Your Rear Seat Entertainment System (RSES) allows you to watch movie
rentals and your favorite home videocassettes. It also allows you to plug
in and play a variety of standard video games. Please review this user
manual to become familiar with the RSES features and controls as well
as the very important safety information.
SAFETY INFORMATION
Read all of the safety and operating instructions before operating the
system and retain for future reference.
Do not attempt to service, repair or modify the rear seat entertainment
system. See your Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealer.
Do not insert foreign objects into the video cassette player (VCP) tape
cassette compartment.
The front glass on the liquid crystal display may break when hit
with a hard surface. If the glass breaks, do not touch the liquid
crystalline material. In case of contact with skin, wash immediately
with soap and water.
Do not expose the liquid crystal display to direct sunlight or
intensive ultraviolet rays for extensive periods of time.
Ultraviolet rays deteriorate the liquid crystal.
Driver should never operate any function of the VCP mounted in
the Floor Console when the vehicle is moving. Give full attention
to driving and the road. Pull off the road and park in a safe place to
insert or remove video tapes from the VCP. A remote control is
included in the system to allow rear seat occupants to operate the VCP
functions without distracting the driver.

Cleaning video heads
Magnetic video heads convert the videocassette into pictures on the
screen during playback. Over a period of time, particles rub off the tape
and are left on the heads. Using an old or poor quality tape together with
dust and air particles, high temperature and humidity cause dirty heads.
Dirty heads generally cause ªsnowyº pictures and, in some severe cases,
blurred or interrupted pictures. A variety of products are available at
video stores to clean tape heads. Use these products sparingly, because
some are abrasive to the video heads. If normal head cleaning
procedures do not resolve the problem, have the system checked by a
qualified service technician.
Foreign substances
Exercise care to prevent dirt and foreign objects from entering the VCP
compartment. Be especially careful not to spill liquids of any kind onto
the media controls or into the videocassette player. If liquid is
accidentally spilled onto the system, immediately turn the system OFF
and consult a qualified service technician.
