Kicker Mobile Surround (KMS1)
The VES for this vehicle comes equipped with Kicker
Mobile Surround (KMS1). This feature offers the ultimate
movie experience by providing surround sound uniquely
equalized for the interior space of your vehicle.
The KMS1 activates whenever a DVD is in the VES
player, and the radio mode is set to VES, and the video
screen is powered up. The system will go back to stereo
sound automatically if the VES is powered down, or thevideo screen is stowed away, or the radio is set to a mode
other than VES, or if you are using the Aux jacks on the
VES.
Your vehicle is equipped with a state of the art digital
audio amplifier that decodes stereo sound inputs into 5.1
formatted surround sound. When in surround sound
mode, the KMS1 automatically sets balance and fade to
provide the optimal surround experience.
