Products: Rear Seat Entertainment System (RSE)

RSE is a system that a-llows rear-seat passengers to view video. An option most often offered on mini-vans and SUVs, but it is also used in Major Sedans. Earlier entertainment systems played VHS video tapes, but most of the current ones play DVDs. Most have a screen that drops from the ceiling behind the front seats; others locate the screen near the floor between the front seats. The video/DVD player is mounted low in the dashboard or between the front seats or in the front center console. (A few vehicles, such as the Toyota Land Cruiser and Lexus LX 470, can play DVDs on their navigation system’s dashboard screen, but only when the vehicle is standing still.)

Most systems allow front-seat passengers to listen to a separate audio source while those in back view videos. Remote controls for the video/DVD player, wireless headphones, and video-game ports and controls are typical accessories.

These are just a few things that HTK has learned and taken in mind since it started developing RSE systems almost 10 years ago.
