the following is from my 96 bronco owners manual:
"Compact Disc Radio
The Compact Disc Radio combines the Electronic
Stereo Radio with the Ford Compact Disc Player.
Using the Controls on Your New Radio/ CD
Player
Most of the features of this unit work for both
radio and CD operation. Also, some of the *****
and buttons control several different functions,
so be sure to read all of the operating
instructions carefully.
How to turn the radio on and off
Press the “POWER” button to turn the radio on.
Press it again to turn it off.
How to adjust the volume
Press the (+/–) side of the “VOL” button to
increase/ decrease the volume. Bars illuminate in
the display to show the relative volume level.
NOTE: If the volume level is set above a
certain listening level when the
ignition switch is turned off, when the
ignition switch is turned back on, the
volume will come back to a “nominal”
listening level. However, if the radio
power is turned off (with the
“POWER” button), the volume will
remain in the position it was set at
when radio power is switched back on.
Selecting the AM or FM frequency band
Push the “AM/ FM” button to select the desired
frequency band. When in the radio mode,
pushing the button more than once will alternate
between AM, FM1 and FM2. These functions are
used with the station memory buttons described
under How to tune radio stations .

151
How to tune radio stations
There are four ways for you to tune in a
particular station. You can manually locate the
station using the “SCAN/ TUNE” button,
“SEEK” the station, “SCAN” to the station or
select the station by using the memory buttons,
which you can set to any desired frequency.
These four methods are described below.
q Using the “SCAN/ TUNE” button to manually
tune
You can change the frequency up or down
one increment at a time (FM changes in
increments of 200kHz; AM changes in
increments of 10kHz) by first pressing the
“SCAN/ TUNE” button twice (display shows
“TUNE”), then — within approximately five
seconds —pressing and releasing either the
top a or bottom b half of the “SEEK”
button. To change frequencies quickly, press
and hold down either the top or bottom half
of the “SEEK” button. While you are
manually tuning, the display will show a
blinking “M”.
Manual tuning adjusts your radio to any
allowable broadcast frequency, whether or
not a station is present on that frequency.
(See All About Radio Frequencies in this
section.)
152
q Using the “SEEK” function
This feature on your radio allows you to
automatically select listenable stations up or
down the frequency band. Press the top a
half of the “SEEK” button to select the next
listenable station up the frequency band.
Press the bottom b half of the button to
select the next listenable station down the
frequency band. By pressing and holding the
button, listenable stations can be passed over
to reach the desired station.
q Using the “SCAN/ TUNE” button to scan
radio stations
Pressing the “SCAN/ TUNE” button once
enters the scan mode (display will indicate
“SCN”). Pushing the top a half of the
“SEEK” button will begin the scan mode up
the frequency band, stopping on each
listenable station for approximately five
seconds. Pushing the bottom b half of the
“SEEK” button will begin the scan mode
down the frequency band, again stopping on
each listenable station for approximately five
seconds.
To stop the scan mode on the presently
sampled station press the “SCAN/ TUNE”
button again.
q Setting the Station Memory Preset buttons
Your radio is equipped with 5 station memory
buttons. These buttons can be used to select up
to 5 preset AM stations and 10 FM stations (5 in
FM1 and 5 in FM2). Follow the easy steps below
to set these buttons to the desired frequencies.
1. Select a band, then select a frequency.
153
2. Press one of the memory buttons and hold
the button until the sound returns. That
station is now held in memory on that
button.
3. Follow the two steps above for each station
memory preset button you want to set.
NOTE: If the vehicle’s battery is disconnected,
the clock and station memory preset
buttons (if programmed in auto mode)
will need to be reset.
q Using the Automatic Memory Load feature
You can activate the Auto Memory Load
feature by pressing and holding the “AUTO
PRESET” button for approximately three
seconds . Auto Memory Load sets all memory
buttons in AM, FM1 and FM2 sequentially by
seeking out the first five strong stations for
the respective band and storing them in
memory buttons 1- 5. (FM2 will store the
second set of strong stations from the FM
band.)
With Auto Memory Store, you can
continually set strong stations into your
memory buttons without losing your existing
memory presets, which is especially handy
while traveling. Your radio will automatically
set your memory buttons to the strong local
stations so you don’t have to continually
manually tune to existing stations.
Activate Auto Memory Store by pushing the
“AUTO PRESET” button once. Your radio
will set the first five strong stations of the
band you are in (AM, FM1 or FM2) into the
memory buttons. The display will show
“AUTO”, then run through the frequencies,
stopping momentarily on the stations being
set into the memory buttons. The radio is
154
now in the “AUTO” mode and this display
will show “AUTO” each time a preset is
activated.
NOTE: If there are fewer than five strong
stations in the frequency band, the
remaining unfilled buttons will store
the last strong station detected on the
band.
