Rosen A8 Owner’s Manual
USING THE INCLUDED WIRELESS HEADPHONES
The system comes with two pair of wireless infrared (IR) head-
phones, Rosen model number AC3003, which receive a signal from
an IR transmitter concealed in the frame around the display. These
headphones allow rear-seat passengers to hear a DVD, CD, video
cassette, or video game without disturbing front-seat passengers.
To turn the headphones on and off, push the Power ON/OFF button
on the right ear piece. The Power LED on the left ear piece indicates
when headphone power is on. Power turns off automatically after
three minutes of no audio to preserve battery life.
To adjust the headphone volume, rotate the thumb wheel switch on
the headphones.
To adjust the headphone size for differently-sized heads, slide the
top as needed (see below).

LISTENING OVER THE CAR SPEAKERS
The A8 uses an FM Modulator to send audio through the vehicle radio
and thus through the speakers. To listen to A8 system audio through
your car speakers:
1 Press SPEAKER. “Speaker Sound Enabled” will appear on the
screen. (If “Headphone Sound Only” appears, press SPEAKER
again.)
2 Turn on the car radio. Make sure MUTE is off. Tune to FM
frequency 87.9. If no system audio is heard, try tuning in 88.3.
To turn off A8 system audio over the car speakers, press SPEAKER.
“Headphone Sound Only” appears on the screen. Audio from the A8
system is then heard only over the headphones.
The system “remembers” which mode you have selected, and will
return to that mode each time the system is turned on. You may want
to store the FM Modulator frequency as a preset on your radio for
ease of use. This will be either 87.9 or 88.3 FM.
Note: When the FM Modulator is on, you may notice some
reduced radio reception. When the system is off, the FM
Modulator also turns off. To listen to the radio when the
system is not in use, close the monitor, and both the system
and the FM Modulator will turn off.
Note: If there seems to be a strong station on the FM
Modulator frequency, your Rosen authorized dealer can
switch the system to the alternate frequency.
