Circuit Operation

Radio Power: The main radio power is supplied by the 10A RADIO (BATT1) fuse in the body control module (BCM). Radio switch-on power, 12 volts in ACC, RUN or RAP, is supplied by the 10A RADIO (ACC.) in the BCM.

Radio Grounds: The main radio ground provides a ground for the radio circuits. An additional braided ground strap provides a shielding radio case ground to reduce EMI noise. Both grounds are connected together inside the radio.

Radio Speaker Outputs: At zero volume, the plus (+) and minus (-) speaker outputs are both approximately 5-6 volts, measured to vehicle ground. If a plus or minus for any speaker output is shorted to ground or voltage, the radio circuitry will turn OFF all 4 speaker outputs for component protection. Above zero volume, the plus and minus change to create a voltage difference between each other, to drive the voice coil of the speaker.

Radio Park Lamp Input: The radio park lamp input allows the radio to sense when the vehicle parking lamps are ON. When the parking lamps are ON, this circuit goes to battery voltage, and the radio display back-lighting switches from full bright to the brightness level determined by the I/P illumination input.

Radio I/P Illumination Input: A pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage for instrument panel (I/P) illumination is provided to the radio I/P illumination input. The Radio uses this input to directly illuminate the radio buttons and adjust the radio display back-lighting when the park lamp input is ON.

Amplifier Power: The main amplifier power is provided by the 20A PREM AUDIO fuse in the instrument panel fuse block..

Amplifier Radio Speaker Inputs (WBM only): The radio speaker outputs, at a reduced output level for amplified systems, are the amplifier inputs. The amplifier boosts these inputs and outputs them to the vehicle speakers. Speaker plus and minus circuits from the radio change to create a voltage difference between each other. If one speaker plus or minus is open between the radio and the amplifier, the input to the amplifier is approximately half because only one of the circuits is changing. The speaker for that channel then operates at approximately only half the normal volume.

Amplifier Speaker Outputs (WBM only): At zero volume, the plus (+) and minus (-) speaker outputs are both approximately 5-6 volts, measured to vehicle ground. If a plus or minus for any speaker output is shorted to ground or voltage, the amplifier circuitry will turn OFF either the front outputs or rear outputs for component protection. Above zero volume, the plus and minus change to create a voltage difference between each other, to drive the voice coil of the speaker.

Amplifier Radio-On (WBM only): When the radio is ON, this circuit is pulled to 12 volts by the radio. The amplifier switches ON when this circuit is 12 volts and switches OFF when this signal is 0 volts.

Remote Radio Audio Signal Inputs (UE1 only): Audio output from the OnStar® communications module connects to the remote audio signal inputs of the radio. When the cellular telephone mute signal goes to 0 volts, the radio over-rides any other audio signal and uses these inputs as the source for output to the speakers.

Cellular Telephone Mute (UE1 only): The OnStar® communications module uses the cellular telephone mute signal circuit to over-ride the radio for OnStar® communication. When cellular telephone mute is not active, this circuit is held at 2 volts by the radio. When the cellular telephone mute signal is pulled to ground, the radio over-rides any other audio signal and uses the remote audio signals as the source for output to the speakers. If the radio was OFF when this circuit is pulled low, the radio will turn ON. Additionally, the radio fades the speakers to full front, adjusts the volume to an initial audible level, and sets an AutoTone designed for optimal use with OnStar®. When the mute signal is no longer pulled to ground, the radio returns to the mode it was in previously.

Component Description

Antenna System

The antenna system receives broadcast AM or FM stereo signals from free space and sends the signals to the radio receiver for processing via a coaxial antenna cable. Good antenna grounding is important for good radio reception.

The antenna base and mast should be installed to the torque specifications provided in the Digital Radio Antenna Replacement procedures.

The antenna mast is a single ¼ wave design located at the right front fender.

Ground Strap

The braided ground strap, which is connected between the radio case and the instrument panel fuse block (IPFB), is provided to improve reception and deter noise from entering the audio system.

Radio

The operator interfaces with the radio system through the radio display and controls. Through these controls the operator is able to control system power, volume, fade, balance, bass, and treble equalizations. Control on the integrated CD, MP3, or XM Satellite Radio system is also available when equipped with these options. A VFD (vacuum florescent display) provides system feedback to the operator.

The radio processes the AM and FM signals from the antenna system or the information from the CD media, amplifies that information and sends the output to the speaker system.

The radio is located in the instrument panel center stack area and is fastened to the instrument panel by two fasteners. Guide pins are provided to aid in aligning the radio. Electrical connections to the radio are a 24-way connector from the I/P harness, antenna lead connector and braided ground strap. An additional 12-way harness connector is present on OnStar® equipped vehicles. Additional service length is provided in the radio harnesses to allow connection prior to radio installation.

Clock time is displayed continuously on the UM7 and U1C radios when the ignition is off. Pressing the RCL provides momentary backlighting. Time is not displayed on the US8 and US9 radios when the ignition is off. Pressing RCL will temporarily display the time.

