Tips and Troubleshooting
IR Sensor Inoperative:Check that
the batteries are good in the remote
control. Check that the remote
Control IR Sensor is not blocked.
Aim the remote control toward the
IR Sensor being controlled. Select
the correct screen, 3 or 4.

Cleaning the Video Screens
The video display screens are made
of a specially coated glass and can
be scratched or damaged by
abrasive products, solvents,
or ammonia-based window
cleaners. Clean with a soft, lint-free,
cotton cloth that has been slightly dampened with warm water. Dry the
screens by wiping with a clean dry
cotton cloth.
Cleaning the Components
Use care when touching or cleaning
the components such as the DVD
player or the discs.
Do not use DVD lens cleaners for
DVD players because the lens of
the DVD optics can become
contaminated by lubricants.
Handle CDs and DVDs carefully.
Store them in their original cases or
other protective cases and 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.

The vehicle may have an Overhead
DVD Rear Seat
Entertainment (RSE) system. The
RSE system works with the
vehicle's audio system. The DVD
player is part of the front radio. The
RSE system includes a radio with a
DVD player, a video display screen,
and if the vehicle has a third row
seat, it could have a second video
display screen, audio/video jacks,
two wireless headphones, and a
remote control. See
