Safety Instructions and Cautions  
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS EQUIP-  
MENT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK AND  
ANNOYING INTERFERENCE, USE ONLY THE INCLUDED HARDWARE.  
THIS MONITOR IS ONLY DESIGNED FOR REAR SEAT PASSENGER VIEWING AND IS NOT  
INTENDED FOR VIEWING BY THE DRIVER WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. SUCH USE MAY  
DISTRACT THE DRIVER OR INTERFERE WITH THE SAFE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE, AND  
MAY ALSO VIOLATE STATE LAW.  
DIRECTED ELECTRONICS, INC. DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY BODILY INJURY,  
INCLUDING FATALITIES, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE THAT MAY RESULT FROM ANY IMPROPER OR  
UNINTENDED USES OF THIS PRODUCT.  
SHOULD THE LCD PANEL BREAK OR LEAK FLUID, AVOID ALL CONTACT WITH THE UNIT. IF  
YOU SHOULD COME IN CONTACT WITH THE LEAKED FLUID, WASH THE AFFECTED AREA  
THOROUGHLY WITH WATER AND SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.  
During operation, if the unit should over-heat or malfunction, switch off the unit and see your  
dealer. Do not disassemble the unit as there are no user-serviceable parts in this unit and the war-  
ranty will be voided.  
Should there be a need to replace a blown fuse, turn off the unit and disconnect all power to  
the player. Use only the correct rating fuse to avoid electrical damage to the unit.  
Only operate the monitor as described in this guide. Attempts to use or modify this monitor  
contrary to the descriptions in this guide may cause damage and void the warranty.  
Extremes in temperature can cause abnormal display operation. This monitor has an optimal  
operating temperature range between 32–120 degrees Fahrenheit. If the vehicle interior is outside  
this range, do NOT operate the monitor until the temperature is within its operating range.  
Exposure to moisture or dust can cause harmful damage to the internal electronics. Do not  
mount near cup holders or in areas where spills may occur.  
This monitor is designed for use in vehicles with standard (-) 12 volt ground electrical systems.  
Do not operate for an extended period of time without the engine running or the vehicle’s bat-  
tery voltage may drop to levels precluding engine starting.  
Do not drop the LCD panel or subject it to direct impact. This will damage the panel and/or  
the back light element.  
When operating the unit, avoid contact with the LCD panel.  
Prevent metal or foreign objects being locked between the LCD screen and the enclosure.  
Keep unit away from equipment with strong magnets such as large loudspeakers.

Installation Procedure  
1. Identify the polarity of the dome light circuit and set the switch on the cable connection side  
of the overhead monitor housing to match the vehicle’s door trigger polarity. Factory default posi-  
tion for this switch is Negative. This switch is marked with the following instruction label.

2. Test fit the overhead monitor system on the ceiling of the vehicle, verifying it is not going to  
interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle and is physically safe for the driver and passenger(s).  
3. Once the mounting location of the overhead monitor system has been determined, carefully  
mark the location with masking tape.  
4. Lower the vehicle's headliner down to see if a roof support beam is available to screw the  
mounting bracket to. If a support beam is not available to screw into, use a ¾" piece of plywood  
cut to the appropriate size. Attach the plywood to the roof of the vehicle using silicone allowing  
adequate drying time before proceeding.  
5. Screw the mounting bracket in the vehicle. DOUBLE CHECK THE LENGTH OF THE SCREWS PRIOR  
TO MOUNTING THE BRACKET, TO PRECLUDE PENETRATION OF THE VEHICLE’S ROOF.

6. Cut a 1" hole in the headliner along the backside of the mounting bracket for the cables to  
pass through.  
7. Route cables through the hole to the predetermined location of the AV source(s).  
8. Identify the dome light wires in the vehicle and connect them to the corresponding dome light  
wires on the overhead monitor system. Ensure the domelight switch is in the correct position.  
9. Plug in the DIN, Dome Light cable and Secondary power cables into the overhead monitor system.  
10. Carefully hold the overhead monitor system to the mounting bracket aligning the mounting  
holes while screwing in the screws. (Make sure the wires and cables are not in the way while mount-  
ing the monitor).  
11. Connect the Secondary Power cable from the monitor to the A/V switch box.  
12. Ground the Black wire of the power cable to a clean ground spot.  
13. Connect the Yellow wire of the power cable to the battery positive terminal.  
14. Connect the Red wire of the power cable to the Accessory wire in the ignition harness.  
NOTE: Make sure you keep the ground wire of the monitor and video source as short  
as possible to prevent unwanted audio noise pickup from the vehicle’s systems.

Troubleshooting  
No Picture  
Press the POWER  
and SOURCE buttons (or the  
button on the remote) to make sure the  
monitor is on and the proper input is selected. If there is still no picture press the PICTURE button.  
If the DVD menu appears, check the source unit.  
If no DVD menu appears, check all fuses and power connections to the model. Inspect the connect-  
ing cables for any fraying or breakage.  
No Sound  
If acquiring signal from another remote device (e.g. DVD player or CD player) ensure the device is  
setup correctly.  
The DVD player is in pause, slow motion, fast forward, or fast reverse mode. Place player in play  
mode.  
Picture Rolls  
Check that the T.V. type setting is correct for the monitors and DVDs being used. PAL video often  
rolls on NTSC monitors.  
With a DVD player and a widescreen DVD disc, there are black bars on the screen  
Change the TV display mode to "WIDE" in the DVD player's setup menu. After changing this setting,  
if there are still black bars, press the MODE button on the remote control.  
With a widescreen 16:9 monitor, I have black bars on the screen  
Change the TV display mode to "Wide".

The Remote does NOT Function  
Are there obstacles obstructing the view between the monitor and the remote.  
The distance between the remote and monitor is too great.  
The remote is not being pointed at the monitor’s IR receiver.  
The batteries in the remote are weak.  
DISC does NOT Play (with optional DVD player installed)  
Parental code is set lower than than allowed by the DVD mounted.  
Ensure the disk is mounted in the player with the correct orientation (shiny side up).  
The disk is warped.  
The player cannot play certain formats (see the beginning of this manual).  
The region code on the DVD does not match the player.  
Moisture condensation has occurred within the player. Leave the unit on and the disc access cover  
open and try again after about 30 minutes.  
The disc has not been properly finalized (formatted) when recorded. Refer to your manual that came  
with your disc authoring equipment.  
Unit does NOT Display or Operate Correctly  
Press Reset button located on the monitor along side the removable DVD player location. This resets  
all of the system, except for the Password and Parental Level setting.
