Playing a video or game

Your monitor is preset at the factory to turn on automatically when you start your car’s ignition. The monitor remains dark until it detects a video signal.

If this is the first time you’ve used the unit, make sure your headphones have fresh batteriesinstalled.

Note

Your headphones must be in view of the monitor for the infrared transmis- sion to work.

4.When you see the picture, press WIDE to select the display mode. Depending on the video source, the following display modes are possible.

Aspect ratio comparisons

Notes

When using a DVD player as the source, make sure that the unit’s output mode is set to “Wide” or “16:9.” This ensures that the DVD player will generate a video signal, which can take advantage of the monitor’s aspect ratio.

When using a source that generates a “normal”, 4:3 image signal, such as a videogame or videocassette player, the WIDE button stretches the image to fit the screen. Some minor image distortion may be visible.

Adjusting the picture

If the temperature is normal and the picture still doesn’t look right, you may adjust the tint, color, brightness, and contrast.

1.Press MENU to display the adjustment menus. The monitor displays the adjustment menus.
