Media And Audio - Tesla S 2017 Owner's Manual

Media and Audio

Overview
Touch the Media Player application to listen to
Internet radio, stream music or podcasts (if
available), or play audio files from a Bluetooth
or USB-connected device. You can play AM,
FM, and SiriusXM satellite (if equipped) radio.
Available source content displays across the
top of Media Player: Radio, Streaming, TuneIn,
and Phone. An additional source, USB,
displays when you insert a flash drive into a
USB connection (see
page 121). You can browse the content
available on Media Player by touching a
source, or you can use Search to find specific
content (see Searching within Media Player
page 118).
The Now Playing view, which displays at the
bottom of Media Player, enables you to control
what's currently playing (for example,
pausing/playing, skipping to the next track/
station, etc.). You can also use the Now
Playing view to mark what's playing as a
favorite (see Favorites and Recent
120), and access recently played and favorite
stations, music, and podcasts.
The Now Playing view displays regardless of
the source (Radio, Streaming, TuneIn, Phone,
and USB) you select in Media Player. You can
maximize and minimize the Now Playing view
simply by touching it.
Volume Control
To adjust Media Player's volume, roll the scroll
wheel on the left side of the steering wheel up
or down. To mute the volume, press the left
scroll wheel.
The scroll wheel adjusts the volume for media,
navigation instructions, or phone calls, based
on what is currently being heard through the
speakers. If you're listening to a song, audio
file, or podcast, and you receive a phone call
or Model S relays a step in Trip Planner's turn-
by-turn directions through the speakers, the
song, audio file, or podcast is muted
temporarily.
Note: Pressing the left scroll wheel during a
phone call mutes both the sound and your
microphone.

Audio Settings
Achieve the sound you want by adjusting the
fade (front/rear) and balance (left/right), or
by customizing the strength of sound
frequencies. Press the equalizer icon on the
top right corner of the Media Player to access
audio settings.
Adjust fade and balance on the left side of the
screen by positioning the center circle of the
cross bars to the location in Model S where
you want to focus the sound. Adjust any of the
five frequency bands (Bass, Bass/Mid, Mid,
Mid/Treble, and Treble) on the right side of the
screen by dragging the corresponding slider
on up or down on the decibel (dB) bar.
If your Model S is equipped with the Ultra High
Fidelity Sound option, touch the Dolby check
box to enable Dolby Surround.
Searching within Media Player
Search is available throughout Media Player.
You can search across all content categories,
or you can limit your search to a particular
category. Search results include the following
content:
• TuneIn
• Streaming Personal Radio
• USB content
To search, touch anywhere in Media Player's
search bar and enter the name of the song,
album, artist, podcast, playlist, or station you
want to search for. Select a filter to narrow the
scope of your search, or leave it at its default
setting to include top results from all
categories.
Note: You can also search hands-free using
voice commands (see
on page 43).
If you are using TuneIn, you can browse
content by category from the Browse area of
the TuneIn source. You can browse content by
location (Africa, Asia, North America, and so
on), by local radio, by talk radio, by favorites,
and other categories. To return from browsing
or to select another category to browse,
simply touch TuneIn at the top of Media
Player.
