2007 GMC YUKON DENALI audio

Avoid subfolders. The system can support up
to 8 subfolders deep, however, keep the total
number of folders to a minimum in order to
reduce the complexity and confusion in trying
to locate a particular folder during playback.
Make sure playlists have a .m3u or .wpl
extension (other le extensions may not work).
Minimize the length of the le, folderfolder, or
playlist names. Long le, folder, or playlist
names, or a combination of a large number of
les and folders, or playlists may cause the
player to be unable to play up to the maximum
number of les, folders, playlists, or sessions.
If you wish to play a large number of les,
folders, playlists or sessions, minimize
the length of the le, folder, or playlist name.
Long names also take up more space on
the display, potentially getting cut off.
Finalize the audio disc before you burn it.
Trying to add music to an existing disc
may cause the disc not to function in the
player.You can change playlists by using the previous
and next folder buttons, the tuner knob, or
the seek buttons. You can also play an MP3
CD-R that was recorded using no le folders.
If a CD-R contains more than the maximum of
50 folders, 50 playlists, and 255 les, the player
will let you access and navigate up to the
maximum, but all items over the maximum will
not be accessible.
Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R is treated as a
folder. If the root directory has compressed audio
les, the directory will be displayed as the CD
label. 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.
If a disc contains both uncompressed CD
audio (.CDA) and MP3 les, a folder under the
root directory called CD will access all of the
CD audio tracks on the disc.
287

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.
No Folder
When the CD-R contains only compressed les,
the les will be located under the root folder.
The next and previous folder functions will not be
displayed on a CD-R that was recorded without
folders or playlists.
When the CD-R contains only playlists and
compressed audio les, but no folders, all les
will be located under the root folder. The
folder down and the folder up buttons will search
playlists (Px) rst and then go to the root
folder.
Order of Play
Tracks recorded to the CD-R 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.
Play will begin from the rst track in the rst
folder and will continue sequentially through
all tracks in each folder. When the last track
of the last folder has been played, play
will continue from the rst track of the rst
folder.
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. The new track name will appear
on the display.
288

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 display will be blank following the
track indicator.
Preprogrammed Playlists
You can access preprogrammed playlists that
were created using WinAmp™, MusicMatch™,
or Real Jukebox™ software, however, you will not
have playlist editing capability using the radio.
These playlists will be treated as special folders
containing compressed audio song les.
Playing an MP3
Wait for the message to insert a disc, label side
up. The player will pull it in, and the CD-R should
begin playing.
If you turn off the ignition or radio with a CD-R in
the player it will stay in the player. When you
turn on the ignition or radio, the CD-R 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
and song title will appear on the display.
The CD player can play the smaller 3 inch (8 cm)
single CD-Rs with an adapter ring. Full-size
CD-Rs and the smaller CD-Rs 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, check the
bottom surface of the CD. If the surface of the
CD is damaged, such as cracked, broken,
or scratched, the CD will not play properly. If the
surface of the CD is soiled, seeCare of Your CDs
and DVDs on page 338for more information.
If there is no apparent damage, try a known
good CD.

Radio Data System (RDS)
The audio system has a Radio Data System (RDS).
The RDS feature is available for use only on FM
stations that broadcast RDS information. This
system relies upon receiving specic information
from these stations and will only work when the
information is available. While the radio is tuned to
an FM-RDS station, the station name or call letters
will appear on the display. 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.

Playing the Radio
O
(Power/Volume):Press this knob to turn the
system on and off.
Turn this knob clockwise to increase or
counterclockwise to decrease the volume.
Speed Compensated Volume (SCV):The radio
has Speed Compensated Volume (SCV). When
SCV is on, the radio volume automatically adjusts
to compensate for road and wind noise as you
speed up or slow down while driving. That way, the
volume level should sound about the same as you
drive. To activate SCV:
1. Set the radio volume to the desired level.
2. Press the MENU button to display the radio
setup menu.
3. Press the pushbutton under the AUTO
VOLUM label on the radio display.
4. Press the pushbutton under the desired SCV
setting (OFF, Low, Med, or High) to select the
level of radio volume compensation. The
display will time out after approximately
10 seconds. Each higher setting allows for
more radio volume compensation at faster
vehicle speeds.Noise Compensated Volume (NCV):If your
vehicle is equipped with a Bose
®Audio System, it
includes Bose AudioPilot®noise compensation
technology instead of SCV. When turned ON,
AudioPilot
®continuously adjusts the audio system
equalization, to compensate for background
noise, so that your music always sounds the same
at the set volume level.
This feature is most effective at lower radio
volume settings where background noise can
affect how well you hear the music being played
through your vehicle’s audio system. At higher
volume settings, where the music is much louder
than the background noise, there may be little
or no adjustments by AudioPilot
®.
To activate NCV:
5. Set the radio volume to the desired level.
6. Press the MENU button to display the radio
setup menu.
7. Press the pushbutton under the AUTO
VOLUM label on the radio display.
8. Press the pushbutton under the ON label.
