2008 BUICK ENCLAVE CD player

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.
Playlists can be changed by using the previous and
next folder buttons, the
fknob, or the seek buttons.
An MP3 CD-R or CD-RW that was recorded using no
le folders can also be played. If a CD contains
more than the maximum of 50 folders, 50 playlists,
and 255 les, the player lets you access and navigate
up to the maximum, but all items over the maximum
cannot be accessed.
Root Directory
The root directory of the CD is treated as a folder. If the
root directory has compressed audio les, the directory
displays 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 contains only compressed les, the les
are located under the root folder. The next and previous
folder functions do not function on a CD that was
recorded without folders or playlists. When displaying
the name of the folder the radio displays ROOT.
When the CD 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 the folder
mode has been 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. 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.

les on the CD-R or CD-RW in order by artist or album.
Press the pushbutton located below the music navigator
tab. The player scans the disc to sort the les by artist
and album ID3 tag information. It can take several
minutes to scan the disc depending on the number of
MP3 les recorded to the CD-R or CD-RW. The radio
might begin playing while it is scanning the disc in the
background. When the scan is nished, the CD begins
playing again.
Once the disc has scanned, the player defaults to playing
MP3 les in order by artist. The current artist playing is
shown on the second line of the display between the
arrows. Once all songs by that artist are played, the
player moves to the next artist in alphabetical order on
the CD and begins playing MP3 les by that artist. If you
want to listen to MP3 les by another artist, press the
pushbutton located below either arrow button. The CD
goes to the next or previous artist in alphabetical order.
Continue pressing either button until the desired artist
displays.
To change from playback by artist to playback by album,
press the pushbutton located below the Sort By tab.
From the sort screen, push one of the buttons below
the album button. Press the pushbutton below the
back tab to return to the main music navigator screen.

Radio Reception
Frequency interference and static can occur during
normal radio reception if items such as cell phone
chargers, vehicle convenience accessories, and external
electronic devices are plugged into the accessory power
outlet. If there is interference or static, unplug the item
from the accessory power outlet.
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM,
especially at night. The longer range can cause station
frequencies to interfere with each other. For better radio
reception, most AM radio stations boost the power levels
during the day, and then reduce these levels during the
night. Static can also occur when things like storms and
power lines interfere with radio reception. When this
happens, try reducing the treble on the radio.
FM Stereo
FM signals only reach about 10 to 40 miles
(16 to 65 km). Although the radio has a built-in
electronic circuit that automatically works to reduce
interference, some static can occur, especially around
tall buildings or hills, 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 may cause
loss of the XM signal for a period of time.
