the vehicle serviced, check with
your dealer. XM Radio ID:
If tuned to channel 0,
this message alternates with the
XM™ Radio 8 digit radio ID label.
This label is needed to activate the
service.

received when tuned to channel 0,
there could be a receiver fault.
Consult with your dealer.
Check XM Receivr: If this
message does not clear within a
short period of time, the receiver
could have a fault. Consult with
your dealer.
XM Not Available: If this message
does not clear within a short period
of time, the receiver could have a
fault. Consult with your dealer.Radio Reception
Frequency interference and static
can occur during normal radio
reception if items such as cell phone
chargers, vehicle convenience
accessories, and external electronic
devices are plugged into the
accessory power outlet. If there is
interference or static, unplug the
item from the accessory power
outlet.
FM
FM signals only reach about 16 to
65 km (10 to 40 mi). Although the
radio has a built-in electronic circuit
that automatically works to reduce
interference, some static can occur,
especially around tall buildings or
hills, causing the sound to fade in
and out.

Black plate (13,1)GMC Acadia/Acadia Denali Owner Manual - 2011
Infotainment System 7-13
AM
The range for most AM stations is
greater than for FM, especially at
night. The longer range can cause
station frequencies to interfere
with each other. For better radio
reception, most AM radio stations
boost the power levels during the
day, and then reduce these levels
during the night. Static can also
occur when things like storms and
power lines interfere with radio
reception. When this happens, try
reducing the treble on the radio.
XM™Satellite Radio Service
XM Satellite Radio Service
gives digital radio reception from
coast to coast in the 48 contiguous
United States, and in Canada. Just as with FM, tall buildings or
hills can interfere with satellite radio
signals, causing the sound to fade
in and out. In addition, traveling
or standing under heavy foliage,
bridges, garages, or tunnels may
cause loss of the XM signal for a
period of time.
Cellular Phone Usage
Cellular phone usage may cause
interference with the vehicle's
radio. This interference may occur
when making or receiving phone
calls, charging the phone's battery,
or simply having the phone on.
This interference can cause an
increased level of static while
listening to the radio. If static is
received while listening to the
radio, unplug the cellular phone
and turn it off.
Multi-Band Antenna
The multi-band antenna is located
on the roof of the vehicle. This type
of antenna is used with the AM/FM
radio, as well as OnStar
®and the
XM™ Satellite Radio Service
System, if the vehicle has these
features. Keep this antenna clear
of snow and ice build up for clear
radio reception. If the vehicle has
a sunroof, the performance of the
radio system may be affected if the
sunroof is open. Loading items onto
the roof of the vehicle can interfere
with the performance of the radio
system and, if the vehicle has this
feature, OnStar
®. Make sure the
multi-band antenna is not
obstructed.

Rear Seat
Infotainment
Rear Seat Entertainment
(RSE) System
The 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. See Operation on page 7‑2
for more information on the vehicle's
infotainment system.

7-40 Infotainment System
Before Driving
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 or
might not work until the temperature
is within the operating range. The
operating range for the RSE system
is above−20°C (−4°F) or below
60°C (140°F). If the temperature of
the 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 the radio. 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,
Qdisplays.
When the radio is turned back on,
Parental Control is unlocked.
Headphones
A. Battery cover
B. Channel 1 or 2 switch
C. Power button
D. Volume control
E. Power indicator light

Black plate (41,1)GMC Acadia/Acadia Denali Owner Manual - 2011
Infotainment System 7-41
The RSE includes two 2-channel
wireless headphones that are
dedicated to this system. Channel 1
is dedicated to the video screen,
while Channel 2 is dedicated to
RSA selections. These headphones
are used to listen to media such
as CDs, DVDs, MP3/WMAs,
DVD-As, radio, any auxiliary
source connected to A/V jacks,
or the auxiliary input jack, if the
vehicle has this feature. The
wireless headphones have an
On/Off button, channel 1 or 2
switch, and a volume control.
Switch the headphones to Off
when not in use.
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. Intermittent sound or
static on the headphones can also
be an indication of weak batteries.
See“Battery Replacement” later in
this section for more information. To adjust the volume on the
headphones, use the volume
control located on the right side.
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. Moving
too far forward or stepping out of the
vehicle, can cause the headphones
to lose the audio signal.
For optimal audio performance, the
headphones must be worn correctly.
Headphones should be worn with
the headband over the top of the
head for best audio reception.
The symbol L (Left) appears on
the outside bottom edge of the ear
cup and should be positioned on
the left ear. The symbol R (Right)
appears on the outside bottom
edge of the ear cup 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 the warranty.
Storage in extreme cold can
weaken the batteries. 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.
To purchase replacement ear pads,
call 1‐888‐293‐3332, then prompt
zero (0), or contact your dealer.
Headphones should be stored in
the front floor console and not in the
front seat back pocket. Headphone
damage can occur when the second
row seats are folded forward.

A. Yellow: Video Input
B. White: Left Audio Input
C. Red: Right Audio Input
The A/V jacks are color coded to
match typical home entertainment
system equipment.
The A/V jacks, located on the rear
of the floor 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 (not supplied)
might be required to connect the
auxiliary device to the A/V jacks.
Refer to the manufacturer
’s
instructions for proper usage.
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. See Auxiliary Devices on
page 7‑37 for more information.
