visible on the radio’s display for that channel, and the
shared icon will be visible on the VES™ screen. When in
shared mode, the same audio source is heard in the
shared headphone channel 1 or channel 2.
If the radio functions (FM, AM, or SAT) are in the shared
mode with the VES™, only the radio is able to control the
radio functions. In this case, VES™ can share the radio
mode, but not change stations until the radio mode is
changed to a mode that is different from the VES™
selected radio mode. When shared, the radio has priority
over the VES™ or all radio modes (FM, AM, and SAT).
The VES™ has the ability to switch tuner (AM/FM),
SEEK, SCAN, TUNE, and recall presets in radio modes as
long as it is not in shared mode.
When in shared disc mode both the radio and the VES™
have control of the video functions. The VES™ has the
ability to control the following video modes:
1. CD: Ability to Fast Forward, Rewind, Scan, and Track
Up/Down.
2. CD Changer (in radio): Ability to Disk Up/Down and
program all listed CD controls (Fast Forward, Rewind,
Scan, and Track Up/Down).
The VES™ can even control radio modes or video modes
while the radio is turned off. The VES™ can access the
radio modes or disc modes by navigating to those modes
on the VES™ and activating a radio mode or disc mode.

Compressed Video Files (DivX)
The Blu-Ray™ Player is capable of playing DivX files
from a CD disc (usually a CD-R, CD-RW) or a DVD disc
(usually a DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW or DVD+RW).
•The Blu-Ray™ Player always uses the file extension to
determine the video format, so DivX files must always
end with the extension “.div”, “divx” or “.avi.” To
prevent incorrect playback, do not use these extensions
for any other types of files.
•For DivX files, only DivX Home Theater Profile Ver.3.0
is supported.
•Any file that is copy protected will not play. The
Blu-Ray™ Player will automatically skip the file and
begin playing the next available file.
•Other compression formats such as Xvid and RMP4
will not play. The Blu-Ray™ Player will automatically
skip the file and begin playing the next available file.

DVD/Blu-ray™/BD Region Codes
The DVD player/Blu-ray™ Player and many DVD/Blu-
ray™ Discs are coded by geographic region. These region
codes must match in order for the disc to play. If the
region code for the DVD/Blu-ray™ Disc does not match
the region code for the player, the disc will stop playing
and a warning will be displayed.
DVD Audio Support
When a DVD-Audio disc is inserted in the DVD player,
the DVD-Audio title on the disc is played by default
(most DVD-Audio discs also have a Video title, but the
Video title is ignored). All multi - channel program
material is automatically mixed down to two channels,
which may result in a lowered apparent volume level. If
you increase the volume level to account for this change
in level, remember to lower the volume before changing
the disc or to another mode.
Recorded Discs
The DVD player will play CD-R and CD-RW discs
recorded in CD-Audio or Video-CD format, or as a
CD-ROM containing MP3, WMA or AAC (Blu-ray™ Disc
Player only) files. The player will also play DVD-Video
content recorded to a DVD-R or DVD-RW disc. DVD-
ROM discs (either pressed or recorded) are not sup-
ported.
If you record a disc using a personal computer, there may
be cases where the DVD player may not be able to play
some or the entire disc, even if it is recorded in a

compatible format and is playable on other players. To
help avoid playback problems, use the following guide-
lines when recording discs.
•Open sessions are ignored. Only sessions that are
closed are playable.
•For multi-session CDs that contain only multiple CD-
Audio sessions, the player will renumber the tracks so
each track number is unique.
•For CD Data (or CD-ROM) discs, always use the
ISO-9660 (Level 1 or Level 2), Joliet, or Romeo format.
Other formats (such as HFS, or others) are not sup-
ported.
•Blu-ray™ Disc Player can extend 2000 files and 255
folders.
•The player recognizes a maximum of 512 files and 99
folders per CD-R and CD-RW disc.
•Mixed media recordable DVD formats will only play
the Video_TS portion of the disc.
•Mixed disc which contains#DivX#will be priority
played on Blu-ray™ Disc Player.
If you are still having trouble writing a disc that is
playable in the DVD player, check with the disc recording
software publisher for more information about burning
playable discs.
The recommended method for labeling recordable discs
(CD-R, CD-RW, and DVD-R) is with a permanent marker.
Do not use adhesive labels as they may separate from the
disc, become stuck, and cause permanent damage to the
DVD player.

playing MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3) and WMA (Win-
dows Media Audio) files from a CD Data disc (usually a
CD-R or CD-RW).
•The DVD player always uses the file extension to
determine the audio format, so MP3 files must always
end with the extension#.mp3#or#.MP3#and WMA
files must always end with the extension#.wma#or
#.WMA.#AAC files must always end with the exten-
sion#aac#or#AAC.#To prevent incorrect playback, do
not use these extensions for any other types of files.

•For Blu-ray™ files, only version 1.0 / 1.1 / 2.2 / 2.3
and 2.4 ID3 tag data (such as artist name, track title,

loaded from many online music stores) will not play.
The DVD player will automatically skip the file and
begin playing the next available file.
•Other compression formats such as AAC, MP3 Pro,
Ogg Vorbis, and ATRAC3 will not play. The DVD
player will automatically skip the file and begin play-
ing the next available file.
•If you are creating your own files, the recommended
fixed bit rate for MP3 files is between 96 and 192 Kbps
and the recommended fixed bit rate for WMA files is

Disc Errors
If the DVD player is unable to read the disc, a#Disc Error#
message is displayed on the Radio display and the disc is
automatically ejected. A dirty, damaged, or incompatible
disc format are all potential causes for a#Disc Error#
message.
If a disc has a damaged track which results in audible or
visible errors that persists for 2.0 seconds, the DVD
player will attempt to continue playing the disc by
skipping forward 1.0 to 3.0 seconds at a time. If the end
of the disc is reached, the DVD player will return to the
beginning of the disc and attempt to play the start of the
first track.
The DVD player may shut down during extremely hot
conditions, such as when the vehicle’s interior tempera-
ture is above 120° F (49° C). The Blu-ray™ Player may
shut down when the vehicle’s interior temperature ex-
ceeds 140° F (60° C). When this occurs, the DVD/Blu-
ray™ Player will display#High Temp#and will shut off
the display until a safe temperature is reached. This
shutdown is necessary to protect the optics of the DVD/
Blu-ray™ Player.
The Blu-ray™ player may require additional reading
time during extremely cold weather conditions. When
this occurs, allow the vehicles interior temperature to
warm, then insert disc into player.
