General Description
Video System
The function of the rear seat multimedia system is to provide audio and video entertainment for the rear seat passengers.
It will provide control of a number of audio and video sources and channel the output independently to the rear left and rear right seat passengers via personal headphones and video screens, or allow output over the main vehicle audio speaker system.
The multimedia system includes the following components:
1. A passenger entertainment control panel (mounted in the rear seat center armrest/console).
2. Two 6.5 inches video display screens (mounted in the back of the front headrests).
3. A DVD video player (mounted in the luggage compartment).
NOTE: The DVD player is region specific and will only play DVD's of the correct region for the DVD player.
4. A video system module (mounted behind the rear seat backrest).
5. A microswitch is fitted to the rear armrest/console lid which will switch off the illumination to the passenger entertainment control panel when the lid is closed.
6. Two headphone sets (Jaguar accessory).
The system features available on a vehicle will depend on the particular vehicle specification.
There are 3 basic system levels:
a) Audio only.
b) Audio and video display screens.
c) Audio, video display screens and DVD video player.
System level a) provides rear seat audio entertainment only.
System level b) has audio/video capability.
System level c) has audio/video capability and includes a dedicated DVD movie player located in the luggage compartment.
The system will allow the rear passengers to control the main vehicle audio system functions and have the facility to connect 2 sets of headphones for private listening. The headphone sockets are incorporated into the passenger entertainment control panel.
The 6.5 inches video display screens mounted in the front seat headrests can display video pictures from a number of sources, which can be selected using the passenger entertainment control panel. Signal sources available include the vehicle TV tuner (if specified), navigation screen display (duplication of the front screen), and a DVD video player (if specified). In addition to this the system is equipped with 2 sets of audio/video (auxiliary) inputs that will provide the facility to connect external audio/video media e.g. camcorder, or home video games console.
Each of the audio/video sources described above are independently switchable to either one or both of the headphones and video display screens.
