Audio/Video (A/V) Jacks
The A/V jacks, located on the rear of the oor
console, allow audio or video signals to be
connected from an auxiliary device such as a
camcorder or a video game unit to the RSE system.
Adapter connectors or cables may be required to
connect the auxiliary device to the A/V jacks. Refer
to the manufacturer’s instructions for proper usage.
The A/V jacks are color coded to match typical
home entertainment system equipment. The yellow
jack (A) is for the video input. The white jack (B)
is for the left audio input. The red jack (C) is for
the right audio input.
Power for auxiliary devices is not supplied by
the radio system.

To use the auxiliary inputs of the RSE system,
connect an external auxiliary device to the
color-coded A/V jacks and turn both the auxiliary
device and the video screen power on. If the video
screen is in the DVD player mode, pressing the
AUX (auxiliary) button on the remote control
switches the video screen from the DVD player
mode to the auxiliary device. The radio can listen
to the audio of the connected auxiliary device by
sourcing to auxiliary. SeeRadio with CD and
DVD (MP3) on page 301for more information.

The RSE system always transmits the audio signal
to the wireless headphones, if there is audio
available. See “Headphones” earlier in this section

the wired headphone jacks on the RSA system,

has this feature, the rear seat passengers are able
to hear audio from the auxiliary device through
the wireless or wired headphones. The front seat
passengers are able to listen to playback from

section. Objects blocking the line of sight could
also affect the function of the remote control.
If a CD or DVD is in the Radio DVD slot,
