Auxiliary Video Module (AVM)

Auxiliary Video Module (AVM):

The AVM contains the VCP/AUX switch, volume control for the rear speakers, RCA-style audio/video input jacks, and a red/green status indicator. Press the switches lightly to extend them. The volume control on the AVM is used only to control audio from a video tape or an auxiliary video source from the rear speakers when video tape or other video source is used. Headphone volume is controlled only at the RSA or the second and third seat audio (SSA/TSA) controls.

The VCP/AUX switch allows you to select either the Video Cassette Player (VCP) or another auxiliary video source such as a video game, camcorder or similar device.

In order to listen to the video through the rear speakers, the in-dash radio system and the Rear Seat Audio (RSA) must be OFF.

Please note that the VCP/AUX switch is not an ON/OFF switch. The video device must be turned on/off at the device itself. Otherwise, the video source may continue to operate without indication. This could drain the battery.

Some auxiliary video devices may require household current (120V AC) to power them. In order to use the devices in your vehicle, you will need what is called a 12V DC-to-120V AC power invertor (not a power convertor). They are commonly available at larger specialty computer and electronic retail outlets. The invertor plugs into either the front or the rear accessory power outlet, and the video device plugs into the invertor. Refer to The Manufacturer's Instructions for proper usage.
