SECTION I – GENERAL INFORMATION
1.0 Introduction
This manual contains information for the proper installation and operation of
Audio International’s (AI) Digital Video Disc Player,
Model # DVD-201-01(-02, -03)-x. The “-x” suffix in the model number designates
the type of connector utilized; “-1” = Positronic and “-2” = D-Subminiature. Also
included are mechanical and electrical characteristics of the unit.
2.0 Purpose of the Equipment
2.1
Audio International’s DVD-201-01(-02, -03)-x is a high-quality video disc
player specifically designed to meet the special requirements of aircraft
use. This video disc player represents a digital medium with the capacity
to incorporate an entire feature film – up to 133 minutes of full-motion
video on a 5" Multi-Regional DVD compact disc. In addition, the DVD unit
plays standard 5" Multi-Regional audio CDs.
2.2
The DVD-201-01(-02, -03)-x can be mounted in a cabinet or bulkhead. A
unique strapping feature allows up to eight (8) similar devices to be used
in the same system at the same time while maintaining independent
control.
2.3
Optionally, audio output may be carried directly via a digital fiber optic line
to an audio processor (such as AI’s ASP-101-0x). For DVD discs
equipped with a Dolby Digital™ (AC-3) soundtrack, this allows decoding of
six discrete audio channels – front L/R, center channel, rear L/R, and
subwoofer – for a theater-like sound experience.
2.4 The DVD-201-02-x and DVD-201-03-2 operate exactly as does the
DVD-201-01-x except for the following modifications. The DVD-201-02-x
has +28 VDC keyline output on pin 15 when the device is playing. Pin 15
toggles to ground when device is not playing. The DVD-201-03-2 has tray
standoffs that allow it to be mounted from 0° to up to a 10° angle.