Radio amplifier outputs to the speakers are protected from damage should speaker leads become shorted to ground or shorted to vehicle power. The radio will sense these conditions and shut down the amplifier outputs in a non-destructive manner. After the short condition is removed, the radio will return to normal operation.

Speakers

The speaker system consists of four speakers, mounted in the doors. The optional speaker system (RPO UQ6) includes an additional speaker mounted in the front driver and passenger door mirror trim panel. The premium audio system (RPO WBM) adds a subwoofer and amplifier.

OnStar®

OnStar® equipped (RPO UE1) vehicles use the radio amplifier and speaker system for voice communication from the OnStar® operator to the vehicle. Voice communication from the vehicle to the OnStar® operator is through the OnStar® microphone and module, which is not a part of the radio system.

When OnStar® begins operation, the radio volume is set to a preset level, autotone preset for OnStar® becomes active and the fade control is adjusted to the full front speakers. The radio volume control can then be used to adjust the volume to a desired level.

The radio system and OnStar® system are connected through the 12-way connector at the back of the radio. Left and right channel OnStar® audio, mute control of radio functions by OnStar®, and the audio signal ground are the circuits provided in the 12-way connector.

Disconnecting the 12-way connector from the radio will isolate the radio system from the OnStar® system. Voice communication from the vehicle to the OnStar® operator could be possible under this condition. However, the vehicle occupant will not be able to hear the OnStar® operator.

For more information regarding radio operation problems, refer to Symptoms - Entertainment and Diagnostic System Check - Entertainment System in this section. For further information regarding OnStar® operation, refer to the OnStar® section of this service manual.

Amplifier

Vehicles equipped with Premium Audio (RPO WBM) include an amplifier. The amplifier has low level inputs from the radio for the four speaker channels and amplifies the sound. The amplifier receives a radio ON signal from the radio. This signal is delayed momentarily at initial key on to prevent any speaker pops during startup.

The purpose of an amplifier is to increase the power of a voltage or current signal. The output signal of an amplifier may consist of the same frequencies as the input signal or it may consist of only a portion of the frequencies of the input signal, as in the case of a subwoofer or a mid-range amplifier.

Subwoofer

The premium audio system includes a subwoofer, which is mounted in the rear of the vehicle. The subwoofer is a single speaker, designed for low frequency response. The subwoofer speaker is a dual coil design. The amplifier, which is included with the RPO WBM premium audio package amplifies the low frequency and outputs it to the subwoofer.

Customer Tips

Radio Reception - FM

Select Stations Within Range: The best FM fidelity will be obtained from stations within a 16-64 km (10-40 mile) range. Noise or distortion may become apparent when attempting to receive stations at distances greater than this range.

Suggestion: Reduce treble response when attempting to receive fringe stations.

Tall Structures: Tall buildings or hills may cause degrading or loss of signal. FM stations tend to travel "line of sight." Buildings or hills can interrupt the FM signal.

Suggestion: Reduce treble response.

Interference from another station: Although receiver circuits are among the most advanced type available, there are instances where a radio station can be interfered with by another station.

Suggestion: Select another station or switch to a cassette or CD.

Radio Reception - AM

Static Interference During Weather Disturbances: AM reception is sensitive to storm disturbances such as lightning.

Suggestion: Reduce treble response or select an FM station for weather related information.

Radio Data System (RDS)

The CD/MP3 audio systems are equipped with technology known as the Radio Data System (RDS). RDS is a system that sends data along with the audio of the FM station you are currently tuned to. RDS is a standard that defines how a FM broadcast station may send digital data along with the audio program. Think of it as a one way wireless modem, allowing the broadcaster to send information about the program to your receiver.

RDS Basic Information

In some cases, a radio station broadcasting incorrect information may cause the RDS features of the radio to appear to work improperly.

Displaying RDS Information

The RDS feature is always on. When tuned to a non-RDS station, the radio will display frequency information as you would normally expect. When tuned to an RDS station, the radio can operate as follows:

Viewing and Selecting RDS Information for Display

Press the RCL button once for less than 2 seconds when the radio displays the program service (PS) name and the frequency of the station will be displayed. Press the button again, and the program type (P-Type) will be displayed. Pressed again, and the program type (PTY) name will be displayed, if the broadcaster is broadcasting one. The PTY name is an eight-character name that the broadcaster may use to further identify the type of programming currently being broadcast. Should you decide that Frequency, P-Type or PTY name is more desirable to display when tuned to an RDS station than the PS name, press the RCL button until the desired information is displayed, then press and hold for more than 2 seconds. A beep should be heard and the radio will now display the selected information whenever tuned to an RDS broadcaster. The radio will display frequency for all non-RDS broadcast stations.

Using RDS Program Types to Tune Radio

Listed are several ways on how to tune your radio using RDS program types. The radio will now be configured to tune based on RDS data rather than frequency

Finding a RDS Station By Specific Program Type

1. Press the PROG TYPE or P-TYPE button, the radio will display the current P-Type to search for.
2. Press the CAT rocker button until the desired program type is shown in the display.
3. Press the SEEK button and the radio will now seek the first RDS Broadcaster of the selected P-Type.

