DVD device




The system consists of two DVD devices with DVD player integrated in the screens. To access the DVD player, lift the button mounting at the lower edge of the screen. Discs are inserted via a feed slot in the DVD player.
Two DVD devices are included in the original installation kit: a DRIVER and a PASSENGER. A DVD device (DRIVER) is available as a replacement part. Select DVD device via the remote control. The screen is recoded via the service menu.
The DVD unit's mechanism is designed to withstand shaking to prevent the image or audio quality from being distorted during playback.
The DVD device is region coded, which can be changed using a security code. The screen is designed for PAL and NTSC image display.
The DVD device interprets and performs the commands that are specified by the user via the system's remote control or via the screen's front panel.
The DVD device has memory handling to remember where, for example, in a film different power cut-offs occurred.
The system is 15-supplied, which means that the ignition must be on to activate the system. When the ignition is switched off, the system shuts down automatically. There is also a voltage sensor that switches off the system when the battery has a low voltage level. Depending on which POWER-mode the system is set to, the screen will react differently when the DVD device is switched ON/OFF. Coding of POWER-mode can be done via a service menu.
The audio to the car's stereo can be switched off or on regardless of the setting of the headsets. However, if the customer connects an external source to the car's own A/V input, audio cannot be played-back from the system for rear seat entertainment in the car's stereo.
To select external audio and image sources there is a separate A/V input for each DVD unit. The A/V input is on the lower edge on the right-hand corner of the screen.
