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). The VES™ has the 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 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.

notes about DVD Region Codes)

Disc Formats The VES™ DVD player is capable of playing the follow- ing types of discs (12 mm or 8 mm diameter): • DVD-Video discs (MPEG-2 video compression) (see • DVD-Audio discs (2 channel audio output only) • Audio Compact Discs (CDs) • CD Data discs with MP3 and WMA compressed audio • Video CDs (MPEG-1 video compression) DVD Region Codes The VES™ DVD player and many DVD 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 disc does not match the region code for the player, the disc will not play and will be ejected.

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 or WMA files. The player will also play DVD-Video content recorded to a DVD-R or DVD-RW disc. DVD-ROM discs (either pressed or re- corded) are not supported.

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 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 • 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 Romeo format. Other formats (such as UDF, HFS, or others) are not supported. • 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 is playable in the VES™ DVD player, check with the disc recording software publisher for more information about burning playable discs. 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 and WMA) The DVD player is capable of playing MP3 (MPEG-1
Audio Layer 3) and WMA (Windows 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 ⬙.mp3⬙ or ⬙.MP3⬙ and WMA files must always end with the extension ⬙.wma⬙ or ⬙.WMA⬙. 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 • 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.

386 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

• If you are creating your own files, the recommended fixed bit rate for MP3 files is between 96 and 192Kbps and the recommended fixed bit rate for WMA files is between 64 and 192Kbps. Variable bit rates are also the recommended supported. For both formats, sample rate is either 44.1kHz or 48kHz. • To change the current file, use the remote control’s or DVD player’s 䉱 button to advance to the next file, or the 䉲 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.

Disc Errors If the DVD player is unable to read the disc, a ⬙Disc Error⬙ message is displayed on the VES™ and Radio displays

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. When this occurs, the DVD player will display ⬙VES High Temp⬙ and will shut off the VES™ displays until a safe temperature is reached. This shut- down is necessary to protect the optics of the DVD player.
