SYSTEM (VES™) — IF
EQUIPPED
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 head-
phones, or plug and play a variety of standard
video games or audio devices. Please review
this Owner’s Manual to become familiar with its
features and operation.
System OverviewThe rear seat Video Entertainment System
(VES™) consists of:
•Your vehicle may be equipped with a single
LCD overhead console screen system.
• One infrared remote control to allow rear seat
audio and video control function capability of
the VES™. •
Two infrared wireless dual channel head-
phones 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 opera-
tion of the rear seat Video Entertainment Sys-
tem (VES™).
The Video Entertainment System (VES™) ex-
pands the vehicle’s audio and video capabilities
so that rear passengers can enjoy movies,
music and external audio/video devices such as
video games or MP3 players. The VES™ inte-
grates seamlessly with the vehicle’s radio so the
audio may be heard through the cabin speakers
and/or headphones. The system may be con-
trolled 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 dis-
played in a split screen format. When a video
mode is displayed it is displayed on the full
screen. The remote control is designed to con-
trol 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 head-
phones, the VES™ allows rear passengers to
listen to two different audio sources simultane-
ously. The wireless remote control allows rear
passengers to change stations, tracks, discs
and audio/video modes.

Video Screen Operation
Displaying VideoThe video screen has two different operating
modes, a video mode (when displaying video
such as DVD video, Aux video, etc.) and an
information mode as shown in Figure 5. Because
the VES™ is a dual channel system, Information
Mode is displayed in a split screen format. When
in Information Mode, 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.
Only Channel 1 displays video images. When in
video mode the image is displayed on the full
screen, however Channel 2’s functionality is still
available. A popup banner at the bottom of the
screen is displayed momentarily over the video
image. While in video mode and Channel 2 is
selected on the remote control selector switch,
the first remote control key press will activate
the popup banner indicating Channel 2’s status.
While the banner is still visible, any subsequent
remote control key press for Channel 2 shall
initiate the requested remote control command.In a two-screen system, the video for Channel 1
is displayed on the first rear seat screen and the
video for Channel 2 is displayed on the second
rear seat screen. Information Mode is displayed
in split screen, the left side of the screen
(Channel 1) shows the status/mode of the first
rear seat screen and the right side of the screen
(Channel 2) shows the status/mode of the sec-
ond rear seat screen.
When Channel 1 is in a video mode, the image
is displayed on the first rear seat screen as a full
screen image. A popup banner at the bottom of
the screen is displayed momentarily over the
video image showing any change in status of
Channel 2.When Channel 2 is in video mode, the image is
displayed on the second rear seat screen as a
full screen image. A popup banner at the bottom
of the screen is displayed momentarily over the
video image showing any change in status of
Channel 1.
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
LCD screen 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 signals if the
headphones are powered on).
•
After the disc is inserted, the disc begins
playing to cabin speakers, wireless head-
phones, and rear video screens.

Shared ModesThe VES™ and radio are capable of communi-
cating 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 headphones 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 presets 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 functions. The VES™ has the ability to
control the following 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.
Information Mode Display
When information mode is active, the current
mode setting for both audio channels is dis-
played. In addition to the items called out by
number, the remaining information displays the
current status of the source (such as station
frequency, name, preset or track number, song
title, artist name, album name, etc.).

to Radio Disc mode.
•Loading a disc in the radio CD/DVD player
• AM/FM band selection via Radio
Auxiliary InputsFor each video screen there is an auxiliary (Aux
jack) device input which is used to connect exter-
nal 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. When connecting an ex-
ternal source to the AUX
input, be sure to follow
the standard color coding
for the VES™ jacks:1. Video in (yellow)
2. Left audio in (white)
3. Right audio in (red)
