•Always save MP3 files with the .mp3 extension. The player recognizes
an MP3 file by the .mp3 extension, so MP3 files saved with different
extensions will not be played. Never save a non-MP3 file with the
.mp3 extension as the file will not play properly.
•The player supports multi session discs. However, be sure to import
the previous session of the disc before you add new files. If you do not
import the previous session, only the last session will be played.
•When burning a disc,ensure that you close/finalize the disc
before playback, or the disc may not play properly or an error
message may appear.
•Some CD-RW discs may operate inconsistently and may cause an error
message to appear. We recommend burning MP3 files onto CD-R discs.
Family Entertainment DVD System protection circuits

•Excessively high temperatures may cause damage to the DVD player.
•When the temperature of the DVD player becomes too hot, the high
temperature sensor circuit stops machine operation. DVD/CD HOT will
be displayed on the radio display.
•The DVD player will remain disabled until it cools to a normal
operating temperature. The length of time for the system to cool will
vary depending on the climate and operating conditions.
Operating
•Only use the system when the vehicle is started for optimal
performance and to maintain battery life.
•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.
