CD Changer: Description and Operation

The In-Dash CD 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's. Up to 6 CD's can be directly loaded into this unit, one at a time.

Due to its compact design, the CD 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 changer with the exception of the CD load and eject functions, which are controlled by buttons located on the front of the CD 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 changer information on the radio display.

On JR27 models, the CD changer will not operate with the ignition in the OFF position. With the ignition OFF, CD's can not be removed from the changer.

The CD changer contains a Load/Eject button and an indicator LED for each of the six disc positions as well as an illuminated disc opening. The individual LED indicates whether a CD is currently loaded. Pressing the Eject button will eject the disc presently selected. If the chamber is currently empty, actuating the Select button will position that chamber to receive and load a new disc in that chamber.
