The video screen is located in the overhead console. To
use the video screen, push forward on the release
latch and the screen will fold down. Adjust the screen's
position as desired. When the video screen is not in
use, push it up into its latched position.
The DVD player and display will continue to operate
when the screen is in either the up or the down position.
The video screen contains the infrared transmitters for
the wireless headphones and the infrared receiver
for the remote control. If the screen is in the closed
position, the infrared signals will not be available for the
operation of the headphones and the remote control.

Stereo RCA Jacks
The RCA jacks are located behind the video screen on
the front of the DVD console. The RCA jacks allow you to
connect audio and video from an auxiliary device such as
a camcorder or a video game unit to your RSE system
just as you would to a standard television. Standard RCA
cables are needed to connect the auxiliary device to the
RCA jacks. The yellow connector inputs video and the
red and white connectors input right and left stereo audio.
Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for proper
connection of your auxiliary device.
To use the auxiliary inputs on the RSE system, connect
an external auxiliary device to the color-coded RCA
jacks and turn both the auxiliary device and the
RSE system power on. If the RSE system had been
previously in the DVD player mode, you will need
to press the SRCE button on the faceplate or the remote
control to change to the auxiliary mode. Pressing the
SRCE button will toggle the RSE system between
the auxiliary device and the DVD player.
How to Change the Video Format when in
the Auxiliary Mode
The auxiliary input video format is preset to NTSC. In
some countries, the video format may be in PAL system.
To change the video format, perform the following:
1. Press the display menu button.
2. Press the navigation down arrow key to scroll down
to Video Format.
3. Press the enter button to select Video Format.
4. Press the navigation key to select the PAL video
format.
5. Press the enter button to accept the change.
Audio Output
Audio from the DVD player or auxiliary inputs may be
heard through the following possible sources:
·Wireless Headphones
·Vehicle Speakers
·Vehicle wired headphone jacks on the Rear Seat
Audio system (if equipped)
The RSE system will always transmit the audio signal
by infrared to the wireless headphones, if there is audio
available. See ªHeadphonesº previously for more
information.

Navigation/Radio SystemThe display screen is located in the center of the
instrument panel. There are ªhardº buttons and a touch
sensitive screen.

navigation radio system that includes digital sound
processing (DSP), Radio Data System (RDS) with
program ªtypeº selections (PTY) that will seek out the
kind of music you want to listen to and XMŸ Satellite
Radio Service capabilities (United States only). The
radio system can also communicate with your navigation
system to broadcast announcements on traffic,
weather and emergency alert communications. For
information on how to use this system, see the
