Audio/Video (A/V) Jacks
The A/V jacks, located on the rear
of the floor console, 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 supplied)
might 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 can listen
to the audio of the connected
