GMC ACADIA 2007 Owner's 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
works with the vehicle’s audio system. The
DVD player is part of the front radio. The RSE
system includes a radio with a DVD player, a video
display screen, audio/video jacks, two wireless
headphones, and a remote control. SeeRadio with
CD and DVD on page 278for more information
on the vehicle’s audio/DVD system.
Before You Drive
The RSE is designed for rear seat passengers
only. The driver cannot safely view the video
screen while driving and should not try to do so.
In severe or extreme weather conditions the
RSE system might not work until the temperature
is within the operating range. The operating
range for the RSE system is above−4°F (−20°C)
or below 140°F (60°C). If the temperature of
your vehicle is outside of this range, heat or cool
the vehicle until the temperature is within the
operating range of the RSE system.
Parental Control
The RSE system may have a Parental Control
feature, depending on which radio you have.
To enable Parental Control, press and hold the
radio power button for more than two seconds to
stop all system features such as: radio, video
screen, RSA, DVD and/or CD. While Parental
Control is on, a padlock icon displays.
When the radio is turned back on, Parental
Control is unlocked.
311

Headphones
The RSE includes two 2-channel wireless
headphones that are dedicated to this system.
These headphones are used to listen to media
such as CDs, DVDs, MP3s, DVDAs, radio,
any auxiliary source connected to A/V jacks,
or the auxiliary input jack, if your vehicle has
this feature. The wireless headphones have
an On/Off button, channel 1/2 switch, and a
volume control.Push the power button to turn on the headphones.
An indicator light located on the headphones comes
on. If the light does not come on, the batteries might
need to be replaced. See “Battery Replacement”
later in this section for more information. Switch the
headphones to Off when not in use. Channel 1 is
dedicated to the video screen, while Channel 2 is
dedicated to RSA selections.
Infrared transmitters are located at the rear of the
RSE overhead console. The headphones shut off
automatically to save the battery power if the RSE
system and RSA are shut off or if the headphones
are out of range of the transmitters for more than
three minutes. If you move too far forward or step
out of the vehicle, the headphones lose the audio
signal.
The headphones automatically turns off after
four hours of continuous use.
To adjust the volume on the headphones, use
the volume control located on the right side.
312

For optimal audio performance, the headphones
must be worn correctly. The symbol L (Left)
appears on the upper left side, above the ear pad
and should be positioned on the left ear. The
symbol R (Right) appears on the upper right side,
above the ear pad and should be positioned on
the right ear.
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.
If the foam ear pads attached to the headphones
become worn or damaged, the pads can be
replaced separately from the headphone set
through your dealer/retailer for more information.
Headphones should be stored in the front oor
console and not in the front seat back pocket.
Headphone damage can occur when the second
row seats are folded forward.Battery Replacement
To change the batteries on the headphones,
do the following:
1. Turn the screw with a coin or screw driver to
loosen the battery door located on the left
side of the headphones. Slide the battery
door open.
2. Replace the two batteries in the compartment.
Make sure that they are installed correctly,
using the diagram on the inside of the battery
compartment.
3. Replace the battery door and tighten the
door screw.
If the headphones are to be stored for a long
period of time, remove the batteries and keep
them in a cool, dry place.
313

Audio/Video (A/V) Jacks
The A/V jacks located on the rear of the oor
console, allow audio or video signals to be
connected from an auxiliary device such as a
camcorder or a video game unit to the RSE
system. Adapter connectors or cables may be
required to connect the auxiliary device to the
A/V jacks. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions
for proper usage.The A/V jacks are color coded to match typical
home entertainment system equipment. The yellow
jack (A) is for the video input. The white jack (B)
is for the left audio input. The red jack (C) is for
the right audio input.
Power for auxiliary devices is not supplied by the
radio system.
To use the auxiliary inputs of the RSE system,
connect an external auxiliary device to the
color-coded A/V jacks and turn both the auxiliary
device and the video screen power on. If the video
screen is in the DVD player mode, pressing the
AUX (auxiliary) button on the remote control
switches the video screen from the DVD player
mode to the auxiliary device. The radio can listen
to the audio of the connected auxiliary device
by sourcing to auxiliary. SeeRadio with CD and
DVD on page 278for more information.
