Frequently Asked Questions - BV9973 BOSS

Why is the disc not loading or ejecting?

Ensure the disc is inserted with the label side facing up. If a disc is already inside, eject it first. Check if the disc is dirty or defective; clean with a dry soft cloth or try another disc. If the problem persists, press the RESET button with a thin object.

No video or image appears on the screen.

This is often due to the parking brake not being engaged. The unit displays "ParkingBrake" if the wire is connected but brake is off. For safety, video is disabled while driving. Ensure the parking brake wire (light green) is properly connected to the vehicle's parking brake system. Also check that the color system (NTSC/PAL) matches your monitor.

How do I set up the radio stations?

First, select the desired band (FM1/2/3, AM1/2) by pressing the BAND button. To store a station, tune to it manually or automatically, then press and hold one of the preset buttons (1-6) for more than 2 seconds. For automatic storage, press and hold the lock icon on screen for 2 seconds; the six strongest stations will be stored automatically.

What is the RDS function and how do I use it?

RDS (Radio Data System) provides additional information from FM stations. Key functions include AF (Alternative Frequencies) to automatically switch to the best frequency, TA (Traffic Announcements) to prioritize traffic updates, and PTY (Program Type) to search by genre (e.g., NEWS, POP). Access these via the Setup menu or dedicated buttons on the remote.

The remote control is not working.

First, remove the plastic tab from the battery compartment if it's a new unit. Ensure the lithium cell (CR2025) is installed with the + side up. Point the remote at the front panel IR receiver within about ±30 degrees. If still not working, replace the battery or reset the unit.

Can I play discs from any region?

This player is region-coded. If the disc's region code does not match the unit's code, it will display "REGION ERROR". The region code is set at the factory (usually Region 1 for USA). To play discs from other regions, you may need a region-free player or modification. Check the disc's region code before purchase.

How do I use the rear view camera?

Connect the camera's video cable to the REAR CAMERA INPUT (yellow RCA) on the back of the unit and the power lead to the reverse light. When you shift to reverse, the monitor automatically displays the camera image. Note: The parking brake must be engaged for this feature to work (or bypassed). For safety, the image is only shown when reversing.

What should I do if the screen is not responding to touch?

Perform a screen calibration from the Setup menu: go to Settings > Calibration and touch the arrow on the screen. If that doesn't help, press the RESET button on the front panel (use a pointed object). Avoid pressing hard on the screen.

How do I set the parental control?

Go to the Setup menu and select Disc Setup > Rating. Enter the default password 0000 (or your custom password). Choose a rating level from Kid Safe to Adult. If a disc has a higher rating than set, you will be prompted for the password to unlock it.

Why is the sound distorted or no sound from speakers?

Check if MUTE is active (press the MUTE button on the unit or remote). Also verify speaker connections (white/gray, green/purple wires). Go to Audio Setup to adjust Bass, Treble, Balance, and Fader. If using an external amplifier, ensure the subwoofer output is properly configured.
