when things like storms and power lines interfere with radio reception. When this happens, try reducing the treble on the radio. SiriusXM® Satellite Radio Service SiriusXM Satellite Radio Service provides digital radio reception. Tall buildings or hills can interfere with satellite radio signals, causing the sound to fade in and out. In addition, traveling or standing under heavy foliage, bridges, garages, or tunnels may cause loss of the SiriusXM signal for a period of time. Cell Phone Usage Cell phone usage, such as making or receiving phone calls, charging, or just having the phone on may cause static interference in the radio. Unplug the phone or turn it off if this happens.

Infotainment System 7-15

Backglass Antenna The AM-FM antenna is integrated with the rear window defogger in the rear window. Do not scratch the inside surface or damage the lines in the glass. If the inside surface is damaged, it could interfere with radio reception. For proper radio reception, the antenna connector needs to be properly attached to the post on the glass. If attaching a cell phone antenna to the glass, attach it between the grid lines. Notice: Using a razor blade or sharp object to clear the inside rear window can damage the rear window antenna and/or the rear window defogger. Repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not clear the inside rear window with sharp objects.

Radio Reception Frequency interference and static can occur during normal radio reception if items such as phone chargers, vehicle convenience accessories, and external electronic devices are plugged into the accessory power outlet. If there is interference or static, unplug the item from the accessory power outlet. FM FM signals only reach about 16 to 65 km (10 to 40 mi). Although the radio has a built-in electronic circuit that automatically works to reduce interference, some static can occur, especially around tall buildings or hills, causing the sound to fade in and out. AM The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM, especially at night. The longer range can cause station frequencies to interfere with each other. Static can also occur

Notice: Do not apply aftermarket glass tinting with metallic film. The metallic film in some tinting materials will interfere with or distort the incoming radio reception. Any damage caused to the backglass antenna due to metallic tinting materials will not be covered by the vehicle warranty.

Multi-Band Antenna The roof antenna is for OnStar, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, and GPS (Global Positioning System). Keep clear of obstructions for clear reception. If the vehicle has a sunroof, and it is open, reception can also be affected.

Audio Players

CD Player The infotainment system's CD player can play audio CDs and MP3 CDs. CDs that are 8 cm (3 in) in diameter will not work in the CD player.

Care of CDs If playing a CD, 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 in their original cases or other protective cases and away from direct sunlight and dust. The CD 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 Player Do not add a label to a disc; it could get caught in the CD 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 player mechanism. Notice: If a label is added to a CD, more than 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

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.

Disc Messages DISC ERROR: If this message displays and/or the disc ejects, it could be for one of the following reasons:

The radio system does not support the playlist format, the compressed audio format, or the data file format. 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 was a problem while burning the disc. The label is caught in the CD/ DVD player.

Infotainment System 7-23

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. If the radio displays an error message, write it down and provide it to your dealer when reporting the problem.

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 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

Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual - 2013 - CRC - 4/18/12

Black plate (25,1)

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 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 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.

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.

Infotainment System 7-25

Playlists can be changed by pressing the next and previous folder button. 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 contained in the ID3
tag displays. If the song name is not in the ID3 tag, the radio displays the file name without the extension. Track names longer than 32 characters are shortened. Parts of words on the last page of text and the extension of the file name are not displayed. The HDD Radio will display file names with the extension.

Re-recording Audio CDs If a CD has already been recorded, the radio system will not record the contents again. If a partially recorded CD is selected for recording, only those songs that 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. 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
