Quick start – Six steps to motion picture success
Okay, you’ve been waiting long enough, let’s see the show! This section will get
you enjoying in flight entertainment in a jiffy.
Although the PAV80 is designed for in-flight entertainment, we recommend that
you familiarize yourself with it on the ground first.
1. Turn on battery and avionics master.
2. If it isn’t on already, turn on the audio panel (or intercom).
a.
Get comfortable in the headset
b. Turn on the PAV80. It doesn’t come on by itself; we designed it to be off,
until you want it on. Turn the unit on by pressing the volume knob (1).
c. Also turn the display on by pressing the power button.
d. Put the DVD into the slot, and push gently until the player takes over. The
display will show “Loading”.
e. After the video shows the copyright restrictions, the Play/Pause will blink.
f.
When the Play/Pause (
►)
light begins to blink, push it.
g.
Usually a DVD will present you with a menu screen, where you can select
all it special features you want. For a quick movie:
Push the Play/Pause button again, and the movie will play from beginning to end

Video Source Select
The PVT801 is capable of displaying video format in NTSC (USA) or PAL
(International) standards. HINT! If your display is behaving strangely, check the
video mode. We have some experience in this regard.
In addition, the display has two inputs, AV1 and AV2. The AV2 input is not
mechanized in the PS Engineering system, so you will not get a picture is the
display is inadvertently put in this mode. More experience here.
Radio Operation
Select the AM or FM as above. The display will change to the FM frequency
(XX.X), or AM (XXX). The right knob will then increase or decrease the radio
frequency.
The other quick way to change the radio channel is to push the up or down but-
tons to scan for the next available station.
Receiver Threshold Adjustment
The amount of signal required to stop the frequency scan on a forequency can be
adjusted to suit your needs. When the crew is in FM or AM mode, press and hold
the MODE knob for 3 seconds to enter the sensitivity adjustment. The LED dis-
play will show "SENSE xx" where xx is a level from 1-10 (1 is lowest threshold
or weakest signal, 10 is more powerful station). This display will revert to the
MODE display after 5 seconds with no adjustment. There are two different sensi-
tivity levels (FM and AM) and once adjusted, they will be stored in non-volatile
memory.
Radio Reception
Because of the high-speed data requirements of the DVD mechanism, the radio
frequency reception using the internal antenna is limited. Therefore, when used
for AM or FM reception, the operator may only receive the most powerful 3 to 5
stations. In contrast to an ADF, where audio fidelity is not important, the PAV80
requires higher signal levels to ensure fidelity.
For optimum performance, some installers may desire an external AM/FM an-
tenna. PS Engineering recommends a Comant CI-222-series.
