1. CHECK THE DVD-ROM.
Insert a region code 1 DVD-ROM, and check that the display shows images from the DVD when playing back
the media.
NOTE:
Region code 1 is a code for North American DVD-ROM discs. DVD-ROMs of different region codes will not
be played back.
Standard value: Image from DVD should be displayed.
OK: Normal
NG: If the images from the DVD is not displayed, check whether the DVD-ROM is set in the rear entertain-
ment system, whether the correct side is set, type of the DVD-ROM, the existence of any scratches, etc. If
there are no problems on the DVD-ROM, the main body is defective.
NOTE:
The rear entertainment system is not compatible with MP3 files or DVD-Audio.
2. ERROR DISPLAY AND CONTENT

C: INSPECTION
NOTE:
•For self diagnosis of the audio system, there is a communications check (communication condition be-
tween the audio and the control panel) and a switch check. Perform a communications check first and make
sure it is operating normally before proceeding to the inspection of switches.
•Complete operations from when the self diagnosis mode of step 1 operates and the buzzer sounds, to
pressing the preset 1 switch in 3., within 15 seconds. If more than 15 seconds pass, a communications error
will be displayed.
•During the diagnosis, do not press the POWER(8), FM(12), AM(14), CD(11), RSE AUX(13) switches.
Pressing these switches will disengage the self diagnosis mode.
