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.
Composite and Audio Wiring
Recommended cable for 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 –If noise is a problem, we recommend adding a 75
Ohm video isolation transformer to the composite source (such as Deerfield Laboratory,
Inc. PartNo.162-1, www.deerfieldlab.com, 650 632-4090). In most cases it should be
added to the video output near 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 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. The FD932DVD-LP-2-AV 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
to half 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
FD932DVD-LP-2 DVD player.
