2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE audio

Video Entertainment System (VES)™This manual is intended to aid with the opera-
tion of the rear seat Video Entertainment Sys-
tem (VES)™.
The Video Entertainment System (VES)™ ex-
pands the vehicle’s audio and video capabili-
ties so that rear passengers 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 occu-
pants 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 dis-
played in a split screen format. When a video
mode is displayed it is displayed on the full
screen. The remote control is designed to con-
trol 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 head-
phones, the VES™ allows rear passengers to
listen to two different audio sources simultane-ously. The wireless remote control allows rear
passengers to change stations, tracks, discs
and audio/video modes.
