Instruction Manual
Thank you for choosing our product. We hope you enjoy using our product.
Safety Information
Read the operating instructions carefully before putting the appliance into operation and keep the instructions including the warranty, the receipt and, if possible, the box with the internal packing.
• Use the device only for the intended purpose.
- The device should be installed in such a way that existing ventilation holes are not covered.
- Never open the housing of the device. Incorrect repairs can constitute a considerable risk for the user. If the device is damaged it should not be used, but repaired by a specialist.
These symbols may be found on the machine and are intended to indicate the following:
The symbol with an exclamation mark should advise the user of important operation or maintenance instructions in the accompanying documentation.
Devices bearing this symbol work with a "class 1 laser" for tracing the CD/DVD. The built-in safety switches should prevent the user being exposed to dangerous laser light, which is invisible to the human eye, when the CD compartment is opened.
Under no circumstances should these safety switches be bypassed or manipulated, as this could result in a danger of exposure to the laser light.
Symbols in these Instructions for Use
Important information for your safety is specially marked. It is essential to comply with these instructions in order to avoid accidents and prevent damage to the machine:
WARNING:
This warns you of dangers to your health and indicates possible injury risks.
CAUTION:
This refers to possible hazards to the machine or other objects.
NOTE: This highlights tips and information.
Children and Frail Individuals
- In order to ensure your children's safety, please keep all packaging (plastic bags, boxes, polystyrene etc.) out of their reach.
WARNING!
Caution! Do not allow small children to play with the foil as there is a danger of suffocation!
Road Safety
WARNING:
- Road safety is of paramount importance. You should therefore use your car radio at all times in such a way that you are able to cope with the current traffic situation.
- Please remember that at a speed of 30 mph (50 kph) you travel 15 yards (14 metres) in one second.
- We advise you not to operate the radio in critical situations.
- It must be possible to hear the sirens of police and fire brigade vehicles etc. from inside the vehicle in good time.
- When driving you should therefore not turn the radio volume up excessively.
- For safety reasons a lock connected to the hand-brake of the vehicle prevents certain functions of the device from operating when the vehicle is moving. In order to be able to use these functions please stop in a safe place and put on the handbrake.
- Please note that it is not permitted to operate the DVD player when the vehicle is moving or if the engine is running!
- In order to avoid serious road accidents, the device should be installed in such a way that you are not hindered when operating the steering wheel, gear lever etc.
- Similarly, safety aspects such as airbags and your clear view of the road must not be obstructed either
- Under no circumstances should any additional monitor that is connected be installed in such a way that it can be seen by the driver when the vehicle is moving!
Safety Information when installing and connecting the radio
- First disconnect the minus pole and then the plus pole of the battery. (connection in the reverse order.)
NOTE:
Please note: Once the battery has been disconnected the information is lost from all volatile memory. Please note the safety information provided by the vehicle manufacturer.
- The main fuse must be installed as closely as possible (not more than 30 cm away) to the plus pole of the battery so that the car is protected from any cable fire caused, for example, by an accident. If the above is not complied with the insurance protection no longer applies.
- The cross-section of the plus and minus cable must not exceed 1.5 mm ^2 .
Installation Tips:
- Cable protection sleeves protect cables against fraying on sharp body parts.
- The insulation of the cables must not be damaged during installation.
- It is essential to use the correct tools when installing car hi-fi.
Depending on the model, your vehicle may deviate from the above description. We do not accept any liability for damage caused by installation or connection errors or for consequential damage.
Important Information for installing your carradio!
- The screws (h) of the transport locking device should be removed before installation, as otherwise the CD cannot be inserted.
- The device is designed for the minus pole of the battery, which must be connected to the body of the vehicle. Please check this before installation.
-
When installing/connecting your device please note that not every vehicle is equipped with an "ISO connection". In this case we recommend the use of an ISO adapter specifically designed for your vehicle.
Adapters are available from car accessory shops and/or from your vehicle workshop. -
Depending on the specific car type, different wiring connection of the "Duration +" wire (Constant current connection) are available. (However, this is necessary for storing the radio stations.)
In order to guarantee all functions, installation in line with these instructions is essential. In cases of doubt please contact an authorised car workshop.
