The Sony CDX R3300 plays CDs.
The Sony CDX R3300 is a CD player and AM/FM radio for your car. It comes with a number of standard CD player features, such as choosing your playback order, choosing which song you are going to play and adjusting the sound quality and volume.
More advanced features include a knob that adjusts to your steering wheel to change tracks and volume. The CDX R3300 plays CDs with MP3 files burned onto them--MP3 files are substantially smaller than standard WAV files, so you can fit more recordings onto a single CD.
Instructions
First Time
1. Remove the front panel by pressing the ejection button and pulling it toward you. Ensure that the car is turned off when you do this.
2. Press the "reset" button if this is your first time using the Sony CDX R3300 or you have recently changed the battery; if this is not the case, skip this section
3. Push the connector on the unit that has the controls on it onto its corresponding attachment on the base unit that you load CDs into. Push it until the left side clicks. The connector looks like a USB device.
Playing CDs
4. Eject the front casing but do not remove it. Do this by simply pressing the eject button without pulling the casing off.
5. Insert a disk with the label side facing up and the shiny side facing down. It should start playing automatically.
6. Skip tracks by pressing the arrow buttons, and skip entire albums (only on MP3 CDs) by pressing the "+album" or "-album" buttons.
Radio
7. Press the "source" button to choose the radio playback option.
8. Press "mode" until you are on the band you want (AM, FM, FM2).
9. Press BTM to have the radio store the six radio stations with the strongest frequencies.
Volume and Rotary
10. Attach the rotary control to your steering wheel.
11. Reverse the stickers on the rotary control if you are attaching it to the right side of your steering wheel. Most drivers will attach the rotary to control to the left side, though.
The stickers indicate which button raises your volume and which lowers it, and which arrow is for track changing. The reason most of these attach on the left is because most cars already have a large lever on the right, and putting it on this side will clutter your controls.
12. Adjust the volume using either the dial on the rotary control or the "volume" buttons on the head unit--the part of the CSX R3300 that you attached in the previous section.
