Ford Compact Disc Player The Ford Compact Disc Player operates when the Audio System is on and a disc is inserted (label side up). Handle the disc by its edge only. (Be sure to read and follow all of the care and cleaning instructions under How To Take Care of and Clean Your CD Player and Discs in this section.) The digital display on your CD player shows the track (selection) number and the elapsed time. Indicators for play a, stop X, compression on ("COMP") and shuffle on ("SHUF") are also in the display. (These features are described later.) Once a disc is inserted, operation of the CD player will override that of the radio. NOTE: The volume, bass, treble, balance and fader controls on the radio are also used with the CD player. Refer to earlier operating instructions on these controls. How to insert a disc and begin play Insert one disc, label side up into the disc opening. When inserted, the disc automatically loads into the unit and play starts at the beginning of the first track (selection). When the disc reaches the end, the disc player automatically returns to the beginning of the disc and resumes playing. NOTE: Once a disc is inserted, the disc opening is secured to prevent the accidental insertion of a second disc. NOTE: The CD player has heat protection circuitry to protect the laser diode. If the temperature of the player reaches 167˚F (75˚C), the heat detection circuit will shut off the player and "TOO HOT" will scroll in the display for approximately five seconds (radio will resume playing). When the temperature returns to normal operating range, the CD player will again be operational. 30
