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 can 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
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 RSE. The yellow RCA jack is used for video
input, 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.To use the auxiliary audio and video inputs,
connect an external auxiliary device such as a
camcorder to the RCA jacks and turn on both the
auxiliary device power and the power on the
front of the RSE player.

on, the player may automatically begin playing
the disc. Press the AUX button on the remote
