Headrest Housing/Bezel Installation
1. Remove the cover from the headrest.
2. Using the headrest housing as a template, posi-
tion the housing over the backside of the headrest
and mark the foam with a felt tip pen. Cut the
marked portion of foam and pull out the cut por-
tion.
3. Insert the headrest housing into the headrest
and secure the the headrest. Usually wire ties
attached to the headrest posts is sufficient.
NOTE: Ensure that the UP arrow on the headrest housing
is pointing up.
4. Replace the cover over the headrest. Mark 1-
1/2” from the inside of the headrest housing and
cut the material away.
5. Optional Step: Glue the material to the inside of
the headrest housing. Take care not to use exces-
sive glue so that the headrest bezel is not glued to
the headrest housing.
NOTE: Glue is not required if the material of the headrest
covering is of sufficient thickness to be tensioned by the
headrest bezel.
6. Insert the headrest bezel into the headrest
housing and secure the assembly using the provid-
ed hardware.
NOTE: Ensure that the UP arrow on the headrest bezel is
pointing up.

Headrest Installation
1. Unplug the DIN cable from the monitor.
8-pin main
DIN cable
5-pin adapter
cable
2. Connect the LCD screen’s 8-pin DIN plug into
the 8-pin DIN plug of the headrest.
NOTE: When assembling the cable, match the arrows at
each end of the connector.
NOTE: Feed and orient the connector assembly behind
the shroud mount in the lower right hand corner. You
may have to feed some of the DIN cable up into the
headrest to accomplish this positioning.
3. Position the monitor over the mounting shroud
and apply even pressure to each corner of the mon-
itor until the internal clips lock the monitor in
place.
NOTE: Do not press on the LCD screen as this will dam-
age the screen.
4. Tape the end of the DIN plug to prevent dam-
age to the pins. Then feed this cable from the hol-
low post of the headrest down through the seat
back and connect it to the cable from the DVD play-
er.
NOTE: Ensure the cable does not entangle or interfere
with the seat positioning/adjusting mechanism.

5. To remove the monitor from the mounting
shroud for service or repair, insert and slide a plas-
tic card at the edge of the monitor. This will remove
the clip engagement of the monitor. Slightly lift
this side of the monitor out, then repeat this pro-
cedure on the other side of the monitor.

Multiple A/V Input Selector
Refer to diagram on the next page for the discussion that follows:
CONNECTING A MONITOR TO MULTIPLE SOURCES
When the monitor(s) power is turned on the input source will appear in the upper
right hand corner (AV1, AV2, etc.). Press the SOURCE button on the remote to
switch between the available sources for that monitor.
NOTE: If PARKING is displayed on the screen, it means that this monitor(s) will not
display video until the parking brake is set (vehicle parked).
NOTE: You cannot change sources on video output 3 using the source selector, Only
the remote will switch #3 output between the 3 video inputs.
For operating convienence, when the system is connected to several other devices
which have their own remotes, you can use those remotes through the HVM702a to
operate the other devices. This is done by connecting the Remote Eye IR interface
cable from the other devices to the R(emote) Sensor Input at the VS102 video
selector.
