INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing a Rosen Entertainment System!
Here’s a list of some things you can do with your system:
· Play DVD movies, music CDs, or discs with MP3 audio fi les.
· 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.
Your system includes the following components:
· An overhead, wide-screen, fl at-panel display.
· A built-in overhead DVD/CD/MP3 Player.
· Two (2) wireless infrared headphones.
· Remote control.
· A stereo FM modulator (this lets the system audio play over
your vehicle speakers). Optional in some systems.
· Other parts and cables installed out of sight in your vehicle.
PRECAUTIONS
In order to operate the system, the
vehicle ignition key switch must be
in the ACC or engine ON position.
• Use this system only if properly installed by a qualifi ed
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 availa ble 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 distorted 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
o
32
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 T8 system. Compatible discs have these logos on their labels:
Also, the unit can play most CD-Recordable discs containing CD-Audio, MP3 fi les, and JPEG images - but not all such discs. Since these
discs are usually made on home computers, there is no certifi cation
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, Pacifi c Islands, Mexico, Central/
South America.
Region 5: Russia and the former Soviet Union, Africa, Indian subconti-
nent, 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/DVD-RAM/DVD+RAM discs.
· Most DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD+R/DVD+RW discs.
· Some Photo CD discs.
· 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 defi ne 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).
