radio CADILLAC DTS 2007 1.G Owner's Guide

Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R or CD-RW is
treated as a folder. If the root directory has
compressed audio les, the directory displays
as F1 ROOT. All les contained directly under
the root directory are accessed prior to any root
directory folders. However, playlists (Px) are
always accessed before root folders or les.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists somewhere
in the le structure that contains only folders/
subfolders and no compressed les directly
beneath them, the player advances to the next
folder in the le structure that contains compressed
audio les. The empty folder does not display.
No Folder
When the CD-R or CD-RW contains only
compressed les, the les are located under
the root folder. The next and previous folder
functions do not display on a CD-R or CD-RW
that was recorded without folders or playlists.
When displaying the name of the folder the radio
displays ROOT.
When the CD-R or CD-RW contains only playlists
and compressed audio les, but no folders, all les
are located under the root folder. The folder down
and the folder up buttons search playlists (Px)
rst and then goes to the root folder. When the
radio displays the name of the folder the radio
displays ROOT.

Order of Play
Tracks recorded to the CD-R or CD-RW play in
the following order:
Play begins from the rst track in the rst
playlist and continues sequentially through
all tracks in each playlist. When the last track
of the last playlist has played, play continues
from the rst track of the rst playlist.
Playlists can be changed by pressing
the
ScandcTfolder buttons,
the
aknob, or the SEEK arrows.
Play begins from the rst track in the rst
folder and continues sequentially through
all tracks in each folder. When the last track
of the last folder has played, play continues
from the rst track of the rst 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 that displays is the song name
that is contained in the ID3 tag. If the song name
is not present in the ID3 tag, then the radio
displays the le name without the extension
(such as .mp3) as the track name.
Track names longer than 22 characters or
four pages are shortened. Parts of words on the
last page of text and the extension of the lename
is not displayed.
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
treated as special folders containing compressed
audio song les. Playlists must have a le
extension of PLS, M3U, or WPL.
Playlists can be changed by using the
Scand
cTfolder buttons, theaknob, or the SEEK
arrows. Tracks cannot be changed. Songs are
played sequentially; press the
sREV or
\FWD to reverse or advance through the
currently playing song.

RDM (Random):With the random setting,
MP3/WMA les on the CD-R can be played in
random, rather than sequential order, on one
CD-R/CD-RW or all discs in a six-disc CD player.
To use random, do one of the following:
1. To play MP3/WMA les from the CD-R or
CD-RW in random order, press the pushbutton
positioned under the RDM label until Random
Current Disc displays. Press the same
pushbutton again to turn off random play.
2. To play songs from all CDs loaded in a
six-disc CD player in random order, press the
pushbutton positioned under the RDM label
until Randomize All Discs displays. Press the
same pushbutton again to turn off random play.h(Music Navigator):Use the music navigator
feature to play MP3/WMA les on the CD-R or
CD-RW in order by artist or album. Press the
pushbutton located below the music navigator
label. The player scans the disc to sort the les by
artist and album ID3 tag information. It may take
several minutes to scan the disc depending on the
number of MP3/WMA les recorded to the CD-R or
CD-RW. The radio might begin playing while it is
scanning the disc in the background. When the
scan is nished, the CD-R or CD-RW begins
playing again.
Once the disc has scanned, the player defaults
to playing MP3/WMA les in order by artist. The
current artist playing is shown on the second line of
the display between the arrows. Once all songs by
that artist have played, the player moves to the next
artist in alphabetical order on the CD-R or CD-RW
and begins playing MP3/WMA les by that artist.
If you want to listen to MP3/WMA les by another
artist, press the pushbutton located below either
arrow button. The CD goes to the next or previous
artist in alphabetical order. Continue pressing either
button until the desired artist displays.

