Disc Formats
The VES™ DVD player is capable of
playing the following types of discs
(120 mm or 80 mm diameter):
DVD-Video discs (MPEG-2 videocompression) (see notes about DVD
Region Codes)
DVD-Audio discs (2 channel audio output only)
Audio Compact Discs (CDs)
CD Data discs with MP3 and WMA compressed audio format files
Video CDs (MPEG-1 video com- pression) DVD Region Codes
The VES™ DVD player and many
DVD discs are coded by geographic
region. These region codes must
match in order for the disc to play. If
the region code for the DVD disc does
not match the region code for the
player, the disc will not play and will
be ejected.
DVD Audio Support
When a DVD-Audio disc is inserted in
the VES™ DVD player, the DVD-
Audio title on the disc is played by
default (most DVD-Audio discs also
have a Video title, but the Video title is
ignored). All multi-channel program
material is automatically mixed down
to two channels, which may result in a
lowered apparent volume level. If you
increase the volume level to account
for this change in level, remember to
lower the volume before changing the
disc or to another mode.
Recorded Discs
The VES™ DVD player will play
CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in
CD-Audio or Video-CD format, or as a CD-ROM containing MP3 or WMA
files. The player will also play DVD-
Video content recorded to a DVD-R or
DVD-RW disc. DVD-ROM discs (ei-
ther pressed or recorded) are not sup-
ported.
If you record a disc using a personal
computer, there may be cases where
the VES™ DVD player may not be
able to play some or the entire disc,
even if it is recorded in a compatible
format and is playable on other play-
ers. To help avoid playback problems,
use the following guidelines when re-
cording discs.
Open sessions are ignored. Only
sessions that are closed are play-
able.
For multi-session CDs that contain only multiple CD-Audio sessions,
the player will renumber the tracks
so each track number is unique.
For CD Data (or CD-ROM) discs, always use the ISO-9660 (Level 1
or Level 2), Joliet, or Romeo for-
mat. Other formats (such as UDF,
HFS, or others) are not supported.
209
If a disc has a damaged track which
results in audible or visible errors that
persists for 2.0 seconds, the DVD
player will attempt to continue play-
ing the disc by skipping forward 1.0
to 3.0 seconds at a time. If the end of
the disc is reached, the DVD player
will return to the beginning of the disc
and attempt to play the start of the
first track.
The DVD player may shut down dur-
ing extremely hot conditions, such as
when the vehicle’s interior tempera-
ture is above 48°C . When this occurs,
the DVD player will display "VES
High Temp" and will shut off the
VES™ displays until a safe tempera-
ture is reached. This shutdown is nec-
essary to protect the optics of the DVD
player.Display

sidering disc player service.
RADIO OPERATION AND
MOBILE PHONES
Under certain conditions, the mobile
phone being on in your vehicle can
cause erratic or noisy performance
from your radio. This condition may
be lessened or eliminated by relocat-
ing the mobile phone antenna. This
condition is not harmful to the radio.
If your radio performance does not
satisfactorily “clear” by the reposi-
tioning of the antenna, it is recom-
mended that the radio volume be
turned down or off during mobile
phone operation.CLIMATE CONTROLS
The Climate Control system allows
you to regulate the temperature,
amount, and direction of air circulat-
ing throughout the vehicle. The con-
trols are located on the instrument
panel, below the radio.
AUTOMATIC
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
(ATC)
Front Three-Zone ATC allows both
driver and front passenger seat oc-
cupant, and rear seat occupants to
select individual comfort settings.
When occupants in the vehicle se- lect the AUTO mode operation, a
comfort temperature can be set by
using the temperature up and down
buttons, and the auto blower op-
eration will be set automatically.
The system can be controlled manually, if desired.
SYNC feature links the controls for all three zones, allowing one com-
fort setting (driver setting) for the
cabin, if desired. The Three-Zone ATC system auto-
matically maintains the interior com-
fort level desired by the driver and all
passengers. The system automatically
adjusts the air temperature, the air-
flow volume, amount of outside air
recirculation and the airflow direc-
tion. This maintains a comfortable
temperature, even under changing
conditions.

would like the system to maintain, by
adjusting the driver, front passenger,
and rear seat rotary temperature
knobs. Once the desired temperature
is displayed, the system will achieve
and automatically maintain that com-
