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.

All cabin entertainment equipment, such as the FD932DVD-BLU-2 & 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

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.
Recommended cable for composite is PIC 75 Ohm Coax, P/N V75268 for HD-SDI output and
composite on FD932DVD-BLU-2 Ver HDSDI. This is a lightweight, flexible, and low signal loss
cable which meets FAA 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
75Ohmvideo 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 for Use with Single Ended Audio Inputs. (ie: 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.

MAN –FD932DVD-BLU-2 & FD932DVD-BLU-2 Ver HDSDI
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/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
22 AWG or larger wire is recommended for Power and Ground applications.
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.

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.
