Compact Disc Player (CD): Description and Operation
CD/DVD CHANGERThe 6 Disc In-Dash CD/DVD Changer (if equipped) is located in the instrument panel below the radio. The remote changer does not use a cartridge or magazine for the CD/DVD's. Up to 6 CD/DVD's can be directly loaded into this unit. Three RCA jacks on the front of the unit allow the use of MP3 players, video game systems, camcorders etc.
Due to its compact design, the CD/DVD changer can carry out only one operation at a time. For example, you can not load a new disc while playing another at the same time. Each operation happens sequentially.
The radio unit provides control over all features of the CD/DVD changer with the exception of the CD/DVD load and eject functions, which are controlled by buttons located on the front of the CD/DVD changer. All features you would expect, such as Disc Up/Down, Track Up/Down, Random and Scan are controlled by the radio, which also displays all relevant CD/DVD changer information on the radio display.
The CD/DVD changer contains a Eject button, six disc buttons, an indicator LED for each of the six disc positions as well as an illuminated disc opening. The individual LED indicates whether a CD/DVD is currently loaded in that particular chamber of the CD/DVD changer. Pressing the individual button for a particular chamber, then the Eject button will eject a disc currently present in that chamber. If the chamber is currently empty, actuating the individual button will position that chamber to receive and load a new disc in that chamber, once the load light stops flashing.
