2007 SATURN OUTLOOK Owners Manual

Create a folder structure that makes it
easy to nd songs while driving. Organize
songs by albums using one folder for each
album. Each folder or album should contain
18 songs or less.
Avoid subfolders. The system can support up to
eight 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, .wpl or .pls
extension as 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 can 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 burning it. Trying
to add music to an existing disc can cause the
disc not to function in the player.
Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R or CD-RW is
treated as a folder. If the root directory has
compressed audio les, the directory is displayed
as F1 ROOT. All les contained directly under
the root directory are accessed prior to any root
directory folders. However, playlists (Px) are
always accessed before root folders or les.
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 advances to the next
folder in the le structure that contains compressed
audio les. The empty folder does not display.

No Folder
When the CD-R or CD-RW contains only
compressed les, the les are located under the
root folder. The next and previous folder function
does not function on a CD-R or CD-RW that was
recorded without folders or playlists. When
displaying the name of the folder the radio
displays ROOT.
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 search 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. After 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. After 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 the
folder mode was chosen 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. Parts of words on the last
page of text and the extension of the lename
displays.

Preprogrammed Playlists
Preprogrammed playlists that were created using
WinAmp™, MusicMatch™, or Real Jukebox™
software can be accessed, however, they cannot
be edited using the radio. These playlists are
treated as special folders containing compressed
audio song les.
Playing an MP3/WMA (In Either the DVD

the top or bottom slot, label side up. The player

The menu reads left to right as RDM (Randomize
song play order), a Folder icon with left and right
arrows (to move up or down through available
folders), a PL tag if the disc has a Playlist available,
and a Music Navigator tag. If a Playlist tag is
shown, toggling this key brings up a Folder softkey
only or the menu as previously described.If the ignition or radio is turned off with a CD-R or
CD-RW in the player, it stays in the player.
When the ignition or radio is turned on, the CD-R
