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 (not supplied) might 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(s) on page 3-75
for more information.
