System Information
Shared Modes
This allows the VES to output radio sources to the
headphones and the radio to output VES sources to the
vehicle speakers. When the radio and VES channel 1 or 2
are in the same (shared) mode, a VES icon will be visible
on the radio’s display for that channel, and the shared
icon will be visible on the VES screen. When in shared
mode, the same audio source is heard in the shared
headphone channel 1 or channel 2.
If the radio functions (FM, AM, or SAT) are in the shared
mode with the VES, only the radio is able to control the
radio functions. In this case, VES can share the radio
mode, but not change stations until the radio mode is
changed to a mode that is different from the VES selected
radio mode. When shared, the radio has priority over the
VES or all radio modes (FM, AM, and SAT). The VES hasthe ability to switch tuner (AM/FM), SEEK, SCAN,
TUNE, and recall presets in radio modes as long as it is
not in shared mode.
When in shared disc mode both the radio and the VES
have control of the video functions. The VES has the
ability to control the following video modes:
1. CD: Ability to Fast Forward, Rewind, Scan, and Track
Up/Down.
2. CD Changer (in radio): Ability to Disk Up/Down and program all listed CD controls (Fast Forward, Rewind,
Scan, and Track Up/Down).
The VES can even control radio modes or video modes
while the radio is turned off. The VES can access the
radio modes or disc modes by navigating to those modes
on the VES and activating a radio mode or disc mode.

DVD/Blu-ray/BD Region Codes
The 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 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 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 (either pressed or recorded) are not sup-
ported.
If you record a disc using a personal computer, there may
be cases where the DVD player may not be able to play
some or the entire disc, even if it is recorded in a
compatible format and is playable on other players. To
help avoid playback problems, use the following guide-
lines when recording discs.
•
Open sessions are ignored. Only sessions that are
closed are playable.

Disc Errors
If the DVD player is unable to read the disc, aDisc 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.

Portuguese 2519 Spanish 1418 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 audiences 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.
