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. Be-
cause 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 momentarily 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 subsequent remote control key
press for Channel 2 shall initiate the requested
remote control command.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 image. A popup banner at the
bottom of the screen is displayed momentarily
over the video image showing any change in
status of Channel 2.When Channel 2 is in video mode, the image is
displayed on the second rear seat screen as a
full screen image. A popup banner at the
bottom of the screen is displayed momentarily
over the video image showing any change in
status of Channel 1.
Playing A Disc On The VES™The following actions occur automatically when
a disc is inserted into the radio on a single
screen system and into the remote DVD player
on a two screen system:
•
If the video screen is in the open position
(the LCD screen is visible), then the screen
turns on and the wireless headphone trans-
mitter turns on. If the video screen is closed,
the wireless headphone transmitter must be
turned on by using the power button on the
remote control (headphones only receive
audio signals if the headphones are pow-
ered on).
• After the disc is inserted, the disc begins
playing to cabin speakers, wireless head-
phones, and rear video screens.

equipped),
• Pressing the PLAY button on the DVD player
faceplate when the disc is stopped or

the surface.
2. If the disc is stained, clean the surface with
a soft cloth, wiping from center to edge.
3. Do not apply paper or tape to the disc; avoid
scratching the disc.
4. Do not use solvents such as benzene, thin-
ner, cleaners, or anti-static sprays.
5. Store the disc in its case after playing.6. Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight.
7. Do not store the disc where temperatures
may become too high.
NOTE:
If you experience difficulty in playing a par-
ticular disc, it may be damaged (i.e.,
scratched, reflective coating removed, a
hair, moisture or dew on the disc) oversized,
or have protection encoding. Try a known
good disc before considering disc player
service.RADIO OPERATION AND MOBILE
PHONES
Under certain conditions, the mobile phone
being on in your vehicle can cause erratic or
noisy performance from your radio. This condi-
tion may be lessened or eliminated by relocat-
ing the mobile phone antenna. This condition is
not harmful to the radio. If your radio perfor-
mance does not satisfactorily “clear” by the
repositioning of the antenna, it is recom-
mended that the radio volume be turned down
or off during mobile phone operation when not
using Uconnect™ (if equipped).
