2009 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE remote control

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. SeeRadio(s) on page 3-75
for more information on the vehicle’s
audio/DVD 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−4°F (−20°C)
or below 140°F (60°C). 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
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.

To change the batteries on the
headphones:
1. Turn the screw 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

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.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 (not supplied) might 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(s) on page 3-75
for more information.
