1.3. Control Inputs
For Controller information, access www.rosenaviation.com.
Click on Accessories and select External Controllers. Scroll
through the list to find the desired product.
RS-485: Rosen DVD can be controlled with RS-485. For specifications see
Section 3, RS-485 Information.
RS-232: Rosen DVD can also be controlled with RS-232. For specifications please contact
Rosen Aviation technical support at 541.342.3802.
IR Remote: Rosen DVD can be controlled using one of several of Rosen Aviation’s pre-
programmed remote controls. Visit the Rosen Aviation website for details.
Cabin Briefing Pause: pauses the DVD player for briefings when the cabin briefing pause input
is enabled (low).
Optional Cabin Briefing Pause: The switched video output can be set to pause the
DVD player and automatically switch to auxiliary video input during cabin briefings. To
enable this feature, press the following button sequence (with no disc in the player):
1. ◄◄, ►►, Λ,V,◄◄, ►►, Λ, V, Λ, Λ, Λ
2. While watching the red DVD LED, press the ▲eject button one time.
a. If the DVD LED light blinks twice, then the optional feature is active.
b. If the DVD LED light blinks once, cabin brief / pause is in default mode.
Note: Enabling or disabling this feature can be done one time per button
sequence. To change the feature again, re-enter the button sequence.
Select Switch: Select switch is a momentary switch that can be used to switch between DVD
and auxiliary audio/video sources when an auxiliary source is connected. Pressing select switch
changes the source from DVD player to auxiliary source (or vice-versa).
1.4. Audio/Video Outputs
DVD Video Out: 1V peak-to-peak (p-p), 75 ohms
DVD Audio Out: 1V RMS (0db FS), 600 ohms
Auxiliary Video In: 1V p-p, 75 ohms
Auxiliary Audio Line In: 1V RMS nominal, 4.7k ohms; Max Input Voltage 5.8V p-p
Switched Video Out: 1V p-p, 75 ohms; unity gain from auxiliary video input
Switched Audio Out: Unity gain from auxiliary audio input is 600 ohms
Note: While there is an accepted standard of 1V p-p for video signals, the audio output
level from different devices can vary considerably. If there is a large difference in audio
level when switching between the DVD player and the auxiliary input, try adjusting the
audio output level of the auxiliary device. If there is no output adjustment and the audio
level from the auxiliary device is higher than the DVD player audio, then use a
potentiometer, step-down transformer, or resistors to attenuate the auxiliary audio level.
If the auxiliary audio level is lower than the DVD player audio, then install a line-level
amplifier or step-up transformer to boost the signal.

POWER LED: Green indicates the unit is powered up; amber indicates the unit is in
standby mode.
IR ACTIVE LED: Flashes to indicate that an infrared (IR) command has been received.
2.2. Multiple DVD Control Setup
Individual control for up to 8 Rosen DVD players is possible. Control options include IR, RS-485
and RS-232.
2.2.1. IR Control
Some Rosen IR remote controls have configuration files available which allow separate
control for several DVD players. Such controls require a unique network address for each
DVD player.
Rosen DVD players have 8 optional network addresses (0-7). The default network
address is 0. Complete the following to change the default network address.
1. Press the power button to turn on the Rosen DVD player and ensure that there is no
disc inserted.
2. Enter the following sequence to establish a new network address for the DVD player:
a. On the DVD player front panel buttons press the following button sequence.
◄◄, ►►, Λ,V,◄◄, ►►, Λ, V, Λ, Λ, Λ(must be done with no disc in player)
The network address is ready to be changed. It is set at its default of 0. Every time the ■
button is pressed the network address changes up 1 number. For example, if you press
the ■button one time it will change from 0 to 1. If you press the ■button three times the
network address will be 3. When the desired network address is reached, press the ►II
button to establish the new network number.
To reset the network address to 0, press the sequence of control buttons again to access
the network address change and then press ►II to exit.
3. RS-485 INFORMATION
This section defines the type, formats, and timing of serial message packets that can be
used to control Rosen Aviation equipment through a daisy-chained RS-485 serial
connection. All RS-485-enabled Rosen Aviation monitors and other Rosen Aviation
equipment will fully implement the applicable messages in this document. A maximum of
31 devices may be connected on a half-duplex network. Each device should be assigned
a unique address from 1 to 31. The method for assigning network addresses varies
depending on the specific Rosen Aviation product with which you are working.
The DVD player is set to address 20 by default.
Please note that Rosen Aviation equipment is not specifically designed to operate as part
of a network with other manufacturers equipment unless the other equipment meets the
requirements defined in this document.

3.2. Communication Protocol
z9600 baud
z8 data bits
z1 stop bit
zno parity
3.3. Packet Format
There are typically 3 bytes per message. The first byte is a header byte and the second identifies
the specific command. The third byte is the network address. A network address byte of 0 is
reserved as the “global” address, in other words all slave units should respond to that command.
3.4. Packet Timing
zWithin a message packet, there is a maximum time of 20mSec between bytes.
Messages with bytes sent more than 20mSec apart will not be recognized by the
receiving unit.
zThere should be a minimum elapsed time of 50mSec between any two message
packets. This allows the given processor sufficient time to process the previous
message.
zMessages sent less than 50mSec apart are not guaranteed to be processed by the
receiving unit.
3.5. Wiring
Rosen Aviation equipment uses a half-duplex wiring layout. Only two RS-485 wires need to be
run between each individual unit. On most products, the RS-485 wires have been internally
daisy-chained so that four external pins exist on the connector.

4. TROUBLESHOOTING
4.1. Disc Removal—Use of disc with paper label NOT recommended
Testing has shown that use of discs with paper labels may jam
and potentially be irretrievable from the DVD player.
Industry research indicates that use of discs with paper labels
may render discs unreadable.
Emergency Eject Feature: If a disc has become jammed in the player, shut off DVD power for
an hour, then turn it on and press the eject button. If the disc is still stuck, press and hold the
eject button for ten seconds and the eject motor will be forced on for 5 seconds.
If the emergency eject feature fails to eject the disk, contact Rosen Aviation Technical Support at
541.342.3802 and request the disc removal tool (P/N 100690) and instruction (P/N 100691) be
sent.
