Multiple Compact Disc Player Magazine Loading:

With the optional compact disc player, you can play up to 12 discs continuously. Normal size discs may be played using the trays supplied in the magazine.

The 8 cm "single" mini-discs can be played only with specially designed trays.

You must first load the magazine with discs before you can play a compact disc. Each of the 12 trays holds one disc. Press the button on the back of the magazine and pull gently on one of the trays. Load the trays from bottom to top, placing a disc on the tray label side down. If you load a disc label side up, the disc will not play and an error will occur. Gently push the tray back into the magazine slot. Repeat this procedure for loading up to 12 discs in the magazine.

Once you have loaded the discs in the magazine, slide open the door of the compact disc (CD) player. Push the magazine into the player in the direction of the arrow marked on top of the magazine.

Close the door by sliding it all the way to the left. If the door is left partially open the player will not operate and an error will occur. When the door is closed, the player will begin checking for discs in the magazine. This will continue for up to two minutes depending on the number of discs loaded.

To eject the magazine from the player, slide the CD player door all the way open. The magazine will automatically eject. Remember to keep the door closed whenever possible to keep dirt and dust from getting inside the player.

All of the CD functions are controlled by the radio buttons except for ejecting the magazine. Whenever a CD magazine with discs is loaded in the player, the compact disc symbol will appear on the radio display. If the CD player is checking the magazine for CDs, the compact disc symbol will flash on the display until the player is ready to play. When a CD begins playing, CD will appear in the bottom left corner and a disc and track number will be displayed. The disc numbers are listed on the front of the magazine.
