HR8D REAR SEAT VIDEO HEADREST SYSTEM Owner’s Manual

Thank you for purchasing the HR8D Rear Seat Video Headrest System. Before operating this system read this manual thoroughly and retain it for future reference.

CONGRATULATIONS

Patented, refer to www.voxxintl.com/company/patents

The Rear Seat Video Headrest System is set-up and adjusted with easy to use menus that are accessed using the remote control or the buttons on the front panel.

The two-channel wireless Infrared (IR) headphones have an A-B switch that allows the users to select the audio from either M1 on “CH A” or M2 on ”CH B”.

The M1 monitor will only respond to the remote control when the Monitor Select “M1” button is pressed.

The M2 monitor will only respond to the remote control when the Monitor Select “M2” button is pressed.

The HR8D Rear Seat Video Headrest System has two replacement video monitor headrests referred to as either “M1” or “M2” in this manual. The system allows the users to watch the same DVD/Video Source on both monitors simultaneously or individual DVD/Video sources on either monitor. The full function wireless remote control operates either monitor by selecting the Monitor Select “M1” or “M2” button.

Each headrest has an 8” LCD monitor with a built-in DVD player that allows the user to select from several sources (DVD/ USB, HDMI®/MHL®, M1/M2, A/V-IN and GAME*). Each monitor has a builtin infrared audio transmitter channel. * GAME Optional

Safety Precaution

For safety reasons, when changing a video disc, it is recommended that the vehicle not be in motion, and that you do not allow children to unfasten safety belts to change a disc or make any adjustments to the system. System adjustments can be accomplished using the remote control, while safety belts remain fastened. Enjoy your entertainment system but remember that the safety of all passengers remains the number one priority.

CAUTION

Always run the vehicle’s engine while using the HR8D Rear Seat Video Headrest System. Using this system without running the engine can result in battery drainage. To avoid the risk of battery drainage, please remember to turn system OFF when the vehicle is not in use for long periods of time.

Important Notice

An LCD Panel and/or Video Monitor may be installed in a motor vehicle and visible to the driver if the LCD Panel or Video Monitor is used for vehicle information, system control, rear or side observation or navigation. If the LCD Panel or Video Monitor is used for television reception, video or DVD play, the LCD Panel or Video Monitor must be installed so that these features will only function when the vehicle is in “park” or when the vehicle’s parking brake is applied.

An LCD Panel or Video Monitor used for television reception, video or DVD play that operates when the vehicle is in gear or when the parking brake is not applied must be installed to the rear of the driver’s seat where it will not be visible, directly or indirectly, by the operator of the motor vehicle.

CAUTIONS

HR8D REAR SEAT VIDEO HEADREST SYSTEM Owner’s Manual

The HR8D Rear Seat Video Headrest System consists of:

1. Two matching Headrests with 8-inch Color TFT-LCD Display Screens (800x4800)16:9 aspect ratio.

2. Two Infrared (IR) Transmitters for listening to the audio signal through Wireless IR Headphones.

3. Two wireless Infrared (IR) Headphones equipped with volume control and an A/B switch to select between “M1” and “M2”.

NOTE: The wireless IR headphones must be used within a line of sight from the transmitter as infrared transmission, like visible light, travels only in an unrestricted line of sight.

4. One wireless 100 channel FM transmitter for listening to audio (from the M1 Monitor only) through the vehicle’s FM radio by tuning to one of 100 frequencies. Locate an unused FM frequency on the radio and set the FM modulator to that frequency.

NOTE: Whenever the FM transmitter is active, regular radio reception may be poor. Turn the FM transmitter o to allow normal radio reception.

5. USB Input, used to connect a USB memory device. This input will also charge a USB device that contains a battery.

6. Sources - DVD, USB, A/V-IN, M1 (or M2), HDMI or Game (optional).

7. HDMI/MHL Input, is used to connect a device with an HDML/MHL output.

NOTE: Requires an HDML/MHL enabled device and a special HDML/HML adapter. Contact your HDML/MHL device supplier for the adapter. (see page 23 for more information)

8. Remote Sensors on the front panels.

9. Two full function remote controls to operate either headrest by selecting “M1” or “M2”.

For the best disc operation, it is important that you read this section completely.

DVD Region Coding

DVD discs are coded by region. These region codes must match in order for the DVD to play. If the codes do not match, the DVD will not play. The HR8D region code is set to Region 1. Playback of a disc from any other region will not work in the HR8D.

Types of Discs the HR8D Will Play

• DVD-Video: DVD containing video.

• CD-DA: CD containing musical or sound content only.

• CD-Video: CD contains video only.

• CD-R/RW: CD contains audio les (for example, a CD-R with downloaded MP3 les), MPEG, or JPEG les.

NOTE: The following discs will NOT play in the HR8D: Optical disc- CD-1, CD-ROM, and DVD-ROM Mini disc- CDG (audio only, not graphics), Blu-ray.

Loading and Playing Discs

Before loading a disc, make sure that it is compatible with the player.

Press the POWER button to turn the system ON. Load the disc (label facing the user) into the disc slot. The disc will load automatically and begin to play.

NOTE: Some discs may start at the root menu, where play must be selected to start movie.

NOTES on Discs

• Do not touch the disc surface. Handle the disc by the edge.

• It is important that discs are clean prior to use.

• If disc is not clean, use a commercially available cleaning cloth to gently wipe the disc from the center out. (Figure 1)

NOTE: Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, cleaners, or antistatic spray intended for analog discs.

• Keep discs protected in their cases or disc magazines when not in use. Do not subject discs to heat or high temperature. Avoid leaving discs in a parked vehicle or on a dashboard or rear tray.

• Do not use discs that have aftermarket paper or plastic labels or stickers attached. The following malfunctions may result from using such discs:

• Inability to eject a disc (due to a label

or sticker peeling o and jamming the eject mechanism).

• Inability to read audio data correctly

(i.e. playback skipping, or no playback) due to heat shrinking of a sticker or label causing a disc to warp.

• Use only standard, round discs. If you insert irregular, non-round, shaped discs they may jam in the DVD player or not play properly.