To change from playback by artist to playback by
album, press the pushbutton located below the
Sort By label. From the sort screen, push one of
the buttons below the album button. Press the

displays on the second line between the arrows and
songs from the current album begins to play. Once
all songs from that album have played, the player
moves to the next album in alphabetical order on
the CD-R or CD-RW and begins playing MP3/WMA
les from that album.
To exit music navigator mode, press the button
below the Back label to return to normal MP3/WMA
playback.BAND:Press this button to listen to the radio

Navigation/Radio System
Your vehicle may have a navigation radio system.
The navigation system has built-in features
intended to minimize driver distraction. Technology
alone, no matter how advanced, can never replace
your own judgment. See the Navigation System
manual for some tips to help you reduce
distractions while driving.
Theft-Deterrent Feature
THEFTLOCK®is designed to discourage
theft of your vehicle’s radio. The feature works
automatically by learning a portion of the Vehicle
Identication Number (VIN). If the radio is moved to
a different vehicle, it does not operate. If the radio is
removed from your vehicle, the original VIN in the
radio can be used to trace the radio back to your
vehicle.
With THEFTLOCK
®activated, the radio does not
operate if stolen.
Audio Steering Wheel Controls
The audio steering
wheel controls could
be different depending
on your vehicles
options. Some audio
controls can be adjusted
at the steering wheel.
They include the
following:
xw(Next/Previous):Press the down or up
arrow to go to the next or to the previous preset
radio station.
When a CD is playing, press the down or up
arrow to go to the next or previous track.

system, push this button to initiate voice
recognition and say, “OnStar” to enter OnStar
®
mode, see theOnStar®System on page 139
in this manual for more information.
If your vehicle does not have OnStar
®, press this
button to silence the system. Press this button
again or turn the volume knob to turn the sound on.
If your vehicle has the navigation system, press
this button to initiate voice recognition. See “Voice
Recognition” in the index of your vehicle’s
navigation system manual for more information.
SRCE (Source):Press this button to switch
between AM, FM, or XM (if equipped), radio, or CD.+
e−e(Volume):Press the plus or minus
button to increase or to decrease the volume.
¨(Seek):Press the seek arrow to go to the next
radio station and stay there. The system only
seeks radio stations with strong frequencies.
When the seek arrow is pressed and held for
two seconds, the system scans the radio stations
that are in the selected band. If listening to a
CD, the system advances to the next CD when
multiple discs are inserted.
If you have the navigation system, some of the
audio steering wheel controls work when a DVD is
playing in the navigation radio. See the Navigation
System manual for more information.

Radio Reception
You may experience frequency interference
and static during normal radio reception if items
such as cellphone 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.
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. For better radio reception, most AM
radio stations will boost the power levels during
the day, and then reduce these levels during
the night. Static can also occur when things
like storms and power lines interfere with radio
reception. When this happens, try reducing
the treble on your radio.
FM Stereo
FM stereo will give the best sound, but FM signals
will reach only about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km).
Tall buildings or hills can interfere with FM
signals, causing the sound to fade in and out.
XM™ Satellite Radio Service
XM™ Satellite Radio Service gives digital radio
reception from coast-to-coast in the 48 contiguous
United States, and in Canada. Just as with FM,
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 XM signal for a period of time. The
radio may display NO XM SIGNAL to indicate
interference.
298

Cellular Phone Usage
Cellular phone usage may cause interference
with your vehicle’s radio. This interference
may occur when making or receiving phone calls,
charging the phone’s battery, or simply having
the phone on. This interference is an increased
level of static while listening to the radio. If static
is received while listening to the radio, unplug
the cellular phone and turn it off.
Care of Your CDs
Handle CDs carefully. Store them 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
CD is damaged, such as cracked, broken, orscratched, the CD does not play properly or not at
all. If the surface of a CD 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.
Do not touch the bottom side of a CD while
handling it; this could damage the surface. Pick up
CDs by grasping the outer edges or the edge of
the hole and the outer edge.
Care of the CD Player
Do not use CD lens cleaners for CD players
because the lens of the CD optics can become
contaminated by lubricants.
