Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
This feature allows rear seat passengers to listen to any
of the sources: radio, CDs, or DVDs. However, the
rear seat passengers can only control the sources that
the front seat passengers are not listening to. For
example, rear seat passengers may listen to and control
CDs or DVDs through the 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.
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 not be able to control the source.
You can operate the rear seat audio when the main
radio is off.
P(Power):Press this button to turn the system
on or off. The rear speakers will be muted when the
power is turned on unless your vehicle is equipped
with the Bose
®audio system.
u(Volume):Turn this knob to increase or to
decrease the volume. The left knob controls the
left headphones and the right knob controls the
right headphones.
SRC (Source):Press this button to select a source:
radio, CDs, or DVDs.
