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.
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 a DVD player, two head restraint video
display screens, 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.

SELECT:Press this button on the FM Modulator
control to match the frequency selected on the radio.
POWER:Press this button to turn the FM Modulator
control on or off.The FM Modulator is located on the center console,
next to the DVD player. It allows the rear seat
entertainment audio program selected on the driver’s
side monitor to be reproduced over the vehicle’s sound
system by tuning FM radio to one of eight frequencies.
These frequencies are listed on the FM Modulator
control faceplate.
To use the FM Modulator, follow the instructions below:
1. Select one of these radio frequencies not currently
being used by a local FM station to prevent
interference.
2. Press the SELECT button on the FM Modulator
control to match the frequency selected on the
radio. DVD audio will then be heard through
the vehicle’s sound system.
3. To adjust the volume and tone preferences, use the
vehicle’s radio controls. Depending on your vehicle’s
radio system, SeeRadio with Cassette and CD
on page 3-63orRadio with Six-Disc CD on
page 3-76in this manual for more information.
The FM Modulator should be powered off when listening
to normal radio broadcasts for best reception
performance.

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
may result. SeeCare of the CD and DVD Player
on page 3-113andCare of Your CDs and DVDs on
page 3-113in this manual for more information.
Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
This feature allows rear seat passengers to listen to any
of the sources: radio, cassette tapes, or CDs. However,
the rear seat passengers can only control the sources
that the front seat passengers are not listening to.
For example, rear seat passengers may listen to and
control cassette tapes or CDs through the headphones
while the driver listens to the radio through the front
speakers. The rear seat passengers have control of the
volume for each set of headphones.The front seat audio controls always have priority over
the RSA controls. If the front seat passengers switch the
source for the main radio to a remote source, the RSA will
not be able to control the source. You can operate the
rear seat audio when the main radio is off.P(Power):Press this button to turn the system on or
off. The rear speakers will be muted when the power
is turned on unless your vehicle is equipped with
the Bose
®audio system.
u(Volume):Turn this knob to increase or to decrease
the volume. The left knob controls the left headphones
and the right knob controls the right headphones.
