Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Audiovox VME 8013 Mobile Multimedia Receiver. It’s a good idea to read all of the instructions before beginning the installation. We recommend having your Audiovox VME 8013 installed by a reputable installation shop.

Installation

This unit is designed for installation in cars, trucks and vans with an existing radio opening. In many cases, a special installation kit will be required to mount the radio to the dashboard. These kits are available at electronics supply stores and car stereo specialty shops. Always check the kit application before purchasing to make sure the kit works with your vehicle.

Tools and Supplies

The following tools and supplies are needed to install the radio:

• Torx type, flathead and Philips screwdrivers

• Wire cutters and strippers

• Tools to remove existing radio (screwdriver, socket wrench set or other tools)

• Electrical tape

• Crimping tool

• Volt meter/test light

• Crimp connections

• 18 gauge wire for power connections

• 16-18 gauge speaker wire

Preparation

Disconnect Battery

Before you begin, always disconnect the battery negative terminal.

NOTE:

If the VME 8013 is to be installed in a car equipped with an onboard drive or navigation computer, do not disconnect the battery cable. If the cable is disconnected, the computer memory may be lost. Under these conditions, use extra caution during installation to avoid causing a short circuit.

Remove Radio from Sleeve

Lift latches on both sides of sleeve to remove half-sleeve from radio.

Mounting Sleeve Installation

1. Slide the mounting sleeve off the chassis. If it is locked into position, use the removal tools (supplied) to disengage it.

2. Check the dashboard opening size by sliding the mounting sleeve into it. If the opening is too small, carefully cut or file as necessary until the sleeve easily slides into the opening. Do not force the sleeve into the opening or cause it to bend or bow. Check for sufficient space behind the dashboard for the radio chassis.

3. Locate the series of bend tabs along the top, bottom, and sides of the mounting sleeve. With the sleeve fully inserted into the dashboard opening, bend as many of the tabs outward as necessary to firmly secure the sleeve to the dashboard.

CAUTION: For proper operation of the DVD player, the chassis must be mounted within 20° of horizontal. Make sure the unit is mounted within this limitation.

4. Place the radio in front of the dashboard opening so the wiring can be brought through the mounting sleeve. Follow the wiring diagram carefully and make certain all connections are secure and insulated with wire nuts or electrical tape. See “Wiring” on page 5. After completing the wiring connections, turn the unit on to confirm operation (vehicle ignition must be on). If the unit does not operate, re-check all wiring until the problem is corrected.

5. Make sure the radio is right-side up, then carefully slide the radio into the mounting sleeve until it is fully seated and the spring clips lock it into place.

Many types of software are available for converting audio files into MP3/WMA formats. This unit can play MP3 (MPEG1, 2, 2.5 Audio Layer 3). However, the MP3 recording media and accepted formats are limited. When writing MP3/ WMA, pay attention to the following restrictions.

Acceptable Media

The MP3/WMA recording media acceptable to this unit are CD-ROM, CDR, CD-RW, and DVD. The unit will also play MP3, WMA, or photo files written to SD Cards, USB Devices. Depending on the media type and recording method, some CD-R/RWs may be incompatible with this unit. When using CD-RW, use full format rather than quick format to prevent malfunction. This unit supports playback of MP3/WMA and CDDA (CDA), Mixed-Mode CDs and CD-Extra (including multi-session discs). Discs on which the session has not been closed will not play.

NOTE: This unit supports FAT 16 and FAT 32 file systems. The unit supports USB 1.1 only, but will play USB 2.0 devices at USB 1.1 speed.

Subject to technical changes

Acceptable Medium Formats

The following formats are available for the media used in this unit. The maximum number of characters used for file name, including the delimiter (".") and three-character extension, are indicated in parentheses.

• ISO 9660 Level 1 (11 characters)

• ISO 9660 Level 2 (31 characters)

• Joliet (31 characters)

• Romeo (31 characters)

Up to 200 characters can be displayed in the long file name format. For a list of available characters, see the instruction manual of the writing software and the section “Entering File and Folder Names” that follows. The media reproducible on this unit has the following limitations:

• Maximum number of nested folders: 8

• Maximum number of files per disc: 1500

• Maximum number of folders per disc: 255

MP3/WMA files written in formats other than those listed above will not play successfully and their file or folder names will not display properly. MP3/WMA Encoder and CD Writer Settings Use the following settings when compressing audio data with the MP3 encoder.

• Transfer bit rate: 8 - 320 kbps

• Sampling frequency: 8, 11.025, 12, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48 kHz

Entering ID3 Tag

This unit supports ID3 tag version 2.0. For character codes, refer to the table to the right.

Entering File and Folder Names

Names using the code list characters are the only file names and folder names that can be entered and displayed. Using any other character will cause the file and folder names to be displayed incorrectly. The unit recognizes and plays only files with the MP3/WMA extension.

NOTE: A file name entered with characters not on the code list may not play correctly.

Electronic Shock Protection

• 10 seconds for CD-DA (CDA)

• >45 seconds for MP3 recorded at 44.1kHz, 128kbps

• >90 seconds for WMA recorded at 44.1kHz, 128kbps

Bit Rates

The unit supports bit rates from 32 - 320 kbps.

MP3 Playing Order

When selected for play, files and folders (Folder Search, File Search or Folder Select) are accessed in the order in which they were written to the media. As a result, the order in which they are expected to be played may not match the order in which they are actually played. You may be able to set the order in which MP3/WMA files are to be played by assigning file names beginning with play sequence numbers such as "01" to "99". For example, a medium with the following folder/file hierarchy is subject to Folder Search, File Search or Folder Select as shown below.

The VME 8013 player will only recognize three folder levels and does not display folders containing only other folders. In the example above, the unit will display folders 3, 4, 6, and 8, but not 2 and 7 since they do not contain any tracks directly. Folder 5 is not recognized at all since it is at the fourth level.

1. When cleaning the vehicle interior, do not get water or cleaning fluids on the unit.

2. The DVD player will not operate properly in extreme hot/cold or under damp conditions. In case of such conditions, wait until the vehicle interior reaches a normal temperature or any condensation on the disc player lens has evaporated before using the player.

3. Always remove the disc when the player is not in use.

4. The unit is designed with a vibration dampening disc mechanism to minimize interruption of disc play due to normal vibration in a moving vehicle. However, occasional sound skips may occur when driving on very rough roads. This will not scratch or damage the disc, and normal play will resume when the rough conditions cease.

CD-R and CD-RW Capability

Depending on media type and method of "recording/burning", some CD-R/ RWs may be incompatible with this unit. After "recording/burning", the session must be closed. Please refer to your software's recommended procedures for closing a disc/session. Review your recording software to familiarize yourself with the correct "recording/burning" procedures. We recommend using the latest versions of ROXIOTM or NEROTM burning software. In addition, this unit will only recognize the CDDA (Compact Disc Digital Audio), .MP3 and .WMA formats "recorded / burned" onto a CD-R/RW. This unit does not support .WAV, .OGG or other formats.

Disc Care and Handling

Dirt, dust, scratches and warpage can cause skips in the playback and deterioration of sound quality. Please follow these guidelines to take care of your compact discs.

1. Do not touch the disc surface.

2. Never use chemicals such as record sprays or household cleaners to clean discs, as they can irreparably damage the disc’s surface.

3. Discs should be kept in their storage cases when not in use.

4. Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperatures or high humidity for long periods.

5. Carefully wipe fingerprints, dust and dirt from the disc’s playing surface with a soft cloth. Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to the outside of the disc.

6. Do not stick paper, tape or disc labels on disc surfaces, as internal damage may occur.
