2005 GMC CANYON Owner's Manual

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 unless
you have chosen the folder mode as the default display.
See DISPL later in this section for more information.
The new track name will appear on the display.
File System and Naming
The song name that will be displayed 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 4 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 be displayed.
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.

Playing an MP3
Insert a CD partway into the slot, label side up.
The player will pull it in, and READING will appear on
the display. The CD should begin playing and the
CD symbol will appear on the display. If you want to
insert a CD with the ignition off, rst press the EJT
button or the DISPL knob.
If the ignition or radio is turned off with a CD in the
player it will stay in the player. When the ignition or radio
is turned on, the CD will start to play where it stopped,
if it was the last selected audio source.
As each new track starts to play, the track number will
appear on the display.
The CD player can play the smaller 3 inch (8 cm)
single CDs with an adapter ring. Full-size CDs and the
smaller CDs are loaded in the same manner.
If playing a CD-R the sound quality may be reduced
due to CD-R quality, the method of recording, the quality
of the music that has been recorded, and the way the
CD-R 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 try a
known good CD.Do not add paper labels to CDs, they could get caught
in the CD player.
If an error appears on the display, see “CD Messages”

Radio Data System (RDS)

RDS features are available for use only on FM stations
that broadcast RDS information.
With RDS, the radio can do the following:
Seek to stations broadcasting the selected type
of programming
Receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies
Display messages from radio stations
This system relies upon receiving specic information
from these stations and will only work when the
information is available. In rare cases, a radio station
may broadcast incorrect information that will cause
the radio features to work improperly. If this happens,
contact the radio station.
While the radio is tuned to an RDS station, the station
name or call letters will appear on the display instead of
the frequency. RDS stations may also provide the
time of day, a program type (PTY) for current
programming, and the name of the program being
broadcast.