Due to the various types of motor vehicles and motor manufacturers, it is not possible to guarantee that the pin assignment of the ISO plug is correct, even if the ISO plug connections fit together mechanically. It may therefore be necessary to modify the electrical connection or use vehicle-specific adapters.
i NOTE:
If the device is correctly connected, the radio can be switched on and off via the ignition. If the stored stations are lost, this indicates that the radio is not receiving any "continuous +", current which is required for storing the ations.
CAUTION:
Where there is a connection to "continuous +" without the ignition being switched on, the car battery might be drained of power even if the radio is switched off. This may even result in the battery becoming completely flat.
- The angle of inclination when a car radio is installed must not exceed 20^ , as in the case of greater angles of inclination the function of the car radio (CD Player) can no longer be guaranteed.
- Depending on the specific car type, interferences can be possibly arise during radio/CD/DVD operation. These interferences can avoid easily with an additional Interferences filter. Your car radio is originally prepared with an Interference Filter already. In these case, please contact your authorized car dealer.
- When installing your radio please ensure that there is enough space at the rear of the radio to ensure sufficient cooling.
- For the antenna connection there are two different norms. The first of these is the old (50 ohm) version with a long protruding round contact on the vehicle and a round socket on the radio end. The second is the ISO-standardised antenna plug (150 ohm). Adapters for both formats are available from accessory manufacturers and/or your car workshop.
i NOTE:
Important information for VW/Audi vehicles: The antenna in your vehicle may be an active antenna. This requires a power supply which is only provided by the original car radio. If this is the case, use an antenna adapter for phantom power supply. Antenna adapters can be found in car accessory outlets and/or at your car repair shop.

About the DVD-Player
With this DVD-Player you can play a vast variety of DVDFormats → "Technical data".
However, you must be aware that in many cases DVDs are encrypted with a so-called "Regional Code". This specifies for which region in the world the DVD is intended. As an example, the DVDs marked with regional code "1" are intended for the USA and Canada. DVDs with regional code "2" are for use in Europe.
i NOTE:
With your DVD-Player you can only play DVDs with regional code "2". There are both lots of burning and compressing methods as well as high quality differences in (burned) CDs/DVDs. Moreover, the music industry has not yet agreed on a fixed standard for copy protection. This may, in very isolated cases, result in problems when relaying CDs, DVDs and MP3 CDs. This is no malfunction of the player.
Furthermore, there may be isolated problems when playing CDs or DVDs which were created on a PC (e.g. holiday photographs). In case of problems check the settings of the DVD writing program on your computer. You should in particular make sure that the DVD has been finalized. For further information on this matter please refer to the operating manual of your recorder.
Terminology
- Track: "Track" means the sections of an Audio CD. This may be, for example, a song, the suite of a symphony etc.
- Title/Chapter: Video DVDs are subdivided into "Title" and "Chapter". A "Title" may be e.g. a specific film, the "Chapter" however may be subsections of this film.
- MPEG4: Also suitable for playing back files which are MPEG-4 (short for Moving Picture Experts Group-4) compressed. MPEG-4 is a compression method through which a large amount of data can be reduced without a noticeable loss of picture and sound quality.
i NOTE:
Full compatibility with globally available compression methods cannot be guaranteed, in particular if there are several sound tracks or subtitles in play. Even MPEG 4 Files with integrated special functions such as menu, subtitles etc. are not always supported. This is not a malfunction of the device.
Input Not Possible
If a function or input which you have selected is not valid, the adjacent symbol is shown on the screen.

Understanding the menu structure
The Setup menu has two menu levels:
- Main menu: The main level is represented by graphical symbols.
- Sub-menu: The corresponding sub-menu options can be found under each of the main menu options.
Using the menu

Overview of the main menu
- General Settings (1)
• Language settings (2)
• Video settings (3)
• Speaker settings (4)
• Digital settings (5)
i NOTE:
Some of the menu settings can only be selected in stop mode (depending on the DVD).
General Settings
TV-System
Match the output of the DVD-Player to the colour transfer system of your replay device. The following options are available:
• PAL: A system commonly used in Europe.
- AUTO: Select this setting if your replay device is a multisystem unit.
• NTSC: A system primarily used in North America.
i NOTE:
By pressing the BND/SYS (Fig. 1/23) you can also switch between the options.
Auto Play
If the function is activated the DVD Menu is skipped and the playback of the main movie begins automatically.
TV Type
Here you can adapt the output of the DVD-Player to the TV aspect.
