Automatically?
In order to make the operation of the VES™ simple
and with the least amount of driver distraction, specific
events will cause the screen(s) to automatically switch
to DVD mode. These events are:
• Loading a disc in the DVD player (if so equipped),
• Pressing the PLAY button on the DVD player face-
plate when the disc is stopped or paused, or
• AM/FM band selection via Radio.
If your vehicle is not equipped with the separate DVD
player, the following events in the Radio will cause the
screen(s) to automatically switch to Radio Disc mode.
• Loading a disc in the radio CD/DVD player
• AM/FM band selection via Radio
Auxiliary Inputs
For each video screen there is an auxiliary (Aux jack)
device input which is used to connect external 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.
