gin playing the next available file.
Other compression formats such as Xvid and RMP4 will not play. The
Blu-ray player will automatically

DVD/Blu-ray/BD Region Codes
The VES™ DVD player/Blu-ray
player and many DVD/Blu-ray 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/Blu-ray disc does not match
the region code for the player, the disc
will stop playing and a warning will
be displayed.
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, WMA or
AAC (Blu-ray Disc Player only) 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
211
Page 218 of 364

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. Onlysessions 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 HFS,
or others) are not supported.
Blu-ray Disc Player can extend 2000 files and 255 folders.
The player recognizes a maximum of 512 files and 99 folders per
CD-R and CD-RW disc.
Mixed media recordable DVD for- mats will only play the Video_TS
portion of the disc. Mixed disc which contains "DivX"
will be priority played on Blu-ray
Disc Player .
If you are still having trouble writing a
disc that is playable in the VES™
DVD player, check with the disc re-
cording software publisher for more
information about burning playable
discs.
The recommended method for label-
ing recordable discs (CD-R, CD-RW,
and DVD-R) is with a permanent
marker. Do not use adhesive labels as
they may separate from the disc, be-
come stuck, and cause permanent
damage to the DVD player.
Compressed Audio Files (MP3 /
WMA and ACC)
The DVD / Blu-ray player (for
versions/markets, where provided) is
capable of playing MP3 (MPEG-1
Audio Layer 3) and WMA (Windows
Media Audio) files from a CD Data
disc (usually a CD-R or CD-RW). The DVD player always uses the
file extension to determine the au-
dio format, so MP3 files must al-
ways end with the extension
".mp3" or ".MP3" and WMA files
must always end with the extension
".wma" or ".WMA." AAC files
must always end with the extension
"aac" or "AAC." To prevent incor-
rect playback, do not use these ex-
tensions for any other types of files.
For MP3 files, only version 1 ID3 tag data (such as artist name, track
title, album, etc.) are supported.
For Blu-ray files, only version 1.0 / 1.1 / 2.2 / 2.3 and 2.4 ID3 tag data
(such as artist name, track title,
album, etc.) are supported.
Any file that is copy protected (such as those downloaded from many
online music stores) will not play.
The DVD player will automatically
skip the file and begin playing the
next available file.
Other compression formats such as AAC, MP3 Pro, Ogg Vorbis, and
ATRAC3 will not play. The DVD
212
Page 219 of 364

player will automatically skip the
file and begin playing the next
available file.
If you are creating your own files, the recommended fixed bit rate for
MP3 files is between 96 and 192
Kbps and the recommended fixed
bit rate for WMA files is between 64
and 192 Kbps. Variable bit rates
are also supported. For both for-
mats, the recommended sample
rate is either 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.
To change the current file, use the DVD player’s ▲button to advance
to the next file, or the ▼button to
return to the start of the current or
previous file.
To change the current directory, use the remote control’s PROG UP and
Down buttons or Rewind/skip back
and fast fwd/skip forward.
Disc Errors
If the DVD player is unable to read the
disc, a "Disc Error" message is dis-
played on the VES™ and Radio dis-
plays and the disc is automatically ejected. A dirty, damaged, or incom-
patible disc format are all potential
causes for a "Disc Error" message.
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 120° F. The Blu-ray
player may shut down when the vehi-
cle's interior temperature exceeds
140° F. When this occurs, the DVD /
Blu-ray 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
/ Blu-ray player.
The Blu-ray player may require addi-
tional reading time during extremelycold weather conditions. When this
occurs, allow the vehicles interior
temperature to warm, then insert disc
into player.

Rating and Password Setup
The Rating and Password settings
work together to control the types of
DVDs that your family watches. Most
DVD-Video discs have a rating (from
1 to 8) assigned to them where lower
numbers are designated for all audi-
ences and higher numbers are desig-
nated for more adult audiences.
When a DVD-Video disc is loaded, its
rating is compared to the setting in the
DVD player. If the rating of the disc is
higher than the setting in the player, a
Password screen is displayed. In order
to watch the disc, the rear passenger must enter the correct password using
the password entry method described
below.
To play all discs without requiring a
password, set the DVD player’s rating
to Level 8. Setting the rating to Level
1 always requires the password to
play any DVD disc. Not all DVD discs
encode a Rating, so it is still possible
that discs designed for adult audi-
ences can still play without requiring
a password.
The default rating is Level 8 (play all
discs without a password) and the
default password is 0000.

CD/DVD DISC
MAINTENANCE
To keep a CD/DVD in good condition,
take the following precautions:
1. Handle the disc by its edge; avoid
touching the surface.
2. If the disc is stained, clean the
surface with a soft cloth, wiping from
center to edge.
3. Do not apply paper or tape to the
disc; avoid scratching the disc.
4. Do not use solvents such as ben-
zene, thinner, cleaners, or anti-static
sprays.
5. Store the disc in its case after play-
ing.
6. Do not expose the disc to direct
sunlight.7. Do not store the disc where tem-
peratures may become too high.
NOTE: If you experience diffi-
culty in playing a particular disc, it
may be damaged (i.e., scratched,
reflective coating removed, a hair,
moisture or dew on the disc) over-
sized, or have protection encoding.
Try a known good disc before con-
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.
