Frequently Asked Questions

Resetting the System

If the system locks up for any reason, reset the unit.

Solution: To RESET the system, press and hold the RESET Button for 3 or more seconds. The RESET Button is

located in the Display Pocket.

Finding the best power point

Avoid connection to wires which supply the following: fan/seat/mirror motors power, excessively large sized wires, glow

plug power lines, radio power lines, defroster power lines, etc.

Solution: Open power points can be located in the fuse box, which are designed for accessory equipment – when in

doubt, check Dealer Central for Tech Tips at www.rosenentertainment.com.

The DVD restarts when the vehicle is started

Normally the DVD should restart at the point it was when the vehicle was turned off. However, if the voltage falls below

approximately 10VDC when starting the vehicle, the system will restart at the beginning of the DVD.

Solution: Check the battery to be sure it is fully charged, new vehicles rarely have a fully charged battery.

Solution: Older batteries can not provide the necessary voltage during a engine cranking, replace the battery.

Solution: Extreme climate conditions (cold or hot) will reduce the efﬁciency of the battery, be sure the battery is fully

charged and in good condition. Replace the battery if needed.

Solution: Relocate the 12VDC (+) power point to a more stable location

The System shuts down or locks up after a few minutes of operation

The System is designed to turn off at low voltages. If the voltage falls below approximately 10VDC the system may shut

down to preserve the battery.

Solution: Check the battery to be sure it is fully charged, new vehicles rarely have a fully charged battery.

Solution: Move the 12V ACC to a new location, the current location may be a timed circuit.

Solution: Move the 12V ACC to a new location, the current location may not provide enough current (3 AMPS min).

The System stays on and never shuts off

The System is designed to shut down when the key is turned off. If the ACC (Red) wire is connected to a constant 12VDC

(+) power point the system will system will stay on until the battery dies.

Solution: Check the ACC connection point to be sure it is switched with the key, and relocate as needed.

Reducing Vibration Noise

Loose harnesses and mounting brackets can cause vibration noises in the vehicle.

Solution: Place Duct Tape between the Mounting Bracket and the vehicle attachment point to dampen any noises

Solution: Tape all wiring harnesses in place to the headliner and vehicle before re-installing the vehicle trim.

Discs that Will Not Eject

Discs that will not eject are typically the result of too much pressure on the DVD Guide or an improper format disk type.

Solution: Try loosening the mounting screws and/or matching the trim ring to the headliner contours.

Solution: To EJECT an improper format disc, RESET the system, and then press EJECT repeatedly as the system re-

starts, the disc will eject.

No Headphone Audio

The Headphone audio should be preset at all times, unless the MUTE is set to on, or a DVD Setting has been changed in

the DVD Settings Menu.

Solution: Press the MUTE Button to enable the audio and turn the MUTE OFF.

Solution: Conﬁrm that the Headphones have fresh batteries, are turned on, and the ON LED Indicator is Illuminated.

Solution: Check the DVD Setting and restore them to FACTORY SETTINGS if needed (see the Owners Manual).

Reducing Audio or Video Noise

Audio or video noise may be induced into the system from sources ranging from harness location, power point to poor

grounding.

Solution: Reroute the wire harnesses to avoid passing over other harnesses or near electrical motors.

Solution: Check the Power Point by selecting a different 12VDC (+) power point or running a wire directly to the battery.

Solution: Check the ground point selected, by moving the ground point to a new location.

Solution: In some cases, inline audio ﬁlters may be required. Contact Rosen for support on selection of a ﬁlter.

Checking Firmware Versions

Periodically the Firmware may be updated to improve performance.

Solution: Verify Firmware load as follows

Mpeg: Press EJECT-ENTER-1-2-3-4-5

System: Press EJECT-ENTER-1-1-2-0
