❐ Final Installation
Lead Connections
Connect all wires, making sure that each
connection is insulated and secure. Bundle all loose
wires and fasten them with tape so they won’t fall
down later.
Congratulations! After making a few final checks,
you’re ready to enjoy your mobile DVD player.
❐ Final Checks
1. Make sure that all wires are properly connected
and insulated.
2. Turn on the ignition to check the unit for proper
operation.
If you have difficulties, consult your nearest
authorized professional installer for assistance.
❐ Preparation
≥ Disconnect the cable from the negative -
battery terminal (see caution below).
≥ Unit should be installed in a horizontal
position with the front end up at a convenient
angle, but not more than 30o.
Caution:
≥ Do not disconnect the battery terminals of a
car with a trip or navigational computer
since all user settings stored in memory will
be lost. Instead take extra care with
installing the unit to prevent shorts.
≥ We strongly recommend that you wear
gloves for installation work to protect
yourself from injuries.
❐ Identify All Leads
The first step in installation is to identify all the car
wires you’ll use when hooking up your sound
system.
As you identify each wire, we suggest that you label
it using masking tape and a permanent marker.
This will help avoid confusion when making
connections later.
Note:
≥ Do not connect the power connector to the unit
until you have made all connections. If there are
no plastic caps on the stereo hooking wires,
insulate all exposed leads with electrical tape
until you are ready to use them. Identify the leads
in the following order.
Power Lead
If your car has a radio or is pre-wired for one:
Cut the connector wires one at a time from the plug
(leaving the leads as long as possible) so that you
can work with individual leads.
Turn the ignition on to the accessory position, and
ground one lead of the test bulb to the chassis.
Touch the other lead of the test bulb to each of the
exposed wires from the cut radio connector plug.
Touch one wire at a time until you find the outlet
that causes the test bulb to light.
Now turn the ignition off and then on. If the bulb
also turns off and on, that outlet is the car power
lead.
If your car is not wired for an audio unit:
Go to the fuse block and find the fuse port for radio
(RADIO), accessory (ACC), or ignition (IGN).
Battery Lead
If your DVD player has a yellow lead, you will need
to locate the car’s battery lead. Otherwise you may
ignore this procedure. (The yellow battery lead
provides continuous power to maintain a clock,
memory storage, or other function.)
If your car has a radio or is pre-wired for one:
With the ignition and headlights off, identify the car
battery lead by grounding one lead of the test bulb
to the chassis and checking the remaining exposed
wires from the cut radio connector plug.
If your car is not wired for an audio unit:
Go to the fuse block and find the fuse port for the
battery which is usually marked BAT.
❐ Connect All Leads
Now that you have identified all the wires in the car,
you’re ready to begin connecting them to the DVD
player wires. The electrical connections (
➡ pages
40–44) show the proper wiring and color coding of
the leads.
We strongly recommend that you test the unit
before making a final installation.
You can set the unit on the floor and make
temporary connections to test the unit. Use
electrical tape to cover all exposed wires.
Ground
Connect the black ground lead of the power
connector to the metal car chassis.
Battery
Connect the yellow battery lead to the correct radio
wire or to the battery fuse port on the fuse block.
Power
Connect the red power lead to the correct power
cord according to your system configuration by
referring to the wiring diagram .
If the unit functions properly with all these
connections made, disconnect the wires and
proceed to the final installation.
Important:
≥ Connect the red power lead last, after you
have made and insulated all other
connections.
