- The main unit can only support the
standard USB-memory disc which is
approved by Microsoft.
- USB MP3 player is not a "standard"
which means different brand names or
different models have their own
standards. Therefore, this unit may not
support every MP3 player.
- When connecting an MP3 player which
has a normal battery in the player (non
rechargeable battery), you should
remove the battery from the MP3 player
before you connect it to the USB port.
Otherwise, it may cause the battery to
explode.
This disc player offers you the option of
using the auxiliary front panel A/V input
jack (8) to connect a video game, digital
camera/camcorder or other video source
you wish to use in your mobile video
system.

FM Modulator Operation
Why use the built-in FM Modulator?
Selecting an operating frequency
If the receiver you currently have in your
vehicle lacks audio inputs, the built-in FM
Modulator of the BV2950TU offers an
easy way to deliver the audio output from
the BV2950TU to your car's audio
system.
This powerful FM Modulator is designed
to input directly to your car radio in the
FM band between 87.7MHz and
88.9MHz. This portion of the radio band
(the left end of the spectrum) has fewer
stations present so is ideal for this
purpose.
To select an FM operating frequency, put
the unit into DVD mode. Then press the
button repeatedly to step through
and select an FM frequency between
87.7MHz and 88.9MHz.
Tune your vehicle radio to this same
frequency. If audio quality is good, set a
radio preset button to this frequency your
setup is complete!
If you experience interference or poor
reception, try one of the other available
frequencies. Be sure to change your
radio to the new frequency you just set,
and check the audio quality. Repeat this
process until you achieve the best
results.

System Setup
TV SYSTEM
Setup You can either choose AUTO SELECT,
which will sense the type of monitor
attached to the output and select NTSC
or PAL as needed. If you know the type of
monitor, you should choose the type in
this menu rather than letting AUTO
SELECT do it for you. This is because
there may be an undesirable small delay
and some flickering of the screen during
the AUTO-SELECT process.
As with computer monitor, video screens
can “burn in” if a still image is displayed
too long on the screen. This unit features
a “screen saver” which produces a
moving image to avoid burn-in, if
SCREEN SAVER is enabled in the Setup
menu.
TV types can vary based on their aspect
ratio. The common monitors fall into one
of three categories:4:3 (PS/Pan and
Scan), 4:3 (LB /Letterbox) or 16:9 (
Widescreen). Playing a video recorded in
one aspect ratio on a monitor with a
different ratio can result in some
mismatches and undesirable display
distortion or cutoffs. Read the following
to assist you in setting up the TV type:
Select this when connected to a
conventional 4:3 size monitor. The
picture will fill the entire TV screen.
However, due to the mismatch in aspect
ratio, parts of the movie at the extreme
left and right sides will not be visible
(when playing a 16:9 size movie).
4:3 (Pan and Scan) format is the factory
default setting for this product.
