there are no serviceable parts inside.  
With optional dual-channel wireless headphones, you can also listen  
to CD-Audio or MP3 audio while another user plays the built-in video  
game.  
Do not press on the display surface - you might damage it.  
Clean the LCD panel with a slightly damp, soft cloth using  
household glass cleaner. Do not use solvents such as benzene,  
Add an optional second display, and two users can simultaneously  
play video and listen to sound from two different source units. For  
instance, one user can watch and listen to a DVD while the other

DISCS PLAYED  
Compatible Discs  
Incompatible Discs  
The following disc types are incompatible with the system:  
DVD, Video CD (VCD), and CD-Audio discs discs are compatible with  
the A10 system. Compatible discs have these logos on their labels:  
·
·
·
·
·
·
·
DVD-ROM discs.  
DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD-RAM discs.  
Photo CD discs, including Kodak Picture CDs.  
CD-ROM data discs.  
CD-Audio discs made with certain copy protection methods.  
Any DVD with a different Region number than the unit.  
Any disc that does not meet DVD Forum standards.  
Also, the unit can play most CD-Recordable discs containing CD-  
Audio, MP3 files, and JPEG images - but not all such discs. Since  
these discs are usually made on home computers, there is no  
certification process ensuring that all such discs play on all players.  
Why the system doesn’t respond the same way to all discs  
DVD Regions  
When a DVD disc is created, the creator has to define how the disc  
will operate when loaded into a DVD player. For instance, some discs  
begin playing immediately, while other discs only display a menu and  
require a menu selection to be made before playback will start.  
When a DVD disc is created, it is encoded with a “Region number”.  
The disc will only play on DVD players with the same Region number  
- for instance, a Region 3 disc won’t play on a Region 1 player.  
Region 1: U.S. and U.S. Territories, Canada  
The DVD standard also allows the maker of a DVD disc to disable  
functions at certain times, such as Fast-Forward and Stop (which is  
why you can’t skip past the copyright warning screen). If some DVD  
feature temporarily isn’t working for you, usually the disc is prevent-  
ing the player from performing that function.  
Region 2: Japan, Western Europe, Middle East, South Africa  
Region 3: South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast and East Asia  
Region 4: New Zealand, Australia, Pacific Islands, Mexico, Central/  
South America.  
Region 5: Russia and the former Soviet Union, Africa, Indian subconti-  
nent, North Korea  
Discs that don’t properly load and play  
Region 6: China  
Region 8: Special International Venues (Cruise Ships, Airlines, etc.)  
Some CD and DVD discs, especially homemade discs which do not  
have all the data needed to properly initialize all DVD players, may not  
load and play properly. They may even create a state where the DVD  
player will not eject the disc at all. In these cases, use a paper clip to  
press the Reset button (this button’s location is shown on page 7).

Rosen G10 Owner’s Manual  
Note: The internal DVD player can be configured for either a  
16:9 “Wide” image output or a 4:3 standard image output.  
Since the unit has a widescreen display, the DVD player  
should be configured for “Wide”. For more, see Page 20.  
CHANGINGANDADJUSTING THE DISPLAY  
Selecting a display mode: The system’s “widescreen” display has  
a 16:9 aspect ratio - wider than a standard television. While many  
DVD’s provide widescreen video images that fit the screen, standard  
broadcast TV and many video games don’t.  
Note: The internal DVD player also has a set of video  
adjustments, which are seperate from the main adjustments.  
For more information, please see Page 23.  
To view widescreen DVD’s, press the DISPLAY MODE button  
until “WIDE” is displayed on the screen.  
To watch “fullscreen” DVD’s, the internal game system, or  
broadcast television, select “STANDARD”.  
USING THE BUILT-IN DOME LIGHTS  
The system has built-in dome lights. In many vehicles, these built-in  
dome lights replace an original factory dome light which was  
displaced when the system was installed. The dome lights are  
controlled by both the Dome Light button on the front panel and by the  
matching Dome Light button on the remote control.  
Display adjustments: The display has adjustable video settings. To  
change these settings, press the ENTER button on the overhead  
console and hold it for two seconds. The following menu appears:

To change the value of a setting: Use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow  
buttons. The range is from 0 to 15.  
Note: Some vehicles have a dome light dimming feature that  
causes the light to fade out gradually after the doors are  
closed. The unit’s dome light may not fade at the exact speed  
that the factory dome lights fade, but it will turn on and off  
normally when the doors are opened and closed.  
Press DOWN to return to the display adjustments menu.  
To exit the menu: Press the DOWN button to save settings and exit.  
Note: See Page 12 for more on adjusting the Bright setting.

USING THE REMOTE CONTROL  
You can use the remote control to operate the system, including  
access to features not available on the front panel. The unit has two  
infrared sensors to receive signals from the remote - one is built into  
the control panel, and the other faces forward in the vehicle, for use  
from the front seats. For definitions of each remote control button’s  
specific function, see the following pages.

USING THE INCLUDED WIRELESS HEADPHONES  
The system comes with two pair of wireless infrared (IR) head-  
phones. These headphones receive a signal from an IR transmitter  
built into the unit. These headphones allow rear-seat passengers to  
listen without using the vehicle speakers.  
When you insert an audio CD, “CD” will appear on the screen. The  
standard CD commands (PLAY, NEXT, etc.) will control the unit.To  
display track information, press INFO. Some CDs recorded in CD-R or  
CD-RW mode may not play.  
To turn the headphones on and off, push the Power ON/OFF button  
on the right ear piece. The Power LED on the left ear piece indicates  
when headphone power is on. Power turns off automatically after  
three minutes of no audio, in order to preserve battery life.  
MP3, JPEG, Video CD Playback  
When a disc containing MP3, JPEG, or Video CD files is inserted, the  
following screen appears. Use the arrow buttons to select a file type.

