Headphones
The RSE includes two 2-channel
wireless headphones that are
dedicated to this system. Channel 1
is dedicated to the video screen,
while Channel 2 is dedicated to RSA
selections. These headphones
are used to listen to media such as
CDs, DVDs, MP3/WMAs, DVD-As,
radio, any auxiliary source
connected to A/V jacks, or the
auxiliary input jack, if the vehicle
has this feature. The wireless
headphones have an On/Off button,channel 1/2 switch, and a volume
control. Switch the headphones
to Off when not in use.
Push the power button to turn on
the headphones. An indicator
light located on the headphones
comes on. If the light does not come
on, the batteries might need to be
replaced. Intermittent sound or static
on the headphones can also be
an indication of weak batteries.
See “Battery Replacement” later in
this section for more information.
The headphones automatically turn
off after four hours of continuous use.
To adjust the volume on the
headphones, use the volume control
located on the right side.
Infrared transmitters are located at
the rear of the RSE overhead
console. The headphones shut off
automatically to save the battery
power if the RSE system and RSA
are shut off or if the headphones
are out of range of the transmitters
for more than three minutes.Moving too far forward or stepping
out of the vehicle, can cause the
headphones to lose the audio signal.
For optimal audio performance, the
headphones must be worn correctly.
The symbol L (Left) appears on the
upper left side, above the ear pad
and should be positioned on the left
ear. The symbol R (Right) appears
on the upper right side, above the
ear pad and should be positioned on
the right ear.
Notice:Do not store the
headphones in heat or direct
sunlight. This could damage the
headphones and repairs will
not be covered by the warranty.
Storage in extreme cold can
weaken the batteries. Keep the
headphones stored in a cool,
dry place.
If the foam ear pads attached to the
headphones become worn or
damaged, the pads can be replaced
separately from the headphone
set. See your dealer/retailer for more
information.

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.

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
