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