Buick Enclave: CD/DVD Player

Playing a CD (In Either the DVD or CD Slot)

Insert a CD partway into the slot, label side up. The player pulls it in and the CD should begin playing. (Loading a disc into the system, depending on media type and format, ranges from five to 20 seconds for a CD, and up to 30 seconds for a DVD to begin playing.) If the ignition or radio is turned off while a CD is in the player, it stays in the player. When the ignition or radio is turned on, the CD starts playing where it stopped, if it was the last selected audio source.

The CD is controlled by the buttons on the radio faceplate or by the RSA unit. See Rear Seat Audio (RSA) System  for more information. The DVD/CD decks (the upper slot is the DVD deck and the lower slot is the CD deck) are compatible with most audio CDs, CD-Rs, CD-RWs, and MP3/WMAs.

When a CD is inserted, the text label DVD or CD symbol displays on the left side of the radio display.

As each new track starts to play, the track number displays.

CD (Eject): Press and release to eject the disc that is currently playing. The disc ejects from the bottom slot. A beep sounds and Ejecting Disc displays. Once the disc is ejected, Remove Disc displays. The disc can be removed.

If the disc is not removed, after several seconds, the disc automatically pulls back into the player.

DVD (Eject): Press and release to eject the disc that is currently playing in the top slot.

If loading and reading of a disc cannot be completed, and the disc fails to eject, press and hold DVD for more than five seconds to force the disc to eject.

(Tune): Turn to select tracks on the CD that is currently playing.

: Press SEEK to go to the start of the current track if the track has played more than five seconds. If the track has played less than five seconds, the previous track will play.

Press   to go to the next track.

If either arrow is held, or pressed multiple times, the player continues moving backward or forward through the tracks on the CD.

REV (Fast Reverse): Press and hold to reverse playback quickly within a track. Sound will be heard at a reduced volume. Release to resume playing the track. The elapsed time of the track displays.

FWD (Fast Forward): Press and hold to advance playback quickly within a track. Sound will be heard at a reduced volume. Release to resume playing the track. The elapsed time of the track displays.

RDM (Random): CD tracks can be listened to in random, rather than sequential order with the random setting. To use random, press the softkey under the RDM tab until Random Current Disc displays.

Press the softkey again to turn off random play.

BAND: Press to listen to the radio when a CD or DVD is playing.

The CD or DVD remains inside the radio for future listening or viewing.

DVD/CD/AUX (Auxiliary): Press to select between DVD, CD, or Auxiliary.

If a disc is inserted into the top DVD slot, the rear seat operator can turn on the video screen and use the remote control to only navigate the CD tracks through the remote control.

See Auxiliary Devices  or “Audio/Video (A/V) Jacks” under, Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) System  for more information.

Care of CDs and DVDs

If playing a CD-R, the sound quality can be reduced due to CD-R or CD-RW quality, the method of recording, the quality of the music that has been recorded, and the way the CD-R or CD-RW has been handled. Handle them carefully.

Store CD-R(s) or CD-RW(s) in their original cases or other protective cases and away from direct sunlight and dust. The CD or DVD player scans the bottom surface of the disc. If the surface of a CD is damaged, such as cracked, broken, or scratched, the CD does not play properly or not at all. Do not touch the bottom side of a CD while handling it; this could damage the surface. Pick up CDs by grasping the outer edges or the edge of the hole and the outer edge.

If the surface of a CD is soiled, take a soft, lint-free cloth or dampen a clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution mixed with water, and clean it. Make sure the wiping process starts from the center to the edge.

Care of the CD and DVD Player

Do not add any label to a CD; it could get caught in the CD or DVD 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 marking pen.

The use of CD lens cleaners for CDs is not advised.

Notice: If a label is added to a CD, more than one CD is inserted into the slot at a time, or an attempt is made to play scratched or damaged CDs, the CD player could be damaged. While 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.

If an error displays, see “CD Messages” later in this section.

Radios with CD and DVD Audio Output

Only one audio source can be heard through the speakers at one time. An audio source is defined as DVD slot, CD slot, XM, FM/AM, Front Auxiliary Jack, or Rear Auxiliary Jack.

Press to turn the radio on.

The radio can be heard through all of the vehicle speakers.

Front seat passengers can listen to the radio (AM, FM, or XM) by pressing BAND or DVD/CD AUX to select the CD slot, DVD slot, front or rear auxiliary input (if available).

If a playback device is plugged into the radio’s front auxiliary input jack or the rear auxiliary jack, the front seat passengers are able to listen to playback from this source through the vehicle speakers.

See Auxiliary Devices  or “Audio/Video (A/V) Jacks” under, Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) System  for more information.

In some vehicles, depending on audio options, the rear speakers can be muted when the RSA power is turned on. See Rear Seat Audio (RSA) System  for more information.

Playing an MP3/WMA CD-R or CD-RW Disc

The radio has the capability of playing an MP3/WMA CD-R or CD-RW disc. For more information on how to play an MP3/WMA CD-R or CD-RW disc, see MP3 (Radio with CD/USB)  or MP3 (Radio with CD/DVD) .
