Safety Instructions

Read this manual in its entirety before beginning

the installation. It has important information

about safety hazards during vehicle operation.

This system is designed and intended for instal-

lation by MECP certified installers. It requires

tools, equipment and product installation tech-

niques common to the Mobile Electronics indus-

try; therefore it is not recommended that the

consumer try to install this system. Installations

performed by unqualified persons could result in

damage to the vehicles electrical system. Please

consult with your authorized retailer to have

this system installed.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS EQUIPMENT TO

DIRECTED ELECTRONICS, INC. DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY BODILY INJURY, INCLUDING FATALITIES, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE THAT MAY RESULT FROM ANY IMPROPER OR UNINTENDED USES OF THIS PRODUCT.

DO NOT MAKE MODIFICATIONS THAT WILL COMPROMISE ANY OF THE VEHICLES SAFETY EQUIPMENT. MODIFYING OR CONNECTING TO WIRES FOR THE BRAKE OR LIGHTING SYSTEM COULD CAUSE POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS DRIVING SITUATIONS.

DO NOT MOUNT THIS OR ANY OTHER COMPONENT IN FRONT OF OR NEAR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. EXPLOSIVE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT COULD THROW A COMPONENT TOWARD THE PASSENGER CAUSING INJURY.

1. It is dangerous for the vehicle operator to watch the video while driving and, in most cases, it is illegal for the vehicle operator to use a Mobile Video system while driving. Please be a safe driver. Any viewing by the driver during vehicle operation could cause a collision or injury.

2. This unit does not have any consumerrepairable components. Any attempts to alter this product could result in fire or electric shock. Repairs performed by anyone other than an authorized repair facility will void the warranty.

3. The only replaceable component to this system is the optional TV tuner (TVM300), and should only be installed by an authorized retailer.

4. If the system stops working normally, discontinue operation immediately and consult your authorized retailer for service.

5. Operate the system in a safe manner. Excessively high volume levels that impair your ability to hear noises from outside the vehicle can be a hazard to yourself and other motorists.

6. Before attempting to make adjustments to the system, move the vehicle to a safe place away from traffic and stop. Driving while distracted can cause accidents and injuries.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

1. This product is designed for installation into vehicles with standard (-) 12 volt ground electrical systems.

2. All components should be installed in a manner that will not interfere with the normal operation of the vehicle.

3. Route all wires and cables so they cannot be pinched, punctured, or chaffed by sharp metal or screws during reassembly or vehicle operation.

4. Disconnect the battery’s negative terminal or remove any fuses from circuits that are affected before the installation.

5. Components should not be installed on areas of high moisture, dust, or heat, and should not be exposed to direct sunlight.

6. All wiring connections should be made using solder and tape or quality solderless connectors. Never leave bare wires. Always terminate unused wires.

7. Before drilling, always check behind panels for clearance to factory wires, hoses, gas tanks, or brake lines.

8. Fuses should only be replaced with like fuses of the same value. If the replacement fuse fails, discontinue operation and contact your authorized retailer.

INSTALLING THE TVM 300

Installing the TVM300 requires working on the

PC board of the MCB1000. Only a MECP Certified

technician should perform this installation.

TV RECEPTION WARNING

Television reception in an automobile is con-

stantly affected due to vehicle movement

around obstructions and high-energy sources.

Location, weather, automobile construction, and

installation can all affect reception.

Possible areas of poor reception include:

■

Hospitals

■

Military bases

■

Airports

■

High power wires

■

Large buildings

■

Distance from transmitter

1. Audio out - Use these outputs for stereo

audio signal to IR wireless headphones or an FM modulator. The audio zones correspond to the same monitor zones so any time a source is changed the audio will follow.

2. Monitor zones - These eight-pin DIN plugs

are audio and video outputs. Using the VDC100, they plug directly into the Directed Video line of overhead and headrest monitors. They include stereo audio signal, video signal, IR signal, and data signal for ESP/ESP2 communication.

3. ESP/ESP2 Port - This three-pin port is for

adding the ESP/ESP2 security system with two-way communication. It allows information to flow between the security system and the MCB 1000. User-programmable features of the ESP/ESP2 systems can be changed using on screen menus. Security system violations can be reported on screen with the name of the violated zone or sensor displayed.

4. FM Modulator control - This plug is used

for controlling power to the RFM100 FM modulator. The MCB1000 will turn the RFM

100 power on/off by the ignition switch or the system operator can turn the FM modulator on/off by remote control.

5. Infrared input - This is a 3.5mm pin plug

for a remote IR eye. The optional IR 100 Infrared remote receiver can be added to the system to allow full control from any location in the vehicle.

6. Extended menu switch - Set this switch

to the ON position and a special Setup Menu for the installer will appear on screen with the rest of the menus. It is designed allow the installer to customize the system hardware operation, program the Directed ESP/ESP2 security system trigger names, and name the AV zones for the on-screen display. Set the switch to the OFF position and the Setup Menu no longer appears with the on-screen menus. Refer to the On-screen Programming guide for further information.

Wire and Cable Connections

1. Indicator Led - Indicates power on/off

2. Power connector:

■

RED - Accessory power. Connect to (+) 12 volt wire that turns on/off with the ignition.

■

YELLOW - Constant power. Connect to (+) 12 volt wire that has constant power.

■

BLACK - Connect to (-) chassis ground.

3. AV source - These are eight-pin DIN con-

nectors for three of the AV input zones. Each connector provides input/outputs for video, stereo audio, and Infrared remote operation. For a guide to the capabilities of the MCB 1000 refer to the System

Capabilities Diagram.

4. TV antenna connector - This is a standard F-type TV antenna connector. It can be connected to with Directed Video's TVA 10 telescoping antenna for broadcast TV or a standard cable TV connection.

5. Audio level controls - These are adjustable source audio input level controls. When adjusting the system, all source inputs should be matched for consistent volume level when changing sources.

Low current only, or else DO NOT connect to source main power.
