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 plays the audio of the
connected auxiliary device by sourcing to auxiliary. See
Radio(s) on page 3-72 for more information.
For optimal sound quality, increase the portable audio
device’s volume to the loudest level. Higher levels
of volume decreases audio distortion.
It is always best to power your portable audio device
through its own battery while playing.
