CD PLAYER

INTRODUCTION

This section describes the variants regarding the operation of the
CD player: as far as the operation of the radio is concerned, refer
to the description in the "Functions and Adjustments" chapter.

SELECTING THE CD PLAYER

To activate the CD player built into the equipment, proceed as
follows:
❒ insert a CD with the equipment switched on: the first track will
start to play;
or
❒ if a CD has already been loaded, switch on the radio and then
briefly press the CD button to select the "CD" operating mode:
the last track listened to will start to play.
It is advisable to use original CDs to ensure optimum playback. If
CD-R/RWs are used, we recommend using good quality media
mastered at the slowest speed possible.

LOADING/EJECTING A CD

To load the CD, insert it gently into the slot to activate the motorised
loading system, which will position it correctly.
The CD can be loaded with radio off and the ignition key turned to
MAR: in this case the radio will remain off. When the radio is
turned on, the last source listened to prior to switching off will be
activated.

When a CD is inserted the display will show the symbol "CD-IN"
and the text "CD Reading". They will remain displayed for the
entire time required for the radio to read the CD tracks. When this
time has elapsed the radio will automatically start to play the first
track.
Press the button with the radio on to activate the motorised
ejection of the CD. After ejection, the last audio source listened to
before playing the CD will be heard.
If the CD is not removed from the radio, it will automatically be
reloaded about 20 seconds later and the Tuner mode will be
activated (Radio).
The CD cannot be ejected if the radio is off.
If the ejected CD is reloaded without having removed it completely
from the slot, the radio will not switch to the CD source.
Possible error messages
If the CD loaded cannot be read (e.g. a CD ROM has been
inserted or the CD is inserted upside down or there is reading
error) the display will show the text "CD Disc error".
The CD will then be ejected and the audio source activated prior to
the CD mode selection will be heard.
With an external audio source activated ("TA", "ALARM" or
"Phone"), the CD that cannot be read will not be ejected until these
functions have ended. At the end, with the CD mode activated, the
display will show the text "CD Disc error" for a few seconds and
then the CD will be ejected.
