load or eject problems.

the disc label wrong side up, or if the disc is damaged.

correct region.

Cleaning the RSE Overhead Console
When cleaning the RSE overhead console surface, use
only a clean cloth dampened with clean water.
Cleaning the Video Screen
When cleaning the video screen, use only a clean cloth
dampened with clean water. Use care when directly
touching or cleaning the screen, as damage can result.
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.
4-85

For example, rear seat passengers can control and
listen to 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 the band on the other system, if they
are both sourced to the radio.
The RSA functions can be used even when the main
radio is off.
Audio can be heard through wired headphones (not
included) plugged into the jacks on the RSA. If your
vehicle has this feature, audio can also be heard on
Channel 2 of the wireless headphones.
The front audio system allows the rear speakers to
continue playing even when the RSA audio is active
through the headphones.
To listen to an iPod or portable audio device through the
RSA, attach the iPod or portable audio device to the
auxiliary input (if available), located below the RSA
system. Turn the iPod on, then choose the front
auxiliary input with the RSA SRCE button.
P(Power):Press this button to turn the RSA on or off.
Volume : Turn this knob to increase or to decrease the
volume of the wired headphones. The left knob controls
the left headphones and the right knob controls the right
headphones.
SRCE (Source) : Press this button to switch between
the radio (AM/FM), XM™ (if equipped), CD, and if the
vehicle has these features, DVD, and rear auxiliary.
