If you are still having trouble writing a
disc that is playable in the VES™
DVD player, check with the disc re-
cording software publisher for more
information about burning playable
discs.
The recommended method for label-
ing recordable discs (CD-R, CD-RW,
and DVD-R) is with a permanent
marker. Do not use adhesive labels as
they may separate from the disc, be-
come stuck, and cause permanent
damage to the DVD player.
Compressed Audio Files (MP3 and
WMA)
The DVD player is capable of playing
MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3) and
WMA (Windows Media Audio) files
from a CD Data disc (usually a CD-R
or CD-RW).
The DVD player always uses thefile extension to determine the au-
dio format, so MP3 files must al-
ways end with the extension
".mp3" or ".MP3" and WMA files
must always end with the extension
".wma" or ".WMA". To prevent in- correct playback, do not use these
extensions for any other types of
files.
For MP3 files, only version 1 ID3 tag data (such as artist name, track
title, album, etc.) are supported.
Any file that is copy protected (such as those downloaded from many
online music stores) will not play.
The DVD player will automatically
skip the file and begin playing the
next available file.
Other compression formats such as AAC, MP3 Pro, Ogg Vorbis, and
ATRAC3 will not play. The DVD
player will automatically skip the
file and begin playing the next
available file.
If you are creating your own files, the recommended fixed bit rate for
MP3 files is between 96 and
192Kbps and the recommended
fixed bit rate for WMA files is be-
tween 64 and 192Kbps. Variable
bit rates are also supported. For
both formats, the recommended
sample rate is either 44.1kHz or
48kHz. To change the current file, use the
remote control’s or DVD player’s ▲
button to advance to the next file,
or the ▼button to return to the
start of the current or previous file.
To change the current directory, use the remote control’s PROG Up and
Down buttons.
Disc Errors
If the DVD player is unable to read the
disc, a "Disc Error" message is dis-
played on the VES™ and Radio dis-
plays and the disc is automatically
ejected. A dirty, damaged, or incom-
patible disc format are all potential
causes for a "Disc Error" message.
If a disc has a damaged track which
results in audible or visible errors that
persists for 2.0 seconds, the DVD
player will attempt to continue play-
ing the disc by skipping forward 1.0
to 3.0 seconds at a time. If the end of
the disc is reached, the DVD player
will return to the beginning of the disc
and attempt to play the start of the
first track.

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.

Rating and Password Setup
The Rating and Password settings
work together to control the types of
DVDs that your family watches. Most
DVD-Video discs have a rating (from
1 to 8) assigned to them where lower
numbers are designated for all audi-
ences and higher numbers are desig-
nated for more adult audiences.
When a DVD-Video disc is loaded, its
rating is compared to the setting in the
DVD player. If the rating of the disc is
higher than the setting in the player, a
Password screen is displayed. In order
to watch the disc, the rear passenger
DVD Player Language Menu
205
must enter the correct password using
the password entry method described
below.
To play all discs without requiring a
password, set the DVD player’s rating
to Level 8. Setting the rating to Level
1 always requires the password to
play any DVD disc. Not all DVD discs
encode a Rating, so it is still possible
that discs designed for adult audi-
ences can still play without requiring
a password.
The default rating is Level 8 (play all
discs without a password) and the
default password is 0000.To set the password, activate the DVD
Setup Menu and follow these addi-
tional instructions:
Using the remote control Left and
Right cursor buttons, select the
Rating tab.
Highlight "Change Password", and then press the remote control’s EN-
TER button.
Enter the current password. Select a digit, use the remote control Up
and Down cursor buttons to set the
value for the current digit, and then
press the remote control’s Right
cursor button to select the next
digit. Repeat this digit selection se-
quence for all four digits.
After the four-digit password is en- tered, press the remote control’s
ENTER button. If the password is
correct, the set password screen is
displayed.
Using the remote control’s Up and Down cursor buttons to set the
value for the current digit and the
remote control’s Right cursor but-
ton to select digits, enter the new
password. After the four-digit password is en-
tered, press the remote control’s

REAR MANUAL CLIMATE
CONTROL (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The Rear Manual Climate Control
system has floor air outlets at the rear of the right side sliding door, and
overhead outlets at each outboard
rear seating position. The unit pro-
vides warm or cool air through the
floor and upper outlets.
The rear blower and temperature con-
trols for the rear seat passengers are
located in the headliner, near the cen-
ter of the vehicle.
Rear Blower Control
The primary control for the rear
blower is on the front climate control
unit, located on the instrument panel.
Only when the front control for the
rear blower is in the
REARposition do the second row seat occupants
have control of the rear blower speed.
The rear blower control, located in the
rear overhead console, has an off po-
sition and a range of blower speeds.
This allows the second row seat occu-
pants to control the volume of air
circulated in the rear of the vehicle.
CAUTION!
Interior air enters the Rear Manual
Climate Control system through an
intake grille, located in the right side
trim panel behind the third row
seats. The heater outlets are located
in the right side trim panel, just be-
hind the sliding door. Do not block
or place objects directly in front of
the inlet grille or heater outlets. The
electrical system could overload,
causing damage to the blower motor.

provide cooler air out of the head-
liner outlets and warmer air from
the floor outlets. Floor Mode
Air comes from the floor outlets.
AUTOMATIC
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
(ATC) (for versions/markets,
where provided)
Front Three-Zone ATC allows both driver and front passenger seat oc-
cupant, and rear seat occupants to
select individual comfort settings.
When occupants in the vehicle se- lect the AUTO mode operation, a
comfort temperature can be set by
using the temperature up and down
buttons, and the auto blower op-
eration will be set automatically.
The system can be controlled manually, if desired.
SYNC feature links the controls for all three zones, allowing one com-
fort setting (driver setting) for the
cabin, if desired. The Three-Zone ATC system auto-
matically maintains the interior com-
fort level desired by the driver and all
passengers. The system automatically
adjusts the air temperature, the air-
flow volume, amount of outside air
recirculation and the airflow direc-
tion. This maintains a comfortable
temperature, even under changing
conditions.
