Entertainment Systems

Saving MP3 files
• Your Family Entertainment System supports discs containing up to

255 files. Discs containing more than 255 files will not play.

• Always save MP3 files with the .mp3 extension. The player recognizes

an MP3 file by the .mp3 extension, so MP3 files saved with different
extensions will not be played. Never save a non-MP3 file with the
.mp3 extension as the file will not play properly.

• The player supports multi session discs. However, be sure to import

the previous session of the disc before you add new files. If you do not
import the previous session, only the last session will be played.

• When burning a disc, ensure that you close/finalize the disc

before playback, or the disc may not play properly or an error
message may appear.

• Some CD-RW discs may operate inconsistently and may cause an error

message to appear. We recommend burning MP3 files onto CD-R discs.

Family Entertainment DVD System protection circuits

High temperature sensor circuit
• Excessively high temperatures may cause damage to the DVD player.
• When the temperature of the DVD player becomes too hot, the high

temperature sensor circuit stops machine operation. DVD/CD HOT will
be displayed on the radio display.

• The DVD player will remain disabled until it cools to a normal

operating temperature. The length of time for the system to cool will
vary depending on the climate and operating conditions.

Operating
• Only use the system when the vehicle is started for optimal

performance and to maintain battery life.

• If the Family Entertainment System (FES) is playing and the ignition

is turned OFF, the system will turn off, and suspend playback. When
the ignition is turned on again, playback will begin from the last
selected media source when the play control is pressed.

• To disable the DVD player rear controls, simultaneously press the 3

and 5 memory presets on the radio face. To enable the DVD player
rear controls again, press the 3 and 5 presets simultaneously.

• The DVD player is only capable of reading the bottom side of a disc.

When inserting a single sided disc, the label should be up. For a
multi-sided disc, the desired play side should be down when the disc
is inserted into the player.

Entertainment Systems

• DVDs are formatted by regions. This DVD system can only play region

1 DVDs (DVDs manufactured for U.S. and Canada).

This unit is designed to play commercially pressed 4.75 (12 cm)
audio compact discs and DVDs only. Due to technical
incompatibility, certain recordable and re-recordable compact
discs may not function correctly when used in Ford DVD/CD
players. Irregular shaped discs, discs with a scratch protection
film attached, and discs with homemade paper (adhesive) labels
should not be inserted into the player. The label may peel and
cause the disc to become jammed. It is recommended that
homemade discs be identified with permanent felt tip marker
rather than adhesive labels. Ball point pens may damage discs.
Please contact your dealer for further information.

Inserting a CD/DVD

With the ignition ON, inserting a CD/DVD into the DVD player
automatically turns ON the FES and playback should begin immediately.

The counter is automatically reset to 0:00:00 when any disc is inserted
into the FES.

1. Press the STOP/EJECT control to stop playback if a disc is playing.

2. Press the STOP/EJECT control again to eject the CD/DVD.

If the CD/DVD is not removed within the allotted time, the system will
pull the CD/DVD back into the system for safety purposes.

If the CD/DVD will not eject from the system, press and hold the EJECT
control for approximately 2 seconds. The disc should eject whether the
vehicle ignition is ON or OFF.

Playing an auxiliary device

1. Connect the video line from your video device to the YELLOW
auxiliary input jack.

2. Connect the left and right audio lines to the WHITE (left) and RED
(right) auxiliary input jacks respectively.

The front glass on the flip-down liquid crystal display (LCD) may
break when hit with a hard surface. If the glass breaks, do not

touch the liquid crystalline material. In case of contact with skin, wash
immediately with soap and water.

Do not expose the flip-down liquid crystal display (LCD) to direct
sunlight or intensive ultraviolet rays for extensive periods of
time. Ultraviolet rays deteriorate the liquid crystal.
• Ensure that you review User Manuals for video games and video game

equipment when used as auxiliary inputs for your Family
Entertainment DVD System.

• Do not operate video games or video equipment if the power cords

and/or cables are broken, split or damaged. Carefully place cords
and/or cables where they will not be stepped on or interfere with the
operation of seats and/or compartments.

• Disconnect video games and video equipment power cords and/or

cables when not in use.

• Avoid touching auxiliary input jacks with your fingers. Do not blow on

them or allow them to get wet or dirty.

• Do not clean any part of the DVD player with benzene, paint thinner

or any other solvent.

Whenever a warning notice is received, the radio volume will be
lowered to a volume that will allow the tones to be heard. The
radio volume will return to the previous level after the warning
notice is complete.

pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, the Family Entertainment System (FES) may cause harmful
interference with radio communications.

Care and service of the DVD player

Environmental extremes

DVD players that are subjected to harsh environmental conditions may
be damaged or perform at less than optimal capability. To avoid these
outcomes, whenever possible avoid exposing your DVD player to:
• extremely hot or cold temperatures.
• direct sunlight.
• high humidity.
• a dusty environment.
• locations where strong magnetic fields are generated.
Temperature extremes

When the vehicle is parked under direct sunlight or in an extremely cold
place for a long period of time, wait until the cabin temperature of the
vehicle is at normal temperature before operating the system.

Humidity and moisture condensation

Moisture in the air will condense in the DVD player under extremely
humid conditions or when moving from a cold to a warm location. If
moisture condensation occurs, do not insert a CD or DVD into the
player. If one is already in the player, remove it and turn the DVD player
ON to dry the moisture before inserting a DVD. This could take an hour
or more depending on the amount of moisture.

Cleaning the liquid crystal display (LCD) flip-down screen

Clean the display screen by applying a small amount of water or any
ammonia-based household glass cleaner directly to a soft cloth. Rub the
screen gently until the dust, dirt or fingerprints are removed. Do not
spray the screen directly with water or glass cleaning solvents. Overspray
from these fluids could drip down into the internal electronics of the
screen and cause damage. Do not apply excessive pressure while
cleaning the screen.

Foreign substances

Exercise care to prevent dirt and foreign objects from entering the DVD
player compartment. If liquid is accidentally spilled onto the system,
immediately turn the system OFF and consult a qualified service
technician.

Cleaning compact discs

Inspect all discs for contamination before playing. If necessary, clean
discs only with an approved CD cleaner and wipe from the center out to
the edge. Do not wipe in a circular motion.

Cleaning the DVD player

Clean the exterior of the DVD player with a damp cloth. Do not use CD
cleaning kits or CDs intended to clean the interior of your DVD player.
Use of these products may damage your system.