If the radio cannot find the desired P-Type, the radio displays "NOT FOUND" and will return to the last station you were listening to.

Using the INFO Feature

When the INFO icon appears in the radio display, a new text message is available for viewing. These text messages are from the RDS broadcaster to the listening public and may be general information such as artist and song title, call in phone numbers, etc.

How to View the INFO Message

Controlling the Radio

The user can activate RDS to control the radio by using data the received to:

Using the RDS Traffic Feature

Some RDS broadcasters may carry traffic information programming to inform you of current traffic conditions in your listening area and is indicated by the TA icon in the radio display. Not all FM broadcasters will use this RDS feature. RDS enables the broadcaster to get this information to you even when you are listening to a tape or compact disc. This feature can be enabled or disabled by the listener. Press the TRAF button to find a station that claims to carry traffic information. You may do this even when playing a cassette tape or compact disc. This action will operate in the background without interrupting the current playback. If the radio is not currently tuned to an RDS traffic station, the radio will immediately seek an RDS traffic station. If the radio finds an RDS traffic station, the "TA" icon will appear on the radio display, as will brackets around the [TA] icon. If the radio cannot find an RDS traffic station after searching through the entire FM band, the radio will display "NO TRAFFIC".

Traffic Interrupt Feature

Whenever the TA icon is displayed, the current FM station may also broadcast traffic announcements. Traffic announcements are reports of the current traffic conditions in the listening area of the tuned FM broadcasters.

Your radio can interrupt the playback of a compact disc by use of the traffic interrupt feature. The traffic interrupt feature is enabled when the TRAF icon is displayed.

If the broadcaster sends out a traffic announcement while you are listening to FM or in the playback mode, "TRAFFIC" will be displayed on the radio and the audio from the broadcaster will be heard. At the conclusion of the traffic announcement, the radio will return to the previous playback mode.

During the time the radio displays "TRAFFIC", you can adjust the volume of the traffic announcement. This will be the volume at which all future traffic announcements will be heard until the volume during another traffic announcement is adjusted.

You can also interrupt a traffic announcement interrupt by pressing the TRAF button.

During a national or local emergency, a special program type interrupt message "ALERT!" is displayed. This special announcement will cancel all other RDS features that are in progress, such as a traffic announcement.

RDS Clock TIme

Broadcasters can choose to send clock time information in the RDS data. This information can be used to update the clock time on the radio. RDS clock time is broadcasted once a minute. To set the clock using RDS clock data perform the following:

AM/FM Reception

Radio Signal

The radio signal is sent from a broadcast station and is then received by an antenna. The strength of the signal received depends on the following:

AM Reception

The AM band has a lower frequency range than the FM band. These longer wavelengths:

The AM frequencies have longer range due to the ground wave. The ground wave follows the curvature of the earth and is affected by its conductivity. Greater conductivity equates to less signal loss, thus transmission over water is better than over land. The AM band has a range of 80-320 km (50-200 mi).

FM Reception

The shorter wavelengths of the higher frequency FM band:

Broadcasts in the FM band are limited to "line of sight" reception which is typically 40 km (25 mi). Even when out of a direct line of sight, the signal may be reflected into areas that would be in a "shadow" otherwise. Factors which affect the line of sight include:

XM Reception

XM satellite radio provides digital radio reception. The XM signal is broadcast from two satellites and, where necessary, terrestrial repeaters. The high power satellites allow the antenna to receive the XM signal even when foliage and other partial obstructions block the antennas view of the satellite. Terrestrial repeaters are used in dense urban areas. These repeaters will receive the satellite signal and re-broadcast them at much higher power levels in order to ensure reception in areas with densely packed tall buildings.

XM Satellite Radio

XM is a national satellite radio service that offers up to 100 coast to coast channels including music, news, sports, talk and children's programming. XM provides digital quality audio and text information, including song title and artist name. A service fee is required in order to receive the XM service. For more information, contact XM at www.xmradio.com or call 1-800-852-9696.

Digital Radio Receiver

The radio controls communicate with the digital radio receiver via the class 2 communication circuit. The digital radio receiver sends remote radio audio signals to the radio.

Viewing Messages

Press the DISP or RCL button while in XM mode to view various pieces of information related to the current song or channel. By pressing and releasing the DISP or RCL button, you may view four different categories of information: Artist Name/Feature, Song/Program Title, Channel Category, and other Additional Information that may be broadcast on that channel. Additional Information messages may not always be available. If an Additional Information message is being broadcast on the tuned channel, the INFO icon will appear on the display. Each of the four information types may have multiple pages of text. To reach a category, press and release the DISP or RCL button consecutively until the desired type is displayed. If there are multiple pages of text for the selected information type, the radio will automatically display all the pages for that type at a rate of approximately one page every three seconds before timing out and returning to the default display. You may override this feature by pressing the DISP or RCL button to review all of the pages at your own pace.
