Ventilation
Slots and openings in the player are provided for ventilation, to ensure correct operation of
the product. These openings protect the unit from overheating and must not be blocked or
covered. It is recommended that the player have a minimum 1-inch of ventilation around
the unit and not be installed in a location that does not have circulating air.
The following types of discs are supported
Notes:
•Writeable discs (DVD-RW, DVD-R) must be finalized, VR-mode only.
•Playback may not work for some types of discs, or when specific operations, such as angle change
and aspect ratio adjustment, are being performed. Information about the discs is written in detail on
the box. Please refer to this if necessary.
•Do not allow the disc to become dirty or scratched. Fingerprints, dirt, dust, scratches or deposits of
cigarette smoke on the recording surface will disrupt the proper operation and may prevent playback
of the disc.
•MP3 files must be written to the disc with an .mp3 file extension in order to be recognized and played
back properly.
•High bitrate or variable bitrate .mp3 and .wma files may not play back correctly.JPEG picture files
must be written to the disc with a .jpeg or .jpg file extension in order to be recognized and played back
properly.
Due to differing menu formats among Blu-ray and standard DVD-videos, the enter key may be
required to start some movies at the home screen, while the play key is required to start other
movies at the home screen. This can occur on both Blu-ray and standard DVD movies. If a movie
does not start when prompted, try using the enter button if play does not respond, or press the
play button if enter does not respond. Again, this is a function of individual Blu-ray and DVD
Discs, not the player.

Installation Instructions
All cabin entertainment equipment, such as the FD932DVD-BLU-2 (VER HDSDI), should be
installed on a non-essential bus and have a dedicated circuit breaker. The units include two
angle mounting brackets which can be installed at the top or bottom on each side of the
player. The FD932DVD-BLU-2 player also includes a strain relief bracket which is used to
secure the HDMI cable in place with a 3/16” cable tie. NOTE: Care should be taken to
ensure the units are not installed in an area with poor ventilation, or in an area with
excessive heat.

Video Wiring Suggestions
Avoid routing video wiring parallel to:
•AC wiring
•Strobe wiring
•DC motor supply cables
•Inverter cabling
•Or any other potential noise source.
The recommended cable for both composite and SDI is PIC 75 Ohm Coax, P/N V75268.
This is a lightweight, flexible, and low signal loss cable which meets FAA flammability
requirements of FAR 23.1359(d), FAR 25.853(a) and FAR 25.869(a)(4).
Similar aviation coaxial cable can be used from other vendors, as well. Some aircraft are
prone to AC noise - we recommend adding to the composite source a 75Ohm video
isolation transformer such as Deerfield Laboratory, Inc. Part No. 162-1
(www.deerfieldlab.com, [phone]. In most cases this should be added to the video
output of the source.

Audio Wiring
Audio Wiring for Use with Single Ended Audio Inputs. (i.e.: FDACS)
For best performance, use four individual wires or two twisted pairs in a shielded cable.
The four audio wires would be connected to Left +, Left -, Right +, Right -.
All four wires will run from the Blu-ray player to the destination.
Left + and Right + connect to the Left and Right signal inputs respectively.
Left –and Right –will join together at the destination and connect to the receiving
equipment’s audio return pin. The shield will be connected to the fuselage at one place
only.
Audio Wiring for Use with Balanced Audio Inputs
For best performance, use two twisted pairs in a shielded cable or two individual
shielded twisted pairs.
One pair is connected to Left + and Left -. The other pair connects to Right + and Right
- All four wires will run from the Blu-ray player to the destination.
Left + and Left –connect to the receiving equipment’s Left channel input.
Right + and Right –connect to the receiving equipment’s Right channel input.
The shield will be connected to the fuselage at one place only.
NOTE: The FD932DVD-BLU-2 (VER HDSDI) has high impedance balanced outputs instead
of the more popular low impedance inputs. This is usually not a problem. External audio level
pads may be installed at the installer’s discretion.

