stains, please dampen the cloth with water only. Anything else has the
chance of dissolving the paint or damaging the plastic.
Temperature
Be sure the temperature inside the vehicle is between +45°C (+113°F)
WARNING
This symbol means important
instructions. Failure to heed them
can result in serious injury or death.
Precautions and 0°C (+32°F) before turning your unit on.
Moisture Condensation
You may notice the disc playback sound wavering due to
condensation. If this happens, remove the disc from the player and
wait about an hour for the moisture to evaporate.
Damaged Disc
Do not attempt to play cracked, warped, or damaged discs. Playing a
bad disc could severely damage the playback mechanism.
Maintenance
If you have problems, do not attempt to repair the unit yourself.
Return it to your VMS dealer.
Never Attempt the Following
Do not grip or pull out the disc while it is being pulled back into the
player by the automatic reloading mechanism.
Do not attempt to insert a disc into the unit when the unit power is off.
Inserting Discs
Your player accepts only one disc at a time for playback. Do not
attempt to load more than one disc.
Make sure the label side is facing up when you insert the disc.
Your player will automatically eject any disc that is inserted incorrectly.
If the player continues to eject a correctly inserted disc, push the
Power button.
Playing a disc while driving on a very bumpy road may result in skips,
but this will not scratch the disc or damage the player.
Irregular Shaped Discs
Be sure to use round shaped discs only for this unit and never use
any special shaped discs. Use of special shaped discs may cause
damage to the mechanism.
New Discs
As a protective measure to prevent the Disc from jamming, the DVD
player will automatically eject discs with irregular surfaces or inserted
incorrectly. When a new disc is inserted into the player and ejected
after initial loading, using your finger, feel around the inside of the
centre hole and outside edge of the disc. If you feel any small bumps
or irregularities, this could inhibit proper loading of the disc. To remove
the bumps, rub the inside edge of the hole and outside edge of the
disc with a ball-point pen or other such instrument, then insert the disc
again.

Correct Handling
Do not drop the disc while handling. Hold the disc so you will not leave
fingerprints on the surface. Do not affix tape, paper, or gummed labels to
the disc. Do not write on the disc.
Disc Cleaning
Fingerprints, dust, or soil on the surface of the disc could cause the DVD
player to skip. For routine cleaning, wipe the playing surface with a
clean, soft cloth from the centre of the disc to the outer edge. If the
surface is heavily soiled, dampen a clean, soft cloth in a solution of mild
neutral detergent before cleaning the disc.

Installation
Please note: photos used to illustrate the following steps for demmon-
stration purposes. The vehicle used is a TOYOTA PRADO 120 series.
Other vehicles may differ. Please contact your local VMS authorised
dealer for professional installation.
STEP 1: Remove original radio.
Start by removing necessary dash trims. As the trims are removed, it will
allow the original radio to be removed by unfastening the original
mounting bolts. Please keep all trim pieces, bolts & accessories in one
place. If you are unfamiliar with which positions the screws came from, it
is wise to label them.
Step 2: Remove radio from original brackets.
In most vehicles, the original radio is bolted to the original brackets by 4
bolts on either side. Remove these bolts to separate the OE radio from its
mounting bracket.
Step 3: Install A.V.N.C onto original factory radio bracket
Install the A.V.N.C on to the original factory bracket using the mounting
screws provided in the package. Do not use screws that are not supplied
with the unit as this may damage internal components on the A.V.N.C.
Step 4: Position GPS Antenna & TV Antenna
Now is a good time to position both the GPS antenna & TV antenna. In
most vehicles, the door trim seal can be removed and the wires can be
hidden behind the trim. The TV antenna must be mounted on a bull bar,
Z bracket or roof using either the magnetic base or screw & bolt. Find a
suitable grommet to feed the antenna through the fire wall. Ensure all
connections are tight to maintain maximum contact & signal strength.
TV Antenna
Place the GPS antenna in the corner of the dash on the driver’s side A
pillar. Run the wiring under the dash trim. If the wires are run across the
top of pedals, be sure to use cable tires to secure wires so they do not
interfere with pedels.
Step 5: Wiring the A.V.N.C.
VMS offer a range of wiring looms to suit specific vehicles and is made
to be compatible with the original radio harness. If this part is available
for your vehicle, please utilise the integration kit. Plug the VMS factory
integration loom into the A.V.N.C, then plug the other end into the
factory wiring harness. Plug the GPS antenna, Digital TV, iPod lead &
Radio Antenna into the A.V.N.C. (VMS also provides radio antenna
adaptors for antenna configurations not compatible with the A.V.N.C) On
the factory integration loom, there will be few loose wires labeled,
- REVERSE (Brown)
- AMP CONTROL (White)
- BRAKE (Grey)
- REVERSE wire is used when a reversing camera is fitted. This line
needs a 12V+ signal which can be tapped off the reversing light. The
purpose of this wire is to let the A.V.N.C know when the car is in reverse
gear so that the screen can automatically change to reverse mode.
- BRAKE wire is used to control the play back of DVDs. This should be
connected to your vehicle’s handbrake (GND). Consult an auto
electrician if you cannot find the ground to your handbrake.
- AMP CTL is used to trigger an external amplifier. This is a +12V line.
Step 6: Check for operational status
When all wires have been connected, turn your key to the ACC/ON
position and turn on the A.V.N.C by pressing the SRC button. The
A.V.N.C should start with a VMS logo and then display the main menu.
Make sure the vehicle is outdoor and in an open area, start GPS
navigation by pressing the “GPS” button. Wait for the GPS console to
load & then press “Street Navigation” Wait for a few minutes and the
GPS should lock on to satellites and display your position. If not, check
your GPS antenna is connected properly. Go to the radio menu by
pressing the radio button on the main menu. Automatically scan for both
AM & FM stations. The A.V.N.C will automatically pick up radio station
and put them into it’s memory. If there is no reception, check if the
antenna is plugged in and contact is solid. Ensure your radio aerial is
fully extended.
Step 7: Completing Installation
Turn the key to OFF position and remove. Secure the A.V.N.C into the
dash. Ensure that none of the wires at the rear of the A.V.N.C are
crimped when installing the unit. Replace all trim pieces.
