Installation Instructions
All cabin entertainment equipment, such as the FD932DVD-4B, should be
installed on a non-essential bus and have a dedicated circuit breaker. It is a
requirement 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-4B requires 28VDC rated at a minimum of 1 Amp to
function. The FD932DVD-4B (12V) requires 12VDC rated at a minimum of 1
Amp. On the FD932DVD-4B, the yellow wire should be connected to A/C
power, and the black wire should be connected to A/C ground. On the
FD932DVD-4B (12V), the red and yellow wires should be connected to A/C
power, and the black wire should be connected to A/C ground; the blue wire,
if applicable, is not connected. A four-pin molex connector is provided for
this connection on both units.

External Input
In order to use the external input, the FD932DVD must be wired for
Composite Video.
Video Wiring Suggestions
All shields should be grounded to the connector at the source, and floating at
the display.
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 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.
Power and Ground Wiring
22 AWG wire is recommended for Power and Ground applications.

Remote Eye
The FD932DVD-4B has an available remote IR sensor (“remote eye”) that
can be used to accept remote signals in addition to the main unit. For
instance, the remote eye can be mounted by a monitor, to allow both the
monitor and the DVD player to be controlled by pointing the remote at the
same spot.
The remote eye measures 1.25” (35mm) x 0.75” (19mm) x 0.625” (16mm),
and can be extended 10 feet from the FD932DVD-4B.

Operation Instructions
To power the unit up, press the power button. The unit will light up and
display a Flight Display Systems 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. Use the volume
buttons, located on the left side of the unit, to adjust the volume to your
preferred level. The FD932DVD-4B will remember its volume setting when
powered down.
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.
External Inputs
In order to use the inputs on the front of the unit, use the Mode button on the
front panel or remote to select [Line] on the display. The external input will
only output to composite, not S-Video.
Sleep Mode
By default, the FD932DVD-4B is programmed to go into a Screen Saver
mode after a period of inactivity. If the unit is left inactive for 30 minutes, the
FD932DVD-4B will go into “Sleep Mode” which can be identified by a lack of
LED display (the buttons will still be lit. To exit Sleep Mode, simply power
down and re-apply power to the unit.
Note: During Sleep Mode, discs cannot be inserted.
To disable the Screen Saver and Sleep Mode:
1. On the remote, press SETUP.
2. On the General Setup Page, press the DOWN ARROW to highlight
Screen Saver.
3. Press the RIGHT ARROW to highlight On and then use the DOWN
ARROW to switch to Off.
4. Press ENTER to save the selection, and then SETUP to exit the
menu.

Troubleshooting
Video Noise
Check for an incorrect ground in the installation wiring. See specific
examples of video noise below, or visit http://flightdisplay.com/Grounding.pdf
Snow or Sweeping Lines
Lines that slowly sweep up and down are a result of AC noise. This AC noise
can be generated by a power cart on the aircraft. Take the power cart off of
the aircraft. Be careful of inverter wiring, which can also cause noise. Stand
off the wires, if necessary.
If snow or sweeping lines persist, it is possible that the ground is at an
incorrect point in the aircraft. Try moving the ground to another location.
Remote Control Inoperable
•Confirm that the infrared eye on the unit, or the external IR sensor (if
applicable), is visible.
•Replace battery in remote control.
Will Not Physically Accept Discs
The FD932DVD-4B may be in Sleep Mode, which prevents discs from being
inserted. This is normal behaviour and can be disabled, if desired. See page
5 for more information on Sleep Mode.
