unit, or to a clean, unpainted metal part of the automobile chassis using a
ring terminal and a sheet metal screw.
5. Connect the ACC wire to the factory accessory or ignition wire, which
receives power when the key is turned on.

screen capability for the Touch Screen function to wo rk.
IR Interference
When used in or near direct sunlight, you may experience loud background
noise or a low audio signal. This is inherent in Infrared Ray communication
and does not mean there is a problem with the MZ7TFT itself.
If you use the MZ7TFT by a window with bright sunlight, draw the curtains/
blinds to shut out the direct sunlight, or use the MZ7TFT away from the
sunlight.
Menu Operation
While the monitor is turned on, press the POWER button to access the “MAIN
MENU” on the MZ7TFT screen. Touch a main menu selection to see the
corrresponding sub-menu.

channel, and each MZ7TFT must be set to transmit on the same
channel as the headphone (i.e., left seat monitor/headphones set to
channel A and right seat monitor/headphones set to channel B). This
will prevent interference of audio by the IR signal being transmitted
from two monitors on the same channel. This is inherent in Infrared
Ray communication and does not mean there is a problem with the
MZ7TFT itself.
• SCREEN ADJUST
Selecting the Input Signal
The unit is provided with a AV-IN jack on the front of the monitor, as well as
AV1 inputs for your head unit or other device with composite video and line
level audio output.
When connecting the monitor to an alternate A/V device, you can plug an A/V
