Playing CDs
Normal playback
1. Press the Open/Close button to open the load-
ing drawer.
2. Place the disc(s) in the disc trays with the label(s)
facing up.
•
Pressing the Disc Skip button rotates the carousel
so that you can load disc(s) in other disc trays.
•
The disc tray with the Disc Number marked by a
circle on the indicator will come to the front.
•
The carousel usually rotates counter-clockwise.
However, it may sometimes rotate clockwise
when you press the Disc Skip button four times
repeatedly.
•
If you place the discs in the disc trays and press
the Play button instead of the Open/Close but-
ton, the drawer will close, the carousel will rotate,
and the unit will start playing back the disc in the
front disc tray.
3. Press the Open/Close button again to close the
loading drawer.
When you close the loading drawer, the unit will
read the disc in the front disc tray and display
the number of tracks and the recording time in
the disc.
If there is no disc in this tray, the carousel rotates
until it finds a disc tray with a disc. Disc Numbers
with empty trays disappear from the display.
4. Press the Play button.
The unit will start playing back the disc from the
first track.
After the CD changer completes playing back all
discs on the carousel, the display returns to the
view shown in step 3.
Changing a disc during playback
1. Press the Open/Close button during playback.
2. Press the Disc Skip button.
The carousel will turn so that you can change a
disc other than the one that is playing.
3. Press the Open/Close button to close the load-
ing drawer.
Note:
You cannot select a new disc to play if the loading
drawer is open. When you finish changing discs,
close the loading drawer immediately.
Important notes on handling CDs
1. Carefully lift the disc from the disc case, making
sure to hold the disc by its edges or the hole in
the center.
2. You may use a dry, soft cloth to wipe dust and finger-
prints from the surface of CDs. Do not use volatile agents
on discs, such as thinner or benzine. Also, do not use
conventional record cleaner or antistatic agents.
•
Do not place a CD in direct sunlight or locations
subject to high humidity or low temperature.
•
Do not store a CD in the CD changer tray for a
long period of time.
