Headphones
The RSE includes two 2-channel wireless headphones
that are dedicated to this system. Channel 1 is dedicated
to the DVD player, while Channel 2 is dedicated to RSA
selections. These headphones can be used to listen to
the radio, CDs, DVDs, MP3s, DVDAs, any auxiliary
source connected to A/V jacks, or the auxiliary input jack,
if your vehicle has this feature. The wireless headphones
have an On/Off button, channel 1/2 switch, and a volume
control.
Push the power button to turn on the headphones.
An indicator light located on the headphones comes on.
If the light comes on but, there is intermittent soundand/or static on the headphones, or if the indicator
light does not come on, the batteries might need to
be replaced. See “Battery Replacement” later in
this section for more information. Switch the headphones
to Off when not in use.
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.
If you move too far forward or step out of the vehicle,
the headphones lose the audio signal.
The headphones automatically turn off after four hours
of continuous use.
To adjust the volume on the headphones, use the
volume control located on the right side.
For optimal audio performance, the headphones must
be worn correctly. The symbol L (Left) appears on
the upper left side, above the ear pad and should be
positioned on the left ear. The symbol R (Right) appears
on the upper right side, above the ear pad 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 your 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 headphones
become worn or damaged, the pads can be replaced
separately from the headphone set. Refer to your
dealer/retailer for more information.

Audio/Video (A/V) Jacks
The A/V jacks, located on the rear of the oor 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 included) might be required to connect
the auxiliary device to the A/V jacks. Refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions for proper usage.
The A/V jacks are color coded to match typical home
entertainment system equipment. The yellow jack (A)
is for the video input. The white jack (B) is for the
left audio input. The red jack (C) is for the right audio
input.
Power for auxiliary devices is not supplied by the radio
system.
3-107

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

Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
This feature allows rear seat passengers to listen to and
control any of the music sources: radio, CDs, DVDs,
or other auxiliary sources. However, the rear seat
passengers can only control the music sources the front
seat passengers are not listening to (except on some
radios where dual control is allowed). For example, rearseat 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 wired headphones.
You can operate the RSA functions 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 your 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), on the front audio
system. Turn the iPod on, then choose the front
auxiliary input with the RSA SRCE button.

Radio Reception
Frequency interference and static can occur during
normal radio reception if items such as cell phone
chargers, vehicle convenience accessories, and external
electronic devices are plugged into the accessory power
outlet. If there is interference or static, unplug the item
from the accessory power outlet.
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM,
especially at night. The longer range can cause station
frequencies to interfere with each other. For better radio
reception, most AM radio stations boost the power levels
during the day, and then reduce these levels during the
night. Static can also occur when things like storms and
power lines interfere with radio reception. When this
happens, try reducing the treble on your radio.
FM Stereo
FM stereo gives the best sound, but FM signals only
reach about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). Tall buildings
or hills can interfere with FM signals, causing the
sound to fade in and out.
