Your vehicle may have the optional Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) entertainment system. The entertainment system includes a DVD player, a video display screen, two sets of IR (Infrared) wireless headphones, a remote control and an instructional video disc.

Before You Drive

The video entertainment system is for passengers in the second and third row seats only. The driver cannot safely view the video screen while driving and should not try to do so.

In severe or extreme temperature conditions your entertainment system should not be operated until the temperature is within the operating range. This will keep your video components from being damaged when the temperature is below -4°F (-20°C) or above 140°F (60°C). To resume operation, shut off the entertainment system, pull down the video screen and then heat or cool the vehicle until the temperature is within the operating range.

Headphones

The entertainment system includes two IR wireless headphones.

Mini-headphone jacks are also provided for use with customer provided headphones.

The wireless headphones have an ON/OFF switch and a volume control. To use the headphones turn the switch to ON. An indicator light will illuminate. If the light does not illuminate, the batteries may need to be replaced. See Battery Replacement later in this section for more information. Switch the headphones to OFF when not in use.

If the system is shut off, or if the headphones are out of range of the IR transmitters below the overhead RSE control panel for more than three minutes, the headphones will shut off automatically to save the batteries. If you move too far forward or step out of the vehicle, the headphones will cut out.

To adjust the volume on the 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 the warranty. Storage in extreme cold can weaken the batteries. Keep the headphones stored in a cool, dry place.

Battery Replacement

To change the batteries, do the following:

1. Loosen the screw on the battery compartment door located on the left side of the headphones.
2. Replace the two AAA batteries in the compartment. Make sure that they are installed correctly.
3. Tighten the screws to close the compartment door.

If the headphones are to be stored for a long period of time, remove the batteries and keep them in a cool, dry place.

Stereo RCA Jacks

The RCA jacks and the mini-headphone jacks are located behind the video screen on the overhead console. The RCA jacks allow you to hook up an auxiliary device such as a camcorder or a video game unit. The yellow RCA jack is used for video and the red and white RCA jacks are used for audio. You may require adapter connectors or cables to connect your auxiliary device to the RCA jacks. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for proper usage. The mini-headphone jacks allow you to hook up two customer provided wired headphones.

To use the auxiliary audio and video inputs on the RSE, connect an external auxiliary device such as a camcorder to the RCA jacks and turn on both the auxiliary device power and the power on the front of the RSE player. If a disc is not present in the player, the auxiliary signal will immediately be displayed on the RSE. If a disc is present when the RSE power is turned on, the player will automatically begin playing the disc and the user will need to press the AUX button on the remote control to display and/or hear the auxiliary input signals. Each press of the AUX button on the remote control will switch the system between disc and auxiliary input. The wired headphone volume control will only operate when the DVD player power is turned on and it controls both wired headphone jacks at the same time. See Remote Control later in this section for more information.

Audio Speakers

Audio from the DVD player can only be heard either through the IR headphones or wired headphones (not included). The sound will not come through the vehicle's speakers.

Video Screen

The video screen is located in the overhead console.

To use the video screen, do the following:

1. Push forward on the release button and the screen will fold down.
2. Push the screen away from you and adjust its position as desired.

When the video screen is not in use, push it up into its locked position.

The DVD player and display will continue to operate when the display is in either the up or the down position.

Notice: Avoid directly touching the video screen, as damage may occur. See "Cleaning the Video Screen" later in this section for more information.

DVD Player

The DVD player is located in the overhead console. The DVD player can be controlled by the buttons on the DVD player and by the buttons on the remote control. See Remote Control later in this section for more information.

The DVD player works while the ignition is in RUN or ACCESSORY.

The entertainment system is only compatible with Region 1 DVDs authorized for use in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Bermuda, the Virgin Islands and some islands in the Pacific. On some DVD jackets, you will see the region displayed. Regular audio CDs can also be played by the DVD player. The video screen will default to off when an audio CD is played. Home recorded CDs (CDRs) may not play in this DVD player. Try the audio system's CD player instead.

If an error message appears on the front instrument panel display, see DVD Messages later in this section.

Tips and Troubleshooting Chart

Problem	Recommended Action
No power.	The ignition might be off. The parental control button might have been pressed. (The power LED will flash.)
Disc will not play.	The Input/Title on the remote might be set for auxiliary. The disc is upside down or is not compatible.
No sound.	The volume on the headphones could be too low. Adjust it on the wired headphones on the front panel or the remote. For the wireless headphones, adjust the dial on the right earpiece on the headphones.
The picture is distorted during fast forward or fast reverse.	This is normal for this operation.
The picture does not fill the screen. There are black borders on the top and bottom or on both sides or it looks stretched out.	Quickly press and release the SIZE/ANGLE button on the remote. This will fill the screen. If the screen looks stretched out, press and release the SIZE/ANGLE button again. If there are borders on the top and bottom, the movie may have been made that way for a standard screen. Pressing the SIZE/ANGLE button should fill the sides.
I ejected the disc and tried to take it out, but it was pulled back into the slot.	Eject the disc again.
The language in the audio or on the screen is wrong.	Press and hold the COMP/AUDIO button on the remote. This will access the DVD's main menu. Then follow the prompts.
The remote does not work.	Point the remote directly at the player, but not the screen. The batteries could be dead or put in wrong. If the power button on the player is flashing, the parental control is on, which disables the remote.
I can not hear anything when I lower the volume.	Quickly press and release the COMP/AUDIO button on the remote. This tells you the current default setting. Press and release the COMP/AUDIO button again to choose another setting.
How do I get subtitles on or off?	Press and hold the DISP/S-TITLE buttons on the remote to go to the DVDs main menu. Then follow the prompts.
After stopping the player, I push PLAY but sometimes the DVD starts where I left off and sometimes at the beginning.	Press the STOP button on the remote to resume where the DVD left off. Press the STOP button twice to start the DVD at the beginning. If the power is off and the DVD is still in the player, press and release the PLAY button.
The DVD is playing but there is no picture or sound. The auxiliary medium (video game, camcorder, etc.) is running but there is no picture or sound.	Press the INPUT/TITLE button on the remote to get to auxiliary input. The auxiliary medium's cords could be plugged into the wrong jack.
The audio or video skips or jumps.	The DVD could be dirty or scratched. Try cleaning the DVD.
When I return to the DVD from the system menu, sometimes it plays from the beginning and sometimes from where it left off.	If the STOP button was pressed once, it resumes play from where it left off. If the STOP button was pressed twice, it will start at the beginning of the DVD. However, if a change was made to the menu, the DVD will start from the beginning, even if the STOP button was only pressed once.
The fast forward, fast reverse, previous and next functions do not work.	Some commands that do one thing for DVDs will not always work or perform the same function for audio, CDs or games.
My disc is stuck in the player. The EJECT/LOAD button does not work.	Press the EJECT/LOAD button on the remote, or the STOP/EJECT button on the DVD player. Turn the power off, then on again. Do not attempt to forcibly remove the disc from the player.
I lost the remote and/or the headphones.	See your dealer for assistance.
What is the best way to clean the screen?	Pour some isopropyl or rubbing alcohol on a clean cloth and wipe.
Sometimes the wireless headphone audio cuts out or buzzes for a moment then it comes back.	This could be caused by interference from cell towers or by using your cell phone in the vehicle.
