Care of CDs and DVDs If playing a CD/DVD, 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 discs carefully. Store CDs and DVDs in their original cases or other protective cases and away from direct sunlight and dust. The CD/DVD 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.

Care of the CD/DVD Player Do not add a label to a disc; it could get caught in the CD/DVD player. If a 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 player mechanism. Notice: If a label is added to a disc, or more than one disc is inserted into the slot at a time, or an attempt is made to play scratched or damaged discs, the CD/DVD player could be damaged. While using the CD/DVD player, use only discs in good condition without any label, load one dosc at a time, and keep the CD/DVD player and the loading slot free of foreign materials, liquids, and debris.

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 can also play MP3/WMA files recorded on DVD+/-R discs or stored on a USB storage device. Some USB storage devices may not be supported. 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 When creating an MP3/WMA disc: . Make sure the MP3/WMA files


are recorded on a CD‐R or CD‐RW disc.


. Do not mix standard audio and


MP3/WMA files on one disc. . Make sure the CD does not


have more than a maximum of 50 folders and playlists, and 255 files to read and play.


. 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.


. Avoid subfolders. The system


can support up to eight subfolders deep. Keep the total number of folders to a minimum to reduce the complexity and confusion during playback.


. Create playlists that have a .m3u


or .wpl extension; other file extensions may not work.


. 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, 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.


Playlists can be selected by using the previous and next folder buttons, the SEEK arrows, or the \ 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


Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (Include Mex) - 2012


Black plate (27,1)


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 empty folders and no compressed files in 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 go to the root folder. The radio displays F1 DISC for the root directory.


Infotainment System 7-27


Order of Play Tracks recorded to the CD-R or CD-RW play in the following order: . 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.


. 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.

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.


Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (Include Mex) - 2012


Black plate (31,1)


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. To make HDD navigation easier, 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 the Gracenote Database for an audio CD that has been recorded. If this happens, the radio will display “Multi‐Hit” for the name information when the songs are selected from the HDD. With a “Multi‐Hit” song playing, press the button below the EDIT tab 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 “Multi‐Hit” recorded CD.

Phone


Bluetooth For vehicles equipped with Bluetooth capability, the system can interact with many cell phones, allowing: . Placement and receipt of calls in


a hands-free mode.


. Sharing of the cell phone’s


address book or contact list with the vehicle.


To minimize driver distraction, before driving, and with the vehicle parked: . Become familiar with the


features of the cell phone. Organize the phone book and contact lists clearly and delete duplicate or rarely used entries. If possible, program speed dial or other shortcuts.


. Review the controls and


operation of the infotainment system.


. Pair cell phone(s) to the vehicle.


The system may not work with all cell phones. See “Pairing” in this section for more information. If the cell phone has voice dialing capability, learn to use that feature to access the address book or contact list. See “Voice Pass-Thru” in this section for more information.


. See “Storing and Deleting Phone


Numbers” in this section for more information.


{ WARNING


When using a cell phone, it can be distracting to look too long or too often at the screen of the phone or the infotainment (navigation) system. Taking your eyes off the road too long or too often could cause a crash resulting in injury or death. Focus your attention on driving.

Vehicles with a Bluetooth® system can use a Bluetooth-capable cell phone with a Hands-Free Profile to make and receive phone calls. The system can be used while the ignition is in the ON/RUN or ACC/ACCESSORY position. The range of the Bluetooth system can be up to 9.1 m (30 ft). Not all phones support all functions, and not all phones work with the Bluetooth system. See www.gm.com/bluetooth for more information on compatible phones. Voice Recognition The Bluetooth system uses voice recognition to interpret voice commands to dial phone numbers and name tags. For additional information say “Help” while you are in a voice recognition menu.


Noise: Keep interior noise levels to a minimum. The system may not recognize voice commands if there is too much background noise. When to Speak: A short tone sounds after the system responds indicating when it is waiting for a voice command. Wait until the tone and then speak. How to Speak: Speak clearly in a calm and natural voice. Audio System When using the in-vehicle Bluetooth system, sound comes through the vehicle's front audio system speakers and over-rides the audio system. Use the audio system volume knob, during a call, to change the volume level. The adjusted volume level remains in memory for later calls. To prevent missed calls, a minimum volume level is used if the volume is turned down too low.

Automatic Operation AUTO (Automatic): The system automatically controls fan speed, air delivery, and air conditioning in order to heat or cool the vehicle to the desired temperature. When the indicator light is on, the system is in full automatic operation. If the air delivery mode or fan setting is manually adjusted, the auto indicator turns off and displays will show the selected settings. 1. Press the AUTO button. 2. Adjust the temperature to a comfortable setting between 21°C (70°F) and 27°C (80°F). Choosing the coldest or warmest temperature setting will not cause the system to heat or cool any faster. To avoid blowing cold air in cold weather, the system delays turning on the fan until warm air is available. The system starts out blowing air at the floor, but


can automatically change modes as the vehicle warms up to maintain the chosen temperature setting. The length of time needed for warm up depends on the outside temperature and the length of time that has elapsed since the vehicle was last driven.


3. Wait for the system to regulate.


This may take from 10 to 30 minutes. Then adjust the temperature, if necessary.


English can be changed to metric units through the Driver Information Center (DIC). See Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 5‑28. Q / R (Temperature Control): The temperature can be adjusted separately for the driver and the passenger. Press to increase or decrease the automatic temperature settings.


PASS (Passenger Climate Control): Press to set a different temperature for the passenger. Then adjust the passenger temperature buttons to a comfortable setting. Pressing the PASS button again automatically sets the passenger's temperature to the driver's setting. Turning the passenger's temperature display off does not shut the passenger's climate control system off.


Manual Operation O (Power): Press to turn the climate control system on or off. When the climate control system is turned off the air inlet defaults to outside air. D C (Fan Control): Press the buttons to increase or decrease the fan speed. Pressing either button cancels automatic fan control.

Press AUTO to return to automatic operation. The blower may reduce during an Onstar® session to limit background noise. If the airflow seems low when the fan speed is at the highest setting, the passenger compartment air filter might need to be replaced. For more information, see Passenger Compartment Air Filter on page 8‑6
and Maintenance Schedule on page 11‑4. H G (Air Delivery Mode Control): Press the buttons to change the direction of the airflow. The current mode appears in the display screen. Changing the mode cancels the automatic air delivery. Press AUTO to return to automatic operation. The outboard air outlets always receive some airflow in every mode, except defrost.


To change the current mode, select one of the following: Y (Vent): Air is directed to the instrument panel outlets. \ (Bi-Level): Air is divided between the instrument panel outlets and the floor outlets. In automatic operation, cooler air is directed to the upper outlets and warmer air to the floor outlets. [ (Floor): Air is directed to the floor outlets, with some air directed to the windshield and outboard outlets. - (Defog): This mode clears the windows of fog or moisture. Air is directed to the windshield, floor, and side window outlets. When this mode is selected, the system turns off recirculation and runs the air-conditioning compressor unless the outside temperature is at or below freezing. If recirculation is selected while in defog mode, it is cancelled after 10 minutes.

0 (Defrost): This mode clears the windshield of fog or frost more quickly. Air is directed to the windshield, with some air directed to the side windows. In this mode, the system automatically turns off recirculation and runs the air-conditioning compressor, unless the outside temperature is at or below freezing. This mode can also cause the fan speed and air temperature to increase. # (Air Conditioning): Press to turn the air conditioning system on or off and override the automatic system. When in AUTO, the air conditioning compressor comes on automatically, as needed. The air conditioning system removes moisture from the air, so water might drip under the vehicle
