Important Notice

Installation of overhead products requires careful planning and preparation. Be extremely careful when working on a vehicle with side

curtain air bags. Do not route wires near any portion of the side curtain air bag assemblies. This includes any anchor points in A, B, C or D pillars of the vehicle. Routing wires in these areas or running wires by the side curtain air bags can prevent the side curtain air bag from fully deploying which can result in personal injury to vehicle occupants. If you have any questions regarding wire routing in a vehicle, please contact Audiovox Technical Support at 1-800-225-6074.

When connecting power and ground in a mobile video installation ensure that the ACC wire is fused at the point where it is connected to the vehicle ACC wiring. Failure to do so can result in damage to the vehicle if a short circuit develops between the vehicle connection point and the mobile video product.

An LCD panel and/or video monitor may be installed in a motor vehicle and visible to the driver if the LCD panel or video monitor is used for vehicle information, system control, rear or side observation or navigation. If the LCD panel or video monitor is used for television reception, video or DVD play, the LCD panel or video monitor must be installed so that these features will only function when the vehicle is in “park” or when the vehicle's parking brake is applied.

An LCD panel or video monitor used for television reception, video or DVD play that operates when the vehicle is in gear or when the parking brake is not applied must be installed to the rear of the driver's seat where it will not be visible, directly or indirectly, to the operator of the motor vehicle.

Warnings

• Do not use any solvents or cleaning materials when cleaning the video monitor.

• Do not use any abrasive cleaners, they may scratch the screen.

• Use only a lightly dampened lint free cloth to wipe the screen if it is dirty.

• Lock the LCD screen in the fully closed position when not in use.

• Before putting on headphones always adjust the volume setting to the lowest position.

• Remember to leave the dome light switch in the off or auto positions when the vehicle is unattended, as the dome lights, if left on, can drain

the vehicle's battery.

• Do not put pressure on the screen.

• Caution children to avoid touching or scratching the screen, as it may become dirty or damaged.

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM

IR sensor inoperative

Disc won't play

Play starts, but then stops immediately

No sound or distorted sound

Can’t advance through a movie

SOLUTION

Verify that the batteries in the remote are fresh. Verify that the remote sensor eye is not obstructed.

Insert a disc with the label side facing up. Check the type of disc you put into disc tray. This DVD only plays DVDs, audio CDs

and MP3s. Both the unit and the disc are coded by region. If the regional codes don’t match, the disc can’t be played.

The disc is dirty. Clean it. Condensation has formed. Allow player to dry out.

Make sure your DVD is connected properly. Make sure all cables are securely inserted into the appropriate jacks. If you are using the IR headphones, make sure you turn on the IR headphone power. Make sure the Modulator is ON and the proper Frequency has been selected.

You can’t advance through the opening credits and warning information that

appear at the beginning of movies because the disc is programmed to prohibit that action.

Picture is distorted

No forward or reverse scan

Infrared headphone inoperative

The feature or action cannot be completed at this time because:

1. The disc’s software restricts it.

2. The disc’s software doesn’t support the feature (e.g., angles)

3. The feature is not available at the moment.

4. You’ve requested a title or chapter number that is out of range.

The disc might be damaged. Try another disc. It is normal for some distortion to appear during forward or reverse scan.

Some discs have sections that prohibit rapid scanning or title and chapter skip. If you try to skip through the warning information and credits at the beginning of a movie, you won’t be able to. This part of the movie is often programmed to prohibit skipping through it.

Verify that the batteries in the infrared headphone are fresh. Verify the unit infrared sensor eye is not obstructed. To reset the IRT sensor eye back to normal operation, press the screen mode and Power on/off button in the same time (unit in standby mode) to restart the IRT mode program.

If your new vehicle’s radio, CD/DVD player is covered by the manufacturer’s warranty for a period of 48 months as set forth in the OEM Warranty Booklet, the company will extend the Advent Mobile Video product warranty for the same period of time.

This Warranty does not apply to any product or part thereof which, in the opinion of the Company, has suffered or been damaged through alteration, improper installation, mishandling, misuse, neglect, accident, or by removal or defacement of the factory serial number/bar code label(s). THE EXTENT OF THE COMPANY'S LIABILITY UNDER THIS WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO THE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT PROVIDED ABOVE AND, IN NO EVENT, SHALL THE COMPANY'S LIABILITY EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE PAID BY PURCHASER FOR THE PRODUCT.