Power and Ground Wiring
The rated current of the equipment and associated voltage drop should be taken into
consideration when selecting wire gauge. The following example is based on an install
with a 28VDC power system, 1.5-amp equipment load and a total of 50 feet of wire
between the circuit breaker, monitor and ground.
Example: 22awg wire has 16.2 Ohms per 1000 feet, this equates to .81 Ohms for 50 feet.
1.5 Amp of current on .81 Ohms will drop 1.22 Volts.

HDMI HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) defines the protocol and electrical
specifications for the signalling, pin-out, electrical, and mechanical requirements of cable
and connectors used for transmitting High-Definition content. The Type A HDMI
connector (shown below) has 19 pins with bandwidth to support all SDTV, EDTV, and
HDTV modes. The plug's outside dimensions are 13.9 mm wide by 4.45 mm high. There
is no audio output available on the HDMI cable.
ECS manufactures an HDMI cable that is terminated at the factory. It is ordered as part
number 600-19786-XXX, where XXX is the length in inches for the desired cable.
NOTE: On the following Pinout page, Pin 14, 15, 16 are reserved for CAN BUS integration. The
FD932DVD-BLU-2 (VER HDSDI) is only intended to easily integrate with the FDS Avionics Select
CMS. If more information regarding the CAN BUS integration with this device is required, please

RS485 Controls
Full control of the FD932DVD-BLU-(VER HDSDI) can be achieved through a standard RS485
port on the rear panel. All controls available on the front panel and all controls on the Blu-ray
remote control are supported. Please refer to the DB25 connector diagram in the
FD932DVD-BLU-2 VER HDSDI manual for connection information.
RS485 Port Configuration: The RS-485 port is standard 9600 bauds, no parity, 8 data bits,
1 stop bit, and no flow control. It is standard two wires half duplex.
Command Format: <Prefix><Device ID><Address><Command><Termination>
Prefix: One Character. All RS-485 remote commands must start with the “!” character.
Device ID: Two Characters. “BR” identifies all commands directed to the Blu-ray player.
Address: One character in the range of 0 - 7. See Address section below.
Termination: One Character; ASCII CR. Each command must end with Carriage
Return<CR>.
PA Command: PA on will enable PA interrupt.
Command Notes: Each command number corresponds to a remote-control pushbutton as
shown in the figure shown below. An optional ASCII Line Feed Char permitted after the
Carriage Return character.
Example:
!BR135<CR> will send a command to Blu-ray player number 1 to play.
!BR139<CR> will send a command to Blu-ray player number 1 to stop playback.
!BR039<CR> will send a command to all Blu-ray players to stop playback.
!BR0PAOFF<CR> will disable PA interrupt.

RS485 Commands Cont’d
PA Commands:
“PA ON” will enable PA interrupt.
“PA OFF” will disable PA interrupt.
NOTE: “PA ON” command must be received every 9 seconds or interrupt will time out.
Addresses:
Up to 7 Blu-ray players can easily exist on the same CAN bus. Each unit must have a unique
address assigned to it in the range 1 through 7 to permit the commands issued from the
remote controllers to be received by the correct units. Use the chart below for information on
setting the address of each Blu-ray player. If there is a dot in the pin column of the chart, then
connect that pin to Pin 22. Up to three address pins may be connected to Pin 22 at the same
time.
Examples:
If there is a single Blu-ray player in a system, then it should be set to address 1. The player
will be referenced in all Flight Display Configuration Documents as Blu-ray Player #1 or “The
Blu-ray Player.”
If there are two Blu-ray players in a system, then one should be set to address 1 and the
other should be set to address 2. The player that is set to address 1 will be referenced in all
Flight Display Configuration Documents as Blu-ray Player #1. The other Blu-ray Player will be
referenced as Blu-ray Player #2.
If there are three Blu-ray Players, then the Blu-ray player referenced as Blu-ray #1 in the
Flight Display Configuration Documents should be set to address 1, the Blu-ray player
referenced as Blu-ray #2 should be set to address 2, and the Blu-ray player referenced as
Blu-ray #3 should be set to address 3.
This addressing system is used for all installations containing from one to seven players.
