Main Menu Table Of Contents Rear Entertainment System Available on U.S. Entertainment Package and Canadian Elite Package models Your vehicle is equipped with a rear entertainment system that includes a DVD player for the enjoyment of the rear passengers. With this system, the rear passengers can enjoy a different entertainment source (radio, disc changer, DVD player, XM Radio, or optional CD changer/tape player) than the front seat occupants. The audio is broadcast through the supplied wireless headphones. The ignition switch must be in the ACCESSORY (I) or the ON (II) position to operate the rear entertainment system. To Turn On the System Press the REAR PWR button. The indicator on the REAR PWR button will come on, as well as the indicator on the FRONT SOURCE button. The rear seat passengers can then operate the rear system from the control panel in the ceiling. The rear control panel can also be detached and used as a remote control, by pushing the RELEASE button, and pulling the remote toward you. Pressing the REAR CTRL OFF button disables rear control. The indicator in the button comes on and your passengers can no longer operate the system with the rear control panel. When the button is pressed, the ''CTRL OFF'' message appears in the overhead screen to let your passengers know that the control panel is disabled. The rear system selects the source it was last set to. If that source has been removed (the DVD has been ejected from the player, for example), you will see ''DVD EJECT'' in the display. You should select another source or insert a DVD. Rear Speakers When you turn on the system, the rear speakers are automatically turned off if the rear system selects a different entertainment source than the front system. You will see the Rear Speakers Off icon both in the audio display and the overhead screen. The sound for the rear system is sent to the wireless headphones. If you want to turn the rear speakers on again, press and hold the REAR PWR button until the Rear Speakers Off icon goes off. NOTE: The rear speakers are connected to the front system, so they will always play the source that the front system is set to. Features CONTINUED 237 2008 MDX
