Your vehicle might have a DVD Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) system. The RSE
system includes two head restraint video display screens with the DVD player(s), located
behind each video screen as one unit, auxiliary inputs, two sets of wireless headphones,
and a remote control.
Parental Control
Parental control can be maintained through the DVD rating settings. This function
restricts movie viewing for children of appropriate age levels. See "Rating"
under Displaying DVD Player Default Settings, later in this section.
Before You Drive
The RSE system plays DVD, CD, and MP3 discs. You can also connect an auxiliary
device to the RSE system to play games, watch videos, view photos, etc.
Notice: Normal operation for the RSE system could be limited under extreme temperatures. Using
the RSE system during extreme temperatures can cause damage to the system.
Wait until the inside of the vehicle is at a safe temperature range of 32°-140°F
(0°-60°C) before using the system.
Headphones
Wireless Headphones
The RSE system might include two sets of wireless headphones. Each headphone
has an L marked on the left-side, for the left ear and an R marked on the right-side,
for the right ear. The L and R marks are to show how the headphones should be worn.
OFF/ON (Power): The wireless headphones have an OFF/ON power
switch located on the earpiece. To use the headphones, turn the switch to ON. An indicator
light on the earpiece of the headphones illuminates. If the light does not illuminate,
the batteries might need to be replaced. See "Battery Replacement" later
in this section. Switch the headphones to OFF when not in use.
The headphones
shut off automatically to save the battery power if the RSE system is shut off or
if the headphones are out of range of the transmitter window for more than three minutes.
The transmitter window is located on the bottom edge of the monitor. If you move too
far forward or step out of the vehicle, the headphones could lose the audio signal.
Channel Selector: The wireless headphones have a channel selector
switch located on the right earpiece. The channel selector switches between Channel
A and Channel B. Since each monitor can function as two independent sources through
auxiliary input, it is necessary to transmit audio signals on separate channels. The
driver's side monitor is designated as Channel A, and the passenger's side as Channel
B. The Headphone channel selector switch must be set to the correct channel according
to the monitor being viewed. When the head restraint monitor is initially turned on,
the message, "To listen to this monitor tune your headphones to channel A (or
B)" displays for five seconds then disappears.
VOL
(Volume): To adjust the volume
on the wireless headphones, use the volume control.
Notice: Do not store the headphones in heat or direct sunlight.
This could damage the headphones and repairs will not be covered by the
warranty. Storage in extreme cold can weaken the batteries. Keep the headphones stored
in a cool, dry place.
If there is a decreased audio signal during CD, MP3, or DVD play, there could
be a soft hissing noise through the speakers and/or headphones. If the hissing sound
in the wireless headphones seem excessive, make sure the headphone batteries are fully
charged. A small amount of hissing is normal.
Battery Replacement
To change the batteries, do the following:
- Press down on the left earpiece and slide the battery compartment panel
down to expose the battery compartment.
- Replace the batteries in the compartment. Make sure they are installed
correctly using the diagram on the inside of the battery compartment.
- Slide the battery compartment panel back and then down until the panel
closes into the headphone ear piece.
If the headphones are to be stored for a long period of time, remove the batteries,
and keep them in a cool, dry place.
Wired Headphones
There is a headphone jack on the left lower side of the video screen. Use this
jack with universal wired headphones. To adjust the volume, do the following:
- Press the power button on the monitor to turn the video screen on. Briefly
press the power button again to toggle between monitor and DVD control buttons. The
appropriate toggle is monitor. Main menu function icons display.
- Plug the headphone into the corresponding jack, located on the bottom
left of the video screen, next to the auxiliary jack.
- Press the soft key buttons on the monitor, located under the up and down
arrow icons, to increase or to decrease the volume.
Audio Output
Audio from the DVD player or auxiliary devices can be heard through the vehicle
speakers or the wireless/wired headphones. The FM Modulator control has to be set
to one of eight frequencies in order for these devices to be heard through the vehicle's
speakers. See "FM Modulator Control" later in this section.
Vehicle Speakers
Only one audio source can be heard through the vehicle's speakers at a time.
The audio source being used is specified by the A/V (audio/video) source selected
on the driver's side head restraint monitor.
The RSE system or an auxiliary device can be heard through all of the vehicle’s
speakers when a DVD or auxiliary device is playing and the radio is tuned to one of

CB radios, Global Position Systems (GPS)*, two-way radios, mobile fax, or walkie talkies.
It might be necessary to turn off the DVD player while operating one of these
devices in or near the vehicle.
*Excludes the OnStar® System.
Cleaning the Video Screens
The video display screens are made of a specially coated glass and can be scratched
or damaged by abrasive products, solvents, or ammonia-based window cleaners. Occasionally
take a soft, lint-free, cotton cloth that has been slightly dampened with warm water
and wrung out completely. Dry the screens by wiping with a clean dry cotton cloth.
Cleaning the Components
Use care when directly touching or cleaning the components such as the DVD player
and the discs that are used for your viewing entertainment, as damage could result.
