Playing a CD
If the ignition or radio is turned off, with a CD in the
player, it will stay in the player. When the ignition
or radio is turned on, the CD will start playing where it
stopped, if it was the last selected audio source.
When a CD is inserted, the CD symbol will appear on
the CD. As each new track starts to play, the track
number will appear on the display.
The CD player can play the smaller 3 inch (8 cm) single
CDs with an adapter ring. Full-size CDs and the
smaller CDs are loaded in the same manner.
If playing a CD-R, the sound quality may be reduced
due to CD-R quality, the method of recording, the quality
of the music that has been recorded, and the way the
CD-R has been handled. There may be an increase
in skipping, difficulty in nding tracks, and/or difficulty in
loading and ejecting. If these problems occur, check
the bottom surface of the CD. If the surface of the CD is
damaged, such as cracked, broken, or scratched, the
CD will not play properly. If the surface of the CD
is soiled, seeCare of Your CDs and DVDs on
page 3-113for more information.
If there is no apparent damage, try a known good CD.Do not add any label to a CD, it could get caught in the
CD player. If a CD is recorded on a personal computer
and a description label is needed, try labeling the top of
the recorded CD with a marking pen instead.
Notice:If you add any label to a CD, insert more
than one CD into the slot at a time, or attempt
to play scratched or damaged CDs, you could
damage the CD player. When using the CD player,
use only CDs in good condition without any
label, load one CD at a time, and keep the CD player
and the loading slot free of foreign materials,
liquids, and debris.
If an error appears on the display, see “CD Messages”
later in this section.
LOAD:Press this button to load CDs into the CD
player. This CD player will hold up to six CDs.
To insert one CD, do the following:
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Press and release the LOAD button.
3. Wait for the indicator light, located to the right of the
slot, to turn green.
4. Load a CD. Insert the CD partway into the slot,
label side up. The player will pull the CD in.

Before You Drive
The RSE system will play DVD, CD, and MP3 discs. You
can also connect an auxiliary device to the RSE system
to play games, watch videos, view photos, etc.
Notice:Normal operation for the RSE system may
be limited under extreme temperatures. Using
the RSE system during extreme temperatures may
cause damage to the system. Wait until the inside of
the vehicle is at a safe temperature range of
32°-140°F (0°-60°C) before using the system.
Headphones
Wireless Headphones
The RSE system may include two sets of wireless
headphones. Each headphone will have an L marked
on the left-side, for the left ear and an R marked on the
right-side, for the right ear. The L and R marks are to
show how the headphones should be worn.
OFF/ON (Power):The wireless headphones have an
OFF/ON power switch located on the left of the
earpiece. To use the headphones, turn the switch to
ON. An indicator light on the right earpiece of the
headphones will illuminate. If the light does not
illuminate, the batteries may need to be replaced. See
“Battery Replacement” later in this section. Switch
the headphones to OFF when not in use.The headphones will shut off automatically to save the
battery power if the RSE system is shut off or if the
headphones are out of range of the transmitter window
for more than three minutes. The transmitter window
is located on the bottom edge of the monitor. If
you move too far forward or step out of the vehicle,
the headphones will lose the audio signal.
Channel Selector:The wireless headphones have a
channel selector switch located on the right earpiece.
The channel selector switches between Channel A and
Channel B. Since each monitor has the capability to
function as two independent sources through auxiliary
input, it is necessary to transmit audio signals on
separate channels. The driver’s side monitor is
designated as Channel A, and the passenger’s side as
Channel B. The Headphone channel selector switch
must be set to the appropriate channel according to the
monitor being viewed. When the head restraint
monitor is initially turned on the message, “To listen
to this monitor tune your headphones to channel A
(or B)” will be displayed for ve seconds then disappear.

VOL0(Volume):To adjust the volume on the
wireless headphones, use the volume control.
Notice:Do not store the headphones in heat or
direct sunlight. This could damage the headphones
and repairs will not be covered by your warranty.
Keep the headphones stored in a cool, dry place.
If there is a decreased audio signal during CD, MP3, or
DVD play, there may be a soft hissing noise through
the speakers and/or headphones. If the hissing sound in
the wireless headphones seem excessive, make sure
that the headphone batteries are fully charged. A
small amount of hissing is normal.
Battery Replacement
To change the batteries, do the following:
1. Press down on the left earpiece and slide the
battery compartment panel down to expose the
battery compartment.2. Replace the two AAA batteries in the compartment.
Make sure that they are installed correctly using the
diagram on the inside of the battery compartment.
3. Slide the battery compartment panel back and
then down until the panel closes into the
headphone ear piece.
If the headphones are to be stored for a long period of
time, remove the batteries, and keep them in a cool,
dry place.
Wired Headphones
There is a headphone jack on the left lower side of the
video screen. Use this jack with universal wired
headphones. To adjust the volume, do the following:
1. Plug the headphone into the corresponding
jack, located on the bottom left of the video screen,
next to the auxiliary jack.
2. Press the up or down arrow buttons on the monitor
to increase or to decrease the volume.

Audio Output
Audio from the DVD player or auxiliary devices can be
heard through the vehicle speakers or the wireless/wired
headphones. The FM Modulator control has to be set
to one of eight frequencies in order for these devices to
be heard through the vehicle’s speakers. See “FM
Modulator Control” later in this section.
Vehicle Speakers
Only one audio source can be heard through the
vehicle’s speakers at a time. The audio source to be
reproduced is specied by the A/V source selected on
the driver’s side head restraint monitor.
The RSE system or an auxiliary device can be heard
through all of the vehicle’s speakers when a DVD
or auxiliary device is playing and the radio is tuned
to one of eight frequencies selected on the FM
Modulator controller.
To turn the RSE system audio output to the vehicle’s
speakers, on or off, press the POWER button on the FM
Modulator Controller. The audio from the RSE system
can be heard through the wireless/wired headphones
and the vehicle’s speakers at the same time. The
volume on the radio may vary when switching between
the radio, CD, DVD, MP3, or an auxiliary device.