After all stations have been filled, the radio
will begin playing the station stored on
memory button 1.
To deactivate the Auto Memory Store mode
and return to the manually- set memory
button stations (or those stations set using
Auto Memory Load), simply push the
“AUTO PRESET” button. Display will show
“AUTO” then “OFF”. The next time Auto
Memory Store is activated on that band, the
radio will store the next set of five strong
stations.
Using the “AUDIO” button to adjust the
tone balance and speaker output
q Increasing or decreasing bass response
Push the “AUDIO” button repeatedly until
the display reads “BASS.” Push the “+” side
of the “VOL” button to increase bass (more
“lows”), and push the “-” side to decrease
bass (less “lows”).
q Increasing or decreasing treble response
Push the “AUDIO” button repeatedly until
the display reads “TREB.” Push the “+” side
of the “VOL” button to increase treble (more
“highs”), and push the “-” side to decrease
treble (less “highs”).
155
q Adjusting speaker balance
Balance control allows you to adjust the
sound distribution between the right and left
speakers. Push the “AUDIO” button
repeatedly until the display reads “BAL.”
Push the “+” side of the “VOL” button to
shift the sound to the right speakers, and
push the “-” side to shift the sound to the
left speakers.
q Adjusting speaker fader
Fade control allows you to adjust the sound
distribution between the front and rear
speakers. Push the “AUDIO” button
repeatedly until the display reads “FADE.”
Push the “+” side of the “VOL” button to
shift the sound to the front speakers, and
push the “-” side to shift the sound to the
rear speakers.
NOTE: Illuminated bars in the display show
relative levels of bass and treble and
positions of speaker balance and fader
functions after adjustments are made,
then revert to volume level set.
Clock operation
When in the radio mode, push the “CLOCK”
button to switch from radio frequency to clock.
Only the clock numerals will be displayed in the
clock mode — there is no A. M./ P. M. indication.
When in the clock mode, the time will be
displayed until the button is pushed again.
However, if you retune the radio while it is in
the clock mode, the new radio frequency will be
displayed for approximately ten seconds and
then change back to clock.
156
When in the CD mode, push the “CLOCK”
button to change the display from elapsed time
mode to track number mode to clock mode. If
the CD track selection is changed when you are
in the clock or elapsed time mode, the new track
number will be displayed for approximately ten
seconds and then revert back to the previous
mode.
The clock can also be viewed with the ignition
off. Push the “CLOCK” button and the time will
be displayed momentarily.
To set the clock, simultaneously press the
“CLOCK” button and either the bottom ( b ) half
of the “SEEK” button to set hours, or the top
( a ) half of the “SEEK” button to set minutes.
Using the Controls on Your New Compact
Disc Player
Your new Ford Compact Disc Player is capable
of playing 12 cm or 8 cm discs, without an
adapter! The Player operates when the power is
on and a disc is inserted ( label side up ). Handle
the disc by its edge only. (Be sure to read and
follow all of the care and cleaning instructions
under How To Take Care of and Clean Your CD
Player and Discs .
NOTE: If after you insert a disc, the disc is
ejected and “ERROR” begins scrolling
in the display, remove the disc and
reinsert it right side up (label side up).
The digital display on your CD player will
either show the track (selection) number or the
elapsed time. (The display mode can be selected
by pressing the “CLOCK” button.) Indicators for
play ( a ), stop ( X ) and compression on (“ C”).......<<<<<<<
are also in the display. (These features are
described later.)
157
Once a disc is inserted, operation of the CD
player will override that of the radio.
NOTE: The volume, bass, treble, balance and
fader controls on the radio are also
used with the CD player. Refer to
earlier operating instructions on these
controls.
How to insert a disc and begin play
Insert one disc, label side up into the disc
opening. When inserted, the disc automatically
loads into the unit and play starts at the
beginning of the first track (selection).
When the disc reaches the end, the disc player
automatically returns to the beginning of the
disc and resumes playing.
NOTE: Once a disc is inserted, the disc
opening is secured to prevent the
accidental insertion of a second disc.
NOTE: The CD player has heat protection
circuitry to protect the laser diode. If
the temperature of the player reaches
167°F (75°C), the heat detection circuit
will shut off the player and “TOO
HOT” will scroll in the display for
approximately five seconds (radio will
resume playing). When the temperature
returns to normal operating range, the
CD player will again be operational.
How to stop and restart the CD player
When a disc is loaded, the unit automatically
enters the play mode and the play indicator a
illuminates. To stop temporarily, press the
“PLAY/ STOP” button or the “AM/ FM” button.
The stop indicator X in the display illuminates
and operation returns to the radio mode. To
resume CD play, press the “PLAY/ STOP”
button once again.
