Using a Compressed Audio CD/DVD Compressed Audio CD/DVD Format There are guidelines that must be met, when creating an MP3, WMA, or mixed disc. If the guidelines are not met when recording a burned disc, the disc may not play. The guidelines are:

ID3 tag information is displayed by the radio if it is available. The radio supports ID3 tag information v1.0, v1.1, and v2.0. The radio displays a filename, song name, artist name, album name, and directory name.

(cid:129) Maximum 32 characters, including spaces, in a file

or folder name. The recommended maximum number of folders is 100 with a maximum hierarchy of three folders.

3-11

(cid:129) (cid:129) Root Directory The root directory is treated as a folder. If the root directory has compressed audio files, the directory is displayed as ROOT. All files contained directly under the root directory is accessed prior to any root directory folders. 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 and the empty folder is displayed or numbered. No Folder When the disc contains only compressed files, the files are located under the root folder. The next and previous folder functions have no function on a disc that was recorded without folders. When displaying the name of the folder the radio displays ROOT.

(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.

(cid:129) All playlist files (.m3u or .pls) must be removed from

disc contents. Playlists are not supported. It is recommended that there is a maximum of 192 files on a CD-R(W) disc. It is recommended that there is a maximum of 200 files on a DVD+R(W) disc. The files can be recorded on a CD-R(W) or DVD+R(W).

(cid:129) Copy protected WMA files are not supported. Scanning Compressed Audio Disc Scanning a compressed audio disc categorizes and allows sorting of songs by folder artist or album. (cid:129) Select center folder/artist/album button to initiate

scanning mode. The radio plays and a progress bar displays.

(cid:129) Background scanning occurs with the radio on and the compressed audio disc inserted but not being played.

(cid:129) Only the first 200 songs appears in the compressed

audio music navigator.

(cid:129) Scanning time varies depending on the number of

files and folders on the disc.

3-12

(cid:129) (cid:129) (cid:129) File System and Naming The song name that displays is the name that is contained in the ID3 tag. If the song name is not present in the ID3 tag, then the radio displays the file name without the extension (such as .mp3) as the track name. Track names longer than 32 characters or four pages are shortened. The display does not show parts of words on the last page of text and the extension of the filename does not display. Playing a Compressed Audio Disc As stated earlier in this section, the player can be used for CDs with conventional CD audio, MP3, or WMA compressed files. Read the information under “CD Player” for more information on playing an audio disc.

Order of Play Tracks are played in the following order:

The radio does not support playlist files.

(cid:129) Order of play differs depending if the compressed

audio disc is fully scanned or unscanned. See “Scanning Compressed Audio Disc” previously in this section.

(cid:129) When playing an unscanned disc, the next and

previous screen buttons may be required to switch away from the current folder when quickly seeking rather than allowing the last song of a folder to play to completion.

(cid:129) Play begins from the first track under the root

directory. When all tracks from the root directory have been played, play continues from files according to their numerical listing. After playing the last track from the last folder, play begins again at the first track of the first folder or root directory. (cid:129) A scanned compressed audio disc in artist/album modes only play songs within the current category. The next and previous screen buttons change to different artists or albums.

When play enters a new folder, the display does not automatically show the new folder name. The new track name displays.

Care of Your CDs and DVDs If playing recorded media such as a CD or DVD, the sound quality may be reduced due to CD or DVD quality, the method of recording, the quality of the music that has been recorded, recording speed, max media recording speed, and the way the CD or DVD has been handled. There may be an increase in skipping, difficulty in finding tracks, and/or difficulty in loading and ejecting. If these problems occur, check the bottom surface of the CD or DVD. If the surface is damaged, such as cracked, broken, or scratched, it will not play properly. If the surface is soiled, see “Care of Your CDs and DVDs” in the Index of the vehicle’s owner manual. If there is no apparent damage, try a known good CD or DVD. Notice: than one CD or DVD is inserted into the slot at a time, or an attempt is made to play scratched or damaged CDs or DVDs, the player could be damaged. While using the CD or DVD player, use only CDs or DVDs in good condition without any label, load one CD or DVD at a time, and keep the player and the loading slot free of foreign materials, liquids, and debris. Do not add any label to a CD or DVD, it could get caught in the player. If a CD or DVD is recorded on a personal computer and a description label is needed, try labeling the top of the recorded CD or DVD with a soft marker.

If a label is added to a CD or DVD, or more

Voice Recognition

Voice Recognition ............................................4-2

4-1

Voice Recognition The navigation system’s voice recognition allows for hands-free operation of navigation and audio system features. Voice recognition can be used when the ignition is on or in ACC/ACCESSORY or when Retained Accessory Power (RAP) is active. The radio commands feature only works if the map DVD is inserted. Bluetooth® and OnStar® functions will work without the map DVD inserted. See Bluetooth® and OnStar® in the index of the vehicle’s owner manual. The system may not hear you or may hear the incorrect word with the windows open or the convertible top down due to background noise. To use radio voice recognition: 1. Push and hold the SRCE button on the steering wheel controls, if equipped, or the AUDIO button on the radio faceplate. A beep will be heard and the audio system mutes.

2. Clearly state one of the commands listed on the following pages. For example, say “Radio Select FM” or just say, “Radio FM”.

3. The system tells you the command being

implemented. For example, the system says “Radio Select FM” and changes the audio system to the FM source.

4-2

You may end voice recognition by not speaking any commands or by pressing the SRCE again. After about five seconds of silence, the system automatically cancels voice recognition. At times, the system may not understand a spoken command. If this happens, try again. If a spoken command is not available, the system provides feedback based on availability. While using voice recognition, make sure to keep interior noise levels to a minimum. Otherwise, the system might not recognize voice commands. The system recognizes commands spoken in English, Spanish, or French depending on the global language setting in the vehicle. See the vehicle’s owner manual for details about changing languages. Voice Recognition Commands The following list shows all of the voice commands available for the navigation system with a brief description of each. The commands are listed with the optional words in brackets. To use the voice commands, refer to the instructions listed previously.
