Frequently Asked Questions - AR 773 DVD TFT CLATRONIC

How do I pair my phone via Bluetooth?
Activate Bluetooth in the SEL menu (BLUETOOTH ON). Press and hold the PAIR/ button until BLUETOOTH PAIRING appears. On your phone, search for devices and select 'BC-HF-V01'. Enter password '8888'. Successful pairing shows the phone name on the display.
What should I do if the device does not turn on?
Check the ignition is set to ON or ACC. Verify the main fuse (5A/0.5A) near the battery plus pole. If fuses are intact, check the ISO connection; improper wiring may require an adapter. Press the RESET button if the processor hangs.
Why does 'NO DISC' appear?
The disc may be inserted upside down. Insert with label facing up. Also ensure the disc is clean and not damaged. If using USB, remove it to enable CD mode. Remove transport screws if they are still installed.
How do I set the time?
Press and hold the CLK button on the remote control for about 3 seconds. The hours flash; adjust with the VOL knob. Press CLK again to set minutes, then press CLK to store. If RDS data is received, time is set automatically.
Can I play DVDs while driving?
No, for safety reasons the DVD picture is only displayed when the handbrake is engaged (PARKING BRAKE message if not). The driver must not view the screen while moving. Stop in a safe place and apply the handbrake.
How do I reset the device?
Use a pointed object (e.g., a paperclip) to press the RESET button on the front panel. This restores the electronics to its original state if the processor is blocked by voltage fluctuations.
What disc types are supported?
Only standard 12 cm discs: CD, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3, DVD, and VCD. Do not use 8 cm discs or shaped discs (e.g., heart-shaped) as they may damage the player. The regional code must be 2.
How do I clean the CD?
Wipe the disc from the center outward with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use solvents like petrol or thinner, nor commercially available cleaning sprays, as they can damage the disc. Always hold the disc by the edges.
Why is there no sound during a Bluetooth call?
Ensure the volume is not too low and that the phone is properly paired. Check that Bluetooth is activated in the SEL menu. The microphone is built-in; speak towards the front of the device. Avoid excessively high volume to prevent feedback.
What does the 'AF' function do?
Alternative Frequencies (AF) automatically searches for the best reception frequency for the current FM station. When enabled (press TA/AF button or SEL menu), the radio switches to a stronger frequency if available. The AF symbol shows status: steady when receiving RDS, flashing when no RDS signal.

Road Safety

  • 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 handbrake 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 prevent road accidents you should install the device in such a way that it does not cause an obstruction when you turn the steering wheel or move the gear lever etc.
  • Similarly, safety equipment such as airbags and the driver's view of the road must not be obstructed.
  • 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!

When installing and connecting the radio please note the following safety information.

  • First disconnect the minus pole and then the plus pole of the battery. (connection in the reverse order.)
    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 .
  • When drilling holes please ensure that none of the vehicle components are damaged.

Installation Tips:

  • Cable protection sleeves protect cables against fraying on sharp body parts.
  • The insulation of the cables must not be damaged during installation.

Important Information for installing your carradio!

  1. The screws (h) of the transport locking device should be removed before installation, as otherwise the CD cannot be inserted.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

  1. 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 large number of vehicle types and manufacturers the correct configuration of the ISO plug cannot be guaranteed, even if the ISO plug connections fi t together mechanically. It may therefore be necessary to change the electricity connection or use adapters made specifically for motor vehicles.

i NOTE:

When connected correctly, the radio can be switched on and off by means of the ignition. If the stored stations are lost the radio does not receive any „Permanent +“ required for station storage.

CAUTION:

If the connection is made to „Permanent +“ without ignition the car radio may be subjected to a load even with the ignition switched off. In the worst case this may result in the car battery becoming completely discharged.

In the case of car radios with Bluetooth it is essential that the connection is made properly via the ignition. Otherwise there will be no correct separation of the radio connection between the car radio and the mobile telephone.
5. 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/DVD Player) can no longer be guaranteed.
6. 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.

  1. When installing your radio please ensure that there is enough space at the rear of the radio to ensure sufficient cooling.
  2. 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.

Important information for VW/Audi vehicles: The active antenna requires voltage on the shielding of the antenna coaxial cable, without which reception is unsatisfactory. An antenna adapter with phantom power supply will solve this problem.

Operating Instructions

  1. If the front control panel is removed while the radio or CD is on, the device is automatically switched off.
  2. Any errors (ERROR) occurring during operation can be corrected by pressing the RESET button. Use a piece of wire or similar item to press the RESET button (4) in order to return the electronics to its original state.
  3. If the interior of the vehicle becomes very hot, for example after standing in direct sunlight for a prolonged period, do not switch on the player until the inside of the vehicle has cooled down a little after you have been driving for a few minutes.
  4. In order to keep the removable control panel in a safe place you should always use the protective case provided.
  5. Playback of CDs/DVDs produced by the user cannot be guaranteed due to the large variety of software and CD/DVD media available.
  6. Some keys are to be found both on the device itself and on the remote control. Keys with the same designation have the same function.

i NOTE:

  • The display capacity is limited. It is possible that in the double display mode some segments of the display are deleted.
  • The function REG ON prevents the radio from switching to alternative frequencies which have a different regional programme content.

