Before Driving
The RSE is designed for rear seat passengers only. Thedriver cannot safely view the video screen while drivingand should not try to do so.
In severe or extreme weather conditions the RSEsystem might not work until the temperature is withinthe operating range. The operating range for the RSEsystem is above!4°F (!20°C) or below 140°F (60°C).If the temperature of the vehicle is outside of this range,heat or cool the vehicle until the temperature is withinthe operating range of the RSE system.
Headphones
The RSE includes two 2-channel wireless headphonesthat are dedicated to this system. Channel 1 isdedicated to the DVD player, while Channel 2 isdedicated to RSA selections. These headphones areused to listen to media such as CDs, DVDs, MP3s,DVDAs, radio, any auxiliary source connected toA/V jacks, or the auxiliary input jack, if the vehiclehas this feature. The wireless headphones have anOn/Off button, channel 1/2 switch, and a volumecontrol.

The infrared transmitters are located at the rear of theRSE overhead console. The headphones shut offautomatically to save the battery power if the RSEsystem and the RSA are shut off or if the headphonesare out of range of the transmitters for more than3 minutes. If you move too far forward or step out of thevehicle, the headphones lose the audio signal.
The headphones may automatically turn off afterfour hours of continuous use.
To adjust the volume on the headphones, use thevolume control located on the right side.
For optimal audio performance, the headphones mustbe worn correctly. Headphones should be worn withheadband over the top of the head for best audioreception. The symbol L (Left) appears on the upper leftside, above the ear pad and should be positioned onthe left ear. The symbol R (Right) appears on the upperright side, above the ear pad and should be positionedon the right ear.
Notice:Do not store the headphones in heat ordirect sunlight. This could damage the headphonesand 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 foam ear pads attached to the headphonesbecome worn or damaged, the pads can be replacedseparately from the headphone set. See your dealer/retailer for more information.

Audio/Video (A/V) Jacks
The A/V jacks are located on the rear of the floorconsole. The A/V jacks allow audio or video signals tobe connected from an auxiliary device such as acamcorder or a video game unit to the RSE system.Adapter connectors or cables (not included) maybe required to connect the auxiliary device to theA/V jacks. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructionsfor proper usage.
The A/V jacks are color coded to match typical homeentertainment system equipment. The yellow jack (A) isfor the video input. The white jack (B) is for the leftaudio input. The red jack (C) is for the right audio input.
Power for auxiliary devices is not supplied by the radiosystem.
To use the auxiliary inputs of the RSE system, connectan external auxiliary device to the color-coded A/V jacksand turn both the auxiliary device and the video screenpower on. If the video screen is in the DVD playermode, pressing the AUX (auxiliary) button on theremote control switches the video screen from the DVDplayer mode to the auxiliary device. The radio plays theaudio of the connected auxiliary device by sourcing toauxiliary. SeeNavigation Audio Systemon page 5!60for more information.
For optimal sound quality, increase the portable audiodevice's volume to the loudest level. Higher levels ofvolume decreases audio distortion.
It is always best to power a portable audio devicethrough its own battery while playing.
