2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO ECO mode

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 displays as the CD label. 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.
If a disc contains both uncompressed CD audio (.CDA)
and MP3 les, a folder under the root directory called
CD accesses all of the CD audio tracks on the disc.
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 function does not display on a CD that was
recorded without folders or playlists.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 up buttons search
playlists (Px) rst and then goes to the root folder.
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.

It could take several minutes to scan the disc depending
on the number of MP3 les recorded to the CD-R or
CD-RW. The radio can begin playing while it is scanning
the disc in the background. When the scan is nished,
the CD-R or CD-RW 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-R or CD-RW and begins playing MP3 les by that
artist. To listen to MP3 les by another artist, press the
pushbutton located below either arrow button. The next or
previous artist in alphabetical order plays. Continue
pressing either button until the desired artist is displayed.
To change from playback by artist to playback by album,
press the pushbutton located below the Sort By label.
From the sort screen, push one of the buttons below the
album button. Press the pushbutton below the back
label to return to the main music navigator screen.Now the album name is displayed on the second line
between the arrows and songs from the current album
begins to play. Once all songs from that album are
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 normal MP3 playback.

Using an MP3 (Radio with CD
and DVD Player)
MP3/WMA CD-R or CD-RW Disc
Compressed Audio or Mixed Mode Discs
The radio also plays discs that contain both
uncompressed CD audio (.CDA les) and MP3/WMA
les depending on which slot the disc is loaded into.
By default the radio reads only the uncompressed audio
(.CDA) and ignores the MP3/WMA les on the DVD
deck. On the CD deck, press the CAT (category) button
to toggle between compressed and uncompressed
audio format, the default being the uncompressed
format (.CDA).
MP3/WMA Format
Burning an MP3/WMA disc on a personal computer:
Make sure the MP3/WMA les are recorded
on a CD-R or CD-RW disc.
Do not mix standard audio and MP3/WMA les on
one disc.
The CD player (lower slot) is able to read and play
a maximum combination of 512 les and folders.
The DVD player (upper slot) is able to read
255 folders, 15 playlists and 40 sessions.
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 might 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 could cause the player to be unable
to play up to the maximum number of les, folders,
playlists, or sessions. 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 could 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 contains only compressed les, the les
are located under the root folder. The next and previous
folder function does 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
search playlists (Px) rst and then goes to the root
folder. When the radio displays the name of the folder
the radio displays ROOT.
