Why use a video amplifier?

Please read this manual completely
and carefully prior to attempting to
install your new Planet Audio mobile
video equipment. Installed correctly,
your Planet Audio equipment will
provide you with years of enjoyable
and safe usage.

Installation of this equipment in any
portion of a vehicle which impairs or
distracts the driver is improper and
dangerous. Planet Audio assumes no
liability whatsoever for failure to follow
the proper installation of this product.

Please keep this manual in a safe place
for future reference.

• Do not operate any mobile video
equipment while driving – safe driving
should always be your highest priority.

• This product should not be installed
in a system which allows the monitor
screen to be visible to the driver of the
vehicle. In some states and countries,
the viewing of images on a screeen
inside a vehicle is illegal, even by
people other than the driver. Be sure
that the installation and operation of
this system is in compliance with local
rules and regulations.

• Do not open or attempt to repair this
unit yourself. Refer any repairs to a
qualified service technician.

• if there is smoke or any peculiar odor
present during use or if there is damage
to any of the component enclosures,
immediately remove it from your
system and send to your local dealer
or service center as soon as possible.

The PVA7 Video Signal Amplifier can
play a critical role in your mobile video
system.

With the wide range of DVD players,
video games and monitors available,
users often find that the video signal
level is not well matched to their
chosen monitor. This frequently occurs
in systems where more than one
monitor is present.

In such multi-monitor systems, the
video signal from your DVD player (or
other video source) must be split and
routed to the monitors, resulting in a
drop in signal strength to all the
monitors affected.

Typically, a monitor receiving a video
signal whose strength is inadequate
will display an image too dark or
unclear for satisfactory viewing.

By installing a multi-channel video
signal amplifier like the PVA7, you can
independently amplify the signal being
sent to up to seven different monitors.
Each channel has its own output level
control, so the signal level can be
custom-catered to the particular
requirements of each monitor. This can
be critical when there are different
brands and sizes of monitors in the
same system.
