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. How to stop and restart the CD player When a disc is loaded, the unit automatically enters the play mode and the play indicator (a) illuminates. To stop temporarily, press the "PLAY/STOP" button or the "AM/FM" button. The stop indicator (X) in the display illuminates and operation returns to the radio mode. To resume CD play, press the "PLAY/STOP" button once again. NOTE: If the ignition key is turned OFF during play and then is set to the ON or ACCESSORY position, the CD player will resume playing in the mode it was in when ignition was turned off. 157
