beginning the installation. We recommend having your Jensen VM8012
installed by a reputable installation shop.
TRANSPORT SCREWS
INSTALLATION
HALF SLEEVE
This unit is designed for installation in cars, trucks and vans with an existing
radio opening. In many cases, a special installation kit will be required to
mount the radio to the dashboard. These kits are available at electronics
supply stores and car stereo specialty shops. Always check the kit
application before purchasing to make sure the kit works with your vehicle.
If you have trouble locating a kit or need installation assistance, contact
Technical Support at 1-800-323-4815 from 8:30am to 7:00pm EST Monday
through Friday and from 9:00am to 5:00pm EST on Saturday.

3. Remove Radio from Sleeve
Lift latches on both sides of sleeve to remove half-sleeve from radio.
Mounting Sleeve Installation
Tools and Supplies
1. Slide the mounting sleeve off the chassis. If it is locked into position,
use the removal tools (supplied) to disengage it.
2. Check the dashboard opening size by sliding the mounting sleeve into
it.
The following tools and supplies are needed to install the radio:
•
•
•
Torx type, flathead and Philips screwdrivers
Wire cutters and strippers
Tools to remove existing radio (screwdriver, socket wrench set or other
tools)
•
•
•
•
•
•
Electrical tape
Crimping tool
Volt meter/test light
Crimp connections
18 gauge wire for power connections
16-18 gauge speaker wire
If the opening is too small, carefully cut or file as necessary until the
sleeve easily slides into the opening. Do not force the sleeve into the
opening or cause it to bend or bow. Check for sufficient space behind
the dashboard for the radio chassis.
Preparation
1. Disconnect Battery
Before you begin, always disconnect the battery negative terminal.
3. Locate the series of bend tabs along the top, bottom, and sides of the
mounting sleeve. With the sleeve fully inserted into the dashboard
opening, bend as many of the tabs outward as necessary to firmly
secure the sleeve to the dashboard.
NOTE: If the VM8012 is to be installed in a car equipped with an on-
board drive or navigation computer, do not disconnect the battery
cable. If the cable is disconnected, the computer memory may be lost.
Under these conditions, use extra caution during installation to avoid
causing a short circuit.
CAUTION: For proper operation of the DVD player, the chassis must
be mounted within 20° of horizontal. Make sure the unit is mounted
within this limitation.

MP3 Playing Order
Loading an SD Card
Open the panel and insert the SD card into the slot. Close the panel and the
unit will read the files on the card automatically.
When selected for play, files and folders (Folder Search, File Search or
Folder Select) are accessed in the order in which they were written to the
media. As a result, the order in which they are expected to be played may
not match the order in which they are actually played. You may be able to
set the order in which MP3/WMA files are to be played by assigning file
names beginning with play sequence numbers such as "01" to "99". For
example, a medium with the following folder/file hierarchy is subject to
Folder Search, File Search or Folder Select as shown below.
To remove the card, first press the SRC button (6) to switch to another
mode and stop SD playback. Press the SD card to pop it out, then remove
the card.
Loading a USB Device
Insert the USB device into the USB jack. The unit will read the files on the
USB device automatically.
The VM8012 player will only recognize three folder levels and does not
display folders containing only other folders. In the example above, the unit
will display folders 3, 4, 6, and 8, but not 2 and 7 since they do not contain
any tracks directly. Folder 5 is not recognized at all since it is at the fourth
level.
To remove the USB device, press the SRC button (6) to switch to another
mode and then remove the USB device from the USB jack.

minimize interruption of disc play due to normal vibration in a moving
vehicle. However, occasional sound skips may occur when driving on
very rough roads. This will not scratch or damage the disc, and normal
play will resume when the rough conditions cease.
1. Do not touch the disc surface.
2. Never use chemicals such as record sprays or household cleaners to
clean discs, as they can irreparably damage the disc’s surface.
