Compact Disc (CD) Player Operation

Delco(R) AM/FM Stereo, Cassette, Cassette, CD Player And Clock:




NOTE: This CD player is designed to play only 120 mm (4.75 inch) size discs. All CDs used in this system must display the block-lettered symbol COMPACT DISC DIGITAL AUDIO. Insertion of a disc which does not display this symbol, such as 76 mm (3 inch) size discs-commonly referred to as CD single, may cause damage to the CD player and/or disc. Do not use a 76 mm disc when diagnosing problems in the CD player.

COMPACT DISC PLAYER ERRORS
If Err appears on the display, an error has occurred and the compact disc cannot play temporarily. The following conditions may have caused the error:
^ The road is too rough. The disc should play when the road is smoother.
^ The disc is dirty, scratched, wet or upside down.
^ The air is very humid. If so, wait about an hour and try again.

RECALL
Press the RCL button to display the track number currently playing. Press it again within 5 seconds to display the elapsed time for that track. The track number also appears when the disc is inserted or when changing the volume.

PREVIOUS
Pressing the 4 (PRV) button will mute the audio and return the CD player to the beginning of the current track. If this button is held in or pressed more than once, the disc will go to previous tracks, cycling back (if held) or moving one track for each time the button is pressed. The track number(s) will appear on the display.

NEXT
Pressing the 6 (NXT) button will mute the audio and move the CD player to the next selection. If this button is held or pressed more than once, the disc will proceed through further tracks, cycling forward (if held) or moving one track for each time the button is pressed. The track number(s) will appear on the display.

REVERSE
Pressing and holding the 1 (REW) button will rapidly return to a favorite passage. The current selection will remain audible at a lower volume level during the reverse mode. Releasing it will resume playing the passage at that point at normal volume. If the beginning of the current selection is reached, the previous selection will start.

FORWARD
Pressing and holding the 3 (FF) button will advance quickly within a track. The current selection will remain audible at a decreased volume level during the forward mode. Releasing it will resume playing the passage at that point at normal volume. If the end of the current selection is reached, the next selection will start.

COMPRESSION
Pressing the COMP button will alternately enable and disable the volume equalizer between soft and loud passages. To allow all passages to be heard despite road noises, the low volume passages are increased in volume without adjustment of the volume knob. The COMP indicator will appear on the display.

REPEAT
Pressing the 2 (RPT) button once will repeat a selection again after it is completed. Pressing the 2 (RPT) button again will cancel this feature. The word REPEAT will appear on the display while this feature is active.

RANDOM PLAY
Pressing the 5 (RDM) button will play the tracks in random order. Pressing the 5 (RDM) or 2 (RH) buttons will cancel this feature. The RDM indicator will appear on the display while this feature is active.

STOP
Press the STOP button to stop the CD player operation and return to radio operation. Press the STOP button again to return to the CD player at the point where it stopped.

CANCEL CD AND PLAY RADIO
While in the CD mode, pressing the AM-FM button will cancel the CD operation and return to radio operation. To return to the CD mode, press the STOP button and the CD will start playing at the point it was interrupted.

CHANGE FROM CD TO TAPE
Pressing the CD-TP button will switch between playing a tape and a CD when both are inserted. Either CDIN or TPIN (CD or tape interrupt) will appear on the display, depending on which was interrupted.

EJECT
Pressing the EJECT button when the ignition switch is in the ACC or ON positions will eject a CD (and also cassette, if applicable) and switch the audio to the radio if the radio is turned on. The CD will start playing track 1 when reinserted. If the ignition switch is OFF, the EJECT function will still operate, but radio will remain off.
