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. The RSE
system will play DVD, CD, and MP3 discs. You can also
connect an auxiliary device to the RSE system to play
games, watch videos, look at pictures, etc.
Normal operation may be limited under extremely low or
high temperatures, in order to protect the system
from damage. Operate the RSE system under normal or
comfortable cabin temperature ranges.

Headphones
Wireless Headphones
The RSE system may include two sets of wireless
headphones (batteries are not included).
The wireless headphones have an ON/OFF switch, a
channel select switch, and a volume control. To use the
headphones, turn the switch to ON. 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. Switch the headphones to OFF when not
in use.
The headphones will shut off automatically to save the
battery power if the RSE system is shut off or if the
headphones are out of range of the transmitters for more
than three minutes. The transmitters are located next
to the DVD faceplate. If you move too far forward or step
out of the vehicle, the headphones will lose the audio
signal.
DVD and auxiliary audio will always be found on
channel (CHA or CH1) of the wireless headphones.
RSA audio is dedicated to CHB or CH2 of the wireless
headphones.
To adjust the volume on the wireless 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.
If there is a decreased audio signal during CD, MP3, 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.
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. Tighten the screw on the battery 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.

RSE. 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.
