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. Because 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 mo-
mentarily over the video image. 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 sta-
tus. While the banner is still visible, any subsequent
remote control key press for Channel 2 shall initiate
the requested remote control command. (fig. 110)
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 dis-
played 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 transmitter 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 sig-
nals if the headphones are powered on).
 After the disc is inserted, the disc begins playing to cabin speakers, wireless headphones, and rear video
screens.
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 head-
phones 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(fig. 110) Popup Banner

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/MW/LW), SEEK, TUNE, and recall pre-
sets 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 func-
tions. The VES™ has the ability to control the follow-
ing video modes:
1. CD: Ability to Fast Forward, Rewind, and TrackUp/Down.
2. CD Changer (in radio): Ability to Disk Up/Down and program all listed CD controls (Fast Forward,
Rewind, and Track Up/Down).
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. Information Mode Display
(fig. 111)
When information mode is active, the current mode
setting for both audio channels is displayed. In addition
to the items called out by number, the remaining
information displays the current status of the source
(such as station frequency, name, preset or track num-
ber, song title, artist name, album name, etc.).
1. Channel 1 Mode – Displays the current source for
Channel 1.
2. Channel 1 Audio Only/Mute — Audio: The audio only icon is not used on Channel 1, in a single screen

device input which is used to connect external audio/
video sources to the VES™. Examples of devices that
can be connected to the Aux inputs include portable
music players, video cameras, VCR’s, game systems,
and other devices with audio and/or video outputs.
The Aux jacks are typically located on the back of the
center console or on one of the vehicles side panels in
the rear occupant area.(fig. 115) When connecting an external source to the AUX
input, be sure to follow the standard color coding for
the VES™ jacks:
1. Video in (yellow)
2. Left audio in (white)
3. Right audio in (red)
Using The Auxiliary Audio/Video Input Jacks
(AUX)
 Lower the screen or press the POWER button on
the remote control to turn the screen on.
