Rear Seat Entertainment DVD System protection circuits
High temperature sensor circuit
• 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
illuminate in the radio display.
• The DVD player will remain inactive until it cools to a normal
operating temperature. Length of time to cool will vary depending on
conditions.
General operating tips
• When the engine is not running, use the system sparingly. Otherwise,
it will run the battery down.
• When the ignition is turned to OFF, the Rear Seat Entertainment DVD
System is also turned OFF. When the ignition is turned ON, the
system will begin playback from the last selected media source when
the play control is pressed.
• To disable the DVD player, simultaneously press the 3 and 5 memory
presets on the radio face. To enable the DVD player 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.
• The DVD player is only capable of playback of DVDs and CDs. The
player is not compatible with CDR/RW media.
• 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 12 cm (4.75
in) 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.
