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 such as video game
consoles, ipod, ipod video, or optional TV tuner or DVD
changer.
· Add an optional second display, and two users can simultaneously use the system. For instance, one user can watch
and listen to a DVD while the other plays the built-in video
game.
In order to operate the system, the
ACC or eng
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 disassemble the unit - there are no serviceable parts
inside.
• Do not press on the display surface - you may damage it.
• Clean the display surface with a slightly damp, soft cloth
using household glass cleaner. Do not use solvents such
as benzene, thinner, ammonia, or commercially availa ble
cleaners.
· Add a Rosen digital video recorder which allows you to
record from DVDs, TV, or a personal computer to create a
library with over 20 hours of movies.
Your system includes the following components:
· An overhead, wide-screen, fl at-panel display.
· A built-in overhead DVD/CD/MP3 player.
· Built-in video games with a game controller.
· A pair of wireless infrared headphones.
· Remote control.
· A stereo FM transmitter (this allows the system audio play
over your vehicle’s speakers).
• 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 hot place, you may
see a distorted picture or black screen. The picture will
return when the system temperature returns to the normal
operating range.
• During over/under temperature conditions the display will be
black and control panel lights will fl ash.
Note: The system’s operating voltage range is 10-16VDC
operating voltage. The system operating temperature is 32
o
to 140
operating ranges listed can cause temporary or permanent
damage to the unit, and such damage may not be covered by

DISCS PLAYED
Compatible Discs
DVD, Video CD (VCD), and CD-Audio discs are compatible with the
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
INCOMPATIBLE DISCS
The following disc types are incompatible with this 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
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.)

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 a DVD feature
isn’t working for you, usually the disc is preventing the player from
performing that function temporarily.
Discs that don’t properly load and play
Some CD and DVD discs, especially homemade and low quality 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).
