System Description [12/2019 - 10/2022]

  1. OUTLINE 
    • The Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) system allows the front and rear seat occupants to select different audio-visual modes at the same time.
    • The rear seat occupants can control the audio-visual modes with the rear switch and volume assembly and listen to the audio using wireless headphones and speakers.
    • AVC-LAN communication is used between the television display assembly and radio and display receiver assembly (for 8 Inch Display).
    • AVC-LAN communication is used between the television display assembly and radio receiver assembly (for 12.3 Inch Display).
    • The rear seat "DLNA" function is directly connected to the rear seat player via "Wi-Fi" and can display content data stored on a smartphone or tablet on the television display assembly.
    • The rear seat "Miracast" function is directly connected to the rear seat player via "Wi-Fi" and can display a smartphone or tablet on the television display assembly.

      HINT: 

      • "Miracast" is a registered trademark of the Wi-Fi Alliance.
      • "Wi-Fi" is a registered trademark of the Wi-Fi Alliance.
      • "DLNA" is a registered trademark of the Digital Living Network Alliance.
      • "Bluetooth" is a registered trademark of the Bluetooth SIG, Inc.
      • "DLNA", "Miracast", "Bluetooth" and other "Wi-Fi" use the same 2.4 GHz band radio waves. As a result, if Bluetooth audio and "Miracast" are connected at the same time delays in operation speed and connection drops, etc., may occur.

  3. DISC PLAYER OUTLINE 
    1. A disc player uses a laser pickup to read digital signals recorded on CDs, DVDs or BDs. By converting the digital signals to analog, music and other content can be played.
      WARNING:

      Do not look directly at the laser pickup because the disc player uses an invisible laser beam. Be sure to operate the player only as instructed.

      NOTE:
      • Do not disassemble any part of the disc player.
      • Do not apply oil to the disc player.
      • Do not insert anything but a CD, a DVD or a BD into the disk player.
    2. Usable discs

    3. Precautions for use of discs
      NOTE:
      • Copy-protected CDs cannot be played.
      • CD-Rs, CD-RWs, DVD-Rs or DVD-RWs may not be played depending on the recording conditions or characteristics of the discs, or due to damage, dirt, or deterioration caused by leaving the discs in the cabin for a long time.
      • Unfinalized CD-Rs, CD-RWs, DVD-Rs and DVD-RWs cannot be played.
      • NTSC and PAL discs can be played.
      • Dual Discs that mate DVD recorded material on one side with CD digital audio material on the other cannot be played.
      • Keep discs away from dirt. Be careful not to damage discs or leave fingerprints on them.
      • Hold discs by the outer edge and center hole with the label side up.
      • Leaving a disc exposed halfway out of the slot for a long time after pressing the disc eject button may cause deformation of the disc, making the disc unusable.
      • If discs have adhesive tape, stickers, disc labels, or any traces of such labels attached, the discs may not be ejected or player malfunctions may result.
      • Keep discs away from direct sunlight. (Exposure to direct sunlight may cause deformation of the disc, making the disc unusable.)
      • Do not use odd-shaped disks because they may cause player malfunctions.
      • Do not use discs whose recording portion is transparent or translucent because they may not be inserted, ejected, or played normally.
      • Use only 4.7 in. (12 cm) discs.
      • Do not use 3 in. (8 cm) CDs, either with or without adapters.
      • Blu-ray 3DTM discs can only be played in 2D.
      • This system can play DVDs that store data recorded in the AVCHD format.

      HINT: 

      • When it is cold or raining, if the windows fog up, mist and condensation may form in the player. In such a case, a disc may skip or stop in the middle of play. Ventilate or dehumidify the cabin for a while before using the player.
      • The disk may skip if the player experiences strong vibrations when the vehicle is driven on rough road or similar uneven surfaces.
    4. Cleaning
      NOTE:

      Do not use a lens cleaner because it may cause a malfunction in the pickup portion of the player.

      1. If dirt is on the disc surface, wipe it clean with a soft dry cloth such as an eyeglass cleaner for plastic lenses from the inside to the outside in a radial direction.

        NOTE:
        • Pressing on the disc by hand or rubbing the disc with a hard cloth may scratch the disc surface.
        • Use of solvents such as record spray, antistatic agents, alcohol, benzine, thinners or a chemical cloth may cause damage to the disc, making the disc unusable.
  4. COMMUNICATION SYSTEM 
    1. AVC-LAN Outline

      1. Components of the rear seat entertainment system communicate with each other via the AVC-LAN communication.
      2. The AVC-LAN uses a twisted pair of wires for its communication lines.
      3. The master unit of the AVC-LAN is the radio and display receiver assembly (for 8 Inch Display).

        The master unit of the AVC-LAN is the radio receiver assembly (for 12.3 Inch Display).

        HINT: 

        • The radio and display receiver assembly has the resistance (60 to 80 Ω) necessary for communication (for 8 Inch Display).

          The radio receiver assembly has the resistance (60 to 80 Ω) necessary for communication (for 12.3 Inch Display).
