Here's a list of some things you can do with your system: · · · Play DVD movies, music CDs, or discs with MP3 audio files. 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. 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. An overhead, wide-screen, flat-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). PRECAUTIONS In order to operate the system, the vehicle ignition key switch must be in the ACC or engine ON position. ON ACC ACC or engi ON position OFF · Use this system only if properly installed by a qualified 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 available 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 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 flash. Note: The system's operating voltage range is 10-16VDC operating voltage. The system operating temperature is 32o 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. · · Your system includes the following components: · · · · · · 8 Rosen Entertainment Systems 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: 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. Also, the unit can play most CD-Recordable discs containing CD-Audio, MP3 files, and JPEG images - but not all such discs. Since these discs are usually made on home computers, there is no certification process ensuring that all such discs play on all players. · · Why the system doesn't respond the same way to all discs When a DVD disc is created, the creator has to define 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 a DVD feature isn't working for you, usually the disc is preventing the player from performing that function temporarily. 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, Pacific Islands, Mexico, Central/ South America. Region 5: Russia and the former Soviet Union, Africa, Indian subcontinent, North Korea Region 6: China Region 8: Special International Venues (Cruise Ships, Airlines, etc.) 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).
