Radio(s) Full View of Radio with CD shown, Radio with Six-Disc CD similar 3-81 The radio with DVD Audio, HDD, and USB utilizes Gracenote® technology to provide Song, Artist, Album, and Genre information for many CD audio discs and is capable of playing DVD-A and DTS encoded discs, (DTS and DTS Digital Surround are registered trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.). Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. Dolby and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories. Radio Data System (RDS) The audio system has a Radio Data System (RDS) feature. RDS is available for use only on FM stations that broadcast RDS information. This system relies upon receiving speciﬁc information from these stations and only works when the information is available. While the radio is tuned to an FM-RDS station, the station name or call letters display. In rare cases, a radio station can broadcast incorrect information that causes the radio features to work improperly. If this happens, contact the radio station. Partial View of Radio with DVD Audio, Hard Drive Device (HDD), and USB The vehicle may have one of these radios as its audio system. If the vehicle does not have one of these radio systems, it may have a navigation radio system. See the Navigation System manual for more information on the navigation audio system. If the vehicle has one of these radios, it has either a Bose® sound system or a Bose® 5.1 Cabin Surround® sound system. See “Digital Signal Processing (DSP)” later in this section for more information on the Bose® 5.1 Cabin Surround® sound system. 3-82 Playing the Radio VOL P (Volume/Power): The power knob is part of the VOL knob and is located above the radio, at the left side of the clock. Press to turn the system on and off. Turn the VOL knob clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the volume. Speed Compensated Volume (SCV): A Radio with SCV automatically adjusts the sound to compensate for road and wind noise as the vehicle speeds up or slows down, so that the volume is consistent while driving.

Care of Your CD and DVD-A Discs If playing a CD or DVD-A disc, the sound quality can be reduced due to disc quality, the method of recording, the quality of the music that has been recorded, and the way the disc has been handled. Handle them carefully. Store disc(s) in their original cases or other protective cases and away from direct sunlight and dust. The CD/DVD-A player scans the bottom surface of the disc. If the surface of a disc is damaged, such as cracked, broken, or scratched, the disc may not play properly or not at all. Do not touch the bottom side of a disc while handling it; this could damage the surface. Pick up discs by grasping the outer edges or the edge of the hole and the outer edge. If the surface of a disc is soiled, take a soft, lint free cloth or dampen a clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution mixed with water, and clean it. Make sure the wiping process starts from the center to the edge. 3-92 If a label is added to a CD, or more than Care of Your CD or DVD-A Player Do not add any label to a disc, it could get caught in the CD/DVD-A player. If a disc is recorded on a personal computer and a description label is needed, label the top of the recorded disc with a marking pen. The use of disc lens cleaners for discs is not advised, due to the risk of contaminating the lens of the disc optics with lubricants internal to the CD/DVD-A player mechanism. Notice: one CD is inserted into the slot at a time, or an attempt is made to play scratched or damaged CDs, the CD player could be damaged. While using the CD player, use only CDs in good condition without any label, load one CD at a time, and keep the CD player and the loading slot free of foreign materials, liquids, and debris. If an error displays, see “Disc Messages” later in this section. Playing an MP3/WMA Disc Radios with the MP3 feature are capable of playing an MP3/WMA CD-R or CD-RW disc.

It is very hot. When the temperature returns to normal, the disc should play. The road is very rough. When the road becomes smoother, the disc should play. The disc is dirty, scratched, wet, or upside down. The air is very humid. If so, wait about an hour and try again. There could have been a problem while burning the disc. The label could be caught in the CD/DVD-A player. If the disc is not playing correctly, for any other reason, try a known good disc. If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error cannot be corrected, contact your dealer/retailer. If the radio displays an error message, write it down and provide it to your dealer/retailer when reporting the problem. 3-93 (cid:129) (cid:129) (cid:129) (cid:129) (cid:129) (cid:129) (cid:129) Hard Drive Device (HDD) Radios with a hard drive device are able to record songs from Audio CDs, MP3/WMA discs, and USB mass storage devices. This type of radio has a 40 GB (gigabyte) HDD. A portion of the HDD is used for the storage of radio system ﬁles. The remainder of the HDD capacity is available for the storage of media ﬁles.

