2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE audio

Headphones OperationThe headphones receive two separate chan-
nels of audio using an infrared transmitter from
the video screen.
Front seat occupants receive some headphone
audio coverage to allow them to adjust the
headphone volume for the young rear seat
occupants that may not be able to do so for
themselves.
If no audio is heard after increasing the volume
control, verify that the screen is turned on and in
the down position and that the channel is not
muted and the headphone channel selector
switch is on the desired channel. If audio is still
not heard, check that fully charged batteries are
installed in the headphones.
ControlsThe headphone power indicator and controls
are located on the right ear cup.
NOTE:
The rear video system must be turned on
before sound can be heard from the head-
phones. To conserve battery life, the head-
phones will automatically turn off approxi-
mately three minutes after the rear video
system is turned off.Changing the Audio Mode for Headphones

Video Screen Operation
Displaying VideoThe video screen has two different operating
modes, a video mode (when displaying video
such as DVD video, Aux video, etc.) and an
information mode as shown in Figure 5. 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 momentarily 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 status.
While the banner is still visible, any subsequent
remote control key press for Channel 2 shall
initiate the requested remote control command.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 sec-
ond 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
displayed 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 signals if the
headphones are powered on).
•
After the disc is inserted, the disc begins
playing to cabin speakers, wireless head-
phones, and rear video screens.

Shared ModesThe VES™ and radio are capable of communi-
cating 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/MW/LW), SEEK, 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, and
Track Up/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
When information mode is active, the current
mode setting for both audio channels is dis-

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

occupant area. When connecting an ex-
ternal source to the AUX
