■Headphones
With some headphones generally available in the market, it may be difficult to catch
signals properly. Lexus recommends the use of Lexus genuine wireless head-
phones.
Please contact your Lexus dealer for further details.
■Vo l u m e
●Adjust the volume when you connect the headphones to the jack. Loud sounds
may have a significant impact on the human body.
●Conversational speech on some DVDs is recorded at a low volume to emphasize
the impact of sound effects. If you adjust the volume assuming that the conversa-
tions represent the maximum volume level that the DVD will play, you may be
startled by louder sound effects or when you change to a different audio source.
Be sure to adjust the volume with this in mind. An insulating sheet is set to prevent the bat-
teries from being discharged. Remove the
insulating sheet before using the remote con-
trol.
