2007 GMC YUKON XL CD player

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, folder 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.
288

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.

File System and Naming
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
Insert a CD-R 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 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 336for more information.
If there is no apparent damage, try a known
good CD.

Notice:If you add any label to a CD, insert
more than one CD into the slot at a time, or
attempt to play scratched or damaged CDs, you
could damage the CD player. When 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.
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 soft marker instead.
If an error appears on the display, see “CD
Messages” later in this section.

disc depending on the number of MP3 les
recorded to the CD-R. The radio may begin playing
while it is scanning the disc in the background.
When the scan is nished, the CD-R will begin
playing again.
Once the disc has been scanned, the player will
default to playing MP3 les in order by artist. The
current artist playing is shown on the second line of

device such as an iPod, laptop computer, MP3
player, CD player, or cassette tape player, etc. to
the auxiliary input jack for use as another source
for audio listening.

input jack. When a device is connected, press the
radio CD/AUX button to begin playing audio
from the device over the car speakers.

Radio with CD and DVD (MP3)
If your vehicle has a Rear Seat Entertainment
(RSE) system, your vehicle will have a CD/DVD
radio. SeeRear Seat Entertainment System
on page 321for more information on the vehicle’s
RSE system.
The DVD player is positioned as the top slot of the
radio faceplate. The player is capable of reading
the “DTS” programmed DVD Audio or DVD
Video media (“DTS” and “DTS 2.0” are trademarks
of Digital Theater Systems Inc.).
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.
