Infrared (Ir) Control
Each screen houses an IR receiver. The IR receivers are directly connected to the rear seat entertainment module (RSE) (16/82) and are activated when the rear seat entertainment module (RSE) is supplied power. When a button is pressed on the remote control, it emits a signal with infrared light. The coding of this signal varies depending on which button was pressed. The IR signal is received by the IR receiver below the respective head restraint screen (16/81A, B) and is forwarded to the rear seat entertainment module (RSE) for processing.
The remote control can be used to switch between different audio and/or video inputs in the system:
- DVD player, audio/video
- AUX input, audio or audio/video
- Audio from the front audio system to one of the headphones, both headphones or separately to one of the headphones and the rear speakers
- Audio/video from a TV receiver (if installed) to one or both screens.
Selection is carried by pointing the remote control towards the screen to be commanded. Depending on which of the two screens that received the command, the Rear seat entertainment module (RSE) selects AV or audio source for the screen. The remote control can then be pointed to the other screen to select the source for that screen.
