different audio-visual modes at the same time.

The rear seat occupants can control the audio-visual modes with the remote controller, and listen to
the audio using wireless headphones.

The RSE system is controlled by the television display, and the communication between the audio
head unit and the television display is established via an AVC-LAN (Audio Visual
Communication-Local Area Network).

containing a mixture of CD data (CD-DA files) and MP3 data.
