Notes on MP3/WMA Play

MP3 and WMA (Windows Media Audio) music files are digital audio files that are compressed to allow more files to be stored. This unit can play MP3/WMA and video directly from files contained on a CD-R/RW, DVD+RW, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD-R and DVD-VIDEO, or an SD card or USB Device using the buttons on the receiver (or remote control) as described below.

Many types of software are available for converting audio files into MP3/WMA formats. Jensen recommends Nero or Roxio Easy CD Creator.

This unit can play MP3 (MPEG1, 2, 2.5 Audio Layer 3). However, the MP3 recording media and accepted formats are limited. When writing MP3/WMA, pay attention to the following restrictions.

MP3 Playing Order

When selected for play, files and folders (Folder Search, File Search or Folder Select) are accessed in the order in which they were written to the media. As a result, the order in which they are expected to be played may not match the order in which they are actually played. You may be able to set the order in which MP3/WMA files are to be played by assigning file names beginning with play sequence numbers such as "01" to "99". For example, a medium with the following folder/file hierarchy is subject to Folder Search, File Search or Folder Select as shown below.

graph TD
    A["Level 1"] --> B["2"]
    B --> C["3"]
    C --> D["4"]
    D --> E["5"]
    E --> F["6"]
    F --> G["7"]
    G --> H["8"]
    style A fill:#fff,stroke:#000
    style B fill:#fff,stroke:#000
    style C fill:#fff,stroke:#000
    style D fill:#fff,stroke:#000
    style E fill:#fff,stroke:#000
    style F fill:#fff,stroke:#000
    style G fill:#fff,stroke:#000
    style H fill:#fff,stroke:#000
    note right of A
        Folder
        File
        Root
    end

The VM8514 player will only recognize three folder levels and does not display folders containing only other folders. In the example above, the unit will display folders 3, 4, 6, and 8, but not 2 and 7 since they do not contain any tracks directly. Folder 5 is not recognized at all since it is at the fourth level.

About Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless radio connectivity technology that is developed as a cable replacement for mobile phones, handheld PCs and other devices. Bluetooth operates in 2.4 GHz frequency range and transmits voice and data at speeds up to 1 megabit per second. Bluetooth was launched by a special interest group (SIG) comprised of Ericsson Inc., Intel Corp., Nokia Corp., Toshiba and IBM in 1998, and it is currently developed by nearly 2,000 companies worldwide. The Bluetooth word mark and logos are owned by the Bluetooth SIG, Inc. and any use of such marks by Audiovox Corporation is under license. Other trademarks and trade names are those of their respective owners.

NOTE: The line-of-sight distance between this unit and your cellular phone must be 8 meters or less for sending and receiving voice and data via Bluetooth wireless technology. However, the transmission distance may become shorter than the estimated distance, depending on the environment in use.

Before attempting to use the Bluetooth functions on the VM8514, you must purchase and install the BTM15. When connected properly, the blue light on the BTM15 appears illuminated. Bluetooth features are only available when the BTM15 is installed.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

DVD Player

The following guidelines will help you extend the life of your DVD player:

1. When cleaning the vehicle interior, do not get water or cleaning fluids on the unit.
2. The DVD player will not operate properly in extreme hot/cold or under damp conditions. In case of such conditions, wait until the vehicle interior reaches a normal temperature or any condensation on the disc player lens has evaporated before using the player.
3. Always remove the disc when the player is not in use.
4. The unit is designed with a vibration dampening disc mechanism to minimize interruption of disc play due to normal vibration in a moving vehicle. However, occasional sound skips may occur when driving on very rough roads. This will not scratch or damage the disc, and normal play will resume when the rough conditions cease.

CD-R and CD-RW Capability

Depending on media type and method of "recording/burning", some CD-R/RWs may be incompatible with this unit. After "recording/burning", the session must be closed. Please refer to your software's recommended procedures for closing a disc/session. Review your recording software to familiarize yourself with the correct "recording/burning" procedures. We recommend using the latest versions of ROXIO™ or NERO™ burning software.

In addition, this unit will only recognize the CDDA (Compact Disc Digital Audio), .MP3 and .WMA formats "recorded / burned" onto a CD-R/RW. This unit does not support .WAV, .OGG or other formats.

Disc Care and Handling

Dirt, dust, scratches and warpage can cause skips in the playback and deterioration of sound quality. Please follow these guidelines to take care of your compact discs.

1. Do not touch the disc surface.
2. Never use chemicals such as record sprays or household cleaners to clean discs, as they can irreparably damage the disc's surface.

3. Discs should be kept in their storage cases when not in use.

4. Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperatures or high humidity for long periods.

