INTRODUCTION

The DVA-3210 is a full-featured 10-disc changer, supporting
DVD, CD-Video, CD-Audio, and MP3 playback, and is
designed specifically for the mobile environment. It is
intended for use with other Rosen/necvox products, and can
also be integrated with many other products as part of a
complete mobile video solution. With a digital audio output,
the DVA-3210 can also support use of optional digital audio
processors. The DVA-3210 incorporates many different video
output settings to allow the best possible viewing experience,
regardless of what type of video monitor you may be using.

The DVA-3210 plays DVD discs in PAL or NTSC formats
(NTSC is the standard North American video format), CD­Audio discs, and CD-recordable discs with MP3 files. For
more details on disc types supported, please see “Discs
Played by the DVA-3210.”

The DVA-3210 can connect directly to certain Rosen and
necvox products (see your Rosen/necvox dealer for details).
To connect to other products, the optional DVD Interface Kit is
required. The optional remote control (included with compat­ible products or with the DVD Interface Kit) provides access
to the full set of standard DVD functions, such as subtitle
control, digital freeze-frame viewing, viewing from multiple
camera angles, selection of various language audio
soundtracks, and digital playback at fast or slow speeds.

Note:

• The DVA-3210 is designed to be a component in a full audio/

video system. If you have any questions about compatible
components, such as monitors, in-dash products, or other audio/
video products, please contact your authorized Rosen/necvox
dealer.
