6. Operating Instructions
Once installed, the Yatour Digital Music Changer operates similarly to a multi-disc CD changer.
- Power On: Turn on your car radio.
- Select Source: Press the 'CD' or 'Mode' button on your car radio until the Yatour adapter is selected as the audio source. The radio does not need to be MP3 compatible.
- USB/SD Card Playback:
- Insert a USB drive or SD/SDHC card (up to 32 GB) containing MP3 or WMA files into the corresponding slot on the Yatour adapter.
- Use the 'Disc' buttons on your car radio or steering wheel to navigate between different folders (simulating CDs).
- Use the 'Track' buttons to skip between individual songs within a folder.
- Track numbers will display up to 99, then restart at 01.
- The device remembers the last playback position even after the ignition is turned off and resumes playback upon restart.
- AUX Input Playback:
- Connect an external audio device (e.g., smartphone, MP3 player) to the 3.5 mm AUX input on the Yatour adapter using the provided AUX cable.
- When AUX is selected, audio will play from the connected device. Note that control (track skip, volume) must be done directly on the external device, not via the car radio.
- Pausing Playback: Playback will pause automatically if you use the original hands-free device or select another audio source on the radio (e.g., FM radio).
7. Maintenance
The Yatour Digital Music Changer requires minimal maintenance.
- Keep the device and its connections clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
- Avoid spilling liquids on the device.
- Ensure USB drives and SD cards are inserted correctly to prevent damage to the ports.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Yatour Digital Music Changer, consider the following:
- No Sound/Device Not Recognized:
- Check all cable connections to ensure they are secure at both the adapter and the car radio.
- Ensure the car radio is set to the correct CD changer source.
- Try a different USB drive or SD card to rule out media issues.
- Ensure the audio files are in supported MP3 or WMA format.
- Intermittent Playback:
- Check for loose connections.
- Ensure the USB drive or SD card is not corrupted or has defective files (the device automatically skips defective files, but many can cause issues).
- Controls Not Working:
- For AUX input, remember that controls are on the external device, not the car radio.
- Ensure your car radio and steering wheel controls are functioning correctly with other sources.