If a partially recorded CD is selected for recording, only those songs which are not already on the HDD will be recorded. Audio CD Song, Artist, Album and Genre Information Radios with HDD, contain a Gracenote® Database that the radio uses to determine the song, artist, album and genre information. The Gracenote® Database allows the radio to record an audio CD to the HDD and store the content using song, artist, album and genre information. Newly released audio CDs as well as some less common audio CDs may not be found in the Gracenote® Database stored on the HDD. If these audio CDs contain CD-text, the radio will use the CD-text information when recording the content to the HDD. If an audio CD is not found in the Gracenote® Database and it does not have CD-text information, the radio will record the audio CD with all song, artist, album and genre names as “NO INFO”. Songs recorded with “NO INFO” to the HDD will be hard to sort, identify, and select. For better HDD navigation, CDs with “NO INFO” can ﬁrst be converted to MP3 format with Tag information on a home computer and then recorded to the HDD from an MP3 disc or USB device. Occasionally, the radio may ﬁnd more than one match in Gracenote® Database for an audio CD that has been recorded. If this happens, the radio will display “MultiHit” for the name information when the songs are selected from the HDD. With a “MuliHit” song playing, press the button below the EDIT label to bring up the list of multiple names found in the Gracenote® Database. Use the Menu/Select knob to highlight and select the correct name for the “MultiHit” recorded CD. The Gracenote® Database stored on the HDD can be updated so that it includes name information for more recently released audio CDs. See your dealer/retailer for more information on Gracenote® Database updates for the HDD radio.

If the vehicle is turned back on within one hour, the radio will automatically resume playback from the pause point. 3-101 Using the Auxiliary Input Jack The radio system has an auxiliary input jack. It is in the center console bin. This is not an audio output; do not plug the headphone set into the front auxiliary input jack. An external audio device such as an iPod, laptop computer, MP3 player, etc. can be connected to the auxiliary input jack for use as another source for audio listening. Set up any auxiliary device while the vehicle is stopped. See Defensive Driving on page 4-2 for more information on driver distraction. To use a portable audio player, connect a 3.5 mm (1/8 inch) cable to the radio’s front auxiliary input jack. The radio automatically detects the device and “Aux Input Device” displays. The device begins playing over the vehicle speakers. If an auxiliary device has already been connected, press the radio’s AUX or CD/AUX button. VOL/ O (Volume/Power): Turn clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the volume of the portable player. Use the portable device to make additional volume adjustments.

