This manual is intended to aid with the operation of the
rear seat Video Entertainment System (VES)™.
The Video Entertainment System (VES)™ expands the
vehicle’s audio and video capabilities so that rear pas-
sengers 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 occupants 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 displayed in a split screen format. When a video
mode is displayed it is displayed on the full screen. The
remote control is designed to control 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 headphones,
the VES™ allows rear passengers to listen to two
different audio sources simultaneously. The wireless

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

ton.

mote control’s SETUP button activates the Display

stances.(fig. 113) Numeric Keypad Menu
