2007 CHEVROLET AVEO audio

Playing an MP3/WMA
While the ignition is on, insert a CD partway into
the slot, label side up. The player pulls it in,
Loading, then Filecheck, and then MP3 or WMA
displays. The CD should begin playing. A CD plays
only while the ignition is on or ACC (accessory).
As each new track starts to play, the track number,
and the song name displays.
If the ignition or radio is turned off with a CD in
the player, it stays in the player. When a CD is in
the player and the ignition is turned on, the
radio must be turned on before the CD starts
playback. When the ignition and radio are turned
on, the CD starts playing where it stopped, if it
was the last selected audio source.
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 can 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 can be an
increase in skipping, difficulty in finding tracks,
and/or difficulty in loading and ejecting. If theseproblems 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,
seeCare of Your CDs on page 216for more
information.
If there is no apparent damage, try a known
good CD.
Do not add any label to a CD, it could get caught
in the CD player. If a CD is recorded on a
personal computer and a description label is
needed, try labeling the top of the recorded CD
with a marking pen.
Notice:If a label is added to a CD, or more
than one CD is inserted into the slot at a time,
or an attempt is made to play scratched or
damaged CDs, the CD player could be
damaged. While using the CD player, use only
CDs in good condition without any label,
load one CD at a time, and keep the CD player
and the loading slot free of foreign materials,
liquids, and debris.
If an error displays, see “CD Messages” later in

Using an MP3 (Radio with Six-Disc
Player)
MP3/WMA CD-R Disc
MP3 Format
If you burn your own MP3/WMA disc on a
personal computer:
•Make sure the MP3/WMA files are recorded
on a CD-R disc.
•Do not mix standard audio and MP3/WMA
files on one disc.
•Make sure each MP3/WMA file has a .m3u or
.wma extension, other file extensions might
not work.
•Files can be recorded with a variety of fixed or
variable bit rates. Song title, artist name, and
album are available for display by the radio
when recorded using ID3 tags version 1 and 2.
•Create a folder structure that makes it easy to
find songs while driving. Organize songs by
albums using one folder for each album. Each
folder or album should contain 18 songs
or less.
•Make sure to finalize the disc when burning
an MP3/WMA disc, using multiple sessions.
It is usually better to burn the disc all at once.
The player is able to read and play a maximum of
50 folders, five sessions, and 999 files. Long file
names and folder names might use more disc
memory space than necessary. To conserve space
on the disc, minimize the length of the file and folder
names. An MP3/WMA CD that was recorded using
no file folders can also be played. The system can
support up to eight folders in depth, though, keep
the depth of the folders to a minimum in order to
keep down the difficulty and confusion in trying to
locate a particular folder during playback. If a CD
contains more than the maximum of 50 folders, five
sessions, and 999 files, the player lets you access
and navigate up to the maximum, but all items over
the maximum is ignored.
Root Directory
The root directory is treated as a folder. If the root
directory has compressed audio files, the
directory is displayed as ROOT. All files contained
directly under the root directory are accessed
prior to any other directory.
211

Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists somewhere in
the file structure that contains only folders/
subfolders and no compressed files directly
beneath them, the player advances to the next
folder in the file structure that contains compressed
audio files. The empty folder does not display.
No Folder
When a CD contains only compressed files, the
files are located under the root folder. The
next and previous folder function does not function
on a CD that was recorded without folders or
playlists. When displaying the name of the folder
the radio displays ROOT.
When a CD contains only compressed audio files,
but no folders, all files are located under the
root folder. When the radio displays the name of
the folder, the radio displays ROOT.
Order of Play
Tracks is played in the following order:
•Playback begins from the first track under the
root directory.
•When all tracks from the root directory have
played, playback continues from files,
according to their numerical listing.
•After playing the last track from the last folder,
the player begins playing again at the first
track of the first folder or root directory.
File System and Naming
The song name in the ID3 tag is displayed. If the
song name is not present in the ID3 tag, then
the radio displays the file name without the
extension (such as MP3/WMA) instead.
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 filename
does not display.

The CD player can play the smaller 3 inch (8 cm)

and the smaller CDs are loaded in the same

If playing a CD-R, the sound quality can be
reduced due to CD-R quality, the method of

recorded, and the way the CD-R has been
handled. There can be an increase in skipping,
difficulty in finding tracks, and/or difficulty in loadingand ejecting. If these problems occur, check the
