Using your audio system: some basics
The following instructions are for the rear passengers.
Please let the rear passengers read and follow the
instructions when the rear passengers use the rear seat
entertainment system.
This section describes some of the basic features of the rear
seat entertainment system. Some information may not pertain
to your system.
Your audio system adjusts to the optimum volume and tone
quality automatically. While the system is adjusting the audio
sound, the audio sound fades out and then fades in.
The rear seat entertainment system is designed for the rear
passengers to enjoy audio and DVD video separately from the
front audio system.
The rear seat entertainment system can be operated when the
ignition key is in the ªACCº or ªONº position.
The rear passengers can enjoy all modes (AM and FM radio,
cassette tape player, CD player with changer and DVD player)
on the rear seat entertainment system only if a cassette tape
and a CD are loaded in the front audio system. The rear seat entertainment system can play DVD video, audio
CD, video CD, CD text, dts±CD or DVD audio only when a disc
is loaded in the DVD player.
You can enjoy videos and sound when your personal audio
system is connected to the input terminal adapter on the rear
console box. For details, refer to the manufacturer's
instructions.
You can enjoy the rear seat entertainment system with
commercial headphone. See ªHeadphone input jacksº on
page 380 for details.
You can also enjoy the rear seat entertainment system with a
wireless headphone. The wireless headphone can be used
within rear seat. If the signal becomes weak, the headphone
will mute. For details, refer to the manufacturer's instructions.
With some wireless headphone generally available in the
market, it may be difficult to catch sound properly. Lexus
recommends the use of Lexus genuine wireless headphone.
You can purchase a wireless headphone at a Lexus dealer.
