Cleaning the Components Use care when touching or cleaning the components
such as the DVD player or the discs.
Do not use DVD lens cleaners for DVD players because
the lens of the DVD optics can become contaminated
by lubricants.
Handle CDs and DVDs carefully. Store them in their
original cases or other protective cases and away from
direct sunlight and dust. The DVD player scans the
bottom surface of the disc. If the surface of a CD or
DVD is damaged, such as cracked, broken,
or scratched, the CD or DVD may not play properly or
not at all. If the surface of a CD or DVD is soiled, take a
soft, lint free cloth or dampen a clean, soft cloth in a
mild, neutral detergent solution mixed with water, and
clean it. Make sure the wiping process starts from the
center to the edge.
Do not touch the bottom side of a CD or DVD while
handling it; this could damage the surface. Pick up CDs
or DVDs by grasping the outer edges or the edge of the
hole and the outer edge. Rear Seat Audio (RSA) Vehicles with this feature allow the rear seat
passengers to listen to and control any of the music
sources: radio, CDs, DVDs, or other auxiliary sources.
The rear seat passengers can control the same music
sources the front seat passengers are listening to (dual
control) or a different source. For example, rear seat
passengers can listen to and control a CD through the
headphones, while the driver listens to the radio through
the speakers. The rear seat passengers have control of
the volume for each set of headphones.
The radio functionality is controlled by both the RSA
and the front radio, only one band can be tuned to at
one time. Changing the band on the RSA or the front
radio will change band on the other system.
RSA functions can be operated even when the main
radio is off.
Audio can be heard through wired headphones (not
included) plugged into the jacks on the RSA. If the
vehicle has this feature, audio can also be heard on
Channel 2 of the wireless headphones.
The audio system allows the rear speakers to continue
playing even when the RSA audio is active through the
headphones.
