REAR SEAT ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM SYSTEM DESCRIPTION


  1. OUTLINE


    • As a unique feature of the rear seat entertainment system, the rear seat occupants can enjoy different audio-visual modes at the same time.

    • The rear seat occupants can control the audio-visual modes with the remote control, and listen to audio by using wired or wireless headphones.

    • The television display assembly receives image and sound signals from the multi-media module receiver assembly.

    • A television display assembly is installed on the roof*1 or center console*2.


      • *1: for Roof

      • *2: for Center Console Side

    • The rear seat occupants can enjoy watching video by connecting an external device.

    • MOST communication is used between the multi-media module receiver assembly and the television display assembly. AVC-LAN communication is used between the television display assembly and disc player assembly.

  3. COMMUNICATION SYSTEM


    1. MOST NETWORK OUTLINE

      A01GKSME04

      1. Audio and visual system components communicate with each other via the MOST communication line.

      2. The MOST communication line uses a shielded twisted pair of wires for its communication lines.

      3. The master unit of the MOST network is the multi-media module receiver assembly.

      4. MOST communication lines connect each slave unit centering around the master unit to form a MOST network ring.

      5. The master unit sends a wake-up signal to activate each slave unit connected to the MOST communication line.

        Tech Tips

        If a short or open circuit occurs in the MOST circuit, communication will be interrupted and the system will not operate normally.

    2. AVC-LAN OUTLINE

      A01GMKOE01

      1. Components of the rear seat entertainment system communicate with each other via the AVC-LAN.

      2. The AVC-LAN uses a twisted pair of wires for its communication lines.

        Tech Tips

        If a short or open circuit occurs in the AVC-LAN circuit, communication is interrupted and system will not operate normally.

  4. DISC PLAYER OUTLINE


    1. A disc player uses a laser pickup to read digital signals recorded on CDs, DVDs or BDs. Audio signals are converted to analog from digital and output to the television display assembly. Other content is output to the television display assembly as digital signals via an HDMI cable.

      CAUTION:

      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 disc 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.

      • SECAM color television standard discs cannot be played (only PAL and NTSC discs can be played).

      • DualDiscs that mate DVD recorded material on one side with CD digital audio material on the other cannot be played.

      • Keep the discs away from dirt. Be careful not to damage the discs or leave fingerprints on them.

      • Hold discs by the outer edge and center hole with the label side up.

      • Leaving the 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, labels, or any traces of such labels attached, the discs may not be ejected or player malfunctions may result.

      • Keep the discs away from direct sunlight. (Exposure to direct sunlight may cause deformation of the disc, making the disc unusable.)

      • Do not use odd-shaped discs because these 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) CDs.

      • Do not use 3 in. (8 cm) CDs, either with or without adapters.

      • This system can play DVDs that store data recorded in the AVCHD format.

      Tech Tips


      • When it is cold or it is raining, if the windows mist up, mist and condensation may form in the player. In such a case, the disc may skip or the disc may stop in the middle of play. Ventilate or dehumidify the cabin for a while before using the player.

      • The disc may skip if the player experiences strong vibrations when the vehicle is driven on a rough road or similar uneven surfaces.

    4. Check disc


      1. A01GLRD

        Check that the disc is not deformed or cracked.

    5. Disc cleaning

      Note

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


      1. A01GLHO

        If dirt is on the disc surface, wipe it clean with a soft cloth 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 solvent such as a record spray, antistatic agent, alcohol, benzine, and thinner or a chemical cloth may cause damage to the disc, making the disc unusable.
