Playing Audio CD or MP3 Files
The Delphi CD Audio System can play CDs, CD-Rs,
and CD-RWs recorded in Compact Disc Digital Audio
(CD-DA) format, as well as MP3 files recorded in CD-
ROM format**. Playback may vary depending on
the quality of the compact disc and the condition of
the recording device.
To play compact discs:
1. Rotate the central unit so that the CD panel faces
forward. Be sure to follow the arrows when
rotating the unit. Complete the rotation until the
unit locks in position. CAUTION: Do not use
excessive force, which could damage the unit.
2. Press “Power” on the CD panel or remote control.
3. Holding the central unit steady, open the
compartment lid and insert a compact disc in
the CD player.
4. Close the CD compartment lid.
Before playing a compact disc, your Delphi CD
Audio System reads all file and directory informa-
tion on the CD. Depending on file structure, this may
take more than one minute. “READING” is displayed
during this time. The first track on the CD will begin
to play automatically. At the same time, information
about the disc will display.

Proper Care and Storage of Compact
Discs
Scratches, dirt, and fingerprints on the surface of
compact discs may cause tracking errors. For opti-
mum sound quality:
• Compact discs should be cleaned before playing;
using a dry, soft cloth, wipe from the center out,
never in a circular motion
• Do not clean compact discs with benzene or
other solvents, commercially available cleaners,
or antistatic spray intended for vinyl LPs
• Store CDs in their cases when not playing
• Do not allow CDs to be exposed to direct sun-
light or heat sources
• Do not tape paper or apply stickers to CDs
