INTRODUCTION
The Rosen ClearVue Ultra system installed in your vehicle has been
chosen to give the occupants a more enjoyable journey.
Ensure that you and your passengers take time to read these
instructions.
Portable radios and telephones
When using portable radios and telephones near the unit, picture or
sound interference may occur. Do not use these devices near this unit.
SWITCHING ON
Use the Ultra system when your vehicle is running or the ignition switch
is in the “accessory” position.
Note: It is not advisable to use the Ultra system for long periods without
the engine running in order to avoid a dead battery.
IMPORTANT
•If temperature limits are exceeded, the Ultra system automatically
shuts down and ejects the disc. When the temperature inside the
vehicle returns to normal, power on the Ultra system by pressing
POWER on the remote control or opening and closing the monitor.
DISPLAY
Unlike conventional TV screens, the Ultra system monitors are Liquid
Crystal Display (LCD) panels allowing for a compact, lightweight design.
Because of this, the following should be observed:
•Do not press on the monitor unit; this can distort the picture or
damage the LCD panel.
•Clean the LCD panel with a slightly damp, soft cloth using a mild
household detergent.
•Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially availa-
ble cleaners or antistatic spray.
•Do not use this unit in temperatures under 0°C (32°F) or over 80°C
(176°F).
•If your car was parked in a cold or hot place, the picture may not be
clear. The monitor is not damaged.
The picture will become clear after the temperature in your car
returns to normal.

USING THE HEADPHONES
Using the headphones with your Ultra system allows rear-seat
passengers to listen to their DVD, CD, or video game without disturbing
front-seat passengers. When headphones are in use with the Ultra
system, front-seat passengers can use the vehicle’s audio system as
usual through the car speakers.
The Ultra system comes with wireless IR headphones that receive a
signal from the IR transmitter lens in the console.

To listen to DVD audio through your car speakers:
1Press SPEAKER on the remote control, or press the (SPEAKER)
button on the Ultra system console.

3Tune the car radio to the FM frequency 88.7; this is the default Ultra

at or near 88.7, have your Rosen dealer adjust the FM frequency used by
the Ultra system. The ClearVue Ultra can use either 88.7 or 89.1.
Switching the Car Speakers Between DVD and Radio
While your car radio is on, switch on and off DVD audio to the car
speakers by:
•pressing the (SPEAKER) button on the Ultra system console,
or
•pressing SPEAKER on the remote control.
Note: The radio in your vehicle will display “radio”—regardless of
whether the vehicle speakers are playing the radio or audio from the
Ultra system.

REPLACING THE REMOTE BATTERIES
Battery life is approximately six months depending on how often the
remote is used. Use two size AAA batteries. Replace both batteries at the
same time.
To avoid damage from battery leakage and subsequent corrosion:
•Insert the batteries matching the “+”and “-”on the batteries to the
“+”and “-”in the battery compartment.
•Do not use an old battery with a new one, or different brands of bat-
teries together.
•Remove the batteries when the unit is not being used for long peri-
ods of time.
•DO NOT charge the batteries.
If battery leakage occurs, replace all the batteries with new ones after
cleaning the battery compartment.
