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
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.

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.

comfort level, it is not necessary to
change the settings. You will experi-
ence the greatest efficiency by simply
allowing the system to function auto-
matically.
NOTE:
It is not necessary to move thetemperature settings for cold or
hot vehicles. The system auto-
matically adjusts the tempera-
ture, mode and fan speed to pro-
vide comfort as quickly as
possible.
The temperature can be dis- played in English or Metric units
by selecting the “Display Units
of Measure in” customer-
programmable feature. Refer to
the “Electronic Vehicle Informa-
tion Center (EVIC) — Customer-
Programmable Features” in this
Section.

fort in the automatic mode, during
cold start-ups, the blower fan will re-
main on low until the engine warms
up. The fan will engage immediately if the Defrost mode is selected, or by
changing the front blower knob set-
ting.

of manual override features. The
AUTO symbol in the front ATC dis-
play will be turned off when the sys-
tem is being used in the manual mode.

matically sense the presence of fog,
mist or ice on the windshield. DE-
FROST mode must be manually
selected to clear the windshield
and side glass.
Air Conditioning (A/C)
The Air Conditioning (A/C) button
allows the operator to manually acti-
vate or deactivate the air conditioning
system. When in A/C mode and the
ATC is set to a cool temperature, de-
humidified air flows through the air
outlets. If Economy mode is desired,
press the A/C button to turn off the
A/C mode in the ATC display and
deactivate the A/C system.
NOTE:
If the system is in Mix, Floor or
Defrost Mode, the A/C can be
turned off, but the A/C system
shall remain active to prevent
fogging of the windows.
If fog or mist appears on the windshield or side glass, select
