HD Radio Reception and Station Troubleshooting
Potential reception issues
If you are listening to a multicast station and you are on the fringe of
the reception area, the station may mute due to weak signal strength.
Reception area
If you are listening to HD1, the system switches back to the analog
broadcast until the digital broadcast is available again. However, if you
are listening to any of the possible HD2-HD7 multicast channels, the
station mutes and stays muted unless it is able to connect to the digital
signal again.
When the system first receives a station (aside from HD2-HD7 multicast
stations), it first plays the station in the analog version. Once the receiver
verifies the station is an HD Radio station, it shifts to the digital version.
Depending on the station quality, you may hear a slight sound change
when the station changes from analog to digital. Blending is the shift
from analog to digital sound or digital back to analog sound.

SIRIUS Satellite Radio Reception Factors and Troubleshooting
Potential reception issues
For optimal reception performance, keep the antenna clear of snow
and ice build-up and keep luggage and other materials as far away
from the antenna as possible.
Antenna obstruc-
tions
Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway overpasses,
parking garages, dense tree foliage and thunderstorms can interfere
with your reception.
Terrain
When you pass a ground-based broadcast-repeating tower, a
stronger signal may overtake a weaker one and the audio system
may mute.

Your display may show ACQUIRING... to indicate the interference
and the audio system may mute.

Supported Media Players, Formats
and Metadata Information
SYNC is capable of hosting nearly any
digital media player, including iPod,
Zune ™, plays from device players, and
most USB drives. Supported audio formats
include MP3, WMA, WAV and AAC.
It is also able to organize your indexed
media from your playing device by
metadata tags. Metadata tags, which are
descriptive software identifiers embedded
in the media files, provide information
about the file.
If your indexed media files contain no
information embedded in these metadata
tags, SYNC may classify the empty
metadata tags as unknown.

The system allows you to stream audio
over your vehicle's speakers from your

A/V Inputs WARNINGS
Driving while distracted can result in
loss of vehicle control, crash and
injury. We strongly recommend that
you use extreme caution when using any
device that may take your focus off the
road. Your primary responsibility is the safe
operation of your vehicle. We recommend
against the use of any handheld device
while driving and encourage the use of
voice-operated systems when possible.
Make sure you are aware of all applicable
local laws that may affect the use of
electronic devices while driving. For safety reasons, do not connect
or adjust the settings on your
portable music player while your
vehicle is moving.

WARNINGS
Store the portable music player in a
secure location, such as the center
console or the glove box, when your
vehicle is moving. Hard objects may
become projectiles in a crash or sudden
stop, which may increase the risk of serious
injury. The audio extension cable must be
long enough to allow the portable music
player to be safely stored while your
vehicle is moving. The A/V inputs allow you to connect an
auxiliary audio/video source (for example
gaming systems or a personal camcorder)
by connecting RCA cords (not included)
to these input jacks. The jacks are yellow,
red and white and are located either
behind a small access door on the
instrument panel or in your center console.
You can also use the A/V inputs as an
auxiliary input jack to play music from your
portable music player over your vehicle's
speakers. Plug in your 1/8 inch (3.5
millimeter) RCA adapter into the two left
A/V input jacks (red and white).
To use the auxiliary input jack feature,
make sure that your portable music player
is designed for use with headphones and
that it is fully charged. You also need an
audio extension cable with stereo male
1/8-inch (3.5 millimeter) connectors at one
end and a RCA jack at the other. 1. Switch off the engine, radio and
portable music player. Set the parking
brake and put the transmission in
position P.
2. Attach one end of the audio extension
cable to the headphone output of your
player and the other end into the
adapter in one of the two left A/V input
jacks (white or red) inside the center
console.
3. Press the lower left corner on the touchscreen. Select a tuned FM station.
4. Adjust the volume as desired.
5. Switch the portable music player on and adjust the volume to ½ the
maximum.
6. Press the lower left corner on the touchscreen, then select: Menu Item
You should hear audio
from your portable music
player although it may be low.
A/V In
Adjust the sound on your
portable music player until it reaches the level of the FM station by switching
back and forth between the controls.
In order to playback video from your iPod
or iPhone, you must have a special
combination USB/RCA composite video
cable (which you can buy from Apple).
When you connect the cable to your iPod
or iPhone, plug the other end into both the
RCA jacks and the USB port.

Troubleshooting
•
Do not connect the audio input jack to
a line level output. The jack only works
correctly with devices that have a
headphone output with a volume
control.
• Do not set the portable music player's
volume level higher than is necessary
to match the volume of the FM radio
as this causes distortion and reduces
sound quality. •
If the music sounds distorted at lower
listening levels, turn the portable music
player volume down. If the problem
persists, replace or recharge the
batteries in the portable media player.
• Control the portable media player in
the same manner when used with
headphones, as the auxiliary input jack
does not provide control (such as Play
or Pause) over the attached portable
media player.
