VIDEO ENTERTAINMENT
SYSTEM (VES™) — IF

(VES™) is designed to give your family years of
enjoyment. You can play your favorite CDs or
DVDs, listen to audio over the wireless head-
phones, or plug and play a variety of standard
video games or audio devices. Please review
this Owner’s Manual to become familiar with its
features and operation.
System OverviewThe rear seat Video Entertainment System
(VES™) consists of:
•Your vehicle may be equipped with a single
LCD overhead console screen system.
• One infrared remote control to allow rear seat
audio and video control function capability of
the VES™. •
Two infrared wireless dual channel head-
phones for rear passenger listening.
• Auxiliary RCA audio/video inputs (AUX jacks)
for listening and viewing of other consumer
electronic device media such as MP3 players
or video games.
• Radio capable of playing DVDs.
Video Entertainment System (VES™)This manual is intended to aid with the opera-
tion of the rear seat Video Entertainment Sys-
tem (VES™).
The Video Entertainment System (VES™) ex-
pands the vehicle’s audio and video capabilities
so that rear passengers can enjoy movies,
music and external audio/video devices such as
video games or MP3 players. The VES™ inte-
grates seamlessly with the vehicle’s radio so the
audio may be heard through the cabin speakers
and/or headphones. The system may be con-
trolled 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 dis-
played in a split screen format. When a video
mode is displayed it is displayed on the full
screen. The remote control is designed to con-
trol 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 head-
phones, the VES™ allows rear passengers to
listen to two different audio sources simultane-
ously. The wireless remote control allows rear
passengers to change stations, tracks, discs
and audio/video modes.

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.

a disc is inserted into the radio on a single
screen system and into the remote DVD player
on a two screen system:

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).
•
