GENERAL AUDIO INFORMATION
Radio Frequencies and Reception Factors
AM and FM frequencies are established by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC). Those frequencies are:
AM: 530, 540–1700, 1710 kHz
FM: 87.9–107.7, 107.9 MHz
Radio reception factors
Distance/StrengthThe further you travel from an FM station,
the weaker the signal and the weaker the
reception.
TerrainHills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges,
tunnels, freeway overpasses, parking garages,
dense tree foliage and thunderstorms can
interfere with your reception.
Station OverloadWhen you pass a ground-based broadcast
repeating tower, a stronger signal may
overtake a weaker one and result in the audio
system muting.
CD/CD Player Information
Note:CD units are designed to play commercially pressed 4.75 inch (12
centimeter) audio compact discs only. Due to technical incompatibility,
certain recordable and re-recordable compact discs may not function
correctly when used in Ford CD players.
Note:CDs with homemade paper (adhesive) labels should not be inserted
into the CD player as the label may peel and cause the CD to become
jammed. It is recommended that homemade CDs be identified with
permanent felt tip marker rather than adhesive labels. Ballpoint pens may
damage CDs. Please contact your authorized dealer for further information.
Note:Do not use any irregularly shaped discs or discs with a scratch
protection film attached.
Always handle discs by their edges only. Clean the disc with an approved
CD cleaner only, wiping from the center of the disc toward the edge. Do
not clean in a circular motion.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for extended
periods of time.

MP3 Track and Folder Structure
Audio systems capable of recognizing and playing MP3 individual tracks
and folder structures work as follows:
•There are two different modes for MP3 disc playback: MP3 track
mode (system default) and MP3 folder mode.
•MP3 track mode ignores any folder structure on the MP3 disc. The
player numbers each MP3 track on the disc (noted by the .mp3 file
extension) from T001 to a maximum of T255.Note:The maximum
number of playable MP3 files may be less depending on the structure
of the CD and exact model of radio present.
•MP3 folder mode represents a folder structure consisting of one level
of folders. The CD player numbers all MP3 tracks on the disc (noted
by the .mp3 file extension) and all folders containing MP3 files, from
F001 (folder) T001 (track) to F253 T255.
•Creating discs with only one level of folders helps with navigation
through the disc files.
If you are burning your own MP3 discs, it is important to understand
how the system reads the structures you create. While various files may
be present, (files with extensions other than mp3), only files with the
.mp3 extension are played; other files are ignored by the system. This
enables you to use the same MP3 disc for a variety of tasks on your work
computer, home computer and your in-vehicle system.
In track mode, the system displays and plays the structure as if it were
only one level deep (all .mp3 files are played, regardless of being in a
specific folder). In folder mode, the system only plays the .mp3 files in
the current folder.

Important Notice
It is unlawful in most jurisdictions for a person to drive a motor vehicle
which is equipped with a television viewer or screen that is located in
the motor vehicle at any point forward of the back of the driver’s seat, or
that is visible, directly or indirectly, to the driver while operating the
vehicle. In the interest of safety, the unit should never be installed where
it is visible, directly or indirectly, by the operator of the motor vehicle. If
your vehicle is equipped with a wireless rear seat audio system or any
other wireless IR device, power system off in order to operate the DVD
headrest system. If system is powered on, the two systems may interfere
with each other canceling out or creating undesirable audio through the
wireless headphones.
Safety Precaution
For safety reasons, when changing video discs it is recommended that
the vehicle not be in motion, and that you do not allow children to
unfasten safety belts to change discs or make any adjustments to the
system. System adjustments can be accomplished using the remote
control unit, while safety belts remain fastened. Enjoy your
entertainment system but remember that safety of all passengers remains
the number one priority.
Wireless Headphones
This unit includes a built-in dual channel infrared transmitter for use
with a wireless headphone. The volume can then be adjusted with the
controls on each headset. The wireless headphone must be used within a
line of sight from the transmitter as infrared transmission, like visible
light, travels only in a straight line.
Wired Headphones
There is a one-eighth inch headphone jack on the device that can be
used with any standard stereo headphone. Remove and save the
protective plastic cover to access the jacks. Remember to replace the
cover when the jacks are not in use.
A/V Input
An external AV device such as a DVD player, video game device, or other
audio/video device may be connected to the unit by using the “AV
INPUT” port consisting of three RCA jacks (Yellow: Video, Red: Audio-R,
White: Audio-L). To display and listen to the video/audio signal of this
external source, connect the video source RCA cables to the AV inputs
on the monitor. The video source overrides any other video source for
that monitor.
