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 necessary 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.
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 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.

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.
