Before You Drive
The RSE is designed for rear seat passengers only.
The driver cannot safely view the video screen
while driving and should not try to do so.
Your DVD system is designed to be inoperable when
the vehicle is exposed to extremely low or high
temperatures, in order to protect your system from
damage. Operate your DVD system under normal or
comfortable cabin temperature ranges.
Headphones
The entertainment system includes two wireless
headphones.
The wireless headphones have an ON/OFF button,
and a volume control. To use the headphones press the
ON/OFF button. An indicator light on the headphones
will illuminate. If the light does not illuminate, the
batteries may need to be replaced. See “Battery
Replacement” later in this section for more information.
Press the button to turn the headphones OFF when
not in use.If the RSE system is shut off, or if the headphones are
out of range of the transmitters, located at the top of
the DVD player, for more than three minutes, the
headphones will shut off automatically to save the
battery power. If you move too far forward or step out of
the vehicle, the headphones will lose the audio signal.
To adjust the volume on the wireless headphones,
use the volume control.
Make sure that the headphones are worn correctly,
left to right, to ensure the signal is received properly.
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.
If there is a decreased audio signal during CD or
DVD play, you may hear a low “hissing” noise through
the speakers and/or headphones. If the hissing sound
in the wireless headphones seems excessive, make
sure that the headphone batteries are fully charged.
Some amount of hissing is normal.

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 headphone earpiece.
2. Replace the two AAA batteries in the compartment.
Make sure that they are installed correctly using the
diagram on the inside of the battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery compartment door and tighten
the screw.
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 are located on the DVD faceplate on the
oor console. The RCA jacks allow you to connect audio
and video signals from an auxiliary device such as a
camcorder or a video game unit to your RSE just as you
would to a standard television. The yellow RCA jack is
used for video, the red RCA jack for right audio, and the
white RCA jack for left audio inputs. The system requires
standard RCA cables (not included) to connect your
auxiliary device to the RCA jacks. Refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions for proper usage.To use the auxiliary audio and video inputs on the
entertainment system, 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 system. Press the play and source
buttons at the same time or the AUX button on the
remote control to switch to the auxiliary device.
See “DVD Player”, and “Remote Control” later in this
section for more information.
Audio Speakers
Audio from the DVD player or auxiliary devices can
be heard through the following possible sources:
Wireless Headphones
Vehicle’s Speakers
Wired Headphones (not included)
Only one audio source can be heard through the
vehicles speakers at a time.
You can listen to the entertainment system or an
auxiliary device through all of the vehicles speakers
when the following occurs:
The RSE system is off
a DVD or auxiliary device is playing
the front audio system is on and the SRCE button
is pressed to enable the rear seat entertainment
system
3-98

The front audio system will display the headphone icon
when the entertainment system is on and the headphone
icon will disappear from the display when it is off.
To turn the vehicles rear speakers on and off, press the
power button on the RSE or on the remote control.
When the rear speakers are off, the audio from the
entertainment system can be heard through both the
wireless headphones and the vehicles front speakers
at the same time.
You can listen to the entertainment system through the
wired headphones (not included) on the RSE system
when the following occurs:
The RSE system is on
a DVD or auxiliary device is playing
The volume on the audio system may vary when
switching between a radio station, CD, DVD, cassette,
or auxiliary device.
If there is a decreased audio signal during CD or
DVD play, you may hear a low “hissing” noise through
the speakers and/or headphones. If the hissing sound
in the wireless headphones seems excessive, make
sure that the headphone batteries are fully charged.
Some amount of hissing is normal.
Video Screen
The video screen is located on the back of the oor
console. Open the video screen by rotating the screen
up and adjust its position as desired.
The video screen may not be able to be rotated up if
the rear seat is too far forward. See “Rear Sliding Seat
(MAXX Only)” underRear Seat Operation on page 1-7
for more information.
When the video screen is not in use, push it down into
its stored position.
The DVD player and display will continue to operate
when the video screen is in either the up or down
positions.
The transmitters from the wireless headphones and the
receiver for the remote control are behind the window
on the RSE system. If the screen is in the closed
position, the signals will not be available for the
operation of the headphones or the remote control.
Notice:Directly touching the video screen may
damage it. Do not touch the screen. SeeCleaning the
Video Screen on page 3-118for more information.

Remote Control
To use the remote control, aim it at the transmitter
window on the DVD player and press the desired button.
Direct sunlight or very bright light may affect the
ability of the entertainment system to receive signals
from the remote control. Be sure the remote control’s
batteries are not weak or discharged, as this will
also affect the function of the remote control. Objects
blocking the line of sight will affect the function of
the remote control.
Notice:Do not store the remote control in heat or
direct sunlight. This could damage the remote
control and it would not be covered by your warranty.
Keep the remote control stored in the rear seat
armrest when not in use.

(Without Entertainment System)
This feature allows rear seat passengers to listen to
and control any of the music sources: radio and CDs.
However, the rear seat passengers can only control the
music sources that the front seat passengers are not
listening to. For example, rear seat passengers may
listen to a CD through headphones, while the driver
listens to the radio through the front speakers. The rear
seat passengers have control of the volume for each set
of headphones. Be aware that the front seat audio
controls always have priority over the RSA controls.
If the front seat passengers switch the source for the
main radio to a remote source, the RSA will play the
same remote source. The rear speakers will be muted
when the RSA power is turned on. You may operate the
RSA functions even when the main radio is off.
Primary Radio Controls
The following function is controlled by the knob on the
main radio:
PWR (Power):Press this knob twice to turn RSA off.
