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

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.)

DVD Region Icons

ALL

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).
