When listening to a CD Audio or CD Data disc, pushing the remote control’s POP-UP/MENU button displays a list of all commands which control playback of the disc.

When watching a video source (Blu-ray™ Disc or DVD Video with the disc in Play mode, Aux Video, etc.), pushing the remote control’s SETUP button activates the Display Settings menu. These settings control the appearance of the video on the screen. The factory default settings are already set for optimum viewing, so there is no need to change these settings under normal circumstances.

To change the settings, push the remote control’s Navigation buttons (▴, ▾) to select an item, then push the remote control’s Navigation buttons (▸, ◂) to change the value for the currently selected item. To reset all values back to the original settings, select the Default Settings menu option and push the remote control’s ENTER/OK button.

 

Disc Features control the remote Blu-ray™ Disc player's settings of DVD being watched in the remote player.

Listening To Audio With The Screen Closed To listen to only the audio portion of the channel with the screen closed:

Set the audio to the desired source and channel.

Close the video screen.

To change the current audio mode, push the remote control’s Source button. This will automatically select the next available audio mode without using the Mode/Source Select menu.

When the screen is reopened, the video screen will automatically turn back on and show the appropriate display menu or media.

If the screen is closed and there is no audio heard, verify that the headphones are turned on (the On indicator is illuminated) and the headphone selector switch is on the desired channel. If the headphones are turned on, push the remote control’s power button to turn audio on. If audio is still not heard, check that the batteries are fully charged.

If the Blu-ray™ Disc player is unable to read the disc, a "Disc Error" message is displayed on the rear screen and Radio displays. 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 two seconds, the Blu-ray™ Disc player will attempt to continue playing the disc by skipping forward one to three seconds at a time. If the end of the

disc is reached, the Blu-ray™ Disc player will 5

return to the beginning of the disc and attempt to play the start of the first track.

The Blu-ray™ Disc player may shut down during extremely hot conditions, such as when the vehicle’s interior temperature is above 120°F (48.9°C). When this occurs, the player will display "High Temp" and will shut off the rear seat displays until a safe temperature is reached. This shutdown is necessary to protect the optics of the Blu-ray™ Disc player.
