86-6-18 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The console unit has three buttons which allow for minimum operation of the unit without using the handset:
l
The Stop/Eject button stops playback when pressed – 'Stop' appears on the LCD monitor as confirmation.
When the playback is stopped, a further press of the Stop/Eject button ejects the DVD or CD from the DVD
console – 'Eject' appears on the LCD monitor as confirmation.
l
The Play/Pause button begins play of the DVD or CD when pressed – 'Play' appears on the LCD monitor as
confirmation.
During play, pressing the Play/Pause button temporarily pauses the play – 'Pause' appears on the LCD monitor
as confirmation. A second press of the Play/Pause button resumes the play.
l
The Speaker button switches the DVD or CD audio to play through the vehicle audio speakers system. When the
CD is selected on the ICE head unit in the fascia, pressing the button allows the DVD or CD audio to play through
the vehicle audio speakers – 'Speaker On' appears on the LCD monitor. A second press of the button prevents
the DVD or CD audio playing through the vehicle audio speakers – 'Speaker Off' appears on the LCD monitor.
NOTE: These functions are also available from buttons on the remote handset.
Two sockets are provided on the left hand side of the unit and one socket on the right hand side of the unit for the use
of headphones with the overhead console unit. This allows the three occupants of the 2nd row seats to listen to the
DVD output using headphones. Occupants of the 3rd row seats can also listen to the DVD output using headphones
connected into the two radio/headphone amplifier units.
The console has three Phono sockets which allow for the use of an auxiliary video unit or video games console to be
connected to the system and use the LCD monitor for display. The sockets are colour coded for correct auxiliary input
connection as follows:
l
RED – Right channel audio input
l
WHITE – Left channel audio input
l
YELLOW – Video input.
A slot is provided on the right hand side of the console for insertion of a DVD or CD into the console unit. The DVD
or CD can be inserted into the slot with the label side facing upwards. The DVD or CD is ejected from the slot when
the Stop/Eject button is pressed.
When the LCD monitor is in the lowered position, an infra-red receiver is exposed and receives transmitted signals
from the remote control handset. The receiver is located adjacent to the status LED which is illuminated when the
system is active.
The DVD player in the overhead console has an auto eject feature to protect the DVD or CD in the unit from damage
due to excessive heat. The status LED will flash to alert the user to this condition. If the temperature exceeds 70
°
C
(158
°
F), the DVD system automatically ejects the DVD or CD and shuts down, preventing further operation. When
the temperature in the vehicle has returned to 64
°
C (147
°
F) or less, press the 'Power' button on the handset or open
the LCD monitor to switch on the system.
