1.0 General Information
1.1 Introduction
This manual contains information for the installation of the Audio
International, Inc. (AI) Digital Video Disc Player, Model No. DVD-021-0x-x.
The “-0x”in the model number represents the specific model number (-01,
-02, 03). The “-x”suffix represents the type of connector utilized.
Information contained within this publication includes relative physical,
mechanical, and electrical characteristics. Also included within this
publication are additional references needed for installation of the unit.
1.2 Purpose of the Equipment
The DVD-021-0x-x is a high-quality video disc player specifically designed
to meet the special requirements of aircraft use. This video disc player
represents a new digital medium with the capacity to incorporate an entire
feature film - up to 133 minutes of brilliant, full-motion video per side on a
5”DVD compact disc. Also, the DVD unit plays standard 5”audio CD’s.
The DVD can be mounted in a cabinet or bulkhead. AI source equipment
can be optionally controlled by infrared remote. Playback options with the
remote control unit include visual search, pause, play, stop, fast forward
and rewind.
1.3 Operational Features
Operational features of the DVD-021-0x-x include hi-fidelity, digital stereo
audio output, video resolution of 720 pixels/horizontal line, operation
directly from 28 VDC, and infrared remote control capacity. These units
are fully compatible with AI’s proprietary RS-485 digital data bus control
systems.
The DVD format offers an array of interactive video features. Each disc
can provide up to eight soundtrack language options and up to 32
subtitles. Digital control enables frame by frame disc advancement, slow-
motion video playback, instant jumps to any point in a movie, fast-
forwarding, or freezing on a single frame. Also, favorite order or random
segments can be programmed. All of the aforementioned interactive
video features are dependent upon manufacturer programming applied to
each DVD disc at the time of release.

1.4 Optional Equipment
The front bezel of the units can be customized to match the interior style
of any aircraft. They can be plated or painted to match any interior.
AI source equipment is configured to accept digital infrared commands.
Digital codes allow the source equipment to interface with an infrared
handheld remote control (AI-RC1-17xxxx) via an infrared receiver, IFR-9A
or IFR-485. This hand-held remote control operates functions such as
visual search, pause, play, stop, fast-forward, and rewind.
2.0 Installation
2.1 Prior to Installation
The DVD is a small, lightweight unit to use and install. All audio input and
output cables on the unit should use twisted shielded pair (22 AWG
minimum) unless otherwise specified. The units must be attached to
conform to the standards designated by the customer, installing agency,
and existing conditions as to the unit location and type of installation. The
following should be carefully considered before installation:
2.1.1 Select a mounting location for the unit where 28 VDC power, video,
and audio signal have been previously installed. Refer to Section
5.0 Specifications and Drawings for location of mounting points.
2.1.2 All headphone amplifiers and line level amplifiers should be located
no more than three feet away from source equipment. Long low-
level audio runs may introduce noise into the audio signal.
2.1.3 Avoid installing the unit where it will be exposed to excessive heat,
excessive moisture, splashing liquids, dusty areas, direct sunlight,
or angled/inclined installations.
2.2 Unpacking & Inspection
2.2.1 Carefully open the packaging and remove the unit. Verify that all
components have been included in the package per the packing
list. Inspect the unit for damage. Retain the packing materials and
packing list.
If damage has occurred during shipping, a claim must be filed with
AI within 24 hours after unpacking and a “Return Request
Authorization Number”must be obtained from AI. Refer to the front
cover of this manual for address and telephone number of Audio
International, Inc. Repackage the unit in its original packaging
materials and return it to AI following instructions given by the AI
representative. If no return is necessary, retain the packing
materials for storage or reshipment if necessary.

2.3 Cautions & Warnings
2.3.1 All audio and video connections to the unit should be shielded and
properly grounded. Perform a pin-to-pin check to confirm that all
wires terminate in their proper location. It is important to do a
power and ground check on the pin connections. Ensure that
power and ground are applied only where required.
2.3.2 DO NOT connect or disconnect the unit while power is applied.
2.3.3 DO NOT remove any factory-installed screws. Damage to the unit
may result and any warranties will become void.
2.4 Wiring Requirements
2.4.1 The installing agency must supply and fabricate all external cables.
The length and routing of external cables must be carefully studied
and planned before attempting installation of the equipment. Allow
adequate space for installation of cable and connectors. Avoid
sharp bends and placing cables near aircraft control cables.
Maintain a minimum clearance of three (3) inches from any control
cable. If wiring is run parallel to combustible fluid or oxygen lines,
maintain a separation of six (6) inches between the lines.
2.4.2 All power and ground wires must be 22 AWG minimum. All audio
lines require twisted, shielded cable with the cable shields properly
grounded at the source. Power ground wires must be grounded
within twelve (12) inches of the unit. All wires must be in
accordance with MIL-W-22759 or equivalent. Twisted, shielded
cable must be in accordance with MIL-W-27500 or equivalent.
Protect power wires with circuit breakers or fuses located close to
the electrical power source bus.
2.4.3 All video line connections require shielded coaxial cable with the
shield properly grounded at the source. RG-179 cable or
equivalent is recommended.
2.4.4 The DVD is designed to interface with other AI equipment via AI’s
proprietary RS-485 digital data bus. This is a bi-directional data
bus that allows multiple units to be connected simultaneously. The
lines are daisy-chained between units. Cable designed specifically
for data bus use with 120-ohm nominal impedance should be
utilized. Contact Audio International for recommended cables and
interface to RS-485 data bus connections if further assistance is
needed.

2.5 Physical Requirements
2.5.1 Refer to Section 5.0 for unit dimensions and attachment points.
2.5.2 Allow a minimum of 1”air space around the unit to allow for proper
air circulation to prevent the build-up of internal heat.
2.5.3 The DVD-021-0x-x must not be mounted on its side, at an angle or
in an inclined position.
2.6 Electrical Requirements
2.6.1 The DVD-021-0x-x utilizes one 15-pin connector for electrical
connections. This connector provides 28 VDC, left/right audio
output, data bus control, and infrared input. Refer to section 2.8 for
connector/unit connector information.
2.6.2 Standard configuration requires no strap pins to be connected.
Each different type of AI source equipment can be configured to
accept one of four (4) different sets of infrared codes. To change
the code settings, connect one (1) of the strap pins to the strap
common (never connect more than 1 strap pin to the strap
common). Three (3) strap pins are available to allow the infrared
codes to be configured.
Additionally, the strap pins may be used in the event more than one
unit is to be installed within the same RS-485 digital data bus
system. Refer to the above steps for connection of the strap pins.
Up to four (4) units may be used within the same RS-485 digital
data bus system.
2.6.3 The video output connector (BNC1) allows for proper video output
to the video distribution system.
2.6.4 The infrared input provides a ground reference connection (-). For
optimum infrared signal transmission, this ground reference
connection should connect along with the chassis ground reference
connection (pin 2) to the same ground termination location as that
of the IFR-9A or IFR-485 module being utilized. If this is not
possible, then the infrared ground reference connection for the
DVD-021-0x-x should be made within 12”of the unit.
