Hi,
I recently bought a 2005 Town and Country Limited. The van has the RB1 navigation radio, the 6 disc DVD changer, the DVD monitor on the ceiling in the back, and 2 wireless headphones.
The Problem:
When a DVD is playing, I push the headphone button on the remote control, the headphone icon displays on the RB1 but nothing comes over the headphones.
The headphones have new batteries, the power light comes on and the volume knob on the headphones is turned up.
It appears to me that the headphones are infrared. There is a small dark plastic dome in front of the DVD monitor on the ceiling which is where I believe the infrared signal is transmitted from.
1st Question:
Is there a way to test or see if there is an infrared signal being transmitted from the RB1 system?
I know when you use a digital camera and look at the end of remote control when it is transmitting a code you can see the IR light come on and off when you let the button go. Does that work the same when infrared is being used to send sound?
2nd Question:
For those that have an RB1 with wireless headphones. I read somewhere that when you're watching a DVD and turn the radio on the rear speakers in the van are supposed to turn off so that the kids using the headphones can still hear the DVD while the speakers in the front play the radio station. Does that happen for you? All my speakers will play the radio station while the DVD is still showing on the monitor (that's with the headphones icon showing on the RB1 screen).
Looking for suggestions on where to start troubleshooting. At the rear screen where the IR is transmitted or at the back of the RB1 or the DVD player.
Thanks for any tips.
