Cd/DVD Changer: Operation

2004 Toyota Matrix XR, FWD, StandardSECTION Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Chrysler Pacifica. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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.
