The RSE includes two 2-channel
wireless headphones that are
dedicated to this system. Channel 1
is dedicated to the video screen,
while Channel 2 is dedicated to RSA
selections. These headphones are
used to listen to media such asCDs, DVDs, MP3/WMAs, DVD-As,
radio, any auxiliary source
connected to A/V jacks, or the
auxiliary input jack, if the vehicle
has this feature. The wireless
headphones have a power button,
channel 1 or 2 switch, and a volume
control. Switch the headphones off
when not in use.
Push the power button to turn on
the headphones. An indicator light
located on the headphones comes
on. If the light does not come on,
the batteries might need to be
replaced. Intermittent sound or static
on the headphones can also be an
indication of weak batteries. See
“Battery Replacement”
later in this
section for more information.
To adjust the volume on the
headphones, use the volume control
located on the right side.
Infrared transmitters are located at
the rear of the RSE overhead
console. The headphones shut off
automatically to save the battery
power if the RSE system and RSA are shut off or if the headphones are
out of range of the transmitters for
more than three minutes. Moving too
far forward or stepping out of the
vehicle, can cause the headphones
to lose the audio signal.
For optimal audio performance, the
headphones must be worn correctly.
Headphones should be worn with
the headband over the top of the
head for best audio reception. The
symbol L (Left) appears on the
outside bottom edge of the ear cup
and should be positioned on the left
ear. The symbol R (Right) appears
on the outside bottom edge of the
ear cup and should be positioned on
the right ear.
Notice:
Do not store the
headphones in heat or direct
sunlight. This could damage the
headphones and 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.

Audio/Video (A/V) Jacks
A. Yellow: Video Input
B. White: Left Audio Input
C. Red: Right Audio Input
The A/V jacks are color coded to
match typical home entertainment
system equipment.
The A/V jacks, located on the rear
of the floor console, allow audio or
video signals to be connected from
an auxiliary device such as a
camcorder or a video game unit to
the RSE system. Adapter
connectors or cables (not supplied)
might be required to connect the
auxiliary device to the A/V jacks.
Refer to the manufacturer
’s
instructions for proper usage.
Power for auxiliary devices is not
supplied by the radio system.
To use the auxiliary inputs of the
RSE system, connect an external
auxiliary device to the color-coded
A/V jacks and turn both the auxiliary
device and the video screen power
on. If the video screen is in the DVD
player mode, pressing the AUX
(auxiliary) button on the remote
control switches the video screen
from the DVD player mode to the
auxiliary device. The radio can listen
to the audio of the connected
auxiliary device by sourcing to
auxiliary. See Auxiliary Devices on
page 7‑35 for more information.
