This manual contains information for the proper installation and operation
of DeCrane Aerospace Audio International’s Dual Digital Video Disc
Player, Model # DVD-5x2-01-x. The “x” in the “-5x2” designates the
differences between units. The DVD-502-01-x is a base dual DVD unit.
The DVD-512-01-x has additional mounting brackets and a wider cover
bezel to support existing installations of past generation players. The “-x”
suffix in the model number designates the type of connector utilized; “-1” =
Positronic and “-2” = D-Subminiature. Also included are mechanical and
electrical characteristics of the unit.
1.2 Purpose of the Equipment

designed with maximum shock isolation and an attractive removable cover
bezel. Additionally, the DVD-5x2-01-x supports all DVD region codes for
comprehensive international operation.
DVD-5x2-01-x can be mounted in a cabinet or bulkhead. A unique
strapping feature allows up to four (4) similar devices to be used in the
same system at the same time for a total of eight (8) selectable players,
while maintaining independent control.
For installation ease, the DVD-512-01-x has been designed to replace any
