Infrared (Ir) Control
Each screen houses an IR-receiver. The IR-receivers are connected to the rear seat entertainment module (RSE) (16/109) 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
- AV-panel, audio or audio/video
- Audio/video from a TV receiver (if installed) to one or both screens.
Selection is performed by aiming the remote control at the screen where the command is to be executed.
Depending on which of the two screens that received the command, the Rear seat entertainment module (RSE) will select AV- or audio source for that screen. Then the remote control can be aimed at the other screen to select source for that screen.
