Compressed Video Files (DivX)
The Blu-ray player is capable of play-
ing DivX files from a CD disc (usually
a CD-R, CD-RW) or a DVD disc (usu-
ally a DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW or
DVD+RW).
The Blu-ray player always uses the file extension to determine the
video format, so DivX files must
always end with the extension
“.div”, “divx” or “.avi”. To prevent
210
incorrect playback, do not use these
extensions for any other types of
files.
For DivX files, only DivX Home Theater Profile Ver.3.0 is
supported.
Any file that is copy protected will not play. The Blu-ray player will
automatically skip the file and be-
gin playing the next available file.
Other compression formats such as Xvid and RMP4 will not play. The
Blu-ray player will automatically
skip the file and begin playing the
next available file.
For the lack of indexes DivX files, “Resume Play, “Fast Forward” and
“Fast Rewind” cannot be
supported.
DivX Home Theater Profile 3.0 re- quires:
Maximum resolution 720 x 480 @ 30fps or 720 x 576 @ 25fps

gressive source 30 frames per

To change the current chapter, use the remote control’s or Blu-ray
player’s “Fast Forward” button to
advance to the next chapter, or the
“Fast Rewind” button to return to
the start of the current or previous
chapter.
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
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.
