User manual DELPHI DVDM-800 INSTALLATION GUIDE

[. . . ] · Do not leave the unit's dome light on while the vehicle is unattended. The dome light could drain the vehicle's battery. · When not in use, place the remote control and headphones where they will not be damaged. · Before putting on headphones, always adjust the volume setting at the lowest level to avoid possible hearing damage. This is the safety alert symbol. [. . . ] Unpack DVDM-800 and identify all components. Review and become familiar with the operating and installation literature. Note electrical requirements and determine the installation technique best suited to the vehicle. Determine installation locations for all components, noting all potential obstacles. Prepare the vehicle for installation: · Locate an accessory power source (+12V when the ignition key is in the ACC and "on" positions; 0V when the ignition is turned to "off"). Also locate a constant power source (+12V DC at all times) as well as a good grounding point. These connection points are typically found at the ignition switch, fuse box, radio, etc. · To gain access to the vehicle's wiring, remove the ceiling panel and any interior trim, using an upholstery hook tool if necessary. · Remove vehicle dome light, if necessary. · Cut any required access holes (headliner, other trim components, etc. ). · If shroud will be used, additional trimming of the shroud may be required to conform to the vehicle roof. Caution: Take care when removing the dome light and cutting the headliner to not damage the headliner fabric. 7. Mount DVDM-800, following the instructions provided in this guide. Recheck all system functions to ensure that wiring is connected properly and that no wires are kinked or pinched. Warning: Failure to properly follow these instructions could result in damage to the vehicle, its electronic system, other property, or personal injury and/or death. MOUNTING DVDM-800 Recommended Tools and Equipment · Upholstery hook tool (for removal of panels, if necessary) · Scribe · #1 and #2 Phillips screwdrivers · Utility knife, razor knife, or shears · Wire strippers · Electrical tape · Multimeter (to verify correct voltages and continuity; Delphi does not recommend using a test light or logic probe for this purpose) Depending on the roof geometry of the particular vehicle in which you are installing DVDM-800, there are three installation options: Attaching the unit directly to the roof supports with the shroud, bolting it into the mounting bracket alone, or installing it with both the shroud and the mounting bracket. See Figure 2. Note: The following mounting sequence may be modified based on the installation option chosen. 5. Route the power and A/V cables and any other component/accessory wiring throughout the vehicle, protecting wiring from sharp edges. For guidance, refer to the wiring diagram on page 6 as well as any instructions provided with other hardware such as gaming systems. Connect all electrical components, insert a DVD, and verify that all system functions work properly prior to final mounting in the vehicle. 1. With panels, trim, and dome light removed, install the video monitor temporarily to the vehicle roof by opening the unit and inserting bolts through the bolt holes directly into the roof supports. Leave a gap between the headliner and the outer flange of the video monitor. Following the contour of the roof, mark the area to be trimmed on the shroud so that it will fill the gap between the headliner and outer flange. 4 3. Using a sharp utility knife or shears, score the plastic along the cutline with several passes, cutting a little deeper each time. When you have cut about halfway through the plastic, bend it back and forth several times for a clean cut. [. . . ] Negative switched systems illuminate the bulbs by applying ground. The wires at the dome light will help you determine which system you have. · On a positive switched system, with all vehicle doors closed and lights out, both wires at the dome light will rest at ground. When the light is turned on, one of these wires will switch to +12V DC (the vehicle's switching wire). [. . . ]
