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.
In severe or extreme weather conditions the RSE
system may or may not work until the temperature is
within the operating range. The operating range for the
RSE system is above−4°F (−20°C) or below
140°F (60°C). If the temperature of your vehicle is
outside of this range, heat or cool the vehicle until the
temperature is within the operating range of the
RSE system.
Headphones
The RSE system includes two sets of wireless
headphones. The headphones are used to listen to the
DVD radio or an auxiliary device connected to the
RCA jacks. The wireless headphones have an ON/OFF
switch and a volume control.
To use the headphones, turn the switch to ON. An
indicator light located 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 transmitters are located in the display above the
video screen. The headphones will shut off automatically
to save the battery power if the DVD system is shut
off or if the headphones are out of range of the
transmitters for more than three minutes. 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 headphones, use the
volume control located on the right side.
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.Battery Replacement
To change the batteries, do the following:
1. Slide open the battery door located on the left side
of the headphones.
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. Slide the battery door shut.
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 behind the video screen on
the overhead console. The RCA jacks allow audio or
video signals to be connected from an auxiliary device
such as a camcorder or a video game unit to the
RSE. Adapter connectors or cables may be required to
connect the auxiliary device to the RCA jacks. Refer
to the manufacturer’s instructions for proper usage.The RCA jacks are color coded to match typical home
entertainment system equipment. The yellow jack
(right) is for the video input. The white jack (middle) is
for the left audio input. The red jack (left) is for the right
audio input. The red connector must always be used
in order for the DVD system to recognize that an
external source is plugged in.
Power for auxiliary devices is not supplied by the
radio system.
To use the auxiliary function, connect a camcorder or a
video game unit to the RCA jacks and turn on the
auxiliary device. If you want to view a DVD, insert the
DVD into the DVD radio. The system will automatically
switch to DVD and start to play. To switch between
the auxiliary device and the DVD, press the AUX button
on the DVD player or the SRCE button on the remote
control. See “DVD Radio” and “Remote Control” later in
this section for more information.
