Rear Seat Entertainment System
Media overview
You can access various types of media from
all operating positions in the vehicle.
The media can be connected to any available
jacks in the vehicle or inserted into the vari-
ous drives.
RIf media from different sources are used,
they can be used separately from each of
the operating positions. Example: a film
from the DVD drive is played on the rear
right-hand operating position. This means
that another film from the same DVD can-
not be played separately on the rear left-
hand operating position. However, it is pos-
sible to use the radio, memory card, MUSIC
REGISTER, Media Interface, USB, online
and Internet functions or AUX.
RIf you use the same medium on both sides, you can both carry out the respective set-
tings. The "last one wins" principle applies
here, i.e. the last setting activated is
favored.
RThe Internet can be used separately at all
operating positions.
RThe Internet can only be used if it is set up
and connected via a telephone
(
Ypage 176).