Concerning the background: If you do not have a wide screen TV the TV-aspect will be 4:3. However, most feature films have an aspect of 16:9, the image is therefore too wide for the TV screen.
Here you can specify how the replay of the film is to be adapted to the replay device:
- 4:3/PS: You will only see the middle section of the film. The borders will be cut off ("Pan-Scan").
- 4:3/LB: You will see the complete width of the film. The film is thus reduced in size, whereby black bars appear below and above the film ("Letter-Box").
- 16:9: Select this option if you use a wide screen TV for replay. Please note that films, that have been recorded with TV-aspect 4:3 can still be replayed using aspect 4:3. This means, that replaying this film will not require the complete wide screen area of the television.
i NOTE:
The setting "4:3/PS" is not supported by all DVDs.
Password
If you want to operate the DVD-Player with a child protection system, you must first enter a password. This password safeguards the settings for the child protection system, so that it can only be changed by yourself.
In order to change the password, you must first enter the current password. The master password is "0000".
i NOTE:
If you forgot your password, you can deactivate the child protection system with this password.
Proceed as follows to change the password:
- Enter the present password in the "Password", line with the numerical buttons (Fig. 1/11) of the remote control. To prevent the password from being read by unauthorized persons only the characters "XXXX" will appear on the screen. Confirm your entry with the ENTER button (Fig. 1/22).
- Now enter your new password in the row "Password". Confirm your entry with the ENTER button (Fig. 1/22).
Rating (Child protection)
Some DVD contain information concerning the target group. This method is comparable with the rating of cinema films ("Suitable only for persons of 12 years and over" e.g.).
If you have the child protection option activated a probably existing corresponding information is read from the DVD and compared with the value pre-set by you. If a DVD is intended for an older age group than the one pre-set by you, the DVD cannot be played. You can select the following options for child protection after unlocking the password protection:
• Kid Safe: Suitable for children.
• G: Suitable for all age groups.
- PG: The presence of parents is recommended. Some scenes may be unsuitable for children.
- PG 13: The presence of parents is strictly recommended. Some scenes may be unsuitable for children under the age of 13.
• PGR: The presence of parents is strictly necessary.
• R: Young persons under the age of 17 may only view this film in the presence of an adult.
- NC17: Children and juveniles under the age of 17 are not allowed to watch this film.
• Adult: The film must only be watched by adults.
Factory setting
Select the command "Default/Restore" if you want to re-set the player to the factory implemented default settings. Any settings you have made will be lost.
Language Settings
You can make various language settings here:
- OSD language: Here you can select the language of the onscreen displays.
• Audio language: Here you can select the preferred language for the audio output. - Subtitle language: Here you can select the preferred language for the subtitles accompanying the film.
- Menu language: Here you can select the preferred language for the DVD menus.
Video Settings
You can make various settings to adjust the video signal.
- Brightness
- Contrast
- Hue (NTSC only)
- Saturation
- Sharpness
Speaker setup
Downmix
Change the characteristics of the speaker output:
- LT/RT: Choose this setting if you want to play the DVD with the Pro Logic Dolby stereo effect. This produces a almost real 2-channel replay effect.
- Stereo: Choose this setting if you want to play a DVD, that has been produced in the 5.1-Audio format, as 2-channel stereo sound.
• VSS: Use this setting to simulate surround playback.
Digital setup
Dynamic Range
The term "Dynamic Range" describes the ratio of quietest and loudest sound. If the dynamic range is very large, you will experience very quiet and very loud sounds.
This may cause replay problems. Let us assume that you are watching a DVD in a relatively loud environment. You can now increase the volume to be able to hear also the very quiet passages, however with the disadvantage that loud passages will be unacceptably loud. In this case it would make sense to compress the dynamic range (i.e. reduce) and increase the output volume at the same time.
- FULL -2/8: The dynamic range is compressed slightly (2/8) to full (FULL).
- OFF: The dynamic range is not compressed at all (default).
Dual Mono
The Audio output is normally in stereo. Here you have the possibility to choose Mono-output instead of Stereo-output.
• Stereo: The Audio output is in Stereo (default).
- Mono L: The Audio output is in Mono. In this case the signal of the "left" stereo channel is transmitted to all speakers.
- Mono R: The Audio output is in Mono. In this case the signal of the "right" stereo channel is transmitted to all speakers.
- Mix Mono: The Audio output is in Mono. In this case the signal of the "both" stereo channel is transmitted to all speakers.
