and repairs will not be covered by your warranty.
Keep the headphones stored in a cool, dry place.
If your vehicle is the MAXX, your vehicle may have
a rear seat storage compartment. Store the headphones
and the remote control in this compartment when not
in use.
If there is a decreased audio signal during CD or DVD
play, there may be 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.

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 audio and video
signals to be connected from an auxiliary device such as
a camcorder or a video game unit to the RSE system.
The yellow RCA jack is used for video inputs, the
red RCA jack for right audio inputs, and the white RCA
jack for left audio inputs. The system requires
standard RCA cables, not included, to connect the
auxiliary device to the RCA jacks. Refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions for proper usage.
To use the auxiliary audio and video inputs, 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
