CD Messages
CHECK CD:If this message appears on the
display and/or the CD comes out, it could be for
one of the following reasons:
It is very hot. When the temperature returns to
normal, the CD should play.
You are driving on a very rough road.
When the road becomes smoother, the CD
should play.
The CD is dirty, scratched, wet, or
upside down.
The air is very humid. If so, wait about an
hour and try again.
There may have been a problem while
burning the CD.
The label may be caught in the CD player.
If the CD is not playing correctly, for any other
reason, try a known good CD.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error cannot
be corrected, contact your GM dealer. If the radio
displays an error message, write it down and
provide it to your GM dealer when reporting the
problem.
Listening to a DVD

Rear Seat Entertainment System
Your vehicle may have a DVD Rear Seat
Entertainment (RSE) system. The RSE system
includes a DVD player, a video display screen,
two sets of wireless headphones, and a remote
control.
Parental Control
This button is located behind the video screen.
Press this button while a DVD or CD is playing to
freeze the video and mute the audio. The video
screen will display Parental Control ON and the
power indicator light on the DVD player will ash. It
will also disable all other button operations from the
remote control and the DVD player, with the
exception of the eject button. Press this button
again to restore operation of the DVD player.
This button may also be used to turn the DVD
player power on and automatically resume play if
the ignition is in RUN, ACCESSORY, or if RAP
is active.
Before You Drive
The RSE system is for rear seat passengers only.
The driver cannot safely view the video screen
while driving and should not try to do so.
Headphones
The RSE system includes two sets of wireless
headphones.
Each set of headphones has an ON/OFF control.
An indicator light will illuminate on the headphones
when they are on. If the light does not illuminate,
the batteries may need to be replaced. See
“Battery Replacement” following for more
information.
Each set of headphones has a volume knob.
To adjust the volume, adjust this knob.
The transmitters are located below the video
display screen. The headphones will shut
off automatically if they lose the signal from the
system after about four minutes to save battery
power. The signal may be lost if the system
is turned off or if the headphones are out of range
of the transmitters.
334

Stereo RCA Jacks
The RCA jacks are located behind the video
screen. The RCA jacks allow audio and video
signals to be connected from an auxiliary device
such as a camcorder or a video game unit to
the RSE system. Standard RCA cables, not
included, are needed to connect the auxiliary
device to the RCA jacks. The yellow connector
inputs video and the red and white connectors
input right and left audio. Refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions for proper connection
of the auxiliary device.
To use the auxiliary inputs on the RSE system,
connect an external auxiliary device to the
color-coded RCA jacks and turn both the auxiliary
device and the RSE system power on. If the
RSE system had been previously in the DVD
player mode, pressing the SRCE button on
the faceplate or the remote control will switch the
RSE system between the auxiliary device and
the DVD player.
How to Change the Video Format when in
the Auxiliary Mode
The auxiliary input video format is preset to NTSC.
In some countries, the video format may be in
the PAL system. To change the video format,
perform the following:
1. Press the display menu button.
2. Press the down arrow button to highlight the
Video Format option.
3. Press the enter button to select Video Format.
4. Press the right or left arrow button to select
the desired video format.
5. Press the enter button to accept the change.

Seat Audio system (if equipped)
336

The RSE system will always transmit the audio
signal by infrared to the wireless headphones,
if there is audio available. See “Headphones”
previously for more information.
The RSE system is capable of outputting audio to
the vehicle speakers by using the radio. The
RSE system may be selected as an audio source
on the radio if the RSE system power is on.
Once the RSE system is selected as an audio
source on the radio, adjust the speaker volume on
the radio, if necessary. If the RSE system power
is not on, the RSE system will not be an available
source on the radio. Refer to the radio information
for the radio that your vehicle has for more
information.
The RSE system is capable of outputting audio to
the wired headphone jacks on the rear seat
audio system (if equipped). The RSE system may
be selected as an audio source on the rear