Using the Radio Controls to Connect and Control an iPod An iPod can be controlled by using the radio buttons and knobs; the song information shows on the radio’s display. To connect and control the iPod using the radio controls, the vehicle must have a USB port. If it does, it is located in the center console bin. You will also need the special iPod connection cable that came as standard equipment with the vehicle as part of the USB option. The special iPod connection cable can also be purchased or made available, from your dealer/retailer. See your dealer/retailer for more information. This feature supports the following iPod models*: Fifth generation or later iPod First, Second, or Third generation iPod nano iPod touch iPod classic * For proper operation, make sure the iPod has the latest ﬁrmware from Apple®. The iPod ﬁrmware can be updated using the latest iTunes application. See apple.com/itunes. (cid:129) (cid:129) (cid:129) (cid:129) To connect and control the iPod, connect one end of the special iPod connection cable to the iPod’s dock connector. Connect the other end to both the USB port and the auxiliary input jack. The USB port and the auxiliary input jack are located in the center console bin. If the vehicle is on and the USB connection works, a GM logo may appear on the iPod. The iPod’s music information will be shown on the radio’s display and the music begins playing through the vehicles audio system. A standard iPod USB cable, like the one that came with the iPod, cannot be used to connect an iPod to the vehicle. You must use the special iPod connection cable that came equipped with the vehicle or that was made available from your dealer/retailer in order for this feature to work. Use the radio Menu/Select knob to bring up the iPod Menu and select Songs, Artists, Albums, Playlists and Audio books to play from the iPod. The iPod’s battery charges while it is connected to the vehicle and if the ignition is turned to ACC/ACCESSORY or ON/RUN. It can also be left connected to the vehicle after the vehicle is turned off. With the vehicle turned off, the iPod will automatically be powered off and will not charge or draw power from the vehicle’s battery. If you have an older iPod model that is not supported or do not have the special iPod connection cable, you can still listen to the iPod in the vehicle by connecting it to the Auxiliary Input Jack using a standard 3.5 mm (1/8 inch) stereo cable. Command and control of the iPod via the radio buttons and knobs will not be supported when only using the Auxiliary Input Jack. See “Using the Auxiliary Input Jack” earlier for more information. Press the AM/FM, XM or HDD buttons to listen to one of these sources while an iPod is connected. If a disc is inserted, press the CD/AUX button to listen to a CD or DVD-A disc. Press the CD/AUX button again to start playing and controlling the connected iPod. To properly dismount the iPod USB device before disconnecting from the vehicle, press the button directly under the EJECT label found on the iPod playback screen. 3-103 Using an MP3 MP3/WMA Format The Single CD and the Six-Disc CD Radio will play MP3/WMA ﬁles that were recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW disc. The HDD Radio is similar and can also play MP3/WMA ﬁles recorded on DVD +/− R discs or a USB storage device. The ﬁles can be recorded with the following ﬁxed bit rates: 32 kbps, 40 kbps, 56 kbps, 64 kbps, 80 kbps, 96 kbps, 112 kbps, 128 kbps, 160 kbps, 192 kbps, 224 kbps, 256 kbps, and 320 kbps or a variable bit rate. Song title, artist name, and album can display when ﬁles are recorded using ID3 tags version 1 and 2. Creating an MP3/WMA Disc If you burn your own MP3/WMA disc on a personal computer: (cid:129) Make sure the MP3/WMA ﬁles are recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW disc. (cid:129) Do not mix standard audio and MP3/WMA ﬁles on one disc. (cid:129) Make sure the CD does not have more than a maximum of 50 folders and playlists, and 255 ﬁles to read and play. (cid:129) Create a folder structure that makes it easy to ﬁnd songs while driving. Organize songs by albums using one folder for each album. Each folder or album should contain 18 songs or less. (cid:129) Avoid subfolders. The system can support up to 8 subfolders deep, keep the total number of folders to a minimum to reduce the complexity and confusion during playback. (cid:129) Make sure playlists have a .mp3 or .wpl extension (other ﬁle extensions may not work). (cid:129) Minimize the length of the ﬁle, folder or playlist names. Long ﬁle, folder, or playlist names, or a combination of a large number of ﬁles and folders, or playlists can cause the player to be unable to play up to the maximum number of ﬁles, folders, playlists, or sessions. Finalize the audio disc before burning it. Adding music to an existing disc can cause the disc not to function. 3-104 (cid:129) Playlists can be selected by using the previous and next folder buttons, the SEEK arrows, \ FWD, or s REV buttons. An MP3/WMA CD-R or CD-RW that was recorded using no ﬁle folders can also be played. If a CD-R or CD-RW contains more than the maximum of 50 folders and playlists, and 255 ﬁles, the player lets you access and navigate up to the maximum, but all items over the maximum are not accessible. The HDD Radio can support more than 255 ﬁles on an MP3/WMA disc. The HDD Radio does not support playlists on a disc or USB storage device. Root Directory The root directory of the CD-R or CD-RW is treated as a folder. If the root directory has compressed audio ﬁles, the directory displays as F1 DISC. All ﬁles contained directly under the root directory are accessed prior to any root directory folders. Playlists (Px) are always accessed after root folders or ﬁles. The HDD Radio displays the root directory of an MP3/WMA disc as F1 MP3 and the root directory of a USB storage device as F1 USB. Empty Directory or Folder If a root directory or a folder exists somewhere in the ﬁle structure that contains only folders/subfolders and no compressed ﬁles directly beneath them, the player advances to the next folder in the ﬁle structure that contains compressed audio ﬁles. No Folder When the CD contains only compressed ﬁles, the ﬁles are located under the root folder. The next and previous folder functions do not display on a CD that was recorded without folders or playlists. The radio displays F1 DISC for the root directory. When the CD contains only playlists and compressed audio ﬁles, but no folders, all ﬁles are located under the root folder. The folder down and the folder up buttons search playlists (Px) ﬁrst and then goes to the root folder. The radio displays F1 DISC for the root directory. 3-105 Order of Play Tracks recorded to the CD-R or CD-RW play in the following order: (cid:129) Play begins from the ﬁrst track in the ﬁrst folder and continues sequentially through all tracks in each folder. When the last track of the last folder has played, play continues from the ﬁrst track of the ﬁrst playlist. − Playlists can be changed by pressing the next and previous folder button. (cid:129) Play begins from the ﬁrst track in the ﬁrst playlist and continues sequentially through all tracks in each playlist. When the last track of the last playlist has played, play continues from the ﬁrst track of the ﬁrst folder. When play enters a new folder, the display does not automatically show the new folder name unless the folder mode has been chosen as the default display. The new track name displays. File System and Naming The song name displays the song name that is contained in the ID3 tag. If the song name is not in the ID3 tag, the radio displays the ﬁle name without the extension. 3-106 Track names longer than 32 characters are shortened. Parts of words on the last page of text and the extension of the ﬁlename is not displayed. The HDD Radio will display ﬁle names with the extension. Preprogrammed Playlists Preprogrammed playlists that were created using WinAmp™, MusicMatch™, or Real Jukebox™ software can be accessed, however they cannot be edited using the radio. These playlists are special folders containing compressed audio song ﬁles. Playlists must have a ﬁle extension of PLS or M3U. Playlists can be selected using the previous and next folder buttons. Tracks can be changed by pressing the seek buttons or turning the tune knob. Songs are played sequentially; press the s REV or \ FWD to reverse or advance through the playing song. The HDD Radio does not support preprogrammed playlists. To create a playlist on the HDD radio from songs recorded to the HDD, see “Saving HDD Favorites” earlier in this section.
