(for versions/markets, where

Your rear seat Video Entertainment System (VES)™ is
designed to give your family years of enjoyment. You

System Overview
The rear seat Video Entertainment System (VES)™
consists of:
• Your vehicle may be equipped a single LCD overheadconsole screen system.
• One infrared remote control to allow rear seat audio and video control function capability of the VES™.
• Two infrared wireless dual channel headphones 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 operation of the
rear seat Video Entertainment System (VES)™. The Video Entertainment System (VES)™ expands the
vehicle’s audio and video capabilities so that rear pas-
sengers can enjoy movies, music and external audio/
video devices such as video games or MP3 players. The
VES™ integrates seamlessly with the vehicle’s radio so
the audio may be heard through the cabin speakers
and/or headphones. The system may be controlled 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 displayed in a split screen format. When a video
mode is displayed it is displayed on the full screen. The
remote control is designed to control 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 headphones,
the VES™ allows rear passengers to listen to two
different audio sources simultaneously. The wireless
remote control allows rear passengers to change sta-
tions, tracks, discs and audio/video modes.

Video Screen Operation
Displaying Video
The 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 mo-
mentarily over the video image (see Figure 4). 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 subse-
quent remote control key press for Channel 2 shall
initiate the requested remote control command.
(fig. 112)
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
second 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
(fig. 112)

Mode Selection Menu (fig. 114)
The first press of the MODE button causes the Mode
Selection menu to appear on screen (Figure 6). The
current mode is always the default selection. The mode
can be changed for either Channel/Screen 1 or
Channel/Screen 2 using the remote control.
Use the remote control’s navigation buttons (▴,▾ ,▸ ,◂ )
to navigate through the available modes, and then press
the remote control’s ENTER button to select the
mode. An alternate method of changing modes is
repeated pressing of the MODE button until the de-
sired mode is highlighted then press the ENTER button
on the remote control to select the mode.
In a single screen system, when a video mode (such as
DVD-video, Aux video, etc.) is active and Channel/ Screen 1 is selected using the remote control selector
switch, the first press of the remote control’s MODE
button causes the Mode Selection menu to appear.
Numeric Keypad Menu (fig. 115)
When the display for either Channel 1 or Channel 2
shows a direct action button, pressing the remote
control’s ENTER button activates a numeric keypad
menu (as seen in Figure 7 Channel 1). This screen
makes it easy to enter a specific tuner frequency,
satellite channel, or track number. To enter the desireddigit:
1. Press the remote control’s navigation buttons (
▴,▾ ,
▸ ,◂ ) to navigate to the desired digit.
2. When the digit is highlighted, press the remote control’s ENTER button to select the digit. Repeat
