2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA CD player

When the CD-R or CD-RW contains only playlists
and compressed audio les, but no folders, all les
are located under the root folder. The folder down
and the folder up buttons searches playlists (Px)
rst and then goes to the root folder. When the
radio displays the name of the folder the radio
displays ROOT.
Order of Play
Tracks recorded to the CD-R or CD-RW are
played in the following order:
Play begins from the rst track in the rst
playlist and continues sequentially through
all tracks in each playlist. When the last track
of the last playlist has played, play continues
from the rst track of the rst playlist.
Play begins from the rst track in the rst
folder and continues sequentially through
all tracks in each folder. When the last track of
the last folder has played, play continues
from the rst track of the rst folder.
When play enters a new folder, the display does
not automatically show the new folder name unless
you have chosen the folder mode as the default
display. The new track name displays.
File System and Naming
The song name that displays is the song name
that is contained in the ID3 tag. If the song name is
not present in the ID3 tag, then the radio displays
the le name without the extension (such
as .mp3) as the track name.
Track names longer than 32 characters or
four pages are shortened. The display does not
show parts of words on the last page of text
and the extension of the lename is not displayed.
Preprogrammed Playlists
Preprogrammed playlists that were created using
WinAmp™, MusicMatch™, or Real Jukebox™
software can be accessed, however, you do not
have playlist editing capability using the radio.
These playlists are treated as special folders
containing compressed audio song les.

Insert a CD-R or CD-RW partway into the slot
(Single CD Player), or press the load button and
wait for the message to insert disc (Six-Disc
CD Player), label side up. The player pulls it in,
and the CD-R or CD-RW should begin playing.

have played, the player moves to the next album in
alphabetical order on the CD-R or CD-RW and
begins playing MP3 les from that album.
To exit music navigator mode, press the
pushbutton below the Back label to return to

FM Stereo
FM stereo gives the best sound, but FM signals
only reach about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). Tall
buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals,
causing the sound to fade in and out.
XM™ Satellite Radio Service
XM™ Satellite Radio Service gives digital radio
reception from coast-to-coast in the 48 contiguous
United States, and in Canada. Just as with FM,
tall buildings or hills can interfere with satellite
radio signals, causing the sound to fade in and out.
In addition, traveling or standing under heavy
foliage, bridges, garages, or tunnels could cause
loss of the XM™ signal for a period of time.
The radio might display NO XM SIGNAL to
indicate interference.
Care of Your CDs
Handle CDs carefully. Store them in their original
cases or other protective cases and away from
direct sunlight and dust. The CD player scans the
bottom surface of the disc. If the surface of a CD is
damaged, such as cracked, broken, or scratched,
the CD does not play properly or not at all. If the
surface of a CD is soiled, take a soft, lint free cloth
or dampen a clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral
detergent solution mixed with water, and clean it.
Make sure the wiping process starts from the center
to the edge.
Do not touch the bottom side of a CD while
handling it; this could damage the surface. Pick up
CDs by grasping the outer edges or the edge of
the hole and the outer edge.
Care of the CD Player
Do not use CD lens cleaners for CD players
because the lens of the CD optics can become
contaminated by lubricants.
