HUMMER H2 2007 Owners Manual

Navigation/Radio System
Your vehicle may have a navigation radio system.
The navigation system has built-in features
intended to minimize driver distraction. Technology
alone, no matter how advanced, can never
replace your own judgment. See the Navigation
System manual for some tips to help you
reduce distractions while driving.
Rear Seat Entertainment System
Your vehicle may 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
may be limited under extreme temperatures.
Using the RSE system during extreme
temperatures may 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 ve seconds then disappears.
VOL
0(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
your warranty. Keep the headphones stored
in a cool, dry place.
272

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:
1. Press down on the left earpiece and slide the
battery compartment panel down to expose
the battery compartment.
2. Replace the two AAA batteries in the
compartment. Make sure they are installed
correctly using the diagram on the inside
of the battery compartment.
3. 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:
1. Press the power button on the monitor to turn
the video screen on. Briey press the power
button again to toggle between monitor and
DVD control buttons. The appropriate toggle is
monitor. Main menu function icons display.
2. Plug the headphone into the corresponding
jack, located on the bottom left of the video
screen, next to the auxiliary jack.
3. 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.
273

Vehicle Speakers
Only one audio source can be heard through the
vehicle’s speakers at a time. The audio source
being used is specied 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 eight frequencies selected
on the FM Modulator portion of the system’s
remote control. See “FM Modulator Control” later
in this section.
To turn the RSE system audio output to the
vehicle’s speakers, on or off, press the power
button on the FM Modulator portion of the system’s
remote control. The audio from the RSE system
can be heard through the wireless/wired
headphones and the vehicle’s speakers at the
same time. The volume on the radio can
vary when switching between the radio, CD, DVD,
MP3, or an auxiliary device.
Video Screens
The video screens are located on the backside of
each head restraint.
