a CD-R, CD-RW) or a DVD disc (usu-
ally a DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW or

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

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.
