System Information
Shared Modes
The VES™ and radio are capable of communicating with
each other. This allows the VES™ to output radio audio
to the headphones and the radio to output VES™ audio
to the vehicle speakers. When the radio and VES™ are in
the same (shared) mode, a VES™ icon will be visible on
the radio’s display and the shared icon will be visible on
the VES™ screen. When in shared mode, the same audio
source is heard in the headphones and vehicle speakers
simultaneously.
If the radio functions (FM, AM, or SAT) are in the shared
mode with the VES™, only the radio is able to control the
radio functions. In this case, VES™ can share the radio mode, but not change stations until the radio mode is
changed to a mode that is different from the VES™
selected radio mode. When shared, the radio has priority
over the VES™ or all radio modes (FM, AM, and SAT).
The VES™ has the ability to switch tuner (AM/FM),
SEEK, SCAN, TUNE, and recall presets in radio modes as
long as it is not in shared mode.
When in shared disc or satellite video mode both the
radio and the VES™ have control of the video functions.
The VES™ has the ability to control the following video
modes:
1. CD: Ability to Fast Forward, Rewind, Scan, and Track
Up/Down.
2. CD Changer (in radio): Ability to Disk Up/Down and program all listed CD controls (Fast Forward, Rewind,
Scan, and Track Up/Down).
406 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

The VES™ can even control radio modes or video modes
while the radio is turned off. The VES™ can access the
radio modes or disc modes by navigating to those modes
on the VES™ and activating a radio mode or disc mode.

Disc Errors
If the DVD player is unable to read the disc, a Disc Error
message is displayed on the VES™ and Radio displays
and the disc is automatically ejected. A dirty, damaged, or
incompatible 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 playing 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.
