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
sh

ared 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
for all radio modes (FM, AM). The VES has the
ability to switch tuner (AM/FM), SEEK, TUNE,
and recall presets in radio modes as long as it is
not in shared mode.
When in shared disc, both the radio and the VES
h a

ve control of the video functions. The VES has
the ability to control the following video modes:
NOTE:
CD: Ability to Fast Forward, Rewind, and
Track Up/Down.
The VES can even control radio modes or video

des 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.

(12 cm) diameter:
DVD-Video discs (MPEG-2 video compres -
sion) (see notes about DVD Region Codes)
Audio Compact Discs (CDs)
CD Data discs with MP3 and WMA
compressed audio format files
Video CDs (MPEG-1 video compression)
DVD Region Codes
The DVD player and many DVD discs are coded

MULTIMEDIA 375
DVD Audio Support
When a DVD-Audio disc is inserted in the DVD
pl

ayer, 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
r e

corded in CD-Audio or Video-CD format, or as a
CD-ROM containing MP3 or WMA files. The player
will also play DVD-Video content recorded to a
DVD-R, DVD-RW and DVD-ROM discs.

If you record a disc using a personal computer,
th
ere 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 guidelines
when recording discs.
Open sessions are ignored. Only sessions
that are closed are playable.
For multi-session CDs that contain only
multiple CD-Audio sessions, the player will
renumber the tracks so each track number is
unique.
For CD Data (or CD-ROM) discs, always use
the ISO-9660 (Level 1 or Level 2), Joliet, or
UDF format. CD-DA may also be used for PCM
Audio contained on CD-Based Data.
The player recognizes a maximum of 512
files and 99 folders per CD-R and CD-RW
disc.
Mixed media recordable DVD formats will
only play the Video_TS portion of the disc.
If you are still having trouble writing a disc that
i s

playable in the DVD player, check with the
disc recording software publisher for more
information about burning playable discs.
The recommended method for labeling
r e

cordable discs (CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R and
DVD-RW) 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 player is capable of playing MP3
(
M

PEG-1 Audio Layer 3 with data bitrates from
32 to 320 kbit/s, including variable bit rates),
WMA (All Standard 8.x, 9.x Windows Media
Audio) and ACC (MPEG-4 audio; sampling
frequencies 8 to 48 kHz; mono and stereo)
audio files with the from 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 ".mp3" or
".MP3", WMA files must always end with the
extension ".wma" or "WMA", and ACC files must
end with the extensions “.acc” or “.m4a”. To
prevent incorrect playback, do not use these
extensions for any other types of files.

For MP3 files, ID3 tag data v1, v1.1, v2 and
v2.4 (such as artist name, track title, album,
etc.) are supported.
Any file that is copy protected (such as those
downloaded from many online music stores)
will not play. The DVD player will automati -
cally skip the file and begin playing the next
a v

ailable file.

Natural Speech

Natural speech allows the user to speak
commands in phrases or complete sentences.
The system filters out certain non-word
utterances and sounds such as “ah” and “eh.”
The system handles fill-in words such as “I would
like to.”

The system handles multiple inputs in the same
ph

rase or sentence such as “make a phone
call” and “to Kelly Smith.” For multiple inputs in
the same phrase or sentence, the system
identifies the topic or context and provides the
associated follow-up prompt such as “Who do
you want to call?” in the case where a phone
call was requested but the specific name was
not recognized.
The system utilizes continuous dialog; when the
s y

stem requires more information from the user
it will ask a question to which the user can
respond without pressing the Uconnect Voice
Command button.
UCONNECT VOICE COMMANDS
The Uconnect Voice Command system
understands two types of commands. Universal
commands are available at all times. Local
commands are available if the supported radio
mode is active.
Start a dialogue by pushing the Uconnect Voice
Co

mmand button.

NOTE:
The commands can be said on any screen when
a

call is not active after pushing the Uconnect
Voice Command button.
