Owner???s Manual

GENERAL INSTALLATION APPROACH:

1.Decide upon system configuration and options that will be installed (i.e.: what components, VCP, DVD, TV Tuner, Video Game, Monitors, etc.).

2.Review all manuals to become familiar with electri- cal requirements and hook ups.

3.Decide upon mounting locations of all components and method of mounting.

4.Prep the vehicle by removing any interior trim nec- essary to gain access to vehicle???s wiring as well as all areas where interconnecting wire harnesses will need to be located. If any access holes need to be cut into the vehicle (headliner, other trim components etc.), this should be done now as well.

5.Route the wiring harnesses throughout the vehicle as necessary. (Refer to the Wiring Diagram Sheet attached as well as the wiring instructions for the individual components and accessory options be- ing installed). Be sure that all wiring is protected from sharp edges and is routed in such a manner that it will not be pinched when all components and interior trim are fully installed. Be sure to leave enough slack in the wiring at each component to allow working room.

6.Remove all A/V system components from their packaging and place them loosely in the vehicle at their respective locations.

7.Connect all components together (electrically) and verify proper operation of all system functions.

Note: This is best done BEFORE components have been permanently mounted.

8. After verifying proper operation of the system,

proceed to mount each component.

9.When all components are mounted recheck the entire system to be sure it is functioning correctly and ensure that no wiring was pinched or connected improperly during final installation. Use the supplied cable clamps on the control station interconnect.

VEHICLE PREPARATION

1.Locate a constant power source (+12 Vdc at all times) and an accessory power source (+12Vdc present when the ignition key is in the accessory and run positions. 0Vdc should be present when the ignition key is in the OFF position). Generally, these wires can be found at the ignition switch or fusebox. (NOTE: Ensure that the constant and accessary power are fused at their sources. Failure to do so may result in vehicle wiring damage.) Ground the Black wire to a chassis ground close to the mounting location of the SDB box.

2.The mounting method and location will vary from vehicle to vehicle, so this manual will only focus for the installation of SDB45 A/V Signal Distribution System in the package.

3.Generally, the best locations for SDB45 System components are:

Note: A template is included at the back of this manual for mounting the control station.

1.Audio Output L/R (RCA Jacks)

OPERATING THE SDB45 SYSTEM

(Without the Master Control Station)

Control Stations:

A.Turning the SDB45 On and Off:

1.Turn the ignition key to the ON position.

2.Press the Main Power on the Control Station (The Power symbol will light up bright red and

the volume up/down buttons and the Select button will illuminate). (Note: Some LCD screens such as the LCM0505, 0565, 4000 and 5000 require that the power button on the screen be turned on in order to view program material after the Main Power button on the control station is pressed).

3.Select the source you wish to view by pressing the ???S??? button on the control station. (Note: Pressing and holding the ???S??? button for more than six seconds will pass infrared control of the sources to the control station. The source LED will start blinking to indicate that that con- trol station has control. A remote control can then be used to control that video source when it is pointed at the control station.
