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. At the same time a wake-up signal is sent to the TV receiver and the TV receiver's green status LED comes on.

When the start-up procedure for the screens has finished and the illuminated buttons on the DVD player, except the POWER button, have gone out the TV receiver's status LED also goes out.

When the system is switched on using e. g. the POWER button on the DVD player the status LED comes on.

When the remote control is directed towards a screen (16/81A, B) and the function button to select the signal source (DVD/AUX/TV) is pressed a menu is displayed. The TV receiver can be selected as the "source" from the menu. When the TV receiver is selected, the last tuned channel is shown. If no channel has been stored a channel menu is shown.

NOTE: The direction of the antenna and the current reception conditions determine the picture quality. If the picture breaks up or freezes, if the audio stutters or if some channels disappear this is probably due to a weak antenna signal. The signal was affected among others by the lay of the land, weather conditions and the position of the vehicle in relation to the TV transmitter, consequently the problem can appear in connection with movements, time of the year, weather conditions.
