Headphones
Headphones are a wireless type and no cables
are necessary. You can use them in almost all
the ranges in the rear seat for listening to the
sound from DVD or AUX. (It is not possible to
use the headphones in the front seat.)
Power ON/OFF :
Push the POWER button to turn the headphones
on or off.Volume control :
Turn the volume control knob to adjust the
volume.
The headphones will automatically be turned
off in approximately 5 minutes if there is no
sound during that period (when the head-
phones cannot receive infrared rays). To pre-
vent the battery from being discharged, keep
the power turned off when not in use.
If the sound from the headphones is not clear it
may be because:
●
of an infrared communication device or cel-
lular phone, turn down the headphone vol-
ume or stop using the headphones, or ●
the headphones maybe out of the range of
the transmitter installed in the rear flip-down
display screen. This is not a malfunction, or
● the sound may be interrupted temporarily
when there is an obstacle between the head-
phones and the transmitter. Remove the
obstacle, such as opaque materials, hands,
hair, etc.
