WARNING
• It is unlawful in most jurisdictions for
a person to drive a motor vehicle
which is equipped with a television
monitor or screen that is visible, di-
rectly or indirectly, to the driver while
operating the vehicle. In the interest
of safety, the unit should never be
installed where it will be directly or
indirectly visible, by the operator of
the motor vehicle.
• If your vehicle is equipped with a
wireless rear seat audio system or
any other wireless infrared device,
make sure it is powered off when op-
erating the RSI system. If both sys-
tems are powered on at the same
time, the two systems may obstruct
each other, possibly creating unde-
sirable audio interference through
the wireless headphones.
• For safety reasons when changing
discs, it is recommended that the ve-
hicle is not in motion, and that you do
not allow children to unfasten safety
belts to change discs or make any
adjustments to the system. System
adjustments can be accomplished
using the remote control, while
safety belts remain fastened. •
Enjoy your RSI system but remember
that safety of all passengers remains
the number one priority. Devices in-
stalled in the USB, HDMI, or head-
phone jack may protrude and create
a potential eye impact hazard for un-
belted passengers during a vehicle
accident. To reduce the risk of injury,
use only SD cards (hidden on lef t side
of driver side monitor) or low-profile
USB storage devices.
CAUTION
• Do not touch the inner pins of the
jacks on the front panel. Electrostatic
discharge may cause permanent
damage to the device.
• The LCD display screen is not touch-
screen. Do not put pressure or add
suction cups on the screen.
• Caution children to avoid touching or
scratching the screen, as it may be-
come dirty or damaged. •
Be sure to run the vehicle engine
while using the system. Using this
system without running the engine
can result in battery drain. To avoid
the risk of battery drain, please re-
member to turn off the system when
the vehicle is not in use.

A, or channel “B” to listen to monitor B. Ad-
just the audio level using the volume con-
trol on each headphone.
Wired headphones
There is a 3.5mm stereo headphone out-
put on each monitor which can be used
with most standard stereo headphones
(wired headphones sold separately).
Bluetooth® streaming audio
To listen to audio throughout the entire ve-
hicle, the system includes the ability to
stream audio over a Bluetooth® connec-
tion to the vehicle’s stereo system.
When monitor A is selected as the source
to stream from, the audio output to the
wireless and wired headphones will be dis-
abled (only on monitor A). To use the wire-
less or wired headphones with monitor A,
you must turn off the Bluetooth® stream-
ing feature. To enable/disable Bluetooth®
streaming, navigate to the “SETTINGS”
menu, or press
on the remote control
during content playback. For additional in-
formation, refer to “Settings” in this section.
Notes on discs
• To keep a disc clean, do not touch its surface. Handle the disc by its edge.
• Keep your discs in their cases or sleeves when not in use. Also, do not subject disc
to heat/high temperature. Avoid leaving
them in a parked vehicle or on a
dashboard/rear tray.
• Do not attach labels, or use discs with sticky ink/residue. The following malfunc-
tions may result from using such discs:– Inability to eject a disc due to a label or sticker peeling off and jamming the
disc mechanism. – Inability to read audio data correctly
(i.e., playback skipping, or no playback)
due to heat shrinking of a sticker or
label causing a disc to warp.
• Before playing, clean the discs with a commercially available cleaning cloth.
Wipe each disc from the center out. Do
not use solvents such as benzene, thin-
ner, commercially available cleaners, or
antistatic spray intended for analog
discs.
• Use only normal, circular discs. If you in- sert irregular, non-round, shaped discs
they may jam in the DVD player or not
play properly.
