2008 HUMMER H2 CD player

Order of Play
Tracks recorded to the CD-R or CD-RW are played in
the following order:
Play begins from the rst track in the rst playlist
and continues sequentially through all tracks in
each playlist. When the last track of the last playlist
has played, play continues from the rst track of
the rst playlist.
Play begins from the rst track in the rst folder and
continues sequentially through all tracks in each
folder. When the last track of the last folder has
played, play continues from the rst track of the
rst folder.
When play enters a new folder, the display does
not automatically show the new folder name unless you
have chosen the folder mode as the default display.
The new track name displays.
File System and Naming
The song name that is displayed is the song name that is
contained in the ID3 tag. If the song name is not present
in the ID3 tag, then the radio displays the le name
without the extension (such as .mp3) as the track name.
Track names longer than 32 characters or four pages
are shortened. Parts of words on the last page of
text and the extension of the lename displays.
Preprogrammed Playlists
Preprogrammed playlists that were created using
WinAmp™, MusicMatch™, or Real Jukebox™ software
can be accessed, however, they cannot be edited
using the radio. These playlists are treated as special
folders containing compressed audio song les.
Playing an MP3/WMA (In Either the DVD or
CD Slot)
Insert a CD-R or CD-RW partway into either the top or
bottom slot, label side up. The player pulls it in, and
the CD-R or CD-RW should begin playing.
Depending on the format of the disc, a softkey menu
appears and allows navigation of the disc. The menu
reads left to right as RDM (Randomize song play order),
a Folder icon with left and right arrows (to move up or
down through available folders), a PL tag if the disc has a
Playlist available, and a Music Navigator tag. If a Playlist
tag is shown, toggling this key brings up a Folder softkey
only or the menu as previously described.
If you turn off the ignition or radio with a CD-R or
CD-RW in the player it stays in the player. When you
turn on the ignition or radio, the CD-R starts to play
where it stopped, if it was the last selected audio source.
As each new track starts to play, the track number
and song title displays.

Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE)
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(s) (MP3)
on page 3-75for 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 start 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.
The radio can be turned back on with a single press
of the power button, but the RSE system will remain
under Parental Control.
To turn Parental Control off, press and hold the radio
power button for more than two seconds. The RSE
returns from where it was previously left and the
padlock icon disappears from the radio display.
Parental Control can also be turned off by inserting
or ejecting any disc, pressing the play icon on the radio
DVD display menu, or changing an ignition position.

Headphones
The RSE includes two 2-channel wireless headphones
that are dedicated to this system. Channel 1 is dedicated
to the DVD player, while Channel 2 is dedicated to RSA
selections. These headphones can be used to listen to
the radio, CDs, DVDs, MP3s, DVDAs, 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 comes on but, there is intermittent soundand/or static on the headphones, or if the indicator
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.
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 turn off after four hours
of continuous use.
To adjust the volume on the headphones, use the
volume control located on the right side.
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.
Storage in extreme cold can weaken the batteries.
Keep the headphones stored in a cool, dry place.

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.
