audio CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 2007 10.G Owner's Guide

When play enters a new folder, the display does
not automatically show the new folder name unless
you have chosen the folder mode 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 32 characters or four
pages are shortened. Parts of words on the
last page of text and the extension of the lename
does not display.
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.
Playing an MP3/WMA
Insert a CD-R or CD-RW partway into the slot
(Single CD Player), or press the load button and
wait for the message to insert disc (Six-Disc CD
Player), label side up. The player pulls it in, and the
CD-R or CD-RW should begin playing.
If the ignition or radio is turned off with a CD-R or
CD-RW in the player, it stays in the player. When
the ignition or radio is turned on, the CD-R or
CD-RW starts to play where it stopped, if it was the
last selected audio source.
As each new track starts to play, the track number
and song title displays.
If playing a CD-R or CD-RW, the sound quality can
be reduced due to CD-R or CD-RW quality, the
method of recording, the quality of the music that
has been recorded, and the way the CD-R or
CD-RW has been handled. There can be an
increase in skipping, difficulty in nding tracks,
and/or difficulty in loading and ejecting. If these
problems occur, check the bottom surface of the
CD. If the surface of the CD is damaged, such as
cracked, broken, or scratched, the CD does not
play properly. If the surface of the CD is soiled, see
Care of Your CDs and DVDs on page 353for more
information.

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
pushbutton below the back label to return to the
main music navigator screen. Now the album name
displays on the second line between the arrows and
songs from the current album begins to play. Once
all songs from that album are 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 pushbutton
below the Back label to return to normal MP3/WMA
playback.
BAND:Press this button to listen to the radio when
a CD is playing. The CD remains inside the radio for
future listening.
CD/AUX (CD/Auxiliary):Press this button to play
a CD when listening to the radio. The CD icon and a
message showing disc and/or track number
displays when a CD is in the player. Press this
button again and the system automatically
searches for an auxiliary input device such as a
portable audio player. If a portable audio player is
not connected, “No Input Device Found” displays.Using an MP3 (Radio with CD and
DVD Player)
MP3/WMA CD-R or CD-RW Disc
Compressed Audio or Mixed Mode Discs
The radio also plays discs that contain both
uncompressed CD audio (.CDA les) and
MP3/WMA les depending on which slot the disc
is loaded into. By default the radio reads only
the uncompressed audio (.CDA) and ignores the
MP3/WMA les on the DVD deck. On the CD
deck, pressing the CAT button toggles between
compressed and uncompressed audio format, the
default being the uncompressed format (.CDA).
MP3/WMA Format
If you burn your own MP3/WMA disc on a
personal computer:
Make sure the MP3/WMA les are recorded
on a CD-R or CD-RW disc.
Do not mix standard audio and MP3/WMA
les on one disc.
327

The CD player (lower slot) is able to read and
play a maximum combination of 512 les and
folders. The DVD player (upper slot) is
able to read 255 folders, 15 playlists and
40 sessions.
Create a folder structure that makes it easy
to nd 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, however, keep the
total number of folders to a minimum in
order to reduce the complexity and confusion
in trying to locate a particular folder during
playback.
Make sure playlists have a .m3u, .wpl or .pls
extension as other le extensions may
not work.
Minimize the length of the le, folder or playlist
names. Long le, folder, or playlist names, or a
combination of a large number of les and
folders, or playlists can cause the player to be
unable to play up to the maximum number of
les, folders, playlists, or sessions. If you wish
to play a large number of les, folders, playlists,
or sessions, minimize the length of the le,
folder, or playlist name. Long names also take
up more space on the display, potentially
getting cut off.
Finalize the audio disc before you burn it.
Trying to add music to an existing disc can
cause the disc not to function in the player.
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 is displayed
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.
328

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 function
does not function 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 are
played 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.
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 was chosen as the default
display. The new track name displays.
329

File System and Naming
The song name that is displayed 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 32 characters or four
pages are shortened. Parts of words on the
last page of text and the extension of the lename
displays.
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.
Playing an MP3/WMA (In Either the DVD or
CD Slot)
Insert a CD-R or CD-RW partway into either the top
or bottom slot, label side up. The player pulls it in,
and the CD-R or CD-RW should begin playing.
Depending on the format of the disc, a softkey
menu appears and allows navigation of the disc.
The menu reads left to right as RDM (Randomize
song play order), a Folder icon with left and
right arrows (to move up or down through available
folders), a PL tag if the disc has a Playlist
available, and a Music Navigator tag. If a Playlist
tag is shown, toggling this key brings up a
Folder softkey only or the menu as previously
described.
If the ignition or radio is turned off with a CD-R or
CD-RW in the player, it stays in the player.
When the ignition or radio is turned on, the CD-R
or CD-RW starts to play where it stopped, if it
was the last selected audio source.
As each new track starts to play, the track number
and song title displays.

