Installation Instructions
All cabin entertainment equipment, such as the FD932DVD-LP-2, should be installed on a
non-essential bus and have a dedicated circuit breaker. It is recommended that a switch
be installed in the cockpit so that the pilot can de-energize the entertainment system
should it become necessary.
Power
The FD932DVD-LP-2 requires 12VDC rated at a minimum of .50 Amps or 28VDC rated at
a minimum of .25 Amps to function.
The rated current of the equipment should be taken into consideration when selecting wire
gauge.
It is the installer’s responsibility to understand the product’s requirements and to install the
product in compliance with industry standards and safety.

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.
S-Video/Composite and Audio Wiring
Recommended cable for s-video/composite and audio purposes is PIC 75 Ohm Coax, P/N
V76261. 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 75
Ohm 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.
Power and Ground Wiring
22 AWG wire is recommended for Power and Ground applications.

Operation Instructions
To power the unit up, press the power button. The unit will light up and display a FDS
Avionics logo on the display(s). Insert a CD or DVD into the slot, with label side up (away
from the controls, if mounted vertically). The CD or DVD will load and automatically begin to
play. The FD932DVD-LP-2 does not retain the volume setting when powered down. When
powered off either from the front panel on/off button or from the aircraft, it powers up at max
volume.
Note: CDs and DVDs are recorded at different levels, so it is normal for DVDs to be
quieter than CDs at the same volume setting.

USB & SD Card Video File Types
The FD932DVD-LP-2 is capable of playing videos from the USB port and SD card slot on the
front of the unit. Only certain types of files and encoding types are supported. This is a
hardware limitation of the DVD player chipset and additional support cannot be added with
firmware updates. The table below provides guidelines on compatible file types.
Please note while the FD932DVD-LP-2 can play certain .mp4 files, not all .mp4 files are
supported. MPEG-4 Part 2, also known as DivX and Xvid encoding is compatible based on
the guidelines above. MPEG-4 Part 10, also known as H.264 encoding is not compatible.
Please play close attention to the encoding type when converting and obtaining files for the
