audio GMC YUKON DENALI 2009 Owner's Manual

Using an MP3 CD
MP3 Format
There are guidelines that must be met, when creating an
MP3 disc. If the guidelines are not met when recording a
CD-R(W), the CD may not play. The guidelines are:
Sampling rate: 16 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 24 kHz, 32 kHz,
and 44.1 kHz.
Bit rates supported: 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 80, 96, 112,
128, 160, 192, 224, 256, and 320 kbps.
ID3 tag information is displayed by the radio if it is
available. The radio supports ID3 tag information
v1.0 or v1.1. The radio will display a lename, song
name, artist name, album name, and directory name.
Maximum 32 characters, including spaces, in a le or
folder name.
Maximum number of folders is 253 with a maximum
hierarchy of eight folders.
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.
It is recommended that there is a maximum of
192 les on a disc.
The les can be recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW with
a maximum capacity of 700MB.
DVD with MP3 are not playable on this system.
Root Directory
The root directory will be treated as a folder. If the root
directory has compressed audio les, the directory
will be displayed as ROOT. All les contained directly
under the root directory will be accessed prior to
any root directory folders. However, playlists (Px) will
always be 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 will
advance to the next folder in the le structure that
contains compressed audio les and the empty folder
will not be displayed or numbered.
3-13

No Folder
When the CD contains only compressed les, the les will
be located under the root folder. The next and previous
folder functions will have no function on a CD that was
recorded without folders or playlists. When displaying the
name of the folder the radio will display ROOT.
When the CD contains only playlists and compressed
audio les, but no folders, all les will be located under
the root folder. The left and right arrow buttons will
search playlists (Px) rst and then go to the root folder.
When the radio displays the name of the folder the
radio will display ROOT.
Order of Play
Tracks will be played in the following order:
Play will begin from the rst track in the rst playlist
and will continue sequentially through all tracks in
each playlist. When the last track of the last playlist
has been played, play will continue from the rst
track of the rst playlist.
If the CD does not contain any playlists, then play will
begin from the rst track under the root directory.
When all tracks from the root directory have been
played, play will continue from les according to their
numerical listing. After playing the last track from the
last folder, play will begin again at the rst track of
the rst folder or root directory.When play enters a new folder, the display will not
automatically show the new folder name. The new track
name will appear on the display.
File System and Naming
The song name that will display will be the song name
that is contained in the ID3 tag. If the song name is
not present in the ID3 tag, then the radio will display the
le name without the extension (such as .mp3) as the
track name.
Track names longer than 32 characters or four pages
will be shortened. The display will not show parts
of words on the last page of text and the extension of
the lename will not display.
Preprogrammed Playlists
You can access preprogrammed playlists which were
created by WinAmp™, MusicMatch™, or Real
Jukebox™ software, however, you will not have editing
capability. These playlists will be treated as special
folders containing compressed audio song les.

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 nding
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:If a label is added to a CD or DVD, or more
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.
3-22

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.
Auxiliary Devices
The navigation system has an auxiliary input jack
located in the upper right corner of the faceplate.
This is not an audio output; do not plug the headphone
set into the front auxiliary input jack. You can however,
connect an external audio device such as an iPod,
laptop computer, MP3 player, CD changer, or cassette
tape player, etc. to the auxiliary input jack for use
as another source for audio listening.
Drivers are encouraged to set up any auxiliary device
while the vehicle is in PARK (P). See “Defensive Driving”
in the Index of your vehicles owner manual for more
information on driver distraction.If your vehicle has rear audio/video input jacks, located
in the rear of the center console, they can be used
as another source for audio/video listening.
To use a portable audio player, connect a 3.5 mm
(1/8 inch) cable to the auxiliary input jack. When a
device is connected, the system will detect and
automatically begin playing audio from the device over
the vehicle’s speakers.
If a device is connected and you are listening to another
source (FM, CD, MP3, etc.), press the AUDIO key
then press the AUDIO key repeatedly until AUX is
selected or touch the AUX screen button. An auxiliary
device must be connected for the AUX screen button