5. Carefully wipe fingerprints, dust and dirt from the disc's playing surface with a soft cloth. Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to the outside of the disc.
6. Do not stick paper, tape or disc labels on disc surfaces, as internal damage may occur.

Tools and Supplies

You will need these tools and supplies to install your VM8514:

• Torx type, flat-head and Philips screwdrivers
• Wire cutters and strippers
• Tools to remove existing radio (screwdriver, socket wrench set or other tools)
- Electrical tape
- Crimping tool
• Volt meter/test light
• Crimp connections
• 18 gauge wire for power connections
• 16 – 18 gauge speaker wire

WARNING! Never install this unit where operation and viewing could interfere with safe driving conditions.

Speaker Requirements

Only connect speakers rated with a load impedance of 4 ohms. Speakers with a load impedance of less than 4 ohms could damage the unit.

Preparation

This unit is designed for installation in cars, trucks and vans with an existing radio opening. In many cases, a special installation kit will be required to mount the radio to the dashboard. These kits are available at electronics supply stores and car stereo specialty shops. Always check the kit application before purchasing to make sure the kit works with your vehicle. If you need a kit but cannot locate one, call our customer support line at 1-800-323-4815. (U.S.A. and Canada only.)

1 To prevent a short circuit, be sure to turn off the ignition and remove the negative (-) battery cable prior to installation.

NOTE: If this unit is to be installed in a car equipped with an on-board drive or navigation computer, do not disconnect the battery cable. If the cable is disconnected, the computer memory may be lost. Under these conditions, use extra caution during installation to avoid causing a short circuit.

2 Remove transport screws.

ISO-DIN Installation

This unit has threaded holes in the chassis side panels which may be used with the original factory mounting brackets of some vehicles to mount the radio to the dashboard. Please consult with your local car stereo shop for assistance on this type of installation.

1 Remove the existing factory radio from the dashboard or center console mounting. Save all hardware and brackets as they will be used to mount the new radio.
2 Remove the mounting sleeve as explained in Step 2 of "Mounting Sleeve Installation" on page 3.
3 Remove the factory mounting brackets and hardware from the existing radio and attach them to the new radio.

CAUTION: Do not exceed M5 X 9MM screw size. Longer screws may damage components inside the chassis.

4 Wire the new radio to the vehicle as outlined in the Mounting Sleeve Installation instructions.
5 Mount the new radio assembly to the dashboard or center console using the reverse procedure in step 1.

CAUTION! Be careful not to damage the car wiring.

Mounting Sleeve Installation

1 Push the RELEASE button and remove the detachable front panel from the chassis.
2 Remove the mounting sleeve.

a. Insert the removal keys straight back until they lock. If removal keys are inserted at an angle, they will not lock properly to release the unit.
b. Slide the mounting sleeve off the chassis.

1. Install the mounting sleeve in the dashboard.

a. Check the dashboard opening size by sliding the mounting sleeve into it. If the opening is not large enough, carefully cut or file as necessary until the sleeve easily slides into the opening. Do not force the sleeve into the opening or cause it to bend or bow.
b. Locate the series of bend tabs along the top, bottom and sides of the mounting sleeve. With the sleeve fully inserted into the dashboard opening, bend as many of the tabs outward as necessary to firmly secure the sleeve to the dashboard.

4 Place the radio in front of the dashboard opening so the wiring can be brought through the mounting sleeve.
5 Follow the wiring diagram carefully and make certain all connections are secure and insulated with crimp connectors or electrical tape to ensure proper operation.

WARNING! Only connect the unit to a 12-volt power supply with proper grounding.

6 After completing the wiring connections, attach the front panel and turn the unit on to confirm operation (vehicle ignition switch must be on). If the unit does not operate, re-check all wiring until the problem is corrected. Once proper

operation is achieved, turn the ignition switch off and proceed with final mounting of the chassis.

7 Carefully slide the radio into the half-sleeve, making sure it is right-side-up until it is fully seated and the spring clips lock it into place.
3 Secure the rear of the unit to the car body using the mounting bolt and rubber cushion.
9 Attach the decorative trim ring.
10 Re-attach the front panel to the chassis and test radio operation by referring to the operating instructions for the unit.

NOTE: For proper operation of the CD/MP3 player, the chassis must be mounted within 20° of horizontal. Make sure the unit is mounted within this limitation.

Wiring Diagram

IMPORTANT: Incorrect wiring connections can damage the unit. Follow the wiring instructions carefully, or have the installation handled by an experienced technician.

When wiring is complete, reconnect the battery negative terminal.
