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)
System
Vehicles with this feature allow
the rear seat passengers to listen
to and control any of the music
sources: radio, CD, DVD, 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.
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. Turn the iPod on, then choose
the auxiliary input with the RSA
SRCE button. An iPod
®or portable
audio device can be connected
to the front auxiliary jack or the
USB port.
