batteries.

not received an infrared audio signal from the Family Entertainment
System (FES).
Note:Ensure that the line of sight between the headphone and infrared
transmitter (mounted on the DVD housing) is not obstructed for optimal
performance.

The LCD screen rotates down and can be adjusted to your desired
viewing angle. When not in use, rotate the screen up into the storage

•If the Family Entertainment System (FES) is playing and the ignition
is turned OFF, the system will turn off, and suspend playback. When
the ignition is turned on again, playback will begin from the last
selected media source when the play control is pressed.
•To disable the DVD player rear controls, simultaneously press the 3
and 5 memory presets on the radio face. To enable the DVD player
rear controls again, press the 3 and 5 presets simultaneously.
•The DVD player is only capable of reading the bottom side of a disc.
When inserting a single sided disc, the label should be up. For a
multi-sided disc, the desired play side should be down when the disc
is inserted into the player.
•DVDs are formatted by regions. This DVD system can only play region
1 DVDs (DVDs manufactured for U.S. and Canada).
This unit is designed to play commercially pressed 4.75 (12 cm)
audio compact discs and DVDs only. Due to technical
incompatibility, certain recordable and re-recordable compact
discs may not function correctly when used in Ford DVD/CD
players. Irregular shaped discs, discs with a scratch protection
film attached, and discs with homemade paper (adhesive) labels
should not be inserted into the player. The label may peel and
cause the disc to become jammed. It is recommended that
homemade discs be identified with permanent felt tip marker
rather than adhesive labels. Ball point pens may damage discs.
Please contact your dealer for further information.
Inserting a CD/DVD
With the ignition ON, inserting a CD/DVD into the DVD player
automatically turns ON the FES and playback should begin immediately.
The counter is automatically reset to 0:00:00 when any disc is inserted
into the FES.
Removing a CD/DVD (while playing)
1. Press the STOP/EJECT control to stop playback if a disc is playing.
2. Press the STOP/EJECT control again to eject the CD/DVD.
If the CD/DVD is not removed within the allotted time, the system will
pull the CD/DVD back into the system for safety purposes.
If the CD/DVD will not eject from the system, press and hold the EJECT
control for approximately 2 seconds. The disc should eject whether the
vehicle ignition is ON or OFF.
Playing an auxiliary device
1. Connect the video line from your video device to the YELLOW
auxiliary input jack.
