Cadillac Escalade: Playing a DVD
DVD video does not display on the navigation screen unless the vehicle is in P (Park). It will operate on the rear seat entertainment screens while the vehicle is moving. The Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) video screen starts play of the DVD when a DVD video has been inserted into the CD/DVD slot. The DVD player can be controlled by the buttons on the navigation system, the Rear Seat Audio (RSA) system, and the remote control. The DVD player can also be used for the rear seat passengers with the radio off. The rear seat passengers can power on the video screen and use the remote control to navigate the disc. See the Rear Seat Infotainment user guide for more information.
The DVD player is only compatible with DVDs of the appropriate region code that is printed on the jacket of most DVDs.
The CD/DVD slot is compatible with most audio CDs, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-Video, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW media along with MP3 and WMA formats.
If an error appears on the display, see “CD/DVD Messages” in this section.
Once a DVD starts to play, the menu options and cursor screen buttons will automatically appear. To display the menu Options screen button while a DVD is playing, touch anywhere on the screen.
There are three ways to play a DVD:
- Once a DVD is inserted, the system will automatically start play of the DVD.
- If you are on a map screen, press the DVD screen button.
- Press AUDIO, then press the DVD screen button.
When a DVD is loaded, the rear seat passengers can power on the RSE video screen and use the remote control to navigate through the DVD.

1. Press to turn the system on and off.
2. Turn the knob to increase or decrease the volume of the audio system.
3. Press and hold for more than two seconds to turn off the navigation system, RSE video screen, and RSA. If the vehicle has not been tuned off, the RSE and the RSA can be turned back on by pressing this knob and will continue play of the last active source.
