Rosen G10 Owner’s Manual

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on owning a Rosen Entertainment System! Here’s a partial list of some things you can do with your system:

·Play DVD movies, music CDs, or discs with MP3 audio files.

·Play video games.

·Listen using the vehicle speakers or the wireless headphones.

·Use external audio/video units like video game consoles, camcorders, or optional units like a TV tuner or a DVD changer.

With optional dual-channel wireless headphones, you can also listen to CD-Audio or MP3 audio while another user plays the built-in video game.

Add an optional second display, and two users can simultaneously play video and listen to sound from two different source units. For instance, one user can watch and listen to a DVD while the other plays the built-in video game. Or with the optional AC3247 wireless controller, two players can play certain games at the same time.

Your system includes the following components:

·An overhead, wide-screen, flat-panel display.

·A built-in overhead DVD/CD/MP3 Player.

·A built-in video game system with a game controller (AC3131).

·Two pair of wireless infrared headphones (AC3003).

·A remote control (AC3074).

·A stereo FM modulator (this lets the system audio play over your vehicle speakers).

·Other parts and cables installed out of sight in your vehicle.

Precautions

In order to operate the system, the

 

 

ACC or engine

vehicle ignition key switch must be

 

 

ON position

 

 

 

in the ACC or engine ON position.

Use this system only if properly installed by a qualified installer.

If the unit shows any sign of overheating or malfunction, close the

display and consult your dealer immediately. Do not open the unit - there are no serviceable parts inside.

Do not press on the display surface - you might damage it.

Clean the LCD panel with a slightly damp, soft cloth using

household glass cleaner. Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, or commercially available cleaners.

When using portable radios and telephones near the system, picture or sound interference may occur.

If your car was parked in a very cold or very hot place, you may

see a temperature warning on the screen instead of a picture.

The picture will return after the system temperature returns to normal.

Note:

The system’s operating voltage range is 11-16VDC operating voltage. The system operating temperature is 32o to 140o F ( 0o to 60o C). Use of the system beyond the safe operating ranges listed can cause temporary or permanent damage to the unit, and such damage may not be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.

DISCS PLAYED

Compatible Discs

DVD, Video CD (VCD), and CD-Audio discs discs are compatible with the A10 system. Compatible discs have these logos on their labels:

Also, the unit can play most CD-Recordable discs containing CDAudio, MP3 files, and JPEG images - but not all such discs. Since these discs are usually made on home computers, there is no certification process ensuring that all such discs play on all players.

DVD Regions

When a DVD disc is created, it is encoded with a “Region number”.

The disc will only play on DVD players with the same Region number

- for instance, a Region 3 disc won’t play on a Region 1 player.

Region 1: U.S. and U.S. Territories, Canada

Region 2: Japan, Western Europe, Middle East, South Africa

Region 3: South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast and East Asia

Region 4: New Zealand, Australia, Pacific Islands, Mexico, Central/ South America.

Region 5: Russia and the former Soviet Union, Africa, Indian subcontinent, North Korea

Region 6: China

Region 8: Special International Venues (Cruise Ships, Airlines, etc.)

Incompatible Discs

The following disc types are incompatible with the system:

·DVD-ROM discs.

·DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD-RAM discs.

·Photo CD discs, including Kodak Picture CDs.

·CD-ROM data discs.

·CD-Audio discs made with certain copy protection methods.

·Any DVD with a different Region number than the unit.

·Any disc that does not meet DVD Forum standards.

Why the system doesn’t respond the same way to all discs

When a DVD disc is created, the creator has to define how the disc will operate when loaded into a DVD player. For instance, some discs begin playing immediately, while other discs only display a menu and require a menu selection to be made before playback will start.

The DVD standard also allows the maker of a DVD disc to disable functions at certain times, such as Fast-Forward and Stop (which is why you can’t skip past the copyright warning screen). If some DVD feature temporarily isn’t working for you, usually the disc is preventing the player from performing that function.

Discs that don’t properly load and play

Some CD and DVD discs, especially homemade discs which do not have all the data needed to properly initialize all DVD players, may not load and play properly. They may even create a state where the DVD player will not eject the disc at all. In these cases, use a paper clip to press the Reset button (this button’s location is shown on page 7).
