Installation precautions  
Installation  
Choose a mounting location in your  
vehicle which is protected from foot  
traffic and passengers who might  
accidentally disconnect the cables. Be  
sure you can see each of the monitors  
from the mounting location if you  
intend to make the level adjustments  
without and assistant.  
Mount the video amplifier in a suitable  
location.  
Connect the RCA video input and  
output cables to the amplifier as  
shown in the wiring diagram.  
Adjusting the video  
signal level  
Do not install the video signal amplifier  
in areas which are susceptible to rain,  
moisture, direct sunlight, extreme heat  
or cold, excessive dust, dirt or humidity.  
Before starting, rotate the output level  
controls on your new video signal  
amplifier to MINIMUM.  
If installation requires drilling holes or  
other modifications to the vehicle,  
consult with your nearest dealer or  
professional car audio installer.  
Turn on the video monitor whose video  
input signal you wish to amplify.  
Turn on your DVD player (or other  
video source), and play a familiar video  
program.  
Use only the installation parts and  
hardware provided with the unit to  
ensure proper installation. Using other  
parts can cause malfunction and  
possible damage to your video monitor  
or other components in your mobile  
video system.  
At the MINIMUM setting, your monitor  
image is probably dark and  
unsatisfactory to view. Now slowly  
increase the output gain level for that  
monitor, until the picture is clear and  
bright. Continue to increase the gain  
level until you begin to see lines or  
other undesirable characteristics in  
the picture.  
Use only a power source with 12 Volts  
DC (negative ground).  
Before final installation, temporarily  
connect the wiring according to the  
diagram near the end of this manual,  
check it to ensure that it has been  
connected properly, and test the unit  
to make sure it is working correctly.  
Finally, reduce the gain level back to  
the point where you feel the picture  
is best from the standpoint of color,  
brightness, and freedom from defects.  
Leave the control set at this level.  
Repeat this process with the other  
monitors in your mobile video system.
