Sometimes the wireless
headphone audio cuts out
or buzzes. Check for obstructions, low
batteries, reception range,
and interference from
cellular telephone towers or
by using a cellular
telephone in the vehicle.
Check that the headphones
are on correctly using the
L (left) and R (right) on the
headphones.
I lost the remote and/or the
headphones. See your dealer/retailer for
assistance.
The DVD is playing, but
there is no picture or
sound. Check that the RSE video
screen is sourced to the
DVD player.
DVD Display Error Messages
The DVD display error message depends on the radio
that is in the vehicle. The video screen can display one
of the following:
Disc Load/Eject Error :
This message displays when
there are disc load or eject problems.
Disc Format Error : This message displays, if the disc
is inserted with the disc label wrong side up, or if the
disc is damaged.

is not from a correct region.
No Disc Inserted : This message displays, if no disc is
present when
ZEJECT or DVD AUX is pressed on
the radio.

phones, scanners, CB radios, Global Position Systems
(GPS)*, two-way radios, mobile fax, or walkie talkies.

Cleaning the Video Screen
When cleaning the video screen, use only a clean cloth
dampened with clean water. Use care when directly
touching or cleaning the screen, as damage could
result.
Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
Vehicles with this feature allow the rear seat
passengers to listen to and control any of the music
sources: radio, CDs, DVDs, or other auxiliary sources.
The rear seat passengers can control the same music
sources the front seat passengers are listening to (dual
control, is available depending upon radio) or a different
source. For example, rear seat passengers can control
and listen to a CD through the headphones, while the
driver listens to the radio through the speakers. The
rear seat passengers have control of the volume for
each set of headphones.
The radio functionality is controlled by both the RSA
and the front radio. Only one band can be tuned to at
one time. Changing the band on the RSA or the front
radio will change the band on the other system, if they
are both sourced to the radio.
The RSA can be used even when the main radio is off.
The front audio system will display the headphone icon
when the RSA is on, and will disappear from the display
when it is off.Audio can be heard through wired headphones (not
included) plugged into the jacks on the RSA. If the
vehicle has this feature, audio can also be heard on
Channel 2 of the wireless headphones.
To listen to an iPod or portable audio device through the
RSA, attach the iPod or portable audio device to the
front auxiliary input (if available), located on the front
audio system. Turn the iPod on, then choose the front
auxiliary input with the RSA SRCE button.
P(Power):
Press this button to turn the RSA on or off.
Volume : Turn this knob to increase or to decrease the
volume. The left knob controls the left headphones and
the right knob controls the right headphones.
