Audio/Video (A/V) Jacks
The A/V jacks are located on the rear of the floorconsole. The A/V jacks allow audio or video signals tobe connected from an auxiliary device such as acamcorder or a video game unit to the RSE system.Adapter connectors or cables (not included) maybe required to connect the auxiliary device to theA/V jacks. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructionsfor proper usage.
The A/V jacks are color coded to match typical homeentertainment system equipment. The yellow jack (A) isfor the video input. The white jack (B) is for the leftaudio input. The red jack (C) is for the right audio input.
Power for auxiliary devices is not supplied by the radiosystem.
To use the auxiliary inputs of the RSE system, connectan external auxiliary device to the color-coded A/V jacksand turn both the auxiliary device and the video screenpower on. If the video screen is in the DVD playermode, pressing the AUX (auxiliary) button on theremote control switches the video screen from the DVDplayer mode to the auxiliary device. The radio plays theaudio of the connected auxiliary device by sourcing toauxiliary. SeeNavigation Audio Systemon page 5!60for more information.
For optimal sound quality, increase the portable audiodevice's volume to the loudest level. Higher levels ofvolume decreases audio distortion.
It is always best to power a portable audio devicethrough its own battery while playing.
