Important Notice
It is unlawful in most jurisdictions for a person to drive a motor vehicle
which is equipped with a television viewer or screen that is located in
the motor vehicle at any point forward of the back of the driver’s seat, or
that is visible, directly or indirectly, to the driver while operating your
vehicle. In the interest of safety, do not install the unit where it is visible,
directly or indirectly, by the operator of the motor vehicle. If your vehicle
is equipped with a wireless rear seat audio system or any other wireless
infrared device, power the system off in order to operate the DVD
headrest system. If the system is on, the two systems may interfere with
each other canceling out or creating undesirable audio through the
wireless headphones.
Safety Precaution
For safety reasons:
•Do not change discs while your vehicle is moving.
•Do not allow children to unfasten their safety belts to change discs or
make changes to the system.
•Make changes with the remote control, while safety belts remain
fastened.
Enjoy your entertainment system, but remember that safety of your
passengers is the highest priority.
Wireless Headphones
This unit includes a built-in dual channel infrared transmitter for use
with your wireless headphones. You can change headphone volume using
the individual controls on each headset. To use wireless headphones
effectively, you must maintain line-of-sight between headphones and
transmitter. Allowing obstructions to come between headphone and
transmitter, or body motions that allow the user to conceal the
headphone from the transmitter (like reaching or bending), adversely
affect audio performance. Infrared transmission, like visible light, travels
only in a straight line.

Wired Headphones
You can use any standard stereo headphones by plugging them into the
1/8–inch (3.5 millimeter) headphone jack on each of the headrest DVD
systems. Remove and save the protective plastic cover to access the
jacks. Remember to replace the cover when the jacks are not in use.
A/V Input
You can connect an external audio/video device that uses common RCA
interface cables to the Ford DVD system, such as a video game device or
VCR. Connect the device RCA cables to the AV RCA INPUT jacks
according to color: yellow for video, red for right audio and white for left
audio. The signal from the external audio/video source overrides other
video sources for that monitor.
Wireless FM Transmitter
Your device has an internal FM transmitter. This allows you to listen to
the DVD player audio signal by tuning your vehicle FM radio to a radio
frequency that you select, then accessing the SOUND-AROUND feature
by using the remote control. SOUND-AROUND allows the user to choose
from a number of pre-programmed frequencies to play back the rear-seat
entertainment system audio over the radio. When you engage
SOUND-AROUND, as long as the DVD player is active, it adversely
affects the FM radio reception of other stations, especially neighboring
stations nearest to whichever station is in use for the DVD player.
Performance of SOUND-AROUND varies based on geographic location.
You may need to change the SOUND-AROUND frequency periodically
when travelling long distances. This helps maintain the best performance
when listening to DVD system content over the radio. Audio heard
through wireless headphones remains unaffected by SOUND-AROUND.
There may also be a reduction in AM radio performance as well. AM and
FM radio performance can be expected to return to normal when the
DVD system is turned off.
How to use the FM Transmitter
1. Switch on the system and place a disc in Monitor A.
2. Point the remote control at the monitor, and then press DVD A.
3. PressSOUND AROUND ON/OFFto turn FM transmission off and
on.
4. Select a radio frequency (88.3, 88.7, 89.1, 89.5, 89.9, and 90.3MHz)
by pressingSOUND AROUND SELECT.
5. Select a frequency, and then tune your radio to the corresponding
frequency. Try each station frequency until you achieve a clear audio
signal.

Remote Control
Note:The remote control uses infrared light to send commands to the
DVD player, just as many home video systems do. Just point the remote
control at the DVD player infrared window located above each screen in
order to control that DVD player. While you can connect a second device
such as a VCR through the auxiliary inputs, and view the playback on
the screen, you cannot control that device by aiming its remote control
at the Ford DVD player. The Ford DVD system remote control is the
only remote control you can use with the system. For example, if you
connect a VCR to the DVD system, you must point the VCR remote
control at the VCR to control it.
Installing the Battery
Before using your remote control, install the batteries as follows:
1. Turn the remote control face down. Press down on the ridged area of
the battery cover and slide it off.
2. Install two AAA batteries. Make sure you install the batteries
properly, with the + and – facing the correct way, as shown in the
battery compartment.
3. Slide the cover back until it clicks.

Note:Different types of batteries have different characteristics. Do not
mix different types.
Note:Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries
can shorten battery life and cause chemical leaks from the old batteries.
Note:Keep the batteries out of the reach of children. If someone
swallows a battery, immediately consult a doctor. When you dispose of
used batteries, keep to governmental regulations or environmental public
institution rules that apply in your area.
Note:Remove the batteries if the remote control is not used for a month
or longer.

discs may stop spinning, causing a system malfunction, or ruining the
disc.

•Do not use any discs with labels or stickers attached. The following
malfunctions may result from using such discs:
•The system cannot eject a disc due to a label or sticker peeling off
and jamming the eject mechanism.
•The system cannot read audio data correctly, such as playback
skipping or no playback at all, due to heat shrinking of a sticker or
label causing the disc to warp.
•Before playing a disc, clean it with a commercially available cleaning
cloth. Wipe each disc from the center out. Do not use solvents such
