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, to the operator of the
motor vehicle.

Important Note

This DVD player incorporates two new features:

1)

A wireless FM Modulator

2)

Capability to add an optional plug in TV tuner (Audiovox P/N
PODTVT – must be ordered separately)

Please be advised that the wireless modulator will perform well in
most applications.   However, in certain applications the quality of
the wireless signal may be less than optimal, resulting in static or
strong local station bleed thru.  If this is the case, an optional relay
box is available.   The Audiovox part number is SIRSWB and plugs
into the 1/8" jack on the side of the chassis.  This relay box is
installed between the vehicle antenna and the car radio to provide
the best possible FM reception of the DVD player audio.  When the
SIRSWB is installed it is recommended that the wireless FM an-
tenna that is plugged into the printed circuit board next to the
3.5mm jack be unplugged.  See page 6 of this manual for addi-
tional information.
