SAFE OPERATION
Before You Drive
What You Should Know About Having and Using the Auto Video Entertainment System
in Your Vehicle
The Auto VideoEntertainment System is
designed for rear passengers only. The driver
cannot safely view the FPD (flat panel
display) while driving and should not attempt
to do so. Many states have laws that restrict
using a device in the vehicle that receives a
television broadcast.
In most states it is unlawful for the FPD
screen to be visible to the driver, while other
states have yet to address this issue. The
screen can not be located at any point
forward of the back of the driver's seat in:
AL, AZ, CA, CO, LA, MA, MD, MN, NH,
NC, OR, PA, SC, WA and WI.
The following guidelines will help you
operate your video entertainment system
safely and legally:
Never try to drive and view the screen.
Keep the back of the driver's seat forward of
the screen.
If you have a question, please call the Rosen
Tech Center at 1-888-883-2790.

DEPLOYMENT AND STOWING
Depending on your type of vehicle, and the
particular Auto Video™ System installed,
the Auto Video™ screen will deploy and
stow in one of the following ways:
PUSH BUTTON
The push button on the overhead console releases
the Auto Video™ screen just far enough so that it
can easily be position for optimal viewing. This
action sends power automatically to all the system
components. The screen will display the last video
signal chosen. (see 2-6 configuring your system)

PULL LATCH
Your system may have a pull latch located on the
bottom of the case. Pull latch down to deploy, the
Auto Video™ screen automatically sends power to
all the system components.

MANUAL CONTROLS
The buttons located on the side
of the screen perform many of
the same functions as the
system remote.
By depressing any of these buttons once, the OSM

Status Indicator Light
The status indicator light is located on the right
side face of the viewing panel just under the word
"POWER". This indicator will display green when
the vehicle’s key is turned on. This indicates that
the system is ready for operation. The video
entertainment system includes a temperature
sensor. This sensor prevents the system from
operating when the temperature inside the vehicle
is too cold or too hot. The status LED will flash
green under this condition. This is a normal
feature of the system. As the interior of the vehicle
warms up or cools down the LED will return to a
constant green light and the system will be ready
for operation.

others can listen to the radio.
To select the wireless headphones, be
sure the on/off switch is in the ‘on’

with a fine tuning adjustment on the
bottom of the left ear piece. Turn up the
volume until you hear static or system
sound. To tune out static or receive a
stronger stereo signal use this
adjustment. Once you have a good
signal, turn the volume up to desired
level.
WARNING:

SYSTEM AUDIO MODULATOR
When desired, Auto Video system sound can be enjoyed by all passengers in your vehicle through
the factory radio sound system. Even though you cannot see the Rosen Audio Modulator because it is
installed behind the dashboard, it enables the audio signal from the video source you select to work
with your vehicle radio. Select the AUDIO button on the remote or the SPEAKER button on the
LCD case. The monitor will display "SPEAKER ON". Then just tune to 88.7 FM to hear the sound
and use the radio controls to adjust volume. You may want to preset one of your radio buttons to 88.7
FM to make operating the system quick and easy.
You also are able to preselect what mode your system's audio will power up in. Refer to OMS 4-3 for
configuring the audio of your system.

AC POWER INVERTERS
Specification:
Power Inverter
Some video game systems, camcorders,
and other video devices require 120 VAC
"household" current instead of the 12
VDC supplied by your vehicle. These
devices require the use of an AC power
inverter (not a converter) to change the
vehicle’s 12 VDC to 120 VAC.
Inverters usually plug into the vehicle's
cigarette lighter or 12 VDC power point
and the video device plugs into them. It
is absolutely essential that the inverter
be rated to supply AC power equal to
or greater than the power requirement
(in watts) of the video device. (See
specification below.) These power
inverters are available from your
dealer/installer.
Most game systems require an inverter supplying a minimum of 140 watts output
