Rear Seat Entertainment Module (RSE)
Wired headset not supplied by Volvo.
The rear seat entertainment system is supplied with electric power and is controlled by the rear seat entertainment module (RSE) (16/109).
The system is powered via a 30 supply. If the system is in operation and the ignition is switched off and a door is opened, the system switches off.
When the vehicle is started, each screen must be started manually using the button under the relevant screen. Then the screens can be switched off and on via the keypad on the Climate control module (CCM).
Via the keypad on the Climate control module (CCM) it is possible to choose which of the screens is to be controlled and which screen is to show the image from the selected image source. It is also possible to lock playback of programs that are not suitable for certain ages.
When the ignition is switched on the Rear seat entertainment module (RSE) performs a basic internal system check and starts the start-up procedure with the screens.
For further information, see: SYSTEM START-UP PROCEDURE
If the system is to be switched on using the remote control, the ignition must be switched on and the remote control must be pointed at one of the screens before any buttons are depressed, the receiver for the signals from the remote control is located on the lower edge of the screens.
To control a screen with the remote control, the relevant screen must be selected via a button on the remote control (Left, Front, Right). Select Front to control the Climate control module (CCM).
If, for example, you press a menu selection button, a menu opens on the screen at which the remote control was aimed. The possible selections are described below:
- Independent shifting of three audio/video inputs (DVD, TV (if installed) and AUX).
- Image adjustment (image color, brightness, contrast and aspect ratio).
- Audio settings (bass, treble and volume).
- Language selection for on-screen instructions.
- Switch individual screens ON/OFF.
- Service menu to reach settings such as selection of region code, TV receiver, etc.
The rear seat entertainment module (RSE) also determines which media source has been linked to the selected screen and forwards the commands in the suitable protocol.
If, for example, the left screen is set for DVD-playback and an infrared play command is detected at the left screen, the message is received, saved and forwarded to the DVD-player (16/109) in the DVD-player's infrared protocol.
A fixed memory saves the displayed instruction language used and the current audio and video settings for the respective output channel. These settings are loaded upon start-up with the exception of volume level, which is set to low as standard.
When a DVD disc is inserted in the opening DVD playback starts automatically if the DVD disc does not have a disc menu.
DVD playback can resume from a paused position, for example, if the ignition was switched off when watching a movie. In this case playback continues from the last position when the ignition is switched on again. The audio and video signals are fed out from the DVD player from the connection block (ISO connection) at the rear of the device.
