Mono/ Stereo

Switch

The MovieVision viewing screen transmits a
signal that is received by the MovieVision head­phones and can also be received by the vehi­cle’s car radio. There are 3 frequencies available
for use but only one can be used at a time.
When you are listening to a movie using the
wireless MovieVision headphones, it is possible
that you could travel through an area where
interference between the screen transmitter and
the headphone receiver is at an unacceptable
level. If this occurs, you can use the 3 position
frequency switch located in the roof housing to
select a different frequency that may have less
or no interference. Each time you change the
transmitting frequency, the headphone/car
radio receiver will have to be retuned to the new
frequency. The 3 frequencies available for use
are 89.7MHz, 90.1MHz or 90.5MHz.

Car Radio Interface:

The signal transmitted from the MovieVision
screen can be received by the existing FM car
radio. This listening mode provides a much
higher quality of sound for all. To listen to the
MovieVision signal through the vehicle stereo
system, use the following procedure:

A.

Turn “ON” the MovieVision system and insert
a DVD/CD or attach an auxiliary signal
source to view on the screen.

B. Turn “ON” the FM radio in your vehicle and

tune the radio to one of the 3 frequencies
transmitted by the MovieVision system.
(89.7MHz - 90.1MHz - 90.5MHz)

C. Adjust the volume and tonal qualities to

suit your listening taste.

Mono/Stereo Switch:

Use the Stereo setting for enhanced sound
effect when environment is noisy or tends to
have interference use Mono setting.

Dome Light Switch

The dome lights located in the MovieVision
screen housing will illuminate whenever the
vehicle doors are open just as the original
dome light did.
To activate the dome lights manually, press
the dome light switch next to the desired
dome light.

Note: Most American made vehicles (Ford,
Chevrolet, Dodge) have a dashboard light dim­mer switch that can be rotated to the maximum
position and the dome lights will illuminate.
Most Japanese or Korean made vehicles do
not have this switch and the lights will have to
be turned on manually as mentioned above.

Warning! In some cases, the dome light may
be hot, proceed with caution. Only replace the
bulb with the recommended size and wattage.
Altering the size, shape or wattage will result
in a damaged housing (melting). Use only
Sylvania or GE model DE3021 for replace­ments.
