Stereo RCA Jacks
The RCA jacks are located on the DVD faceplate
on the oor console. The RCA jacks allow
audio and video signals to be connected from
an auxiliary device such as a camcorder or a video
game unit to the RSE system. The yellow RCA
jack is used for video inputs, the red RCA jack
for right audio inputs, and the white RCA jack
for left audio inputs. The system requires
standard RCA cables, not included, to connect
the auxiliary device to the RCA jacks. Refer to
the manufacturer’s instructions for proper usage.
To use the auxiliary audio and video inputs,
connect an external auxiliary device such as a
camcorder to the RCA jacks and turn on both
the auxiliary device power and the power on the
front of the RSE system. Press the play and
source buttons at the same time or the AUX button
on the remote control to switch to the auxiliary
device. See “DVD Player” and “Remote Control”
later in this section for more information.
