5VM9512INSTALLATIONPre-installation1. Press the metal levers on both sides to remove the half-sleeve from the radio.2. Install the half-sleeve.a. Install adapter if necessary (optional).b. Install half-sleeve into adapter or dashboard (use only the supplied screws). Do not force the sleeve into the opening or cause it to bend or bow.c. Locate the series of bend-tabs along the top, bottom and sides of the mounting sleeve. With the sleeve fully inserted into the dashboard opening, bend as many of the tabs outward as necessary so that the sleeve is firmly secured to the dashboard.d. Install support strap to make the unit more stable.CAUTION! Be careful not to damage the car wiring.3. Place the radio in front of the dashboard opening so the wiring can be brought through the mounting sleeve.WiringComplete wiring as illustrated in the wiring diagram on page 3. Once the wiring is complete, reconnect the battery negative terminal. If there is no ACC available, connect the ACC lead to the power supply with a switch.NOTE: When replacing a fuse, be sure to use correct type and amperage to avoid damaging the radio. The VM9512 uses one 10 amp mini-ATM fuse, located in the black filter box in-line with the main wire harness.Final InstallationAfter completing the wiring connections, turn the unit on to confirm operation (ignition switch must be on). If unit does not operate, recheck all wiring until problem is corrected. Once proper operation is achieved, turn off the ignition switch and proceed with final mounting of the chassis.1. Connect wiring adapter to existing wiring harness.2. Connect antenna lead.3. Carefully slide the radio into the half-sleeve, making sure it is right-side-up, until it is fully seated and the spring clips lock it into place.NOTE: For proper operation of the CD/DVD player, the chassis must be mounted within 20° of horizontal. Make sure the unit is mounted within this limitation. 4. Attach one end of the perforated support strap (supplied) to the screw stud on the rear of the chassis using the hex nut provided. Fasten the other end of the perforated strap to a secure part of the dashboard either above or below the radio using the screw and hex nut provided. Bend the strap to position it as necessary. CAUTION! The rear of the radio must be supported with the strap to prevent damage to the dashboard from the weight of the radio or improper operation due to vibration.5. Replace any items you removed from the dashboard.Final ISO-DIN Installation1. Remove trim ring.2. Mount factory brackets on new radio using existing screws from old radio.3. Slide radio chassis into dash opening and secure.4.

29VM9512MP3/WMA OPERATIONInstructions for TFT control and Insert/Eject are the same for DVD and MP3 operation. Please see the DVD/Disc Video Operation section for information about these topics.MP3/WMA Media and File RequirementsThis player allows you to play back MP3 and WMA files recorded onto CD-R/RWs, DVD+R/RWs, and DVD-R/RWs. For CD-RW discs, please make sure it is formatted using the full method and not the quick method to prevent illegal disc operation.Up to 1500 songs/files can be burned onto a disc for a MEGA DVD music mix. Do not exceed this number of songs/files or disc readability problems may occur.MP3 Format CompatibilityThe file naming formats listed below are compatible with this unit:• ISO 9660 – file name: 12 characters, file extension: 3 characters• ISO 9660 – file name: 31 characters, file extension: 3 characters• Joliet – 64 charactersIf the file or folder name does not conform to ISO 9660 file system standards, it may not be displayed or played back correctly. Use the following settings when compressing audio data for your MP3 disc:• Transfer Bit Rate: 128kbps• Sampling Frequency: 48kHzWhen recording MP3 up to the maximum disc capacity, disable additional writing. For recording on an empty disc up to maximum disc capacity, use the "Disc at once" setting.MP3 Playing OrderWhen selected for play, files and folders (Folder Search, File Search or Folder Select) are accessed in the order they were written by the CD writer. As a result, the order in which they are expected to be played may not match the order in which they are actually played. You may be able to set the order in which MP3/WMA files are to be played by writing them onto a medium such as a CD-R with their file names beginning with play sequence numbers such as "01" to "99".For example, a medium with the following folder/file hierarchy is subject to Folder Search, File Search or Folder Select, as shown below.The VM9512 player will only recognize three folder levels and does not display folders containing only other folders. In the example above, the unit will display folders 3, 4, 6, and 8, but not 2 and 7 since they do not contain any tracks directly. Folder 5 is not recognized at all since it is at the fourth level.Loading an SD CardInsert the SD card into the SD slot (21) on the front of the radio. The unit will read the audio media files on the card automatically.To remove the card, first press the SRC button (6) to switch to another mode and stop SD playback. Pull the SD card out to remove it.Loading a USB Device1. Locate the USB jack located on the MediaLink4.2. Insert the USB device into the USB jack. The unit will read the audio media files on the USB device automatically.To remove the USB device, press the SRC button (6) to switch to another mode and then remove the USB device from the USB jack.sAudioEnterPresBAND ASDISPOPENVM9512sAudioEnterPresBAND ASDISPOPENVM9512VIDEO LEFT RIGHT3.5mm - AudioMediaLinkUSB JACK

32VM9512BLUETOOTH OPERATIONAbout BluetoothBluetooth is a short-range wireless radio connectivity technology that is developed as a cable replacement for mobile phones, handheld PCs and other devices. Bluetooth operates in 2.4 GHz frequency range and transmits voice and data at speeds up to 1 megabit per second. Bluetooth was launched by a special interest group (SIG) comprised of Ericsson Inc., Intel Corp., Nokia Corp., Toshiba and IBM in 1998, and it is currently developed by nearly 2,000 companies worldwide. The Bluetooth word mark and logos are owned by the Bluetooth SIG, Inc. and any use of such marks by Audiovox Corporation is under license. Other trademarks and trade names are those of their respective owners.NOTE: The line-of-sight distance between this unit and your cellular phone must be 8 meters or less for sending and receiving voice and data via Bluetooth wireless technology. However, the transmission distance may become shorter than the estimated distance, depending on the environment in use. Before attempting to use the Bluetooth functions on the VM9512, please make sure your mobile phone supports Bluetooth functions (Headset or Handsfree profiles or both). Adhere to the following guidelines for successful operation.• Before using Bluetooth functions, you must pair your mobile phone to the VM9512 head unit (see “Pairing the Bluetooth System with Your Mobile Phone and Head Unit”). To ensure the best reception for pairing and reconnection, please make sure the phone battery is fully charged before you begin.• Try to perform pairing within a few minutes of the phone being turned on.• Once the unit has been paired with the phone, the unit’s model number, “VM9512”, will be displayed on the mobile phone.• To achieve the best performance, always keep the mobile phone within 3 meters of the head unit.• Always keep a clear path between the mobile phone and the head unit. Never place a metal object or any other obstacle between the mobile phone and the head unit.• Some mobile phones (like Sony Ericsson) may have a "Power Saving Mode" option. PLEASE DO NOT use the power saving mode with the VM9512.• Before accepting or making a call, make sure your mobile phone's “Bluetooth function” is turned on.• To ensure the best conversation quality/performance, stay within one meter of the head unit when talking. • To “disconnect” the mobile phone from the head unit, turn the Bluetooth connectivity off on the mobile phone.•Phone Book direct searching through the head unit is only available if the mobile phone supports Phone Book Download. If the feature is not supported, the head unit will display “Phone book not provided by this phone” when an attempt is made to download a phone book.
