System Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lexus RX 350. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. OUTLINE 
    • As a unique feature of the Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) system, the front and rear seat occupants can enjoy different audio-visual modes at the same time. Thus, this system offers enhanced entertainment to the rear seat occupants.
    • The rear seat occupants can control the audio-visual modes with the remote controller (switch assembly), and listen to the audio using wired or wireless headphones.
    • The RSE system is controlled by the television display assembly, and the communication between the audio head unit or multi-display and the television display assembly is established via an AVC-LAN (Audio Visual Communication-Local Area Network).
    • The RSE system can play discs recorded entirely in the MP3 format, as well as music discs containing a mixture of GD data (CD-DA files) and MP3 data.

    HINT:

    MP3 is short for MPEG1 (Moving Picture Expert Group Phase 1) & 2 Audio Layer 3.

    It is an audio compression standard set by a working group (MPEG) of the ISO (International Standards Organization). MP3 is able to compress audio data to about 1/10 the level of a conventional disc.
