Using an MP3 CD-R or CD-RW Disc
The radio will play MP3 les that were recorded on a
CD-R or CD-RW disc. The les can be recorded with
the following xed bit rates: 32 kbps, 40 kbps, 56 kbps,
64 kbps, 80 kbps, 96 kbps, 112 kbps, 128 kbps, 160

a variable bit rate. Song title, artist name, and album will
be available for display by the radio when recorded
using ID3 tags version 1 and 2.
Compressed Audio
The radio will also play discs that contain both
uncompressed CD audio (.CDA les) and MP3 les.
By default the radio will read only the uncompressed
audio and ignore the MP3 les. Pressing the CAT button
will toggle between compressed and uncompressed
audio format.
MP3 Format
If you burn your own MP3 disc on a personal computer:
Make sure the MP3 les are recorded on a CD-R
or CD-RW disc.
Do not mix standard audio and MP3 les on
one disc.
The CD player is able to read and play a maximum
of 50 folders, 50 playlists, and 255 les.
Create a folder structure that makes it easy to nd
songs while driving. Organize songs by albums
using one folder for each album. Each folder
or album should contain 18 songs or less.
Avoid subfolders. The system can support up to
8 subfolders deep, however, keep the total
number of folders to a minimum in order to reduce
the complexity and confusion in trying to locate
a particular folder during playback.
Make sure playlists have a .m3u or .wpl extension
(other le extensions may not work).

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.

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.
