Pontiac 2004 Grand Am - Manual (Page 158)

Playing a CD
With the ignition on, insert a CD partway into the slot,
label side up. The player will pull it in and the CD should
begin playing. The CD symbol will appear on the
display. If you want to insert a CD when the ignition is
off, first press the eject button or push the RCL
knob. If you insert a CD with the radio off and the
ignition on, it will start to play.
When the CD is inserted, the CD symbol will be
displayed. If you select an EQ setting for your CD, it will
be activated each time you play a CD.
If you turn off the ignition or the radio with a CD in the
player, it will stay in the player. When you turn on
the ignition or the radio, the CD will start playing where
it stopped, if it was the last selected audio source.
As each new track starts to play, the track number will
appear on the display.
The CD player can play the smaller 3 inch (8 cm) single
CDs with an adapter ring. Full-size CDs and the
smaller CDs are loaded in the same manner.
If playing a CD-R the sound quality may be reduced
due to CD-R quality, the method of recording, the quality
of the music that has been recorded, and the way the
CD-R has been handled. You may experience an
increase in skipping, difficulty in finding tracks and/or
difficulty in loading and ejecting. If these problems occur
try a known good CD.
Do not add paper labels to CDs, they could get caught
in the CD player.
If an error appears on the display, see “CD Messages”
later in this section.
