Electronic Sound Systems Operating the CD Compression feature Because of the wide dynamic range of Ford's 6-CD Changer System, soft passages may be difficult to hear under certain driving conditions while maintaining a reasonable volume level in the louder passages. The compression feature will bring these soft and loud passages closer together for a more consistent listening level. To turn the compression on, press the "COMPRESS"/#5 button. When the compression feature is activated, the display will indicate "C". Operating the Shuffle feature While in the CD mode, pressing the "SHUFFLE"/#6 button will randomly select a track from the disc currently being played. The display will indicate "SHF" followed by the disc and track number (dd-tt). The CD Changer will continue to randomly select tracks for play until the shuffle feature is turned off by pressing the "SHUFFLE" button a second time. How to stop CD play While in the CD mode, press the "AM/FM" button to stop CD play and resume radio play. Also, loading a cassette into the cassette deck will stop CD play and begin cassette play.
