2016 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Owners Manual

The recommended method for labeling 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, become stuck, and cause permanent damage to the
DVD player.
Compressed Audio Files (MP3 / WMA and ACC)
The DVD/Blu-ray Player (if equipped) is capable of
playing MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3) and WMA (Win-
dows 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 audio format, so MP3 files must always
end with the extension .mp3or.MP3 and WMA
files must always end with the extension .wmaor
.WMA. AAC files must always end with the exten-
sion aac orAAC. To prevent incorrect playback, do
not use these extensions 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 down-
loaded 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
player will automatically skip the file and begin play-
ing 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
4

supported. For both formats, 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 con-
trol’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 displayed on the Radio display and the disc is
automatically ejected. A dirty, damaged, or incompatible
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 playing 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 during extremely hot
conditions, such as when the vehicle’s interior tempera-
ture is above 120° F (49° C). The Blu-ray Player may shut
down when the vehicle’s interior temperature exceeds
140° F (60° C). When this occurs, the DVD/Blu-ray Player
will display
High Temp and will shut off the display
until a safe temperature is reached. This shutdown is
necessary to protect the optics of the DVD/Blu-ray
Player.
The Blu-ray player may require additional reading time
during extremely cold weather conditions. When this
occurs, allow the vehicles interior temperature to warm,
then insert disc into player.

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 designated 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 passen-
ger 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 audiences can still play
without requiring a password.
