Accessories and Source Features

Wireless Headphones: The VOD715 includes a built-in infrared transmitter for use with Audiovox wireless headphones (Part Number IR2CHS-Dual Channel). The volume can then be adjusted using the controls on each headset. The wireless headphones must be used within a line of sight from the transmitter, as infrared transmissions, like visible light travel only in a straight line. See the documentation accompanying your Audiovox wireless headphones.

IR2 Input: Any line level audio source may be connected to this input (Satellite Radio, CD Changer, etc.) The audio program connected to the IR2 Input can be received on the B Channel of the dual channel wireless headphones (Part Number IR2CHS).

Headset Special Features:

• Automatic Level Control prevents input signal over loading.
• Uses high frequency infrared light to assure a clean signal for clear reception.

Wired Headphones: There are two 1/8” headphone jacks on the VOD715 that can be used with any standard wired stereo headphones. These jacks are controlled by the volume up / down buttons on the VOD715 remote control.

Wired FM Modulator: The VOD715 is equipped with an RF modulator, that allows you to listen to the VOD715 audio signal by tuning your vehicle’s radio to the selected frequency, (88.3, 88.7, 89.1, 89.5, 89.9, 90.3MHz). This feature is accessed by using either the FM transmitter buttons on the remote (On/Off, Source Select, Channel Select) or the FM Select button on the unit. Whenever the RF modulator is on, broadcast reception on the vehicles radio will be poor. Switching off the FM modulator will allow normal radio reception.

AUX A/V Input: The VOD715 will accept an audio/video input through the RCA jacks located on the side of the unit. The audio / video device could be a video game system, video camera, or other input device.

Video Out: The VOD715 provides a video output for an optional video monitor(s). (Refer to page 6 of the Installation Guide for more details.) This output will provide a video signal that duplicates the signal displayed by the VOD715 to an additional monitor or video display. Please see your installer for more information.
