erage to allow them to adjust the headphone volume for
the young rear seat occupants that may not be able to do so
for themselves.
If no audio is heard after increasing the volume control,
verify that the screen is turned on and in the down position
and that the channel is not muted. If audio is still not heard,
check that fully charged batteries are installed in the
headphones.

System Information
Shared Modes

This allows the VES to output radio sources to the headphones
and the radio to output
VES sources to the vehicle speakers.

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 SA T). 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.
422 MULTIMEDIA

2. CD Changer (in radio): Ability to Disk Up/Down andprogram 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.
Station List Menu
When listening to Satellite audio, pushing the remote
control’s POP UP/MENU button displays a list of all
available channels. Navigate this list using the remote
control’s navigation buttons (, ) to find the desired
station, push the remote control’s ENTER/OK button to
tune to that station. To jump through the list more quickly,
navigate to the Page Up and Page Down icons on the
screen.
Disc Menu
When listening to a CD Audio or CD Data disc, pushing
the remote control’s POP UP/MENU button displays a list
of all commands which control playback of the disc. Using
the options you can activate or cancel Scan play and
Random play.
Display Settings
When watching a video source (DVD Video with the disc
in Play mode, Aux Video, etc.), pushing the remote con-
trol’s SETUP button activates the Display Settings menu.
These settings control the appearance of the video on the
screen. The factory default settings are already set for
optimum viewing, so there is no need to change these
settings under normal circumstances.
To change the settings, push the remote control’s naviga-
tion buttons (, ) to select an item, then push the remote
control’s navigation buttons (, ) to change the value for
the currently selected item. To reset all values back to the
original settings, select the Default Settings menu option
and press the remote control’s ENTER/OK button.
Disc Features control the remote DVD settings of DVD
being watched in the remote player.
Listening To Audio With The Screen Closed
To listen to only audio portion of the channel with the
screen closed:
1. Set the audio to the desired source and channel.
2. Close the video screen.
10
MULTIMEDIA 423

3. To change the current audio mode, push the remotecontrol’s MODE button. This will automatically select
the next available audio mode without using the
MODE/SOURCE Select menu.
If the screen is closed and there is no audio heard, verify
that the headphones are turned on (the ON indicator is
illuminated) and the headphone selector switch is on the
desired channel. If the headphones are turned on, push the
remote control’s power button to turn audio on. If audio is
still not heard, check that fully charged batteries are
installed in the headphones.
Disc Formats
The DVD player is capable of playing the following types
of discs (12 cm or 8 cm diameter):
• DVD-Video discs (MPEG-2 video compression) (see
notes about DVD Region Codes)
• DVD-Audio discs (2 channel audio output only)
• Audio Compact Discs (CDs)
• CD Data discs with MP3 and WMA compressed audio
format files
• Video CDs (MPEG-1 video compression) DVD Region Codes
The DVD player and many DVD 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 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 auto-
matically 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 re-
corded in CD-Audio or Video-CD format, or as a CD-ROM
containing MP3, WMA. 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
supported.
424 MULTIMEDIA

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 compat-
ible format and is playable on other players. To help avoid
playback problems, use the following guidelines 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 supported.
• 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.
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.
Compressed Audio Files (MP3 / WMA and ACC)
The DVD is capable of playing MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer
3) and WMA (Windows 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 .mp3or.MP3 and WMA files
must always end with the extension .wmaor.WMA.
AAC files must always end with the extension aacor
AAC. To prevent incorrect playback, do not use these
extensions for any other types of files.
• For MP3 files, only version 1 ID3 tag data (such as artist
name, track title, album, etc.) are supported.
• Any file that is copy protected (such as those down-
loaded from many online music stores) will not play. The
DVD player will automatically skip the file and begin
playing the next available file.
10
MULTIMEDIA 425

•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 playing 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
between 64 and 192 Kbps. Variable bit rates are also
supported. For both formats, the recommended sample
rate is either 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.
• To change the current file, use the DVD player ’s 
button to advance to the next file, or the button to
return to the start of the current or previous file.
• To change the current directory, use the remote control’s
PROG UP and Down buttons or Rewind/skip back and
fast fwd/skip forward. 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 temperature
is above 120° F (49° C). When this occurs, the DVD 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.

Rating And Password Setup
The Rating and Password settings work together to control
the types of DVDs that your family watches. Most DVD-
Video discs have a rating (from 1 to 8) assigned to them
where lower numbers are designated for all audiences and
higher numbers are designated for more adult audiences.
When a DVD-Video disc is loaded, its rating is compared to
the setting in the DVD player. If the rating of the disc is
higher than the setting in the player, a Password screen is
displayed. In order to watch the disc, the rear passenger
must enter the correct password using the password entry
method described below.
To play all discs without requiring a password, set the
DVD player ’s rating to Level 8. Setting the rating to Level
1 always requires the password to play any DVD disc. Not
all DVD discs encode a Rating, so it is still possible that
discs designed for adult audiences can still play without
requiring a password. The default rating is Level 8 (play all discs without a
password) and the default password is 0000.