REG OFF: The programme identification (PI) of the regional programme is ignored during the search for an alternative frequency (AF) or a programme identification (PI).

- PI MUTE/PI SOUND (only for radio operation) If you are in an area where two programme identifi cations (PI) overlap, you can select the option PI SOUND and PI MUTE for playback of the sound. Alternate switching of the programme identifi cation should be avoided.

PI SOUND: If switching nevertheless occurs the sound of another station is heard for less than one second.

PI MUTE: The sound of another station is suppressed.

- AF (Alternative Frequencies) AF is a function that works with the help of RDS (Radio Data System) and can only be used with FM stations. The radio searches in the background for the best frequency reception of the station that has been tuned into.

AF ON: If the AF function has been switched on, the radio continuously tests the signal strength of the AF frequency. The test interval for each AF frequency depends on the signal strength of the current station and varies from a few minutes in the case of a strong signal to a few seconds in the case of weak signals. Whenever the new AF frequency is stronger than the station that is currently tuned in, the radio switches to this frequency for a short time and the message „NEW FREQUENCY“ is displayed for one to two seconds. As the mute time during the frequency change and the test time is very short, this is almost inaudible during the normal programme.

i NOTE:

The AF function can also be activated by keeping the TA/AF button (8) pressed down.

The status of the AF function is shown by an AF symbol in the display.

  • If the AF symbol appears in the display, the AF function is switched on and RDS transmission data is being received.
  • If the AF symbol flashes in the display, the AF function is selected but no RDS signal can be received at the moment.

AF OFF: The function is switched off. The AF symbol in the display goes off.

LOCAL/DX (EON) (only available during radio operation)

Your radio can receive RDS EON data. The term „EON“ signifi es the transmission of additional station information within a station chain, e.g. WDR. If a traffic c announcement (TA) is made within a station chain, the radio switches from a station which does not transmit traffic c announcements to one that does within the same station chain.

Reception of this station data is shown in the display by the EON symbol. You can choose between the LOC(AL) and DX (DISTANCE) mode for local or long-distance traffic news.

LOC(AL):

This function prevents switching to an EON station whose signal is too weak. The radio does not switch to this station and the listener does not hear any interference.

DX (DISTANCE) Mode:

In this mode the EONTA circuitry tries to receive the EONTA information from any available transmitter and thus improve reception quality.

DVD Operation:

Press the button several times if you would like to activate or deactivate the subtitle function or if you want to choose a different subtitle language. The available subtitle languages depend on the DVD.

Telephoning via Bluetooth

Bluetooth technology is a wireless radio connection between devices over a short distance. Currently Bluetooth technology is mainly used for the hands-free operation of mobile telephones. This enables the driver to conduct a conversation via his or her mobile telephone while driving without having to hold the telephone to his or her ear.

This device provides you with the opportunity to use a Bluetooth-capable mobile telephone. The working radius is restricted to approximately 3 metres.

For Optimum Sound Quality during a Telephone Call

Do not set the volume too high. Otherwise there may be feedback (a whistling noise) from the loudspeakers.

i NOTE:

The setting of the volume depends on the installation positions of the loudspeakers relative to the microphone and cannot therefore be specified in detail.

Registering Devices

Before you can telephone via the car radio the devices have to be registered with one another.

  1. Unless you have already done so, activate the Bluetooth function in the SEL menu (BLUETOOTH ON).
  2. Hold the PAIR/ Button (20) down (the "symbol fl ashes and BLUETOOTH PAIRING appears in the display).

About the DVD-Player

With this DVD-Player you can play a vast variety of DVD-formats "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.

General Settings

TV Display
-- General Setup Page -- TV Display Angle Mark OSD Lang SPCIF Output Captions Screen Saver Last Memory Normal/PS Normal/LE Wide

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 fi lms 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:

  • Norm/PS: You will only see the middle section of the film. The borders will be cut off („Pan-Scan“).
  • Norm/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").
  • Wide: Select this option if you use a wide screen TV for replay. Please note that fi lms, that have been recorded with TV-aspect 4:3 can still be replayed using aspect 4:3. This means, that replaying this fi lm will not require the complete wide screen area of the television.

i NOTE:

The setting „Norm/PS“ is not supported by all DVDs.

Digital setup

Dynamic Range

Subtitle language

ENGLISH

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).

TV Type

Here you can select the preferred language for the subtitles accompanying the film.

Here you can select the preferred language for the DVD menus.

• PAL: A system commonly used in Europe.
- AUTO: Select this setting if your replay device is a multi-system unit.
• NTSC: A system primarily used in North America.

Audio language

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.

The following child protection options are available:

  • Kid Saf: 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.
  • Adults: The film must only be watched by adults.
  • Off: The child lock is deactivated.

Here you can select the preferred language for the audio output.

Password
