Television reception in a movingvehicle will be limited and in some areas will not be possible due to weak and variable signal strength. Television viewing in a stationaryvehicle will result in an improvement, but may still be marginal due to signal strength. The quality of the picture will not be consistent withhome TV reception. Reception may be affected by weather and distance from TV station. A weak signal may cause the picture to roll, besnowy, or cause some color loss.

-15-Remote Sensor EyeRemote Sensor EyeRemote SensorThe VOH8512 incorporates two Infrared sensors which relay signals fromthe remote control to allow the unit to be controlled simply by pointing itsremote control at the remote sensor eye. The repeater function allowscontrol of auxiliary equipment such as an Audiovox DVD Player or VideoCassette Player. The infrared sensor can relay signals from mostmanufacturer’s remote controls to its respective component connected tothe AV input. In this case you must use the remote control supplied withthe component.AccessoriesWireless HeadphonesThe VOH8512 includes a built-in infrared transmitter for use with Audiovox wireless headphones (Part Number MVIRHS). Thevolume can then be adjusted using the controls on each headset. Any number of wireless headphones may be used but they mustbe used within a line of sight from the transmitter, as infrared transmissions, like visible light travel only in a straight line. See thedocumentation accompanying your Audiovox wireless headphones.
-16-Wireless FM ModulatorThe VOH8512 is equipped with buit-in wireless FM Modulator*, that allows you to listen to the VOH8512 audio signal by tuning yourvehicle’s radio to the selected frequency, (88.3, 88.7, 89.1, 89.5, 89.9MHz). This feature is accessed by using either the FM transmitterbuttons on the remote (ON/OFF, Channel Select) or the FM Select button on the unit. Whenever the FM modulator is on, broadcastreception on the vehicles radio will be poor. Switching off the FM modulator will allow normal radio reception.*NOTE: In certain areas where there are a large number of FM radio stations (e.g. large cities, urban areas), the reception of the FMsignal from the overhead pod may not be satisfactory, resulting in static, distorted sound or signal bleed thru from strong local radiostations. This is not a defect in the product, but the result of a stronger local radio station overpowering the wireless FM transmitter inyour overhead pod.If wireless reception is unsatisfactory, an optional wired relay box (Audiovox P/N SIRSWB) can be installed which will improve audioquality. Please contact the installer if this is the case with your product.AV1/AV2 InputThe AV1/AV2 video input may be connected to a DVD Player, video game system, or other audio / video devices. To access the A/V inputs, turn the VOH8512 on and press the source button on the VOH8512 or the Source button on the remote control until “AV1”or “AV2” is displayed on the screen. Turn the video source component on with its power button or remote control. The VOH8512 isnow ready to play the audio and video signals from the source connected to AV1/AV2 input. The AV1/AV2 input requires a 8010730cable.AUX A/V InputThe VOH8512 will accept an audio/video signal input through the AUX jacks located on the side of the unit. The audio/video devicecould be a video game system, video camera, or other input device (use the supplied AV adaptor cable).Video OutThe VOH8512 provides a video output for an optional video monitor(s). This output will provide a video signal that duplicates thesignal displayed by the VOH8512 to an additional monitor or video display. Please see your installer for more inofrmation.
