Wireless Headphones: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 GMC Terrain and 2010 Chevrolet Equinox. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Wireless headphones allow for rear seat passengers to use the display DVD without disturbing the listening of front seat passengers. The wireless headphones receive audio signals from the infrared (IR) transmitter on the left Seatback display. This transmission is line of sight only, so audio quality will be degraded if anything blocks the transmitter signal from reaching the headphones, or if the headphones are placed in the front of the vehicle. The infrared transmitter located on the left Seatback display will have red LEDs dimly illuminated when activated.

The wireless headphones include 2 channels. This allows rear seat passengers to utilize both screens individually without disturbing one another. On some wireless headphone models, you will see a red LED illuminated when the headphone is turned ON.

Each set of headphones has a rotary volume control. To adjust the volume, adjust this control. The headphones may automatically turn OFF if they lose the infrared signal from the system for approximately 4 minutes in order to preserve their battery power. The signal may be lost if the system is turned off or if the headphones are out of range of the infrared signal transmitters that are located near the video display screen.
