Disc Formats
The VES™ DVD player is capable of
playing the following types of discs
(120 mm or 80 mm diameter):
DVD-Video discs (MPEG-2 videocompression) (see notes about DVD
Region Codes)
DVD-Audio discs (2 channel audio output only)
Audio Compact Discs (CDs)
CD Data discs with MP3 and WMA compressed audio format files
Video CDs (MPEG-1 video com- pression)
DVD Region Codes
The VES™ DVD player and many
DVD discs are coded by geographic
region. These region codes must
match in order for the disc to play. If the region code for the DVD disc does
not match the region code for the
player, the disc will not play and will
be ejected.
DVD Audio Support
When a DVD-Audio disc is inserted in
the VES™ DVD player, the DVD-
Audio title on the disc is played by
default (most DVD-Audio discs also
have a Video title, but the Video title is
ignored). All multi-channel program
material is automatically mixed down
to two channels, which may result in a
lowered apparent volume level. If you
increase the volume level to account
for this change in level, remember to
lower the volume before changing the
disc or to another mode.
Recorded Discs
The VES™ DVD player will play
CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in
CD-Audio or Video-CD format, or as
a CD-ROM containing MP3 or WMA
files. The player will also play DVD-
Video content recorded to a DVD-R or
DVD-RW disc. DVD-ROM discs (ei-
ther pressed or recorded) are not sup-
ported.
If you record a disc using a personal
computer, there may be cases where
the VES™ DVD player may not be
able to play some or the entire disc,
even if it is recorded in a compatible
format and is playable on other play-
ers. To help avoid playback problems,
use the following guidelines when re-
cording discs.
Open sessions are ignored. Only
sessions that are closed are play-
able.
For multi-session CDs that contain only multiple CD-Audio sessions,
the player will renumber the tracks
so each track number is unique.
For CD Data (or CD-ROM) discs, always use the ISO-9660 (Level 1
or Level 2), Joliet, or Romeo for-
mat. Other formats (such as UDF,
HFS, or others) are not supported.
The player recognizes a maximum of 512 files and 99 folders per
CD-R and CD-RW disc.
Mixed media recordable DVD for- mats will only play the Video_TS
portion of the disc.
203
The DVD player may shut down dur-
ing extremely hot conditions, such as
when the vehicle’s interior tempera-
ture is above 48°C . When this occurs,
the DVD player will display "VES
High Temp" and will shut off the
VES™ displays until a safe tempera-
ture is reached. This shutdown is nec-
essary to protect the optics of the DVD
player.

or dew on the disc) oversized, or
have protection encoding. Try a
known good disc before consider-
ing 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 condition may
be lessened or eliminated by relocat-
ing the mobile phone antenna. This
condition is not harmful to the radio.
If your radio performance does not
satisfactorily “clear” by the reposi-
tioning of the antenna, it is recom-
mended that the radio volume be
turned down or off during mobile
phone operation.

ing solution, wiping parallel to the
heating elements. Labels can be
peeled off after soaking with
warm water.
Do not use scrapers, sharp instru-
ments, or abrasive window clean-
ers on the interior surface of the
window.
Keep all objects a safe distance
from the window.

9. Recirculation Control Button
Press this button to choose
between outside air intake or
recirculation of the air inside
the vehicle. A lamp will illu-
minate when you are in Recirculation
mode. Only use the Recirculation mode
to temporarily block out any outside
odors, smoke, or dust, and to cool the
interior rapidly upon initial start-up in
very hot or humid weather.
NOTE:
If the Recirculation button is
pressed when the system is in
Defrost mode the Recirculation
LED indicator will flash 3 times
to indicate Recirculation mode
is not allowed.
In Floor and Mix mode the sys- tem will turn off Recirculation
mode after five minutes of op-
eration. You can select Recircu-
lation mode again if desired.
Continuous use of the Recircu- lation mode may make the in-
side air stuffy and window fog-
ging may occur. Extended use of
this mode is not recommended. In cold or damp weather, the use
of the Recirculation mode will
cause windows to fog on the in-
side because of moisture
buildup inside the vehicle. For
maximum defogging, select the
outside air position.
In order to prevent fogging, when the Recirculation button is
pressed and the mode control is
set to Panel, the A/C will engage
automatically.
