Important Notice
It is unlawful in most jurisdictions for a person to drive a motor vehicle
which is equipped with a television viewer or screen that is located in
the motor vehicle at any point forward of the back of the driver’s seat, or
that is visible, directly or indirectly, to the driver while operating the
vehicle. In the interest of safety, the unit should never be installed where
it is visible, directly or indirectly, by the operator of the motor vehicle. If
your vehicle is equipped with a wireless rear seat audio system or any
other wireless IR device, power system off in order to operate the DVD
headrest system. If system is powered on, the two systems may interfere
with each other canceling out or creating undesirable audio through the
wireless headphones.
Safety Precaution
For safety reasons, when changing video discs it is recommended that
the vehicle not be in motion, and that you do not allow children to
unfasten safety belts to change discs or make any adjustments to the
system. System adjustments can be accomplished using the remote
control unit, while safety belts remain fastened. Enjoy your
entertainment system but remember that safety of all passengers remains
the number one priority.
Wireless Headphones
This unit includes a built-in dual channel infrared transmitter for use
with a wireless headphone. The volume can then be adjusted with the
controls on each headset. The wireless headphone must be used within a
line of sight from the transmitter as infrared transmission, like visible
light, travels only in a straight line.
Wired Headphones
There is a one-eighth inch headphone jack on the device that can be
used with any standard stereo headphone. Remove and save the
protective plastic cover to access the jacks. Remember to replace the
cover when the jacks are not in use.

An external AV device such as a DVD player, video game device, or other
audio/video device may be connected to the unit by using the “AV
INPUT” port consisting of three RCA jacks (Yellow: Video, Red: Audio-R,
White: Audio-L). To display and listen to the video/audio signal of this
external source, connect the video source RCA cables to the AV inputs
on the monitor. The video source overrides any other video source for