device, such as a portable audio player. If a
portable audio player is not connected, “No Aux
Input Device” displays.If a disc is in both the DVD slot and the CD slot the
DVD/CD AUX button cycles between the two
sources and not indicate “No Aux Input Device”. If a
front auxiliary device is connected, the DVD/
CD AUX button cycles through all available options,
such as: DVD slot, CD slot, Front Auxiliary, and
Rear Auxiliary (if available). See “Using the
Auxiliary Input Jack(s)” later in this section, or
“Audio/Video (A/V) Jacks” under,Rear Seat
Entertainment System on page 337for more
information.

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.
Rear Seat Entertainment System
Your vehicle may have a DVD Rear Seat
Entertainment (RSE) system. The RSE system
works with the vehicle’s audio system. The
DVD player is part of the front radio. The RSE
system includes a radio with a DVD player, a video
display screen, audio/video jacks, two wireless
headphones, and a remote control. SeeRadio with
CD and DVD (MP3) on page 305for more
information on the vehicle’s audio/DVD system.
Before You Drive
The RSE is designed for rear seat passengers
only. The driver cannot safely view the video
screen while driving and should not try to do so.
In severe or extreme weather conditions the
RSE system may or may not work until the
temperature is within the operating range. The
operating range for the RSE system is above
−4°F (−20°C) or below 140°F (60°C). If the
temperature of your vehicle is outside of this
range, heat or cool the vehicle until the
temperature is within the operating range of the
RSE system.
Parental Control
The RSE system may have a Parental Control
feature, depending on which radio you have. The
Parental Control feature turns off the video
screen and Rear Seat Audio (RSA). This feature
also disables all button operations from the remote
control and all audio button operations from the
RSA. This feature can be used to gain the
attention of the rear passengers that are using
headphones.
337

Push the power button to turn on the headphones.
An indicator light located on the headphones
comes on. If the light does not come on,
the batteries may need to be replaced. See
“Battery Replacement” later in this section for more
information. Switch the headphones to Off when
not in use. Channel 1 is dedicated to the video
screen, while Channel 2 is dedicated to RSA
selections.
Infrared transmitters are located at the rear of the
RSE overhead console. The headphones shut
off automatically to save the battery power if the
RSE system and RSA are shut off or if the
headphones are out of range of the transmitters
for more than three minutes. If you move too
far forward or step out of the vehicle, the
headphones lose the audio signal.
The headphones automatically turns off after
four hours of continuous use.
To adjust the volume on the headphones, use the
volume control located on the right side.For optimal audio performance, the headphones
must be worn correctly. The symbol L (Left)
appears on the upper left side, above the ear pad
and should be positioned on the left ear. The
symbol R (Right) appears on the upper right side,
above the ear pad and should be positioned on
the right ear.
If the remote control becomes lost or damaged, a
new universal remote control can be purchased.
If this happens, make sure the universal
remote control uses a code set of Toshiba
®.
Notice:Do not store the headphones in heat
or direct sunlight. This could damage the
headphones and repairs will not be covered by
your warranty. Keep the headphones stored
in a cool, dry place.
If the foam ear pads attached to the headphones
become worn or damaged, the pads can be
replaced separately from the headphone set
through your dealer for more information.
339

Battery Replacement
To change the batteries on the headphones, do
the following:
1. Turn the screw with a coin or screw driver
to loosen the battery door located on the left
side of the headphones. Slide the battery
door open.
2. Replace the two batteries in the compartment.
Make sure that they are installed correctly,
using the diagram on the inside of the battery
compartment.
3. Replace the battery door and tighten the door
screw.
If the headphones are to be stored for a long
period of time, remove the batteries and keep them
in a cool, dry place.
Audio/Video (A/V) Jacks
The A/V jacks, located on the rear of the oor
console, allow audio or video signals to be
connected from an auxiliary device such as a
camcorder or a video game unit to the RSE system.
Adapter connectors or cables may be required to
connect the auxiliary device to the A/V jacks. Refer
to the manufacturer’s instructions for proper usage.
The A/V jacks are color coded to match typical
home entertainment system equipment. The yellow
jack (A) is for the video input. The white jack (B) is
for the left audio input. The red jack (C) is for the
right audio input.
Power for auxiliary devices is not supplied by the
radio system.
