Playlist naming
• When iPod is connected to your radio via PA11-VETTE interface adaptor, the adaptor
scans all available Playlists on iPod and looks for designated GM Playlists are created
for direct access with PRESET buttons on GM radio. The designated GM Playlists on
iPod are related to "P" numbers on radio display as follow:
P1:GM1 .
P 2: GM2 .
P 3: GM3 .
P 4: GM4 .
P 5: GM5 .
P 6: ALL SONGS on iPod
The naming of designated GM Playlists in iTune for PA11-VETTE interface must be exactly
as shown. GM must be in capital letters and there can be no spaces between GM text and
number.
However, you may add any text after the correct naming of a Playlist. (i.e. GM1-Jazz,
GM3_Favorite3 are acceptable Playlist names for PA11-VETTE iPod interface.)
• If no designated GM Playlists are created, PA11-VETTE adaptor automatically relates
the first five available Playlists on iPod to PRESET number 1 to 5 regardless Playlist's
naming.
• If less than five designated GM Playlists are created, PA11-VETTE adaptor automatically
fills up the rest of PRESET numbers beginning with the first available Playlist on iPod.
Example: if only three designated GM1, GM3 and GM5 Playlists are created, the disc
number on radio will be:
P1:GM1 ...
P 2: (first available Playlsit on iPod)
P 3: GM3...
P 4: (2
nd
available Playlist on iPod)
P 5: GM5...
The iPod interface does not recognize Playlists that contain no audio tracks regardless of
Playlist naming. The iPod interface also does not recognize the "On-The-Go" Playlist on
your iPod.
