Using RDS
Your audio system is equipped with a Radio Data
System (RDS). RDS features are available for use only
on FM stations that broadcast RDS information.
Using this system, the radio can do the following:
·Seek to stations broadcasting the selected type of
programming,
·receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies,
·display messages from radio stations, and
·seek to stations with traffic announcements.
This system relies upon receiving speci®c information
from these stations and will only work when the
information is available. In rare cases, a radio station
may broadcast incorrect information that will cause
the radio features to work improperly. If this happens,
contact the radio station.
While you are tuned to an RDS station, the station
name or the call letters will appear on the display instead
of the frequency. RDS stations may also provide the
time of day, a program type (PTY) for current
programming and the name of the program being
broadcast.
Finding a PTY Station
To select and ®nd a desired PTY perform the following:
1. Press the P-TYPE button. P-TYPE and the last
selected PTY will be displayed on the screen.
2. Select a category by turning the P-TYPE knob.
3. Once the desired category is displayed, press either
SEEK arrow to select the category and take you to
the category's ®rst station.
4. If you want to go to another station within that
category and the category is displayed, press
either SEEK arrow once. If the category is not
displayed, press either SEEK arrow twice to display
the category and then to go to another station.
5. If PTY times out and is no longer on the display, go
back to Step 1.
If both P-TYPE and TRAF are on, the radio will search
for stations with the selected PTY and traffic
announcements.
To use the PTY interrupt feature, press and hold the
P-TYPE button until you hear a beep on the PTY
you want to interrupt with. When selected, an asterisk
will appear beside that PTY on the display. You
may select multiple interrupts if desired. When you are
listening to a compact disc, the last selected RDS
station will interrupt play if that selected program type
format is broadcast.

If the system is shut off, or if the headphones are out of
range of the IR transmitters below the overhead RSE
control panel for more than three minutes, the
headphones will shut off automatically to save the
batteries. If you move too far forward or step out of the
vehicle, the headphones will cut out.
To adjust the volume on the headphones, use the
volume control.
Notice:Do not store the headphones in heat or
direct sunlight. This could damage the headphones
and repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
Keep the headphones stored in a cool, dry place.
Battery Replacement
To change the batteries, do the following:
1. Loosen the screw on the battery compartment door
located on the left side of the headphones.
2. Replace the two AAA batteries in the compartment.
Make sure that they are installed correctly.
3. Tighten the screws to close the compartment door.
If the headphones are to be stored for a long period
of time, remove the batteries and keep them in a cool,
dry place.
Stereo RCA Jacks
The RCA jacks and the mini-headphone jacks are
located behind the video screen on the overhead
console. The RCA jacks allow you to hook up an
auxiliary device such as a camcorder or a video game
unit. The yellow RCA jack is used for video and the
red and white RCA jacks are used for audio. You may
require adapter connectors or cables to connect
your auxiliary device to the RCA jacks. Refer to the
manufacturer's instructions for proper usage. The
mini-headphone jacks allow you to hook up two
customer provided wired headphones.
To use the auxiliary audio and video inputs on the RSE,
connect an external auxiliary device such as a
camcorder to the RCA jacks and turn on both the
auxiliary device power and the power on the front of the
RSE player. If a disc is not present in the player, the
auxiliary signal will immediately be displayed on
the RSE. If a disc is present when the RSE power is
turned on, the player will automatically begin playing the
disc and the user will need to press the AUX button
on the remote control to display and/or hear the auxiliary
input signals. Each press of the AUX button on the
remote control will switch the system between disc and
auxiliary input. The wired headphone volume control
will only operate when the DVD player power is turned
on and it controls both wired headphone jacks at
the same time. See