158
NOTE: If the ignition key is turned OFF
during play and then is set to the ON
or ACCESSORY position, the CD
player will resume playing in the mode
it was in when ignition was turned off.
Using the “SEEK” feature
The “SEEK” feature allows you to quickly find a
particular selection on the disc.
Press the bottom ( b ) half of the “SEEK” button
once to repeat the current playing selection.
Press the top ( a ) half of the “SEEK” button to
advance to the next selection.
Pressing and holding the bottom ( b ) or top ( a )
half of the “SEEK” button will scroll backward
and forward respectively through the tracks.
How to fast forward or reverse your CD
player
To quickly search for a particular point in a
selection, press the “FF” button (to fast forward)
or the “REV” button (to reverse). While either
button is pressed, the disc goes forward or
backward at two different speeds depending on
how long the button is held down. (Pressing
either button for more than approximately three
seconds will speed up the process.) Release the
button at the desired point (found by watching
the elapsed playing time in the display or by
listening to the sound during fast forward or
reverse). When you have reached the beginning
of track 1, the CD player will begin playing.
When you have reached the end of the disc by
keeping the fast forward button pressed, the
display will show “END” and the player will go
into pause mode. Push the “PLAY/ STOP”
button to begin playing the first track of the
disc, press the “REV” button to back up from
159
the end of the disc, or use the “SEEK” function
to locate a desired track.
Using the “SCAN” function
Press the “SCAN/ TUNE” button to enter the
scan mode. Once in the scan mode, press the top
( a ) or bottom ( b ) half of the “SEEK” button to
scan forward or reverse, respectively. The CD
player will begin scanning the disc, stopping on
each listenable track for approximately eight
seconds. This continues until you press the
“SCAN/ TUNE” button a second time. While in
the scan mode, the display shows the current
sampled track number.
Special features of your CD player
q Compression
The compression feature will bring soft and
loud passages closer together for a more
consistent listening level.
To turn the compression on, press the
“COMP” button. When on, the compression
indicator (“ C”) will appear in the display....<<<<<<<<<<
Press the button again to turn off.
q Automatic Disc Storage
If the disc is ejected from the CD player but
is not removed from the disc opening within
approximately 10 seconds, the player will
automatically reload the disc for storage,
unless the disc is automatically ejected due to
a “focus error” (disc inserted upside down).
In this case, the disc will not be automatically
reloaded.
How to eject the disc
Push the “EJECT” button to stop play, eject the
disc and resume radio operation of your audio
system.
160

How To Take Care of and Clean Your CD
Player and Discs
To ensure the continued performance of your
Ford Compact Disc Player, carefully read the
following precautions:
q Always handle the disc by its edge. Never
touch the playing surface.
q Before playing, inspect the disc for any
contamination. If needed, clean the disc with
an approved disc cleaner, such as the
Discwasher H Compact Disc Cleaner or the
Allsop 3 H Compact Disc Cleaner, by wiping
from the center out to the edges. Do not use
a circular motion to clean.
q Do not clean discs with solvents such as
benzine, thinner, commercially available
cleaners or antistatic spray intended for
analog records.
q Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or
heat sources such as defroster and floor
heating ducts. Do not leave any discs in a
parked car in direct sunlight where there may
be a considerable rise in temperature or
damage may result.
q After playing, store the disc in its case.
q If a disc has already been inserted, do not try
to insert another disc. Doing so may damage
the disc player.
q Do not insert anything other than a disc into
the disc player.
161
CAUTION: The use of optical instruments with
this product will increase eye hazard as the laser
beam used in this compact disc player is
harmful to the eyes. Do not attempt to
disassemble the case. Refer servicing to qualified
personnel only.
Common Operating Conditions of Your
CD Player
The following information is designed to help
you recognize typical situations that could be
mistakenly interpreted as mechanical
malfunctions of the disc player.
q A disc is already loaded.
q The disc is inserted with the label surface
downward.
q The disc is dusty or defective.
q The player’s internal temperature is above
140°F (60°C). Allow the player to cool off
before operating.
q Different manufacturers of compact discs may
produce discs with different dimensions or
tolerances, some of which may not be within
industry standards or in accordance with the
CD format. Because of this, a new disc that is
free of dust and scratches could be defective
and may not play on your Ford Compact
Disc Player.
162
If play does not begin after the CD button is
pushed:
q The radio is not on.
q The unit is in the stop mode.
q Moisture may have condensed on the lenses
within the unit. If this occurs, remove the CD
magazine and wait approximately an hour
until the moisture evaporates.
If the sound skips:
q Badly scratched discs or extremely rough
roads will cause the sound to skip. Skipping
will not damage the disc player or scratch the
discs.

 

AIM, I have tried that Ford www site and can't get it to work. I just bought a 95 Bronco and would like to get an owners manual for it. If you could give me that web site please.
