CD select

CD mode may be entered by
pressing the CD control and the
LOAD control. Load the CD into the
audio system. The first track of the
disc will begin playing. After that, CD play will begin where it stopped
last.

If an alternative CD is desired, press the corresponding preset control
(1–6) of a loaded CD, or press the TUNE control to access the other
loaded CDs.

NO CD will display if the CD control is activated when there is not a CD
present in the audio system.

If the CD control is pressed followed by with a preset number and that
particular slot is empty, NO CD will display and the system will begin to
play the next available disc.

CD units are designed to play commercially pressed 12 cm (4.75
in) audio compact discs only. Due to technical incompatibility,
certain recordable and re-recordable compact discs may not
function correctly when used in Mazda CD players. Irregular
shaped CDs, CDs with a scratch protection film attached, and CDs
with homemade paper (adhesive) labels should not be inserted
into the CD player. The label may peel and cause the CD to
become jammed. It is recommended that homemade CDs be
identified with permanent felt tip marker rather than adhesive
labels. Ball point pens may damage CDs. Please contact your
dealer for further information.

Display description

Six circles are always lit in the digital display. These signify the six CD
slots in the audio system. When a disc is loaded into a particular slot
(1–6), the number inside that specific circle lights. If the circle is empty,
there is no CD in that particular slot.

Load

The load feature allows you to load
single CDs into the player internal
to the radio.

This six disc CD player is equipped with a CD door. Compact
discs should only be inserted into the player after the CD door
has been opened by the player. Do not attempt to force the door
open. Compact discs should only be loaded by pressing the LOAD
control.

MP3 DISC QUALITY FACTORS

The MACH

t MP3 music system is designed for use with CD-DA (regular

audio discs), CD-R and CD-RW discs. Discs must comply with ISO 9660
and Joliet standards.

Several factors can effect disc playback quality:
• Disc capacity — Each disc contains about 650 MB of storage capacity.

We do not recommend using high capacity discs containing 700MB of
storage.

• Disc type — Some CD-RW discs may operate inconsistently and may

cause an error message to appear. We recommend burning MP3 files
onto CD-R discs.

• Disc finalization — The disc may be left open for the purpose of

adding sessions to it at a later time, but be sure to close each session
or the disc will not play.

• Bit rate — The player supports bit rates from 56–320 kbps, as well as

variable bit rate MP3 files, but lower bit rates will have a noticeable
effect on sound quality and are recommended only for speech or low
fidelity music material. We recommend that you encode MP3 files
using a high quality encoder.

• PC configuration — Encoding MP3 files requires intensive use of your

computer’s resources. Follow the PC configuration recommendations
of the encoder software vendor. We recommend that you avoid
running other software applications on your PC during MP3 encoding
to avoid undesirable noise and distortion.

CD, MP3 AND CD PLAYER CARE

• Handle discs by their edges only. Never touch the playing surface.
• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for extended

periods of time.

• Do not insert more than one disc into the slot of the CD player (if

equipped).

• Always store discs out of direct sunlight. Excessive heat may damage

or warp discs.

• Use care when handling and playing CD-R and CD-RW discs, which

are more susceptible to damage from heat, light and stress than are
regular CDs.

• Always insert and remove a disc by holding the disc flat, with the

playing surface facing down, in order to prevent damage to the disc or
the player.

Entertainment Systems

• Never insert any object other than a compact disc into the player, as

doing so may damage the player and may cause injury to you.

• Do not disassemble the player. The laser used in disc playback is

extremely harmful to the eyes.

CLEANING CASSETTE PLAYER (IF EQUIPPED)

Clean the tape player head with a cassette cleaning cartridge after 10 to
12 hours of play in order to maintain the best sound and operation.

CASSETTE AND CASSETTE PLAYER CARE

• Use only cassettes that are 90 minutes long or less.
• Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, high humidity, extreme heat or

extreme cold. Allow tapes that may have been exposed to extreme
temperatures to reach a moderate temperature before playing.

• Tighten very loose tapes by inserting a finger or pencil into the hole

and turning the hub.

• Remove loose labels before inserting tapes.
• Do not leave tapes in the cassette player for a long time when not

being played.

RADIO FREQUENCY INFORMATION

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio
and Telecommunications Commission(CRTC) establish the frequencies
AM and FM stations may use for their broadcasts. Allowable frequencies
are:

AM 530, 540–1600, 1610 kHz

FM 87.7, 87.9–107.7, 107.9 MHz

Not all frequencies are used in a given area.

Entertainment Systems

RADIO RECEPTION FACTORS

Three factors can affect radio reception:
• Distance/strength. The further an FM signal travels, the weaker it is.

The listenable range of the average FM station is approximately 40 km
(24 miles). This range can be affected by “signal modulation.” Signal
modulation is a process radio stations use to increase their
strength/volume relative to other stations.

• Terrain. Hills, mountains and tall buildings between your vehicle’s

antenna and the radio station signal can cause FM reception problems.
Static can be caused on AM stations by power lines, electric fences,
traffic lights and thunderstorms. Moving away from an interfering
structure (out of its “shadow”) returns your reception to normal.

• Station overload. Weak signals are sometimes captured by stronger

signals when you pass a broadcast tower. A stronger signal may
temporarily overtake a weaker signal and play while the weak station
frequency is displayed.

The audio system automatically switches to single channel reception if it
will improve the reception of a station normally received in stereo.

AUDIO SYSTEM WARRANTIES AND SERVICE
