Installation Instructions
All cabin entertainment equipment, such as the FD932DVD-LP, 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-LP requires 28VDC rated at a minimum of 0.5 Amps to function.

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.
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 - we recommend adding to the composite source a
75Ohmvideo isolation transformer such as Deerfield Laboratory, Inc. PartNo.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 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-LP 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.

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
