UCONNECT™ MULTIMEDIA VIDEO
ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM (VES)™
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
Your rear seat Video Entertainment System (VES)™ is
designed to give your family years of enjoyment. You
can play your favorite CDs or DVDs, listen to audio
over the wireless headphones, or plug and play a variety
of standard video games or audio devices. Please re-
view this Owner's Manual to become familiar with its
features and operation.
System Overview
The rear seat Video Entertainment System (VES)™
consists of:
• Your vehicle may be equipped a single LCD overheadconsole screen system.
• One infrared remote control to allow rear seat audio and video control function capability of the VES™.
• Two infrared wireless dual channel headphones for rear passenger listening.
• Auxiliary RCA audio/video inputs (AUX jacks) for listening and viewing of other consumer electronic
device media such as MP3 players or video games.
• Radio capable of playing DVDs.
Video Entertainment System (VES)™
This manual is intended to aid with the operation of the
rear seat Video Entertainment System (VES)™. The Video Entertainment System (VES)™ expands the
vehicle’s audio and video capabilities so that rear pas-
sengers can enjoy movies, music and external audio/
video devices such as video games or MP3 players. The
VES™ integrates seamlessly with the vehicle’s radio so
the audio may be heard through the cabin speakers
and/or headphones. The system may be controlled by
the radio for front seat occupants or controlled by the
remote control for rear seat occupants.
The VES™ is a dual channel system. The video screen
displays information in a split screen format. The left
side of the screen is referred to as Channel 1 and the
right side of the screen is referred to as Channel 2. All
modes except video modes (DVD video, Aux video)
are displayed in a split screen format. When a video
mode is displayed it is displayed on the full screen. The
remote control is designed to control either channel by
the use of the selector switch located on the right side
of the remote control. The headphones are designed
to listen to either channel by use of the selector switch
located on the right ear cup.
Using the included dual channel wireless headphones,
the VES™ allows rear passengers to listen to two
different audio sources simultaneously. The wireless
remote control allows rear passengers to change sta-
tions, tracks, discs and audio/video modes.

Playing A Disc On The VES™
The following actions occur automatically when a disc
is inserted into the radio on a single screen system and
into the remote DVD player on a two screen system:
• If the video screen is in the open position (the LCDscreen is visible), then the screen turns on and the
wireless headphone transmitter turns on. If the video
screen is closed, the wireless headphone transmitter
must be turned on by using the power button on the
remote control (headphones only receive audio sig-
nals if the headphones are powered on).
• After the disc is inserted, the disc begins playing to cabin speakers, wireless headphones, and rear video
screens.
Shared Modes
The VES™ and radio are capable of communicating
with each other. This allows the VES™ to output radio
audio to the headphones and the radio to output
VES™ audio to the vehicle speakers. When the radio
and VES™ are in the same (shared) mode, a VES™ icon will be visible on the radio’s display and the shared icon
will be visible on the VES™ screen. When in shared
mode, the same audio source is heard in the head-
phones and vehicle speakers simultaneously.
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/MW/LW), SEEK, TUNE, and recall pre-
sets in radio modes as long as it is not in shared mode.
When in shared disc or satellite video mode both the
radio and the VES™ have control of the video func-
tions. The VES™ has the ability to control the follow-
ing video modes:
1. CD: Ability to Fast Forward, Rewind, and Track
Up/Down.
2. CD Changer (in radio): Ability to Disk Up/Down and program all listed CD controls (Fast Forward,
Rewind, 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.

Disc Features control the remote DVD player's (for
versions/markets, where provided) 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:
• Set the audio to the desired source and channel.
• Close the video screen.
• To change the current audio mode, press the remotecontrol’s MODE button. This will automatically se-
lect the next available audio mode without using the
Mode Select menu.
• When the screen is reopened, the video screen will automatically turn back on and show the appropriate
display menu or media.
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, press 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. Why Does The Screen Mode Change
Automatically?
In order to make the operation of the VES™ simple
and with the least amount of driver distraction, specific
events will cause the screen(s) to automatically switch
to DVD mode. These events are:
• Loading a disc in the DVD player (if so equipped),
• Pressing the PLAY button on the DVD player face-
plate when the disc is stopped or paused, or
• AM/FM band selection via Radio.
If your vehicle is not equipped with the separate DVD
player, the following events in the Radio will cause the
screen(s) to automatically switch to Radio Disc mode.
• Loading a disc in the radio CD/DVD player
• AM/FM band selection via Radio
Auxiliary Inputs
For each video screen there is an auxiliary (Aux jack)
device input which is used to connect external audio/
video sources to the VES™. Examples of devices that
can be connected to the Aux inputs include portable
music players, video cameras, VCR’s, game systems,
and other devices with audio and/or video outputs.
The Aux jacks are typically located on the back of the
center console or on one of the vehicles side panels in
the rear occupant area.

CD/DVD DISC MAINTENANCE
To keep a CD/DVD in good condition, take the follow-
ing precautions:
1. Handle the disc by its edge; avoid touching thesurface.
2. If the disc is stained, clean the surface with a soft cloth, wiping from center to edge.
3. Do not apply paper or tape to the disc; avoid scratching the disc.
4. Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, clean- ers, or anti-static sprays.
5. Store the disc in its case after playing.
6. Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight.
7. Do not store the disc where temperatures may become too high.
NOTE: If you experience difficulty in playing a par-
ticular disc, it may be damaged (i.e., scratched, reflec-
tive coating removed, a hair, moisture or dew on the
disc) oversized, or have protection encoding. Try a
known good disc before considering disc player ser-
vice. RADIO OPERATION AND MOBILE PHONES
Under certain conditions, the mobile phone being on in
your vehicle can cause erratic or noisy performance
from your radio. This condition may be lessened or
eliminated by relocating the mobile phone antenna.
This condition is not harmful to the radio. If your radio
performance does not satisfactorily “clear” by the
repositioning of the antenna, it is recommended that
the radio volume be turned down or off during mobile
phone operation.
