Infrared transmitters are on the top
of the left seatback video screen.
The headphones shut off to save
battery power if RSE is shut off or if
the headphones are out of range for

cause the headphones to lose the
signal or have static.
The headphones turn off after four
hours of continuous use. To adjust the volume on the
headphones, use the volume
control.
Wear the headphones correctly, with
the headband over the top of the
head for best audio reception. The
L (Left) and R (Right) symbols are
on the outside bottom edge of the
ear cup and should be worn
appropriately.
Notice:
Do not store the
headphones in heat or direct
sunlight. This could damage the
headphones and repairs will not
be covered by the warranty.
Storage in extreme cold can
weaken the batteries. Keep the
headphones stored in a cool, dry
place.
If the headphone foam ear pads
become worn or damaged, they
can be replaced separately. To

more information.
Video Screen Input Jack
Each video screen has a video input
jack to allow video cables to be
connected from an auxiliary device
such as a camcorder or a video
game system. This signal will override any video provided by the
RSE. The RSE system must be on
for this input to operate.
Remote Control
To use the remote control, aim it at
the transmitter window at either
seatback console and press the
power button. Direct sunlight or very
bright light could affect the ability of
the RSE transmitter to receive
signals from the remote control.
Check the batteries if the remote
control does not seem to be
working. See
“Battery Replacement”
later in this section. Objects
blocking the line of sight could also
affect the function of the remote
control.
If a CD, DVD, or MP3 disc is in the
Radio DVD slot, the remote control
Obutton can be used to turn on the
video screen display and start the
disc. The infotainment system can
also turn on the video screen
display. See CD Player on page 36.
Use the infotainment system to turn
the video screen display on.
Notice: Storing the remote
control in a hot area or in direct
sunlight can damage it, and the
repairs will not be covered by the
warranty. Storage in extreme cold
can weaken the batteries. Keep
the remote control stored in a
cool, dry place.
