The audio/video adaptor allows the connection of audio and video signals from an external device such as a camcorder, video game console or MP3 player to the rear seat entertainment system. The middle jack is for left audio (white), the right jack is for right audio (red), and the left jack is for video (yellow). The system requires standard RCA cables to connect your external device to the RCA jacks. The auxiliary audio and video circuits are connected to the radio.
Verify the external audio or video device is operating normally before performing this diagnostic procedure.
