CD Messages
CHECK DISC:If this message appears on the display
and/or the CD comes out, it could be for one of the
following reasons:
It is very hot. When the temperature returns to
normal, the CD should play.
You are driving on a very rough road. When the
road becomes smoother, the CD should play.
The CD is dirty, scratched, wet, or upside down.
The air is very humid. If so, wait about an hour
and try again.
There may have been a problem while burning
the CD.
The label may be caught in the CD player.
If the CD is not playing correctly, for any other reason,
try a known good CD.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error cannot be
corrected, contact your retailer. If the radio displays
an error message, write it down and provide it to your
retailer when reporting the problem.
Using the Auxiliary Input Jack
Your radio system has an auxiliary input jack located
on the lower right side of the faceplate. This is not
an audio output; do not plug the headphone set into the
front auxiliary input jack. You can however, connect
an external audio device such as an iPod, laptop
computer, MP3 player, CD changer, or cassette tape
player, etc. to the auxiliary input jack for use as another
source for audio listening.
To use a portable audio player, connect a 3.5 mm
(1/8 inch) cable to the radio’s front auxiliary input jack.
When a device is connected, press the radio CD/AUX
button to begin playing audio from the device over
the car speakers.
O(Power/Volume):Turn this knob clockwise to
increase or counterclockwise to decrease the volume
of the portable player. You may need to do additional
volume adjustments from the portable device if the

BAND:Press this button to listen to the radio when a
portable audio device is playing. The portable audio
device will continue playing, so you may want to stop

Rear Seat Entertainment System
Your vehicle may have a DVD Rear Seat Entertainment
(RSE) system. The RSE system works with the
vehicles audio system and includes a DVD radio, a
video display screen, two sets of wireless headphones,
and a remote control.
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 includes two sets of wireless headphones that
are only dedicated to this system. These 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 infrared transmitters are located in the display
below 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 will not be covered by your warranty.
Keep the headphones stored in a cool, dry place.

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. With the radio on,
the screen will automatically switch to the rear auxiliary
input when the red connector cable is inserted.
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 DVD/AUX button
on the DVD player or the SRCE button on the remote
control. See “DVD Radio” and “Remote Control” later

pressing the BAND button to select AM, FM or XM™
(if equipped). The rear seat speakers will be muted
for radio listening, and the DVD will play through the
headphones (RSE Mode).
When RCA jacks are connected, the rear speakers
will be muted. The rear seat passengers will be able
to hear audio from the auxiliary device through the
wireless headphones. The front seat passengers will be
able to listen to the radio through the front speakers,
by pressing the BAND button to select AM, FM, or XM
(if equipped), or listen to a CD that is inserted into
the radio.
If a playback device is plugged into the radio’s auxiliary
input jack, the device can be heard through all of the
vehicle speakers. In RSE mode the playback device
will only be heard through the front speakers.
