Video Entertainment System Description and Operation: Headphones

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Pontiac Montana, 2003 Oldsmobile Silhouette, and 2003 Chevrolet Venture. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The entertainment system includes four cordless headphones. The headphones have an ON/OFF switch, a channel A/B selector switch and a volume control. To use the headphones turn the switch to ON. An indicator light on the right side indicates that the battery is good. The DVD player and AUX input device are available through headphone channels A and B as long as no other audio source is playing. The radio, cassette tape player and CD player are only available through headphone channel B when RSA is turned on.

The headphones will only work when they are in the RSA system line of sight. If you move too far forward or step out of the vehicle, the headphones will cut out. If the headphones are out of the line of sight or if there is no signal emitted by the RSA for more than three minutes, the headphones will shut off. Be sure the headphone batteries are not discharged, as this will reduce performance. Objects blocking the infrared beam between the overhead entertainment console and the headphones will also reduce or eliminate performance. Keep the headphones out of direct sunlight and away from heat. The headphone battery compartment is on the left side of the headphone. To access the batteries, simply slide open the battery door. Each headphone uses two AAA dry cell batteries. Make sure that the batteries are installed correctly. The positive (+) and negative (-) symbols on the batteries must match the symbols inside the battery compartment.

If the headphones are to be stored for a long period of time, remove the batteries and store them in a cool dry place to prevent damage from leaking batteries.
