Wired Headphones
You can use any standard stereo headphones by plugging them into the
1/8–inch (3.5 millimeter) headphone jack on each of the headrest DVD
systems. 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
You can connect an external audio/video device that uses common RCA
interface cables to the Ford DVD system, such as a video game device or
VCR. Connect the device RCA cables to the AV RCA INPUT jacks
according to color: yellow for video, red for right audio and white for left
audio. The signal from the external audio/video source overrides other
video sources for that monitor.
Wireless FM Transmitter
Your device has an internal FM transmitter. This allows you to listen to
the DVD player audio signal by tuning your vehicle FM radio to a radio
frequency that you select, then accessing the SOUND-AROUND feature
by using the remote control. SOUND-AROUND allows the user to choose
from a number of pre-programmed frequencies to play back the rear-seat
entertainment system audio over the radio. When you engage
SOUND-AROUND, as long as the DVD player is active, it adversely
affects the FM radio reception of other stations, especially neighboring
stations nearest to whichever station is in use for the DVD player.
Performance of SOUND-AROUND varies based on geographic location.
You may need to change the SOUND-AROUND frequency periodically
when travelling long distances. This helps maintain the best performance
when listening to DVD system content over the radio. Audio heard
through wireless headphones remains unaffected by SOUND-AROUND.
There may also be a reduction in AM radio performance as well. AM and
FM radio performance can be expected to return to normal when the
DVD system is turned off.
How to use the FM Transmitter
1. Switch on the system and place a disc in Monitor A.
2. Point the remote control at the monitor, and then press DVD A.
3. PressSOUND AROUND ON/OFFto turn FM transmission off and
on.
4. Select a radio frequency (88.3, 88.7, 89.1, 89.5, 89.9, and 90.3MHz)
by pressingSOUND AROUND SELECT.
5. Select a frequency, and then tune your radio to the corresponding
frequency. Try each station frequency until you achieve a clear audio
signal.

Remote Control
Note:The remote control uses infrared light to send commands to the
DVD player, just as many home video systems do. Just point the remote
control at the DVD player infrared window located above each screen in
order to control that DVD player. While you can connect a second device
such as a VCR through the auxiliary inputs, and view the playback on
the screen, you cannot control that device by aiming its remote control
at the Ford DVD player. The Ford DVD system remote control is the
only remote control you can use with the system. For example, if you
connect a VCR to the DVD system, you must point the VCR remote
control at the VCR to control it.
Installing the Battery
Before using your remote control, install the batteries as follows:
1. Turn the remote control face down. Press down on the ridged area of
the battery cover and slide it off.
2. Install two AAA batteries. Make sure you install the batteries
properly, with the + and – facing the correct way, as shown in the
battery compartment.
3. Slide the cover back until it clicks.

completely.
Regional Coding
Both the DVD player and disc have specific region codes. These regional
codes must match in order for the disc to play. If the codes do not
match, the disc does not play. The system is set to the region code
designated for your area by the DVD Copy Control Association. Other
regions do not play in this system.
Loading and Playing Discs
When you pressPOWER,the system turns on in DVD mode. Place the
disc about halfway into the disc compartment slot, with the disc’s label
facing the rear of your vehicle. Insert the disc straight into the player; do
not insert the disc at an angle.
The disc loads automatically and begins to play. Some discs start at the
root menu, where you have to select disc play manually.
Depending on the disc and playback location on the disc, the icon may
display in the upper-left corner of the screen indicating that still
playback is not possible.
Notes
•To keep a disc clean, do not touch its surface. Handle the disc by its
edge.
•Keep your discs in their cases or disc magazines when not in use.
Also, do not subject a disc to heat or high temperatures. Avoid
leaving them in a parked vehicle, on a dashboard or on a rear tray.
•Do not attach labels, or use discs with sticky ink or residue. Such
discs may stop spinning, causing a system malfunction, or ruining the
disc.

•Do not use any discs with labels or stickers attached. The following
malfunctions may result from using such discs:
•The system cannot eject a disc due to a label or sticker peeling off
and jamming the eject mechanism.
•The system cannot read audio data correctly, such as playback
skipping or no playback at all, due to heat shrinking of a sticker or
label causing the disc to warp.
•Before playing a disc, clean it with a commercially available cleaning
cloth. Wipe each disc from the center out. Do not use solvents such
as benzene, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or antistatic
spray intended for analog discs.
•Do not use any irregularly shaped discs. If you insert an irregular,
non-round, shaped disc, it may jam in the DVD player or not play
properly.
