Radios with CD, DVD, and USB

Radios with CD, DVD, and USB have a Bose® Surround Sound System. Some of the features are explained later in this section under “Adjusting the Speakers (Balance/Fade).” If the vehicle has a Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) system, it has a CD, DVD, and USB radio.

See Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) System  for more information on the RSE system.

The DVD player is the top slot on the radio faceplate. The player is capable of reading the DTS programmed DVD Audio or DVD Video media. DTS and DTS Digital Surround are registered trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.

Radios with CD and DVD fade differently depending on the DVD Media type:

► With DVD-A 5.1 Surround media, the left front and right front speakers fade rearward, leaving the center front speakers unaffected until the last fade step, then all front speakers mute.

► With DVD-V 5.1 Surround media, surround sound is maintained until Step 4 of the Fade control is reached while fading rearward. At that point the audio system output changes to Stereo to prevent the loss of Center channel output when the full rearward fade position is reached.

If the Rear Seat Audio (RSA) is turned on, the radio disables FADE and mutes the rear speakers.
