Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE)
System (Overhead) The vehicle may have an Overhead DVD Rear Seat
Entertainment (RSE) system. The RSE system works
with the vehicle's audio system. The DVD player is part
of the front radio. The RSE system includes a radio with
a DVD player, a video display screen, and if the vehicle
has a third row seat, it could have a second video
display screen, audio/video jacks, two wireless
headphones, and a remote control. See Navigation
Audio System
on page 5 ‑ 60 for more information on
the vehicle's audio/DVD system.

Audio/Video (A/V) Jacks
The A/V jacks are located on the rear of the floor
console. The A/V jacks 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 included) may 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 plays the
audio of the connected auxiliary device by sourcing to
auxiliary. See Navigation Audio System
on page 5 ‑ 60
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 a portable audio device
through its own battery while playing.

Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE)
System (Headrest DVD) Vehicles with an RSE system include two head restraint
video display screens with integrated DVD players,
auxiliary inputs, two wireless headphones, and a remote
control. This system works independently from the
vehicle's Overhead DVD RSE system. See the vehicle's
owners manual for information about the Overhead
DVD RSE system.

be heard through the vehicle speakers or the wireless/
wired headphones, while the radio is tuned to one of the
six frequencies selected on the Sound Around portion
of the system ’ s remote control. See “ Remote Control ”
later in this supplement.
Only one audio source can be heard through the

Wireless Headphones The two wireless headphones included with the
Headrest DVD RSE system will only work with the
Headrest DVD RSE system and are marked for

the channel selector. The driver side monitor is
designated as Channel 3, and the passenger side as
Channel 4. Set the channel selector switch according to
the video display screen being viewed. The message,
“ To listen to this monitor tune your headphones to
Channel 3 (or 4) ” displays for five seconds then
disappears when the video display screen is turned on.
OFF/ON (Power): Turn the power switch located on the
earpiece to turn the wireless headphones on or off.
Each headphone has a light to indicate ON. If the light
does not come on, the batteries may need to be
replaced. See “ Battery Replacement ” under Rear Seat
Entertainment System in the vehicle ’ s owner manual.
The headphones shut off automatically if the RSE
system is turned off or if the headphones are out of
range of the transmitter for more than three minutes.

headphones.
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.
