radio 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.

When a multiple command is available, choose the
command that best works for you.
Words that are in brackets are optional. For example,
for the command Radio [band] [select] FM, stating
Radio FM or Radio select FM are both valid
commands.
When the system recognizes the command the
system will:
either perform the function
ask you to conrm your choice by clearly
stating “yes or no”
issue an error message such as “System does
not recognize this command” or direct you to
“Please start speaking after the beep”
If the system is not yet ready, the system may state
“System is checking the disc. Please wait”.
To cancel a command or if the system response
does not match your verbal command, press and
hold the talk symbol button. The system will reply,
“System will cancel the voice recognition”.
