Thank you for purchasing the HR8D Rear Seat Video Headrest System. Before operating this
system read this manual thoroughly and retain it for future reference.
CONGRATULATIONS
Patented, refer to www.voxxintl.com/company/patents
The Rear Seat Video Headrest System is
set-up and adjusted with easy to use menus
that are accessed using the remote control or
the buttons on the front panel.
The two-channel wireless Infrared (IR)
headphones have an A-B switch that allows
the users to select the audio from either M1
on “CH A” or M2 on ”CH B”.
The M1 monitor will only respond to the
remote control when the Monitor Select“M1”
button is pressed.
The M2 monitor will only respond to the
remote control when the Monitor Select“M2”
button is pressed.
The HR8D Rear Seat Video Headrest System
has two replacement video monitor
headrests referred to as either “M1” or “M2”
in this manual. The system allows the users
to watch the same DVD/Video Source on
both monitors simultaneously or individual
DVD/Video sources on either monitor.
The full function wireless remote control
operates either monitor by selecting the
Monitor Select “M1” or “M2” button.
Each headrest has an 8” LCD monitor with a
built-in DVD player that allows the user
to select from several sources (DVD/
USB, HDMI®/MHL®, M1/M2, A/V-IN
and GAME*). Each monitor has a built-
in infrared audio transmitter channel.
* GAME Optional
Safety Precaution
For safety reasons, when changing a video
disc, it is recommended that the vehicle
not be in motion, and that you do not allow
children to unfasten safety belts to change a
disc or make any adjustments to the system.
System adjustments can be accomplished
using the remote control, while safety belts
remain fastened. Enjoy your entertainment
system but remember that the safety of all
passengers remains the number one priority.
CAUTION
Always run the vehicle’s engine while using
the HR8D Rear Seat Video Headrest System.
Using this system without running the
engine can result in battery drainage. To
avoid the risk of battery drainage, please
remember to turn system OFF when the
vehicle is not in use for long periods of time.
Important Notice
An LCD Panel and/or Video Monitor may be
installed in a motor vehicle and visible to the
driver if the LCD Panel or Video Monitor is
used for vehicle information, system control,
rear or side observation or navigation. If
the LCD Panel or Video Monitor is used for
television reception, video or DVD play,
the LCD Panel or Video Monitor must be
installed so that these features will only
function when the vehicle is in “park” or
when the vehicle’s parking brake is applied.
An LCD Panel or Video Monitor used for
television reception, video or DVD play that
operates when the vehicle is in gear or when
the parking brake is not applied must be
installed to the rear of the driver’s seat where
it will not be visible, directly or indirectly, by
the operator of the motor vehicle.

• DVD-Video: DVD containing video.
• CD-DA: CD containing musical or sound
content only.
• CD-Video: CD contains video only.
• CD-R/RW: CD contains audio les (for
example, a CD-R with downloaded MP3
les), MPEG, or JPEG les.

NOTE: Some discs may start at the root
menu, where play must be selected to start
movie.
NOTES on Discs
• Do not touch the disc surface. Handle the
disc by the edge.
• It is important that discs are clean prior to
use.
• If disc is not clean, use a commercially
available cleaning cloth to gently wipe
the disc from the center out. (Figure 1)
NOTE: Do not use solvents such as
benzene, thinner, cleaners, or antistatic
spray intended for analog discs.
• Keep discs protected in their cases or
disc magazines when not in use. Do not
subject discs to heat or high temperature.
Avoid leaving discs in a parked vehicle or
on a dashboard or rear tray.
• Do not use discs that have aftermarket
paper or plastic labels or stickers attached.
The following malfunctions may result
from using such discs:
• Inability to eject a disc (due to a label
or sticker peeling o and jamming the
eject mechanism).
• Inability to read audio data correctly
(i.e. playback skipping, or no playback)
due to heat shrinking of a sticker or
label causing a disc to warp.
• Use only standard, round discs. If you
insert irregular, non-round, shaped discs
they may jam in the DVD player or not play
properly.