LISTENING OVER THE CAR SPEAKERS  
REPLACING HEADPHONE BATTERIES  
The system uses an FM Modulator (FMM) to send audio through the  
vehicle radio and speakers. To listen over your speakers:  
The wireless IR headphones require two AAA batteries. To replace  
the batteries, slide off the battery compartment door on the right  
earpiece and insert batteries, as shown. Make certain that the battery  
orientation matches the marks inside the battery compartment.  
1
Make sure system MUTE is off. Press SPEAKER. “SPEAKER  
SOUND ON FM _ _ . _” appears. (If “SPEAKER SOUND DIS-  
ABLED” appears, select an FM frequency as described below.)  
2
3
Turn on the car radio. Tune to the FM frequency displayed on the  
screen, such as “FM 87.7”.  
If no system audio is heard, try changing the FMM frequency and  
re-tuning the radio to the new frequency.  
To change the FM Modulator frequency:  
Press SPEAKER. “Speaker Sound on FM _ _ . _” will be displayed.  
Now use the Left and Right buttons to change the frequency. The  
FMM frequencies are 87.7, 87.9, 88.1, 88.3, 88.5, 88.7, 88.9,  
106.7, 106.9, 107.1, 107.3, 107.5, 107.7, and 107.9. After you  
select a frequency, re-tune your radio and check for clear sound.  
USING OPTIONAL WIRED HEADPHONES  
There is a jack for wired headphones on the forward edge of the  
unit, under a removable cover. When using optional wired head-  
phones, only use headphones with a volume control, since the  
system has no volume adjustment.  
The system saves the frequency you select, and returns to it each  
time the system is turned on. You may want to store the FM Modulator  
frequency as a preset of your radio for ease of use.  
Note: If there seems to be a strong station on the FM  
Modulator frequency, and you are hearing a radio station  
mixed in with the system audio, change the FM Modulator  
frequency. Avoid frequencies used by local radio stations.  
If the words “SPEAKER SOUND DISABLED appear, the Internal FMM is  
turned off. It can be turned on by pressing the left or right arrow keys  
and selecting an FM frequency. If the words “HEADPHONE SOUND  
ONLY” appear, an external FM Modulator is probably being used. In  
this case, the SPEAKER button turns the external FMM on and off.  
The Rosen external FMM is uses either FM 87.9 or FM 88.3. If you  
have any questions about your FMM, please ask your Rosen dealer.

USING THE INTEGRATED GAME SYSTEM  
ADJUSTING THE SCREEN ANGLE  
There is an integrated video game built into the system. The Rosen  
AC3131 Game Controller is included. Although the Controller may  
resemble controllers for home game systems, only the Rosen AC3131  
is certified to operate with the system.  
Rosen uses an advanced mechanical design to hold the screen at the  
perfect viewing angle for you, your passengers, and your vehicle.  
Here’s how to adjust the screen angle:

and to the right to move  
the screen rearward.  
Notes:  
The Controller works using infrared “line-of-sight” technology.  
If the controller is held so that there is not a clear line of sight  
to the system, intermittent operation results.  
Finally, let go of the screen and double-check the viewing angle.  
You may need to repeat this process a few times to get the angle  
just right for your height and the height of the vehicle seats.  
The Controller turns off after a brief period without use.

Rosen G10 Owner’s Manual  
WHY ARE THE BLACK BARS STILL THERE SOMETIMES?  
MANAGING BLACK BARS  
There are three possible reasons for black bars to appear on the top  
and bottom of the display:  
Motion picture film and cameras, and later  
television screens, were originally designed  
around a screen size that was almost square - it  
was one-third wider than it was high (another  
way to say this is that it had a width-to-height  
ratio, or aspect ratio, of 4:3. This ratio, 4:3, can  
also be expressed as 1.66:1.)  
4:3  
1) You are watching a widescreen movie with an aspect ratio  
greater than 1.85:1. (For more options on dealing with this, see  
below). Check the disc jewel box to determine the DVD’s aspect  
ratio - if you see 2.3:1, 2.33:1, or 2.35:1, this applies.  
1.66:1  
2) The internal DVD player has been set for a 4:3 display instead of a  
16:9, wide display. See DVD Setup on Page 23 to correct this.  
When widescreen movies using technologies  
like Cinemascope and Panavision became  
popular, new aspect ratios were used  
for them - 1.78:1, 2.35:1, and even 2.55:1.  
When high-definition television was  
developed, a screen shape of 16:9, or 1.85:1,  
was selected as the best compromise for  
viewing widescreen movie images.  
3) The “widescreen” DVD movie you are viewing is not “anamorphic”  
or “enhanced for widescreen televisions”. These films, often older  
DVD conversions, are not recommended for viewing on  
widescreen displays. You can usually determine if your DVD was  
produced for optimum compatibility with widescreen televisions by  
looking for the word “anamorphic” or the phrase “enhanced for  
widescreen televisions” on the box.  
16:9  
1.85:1  
When you watch widescreen movies on a  
standard 4:3 television, there are “black bars”  
on the top and bottom of the screen. This is  
often called a “letterbox” image. The alternative  
is called “pan-and-scan”, where the edges of  
the image are “cropped” off.  
WHAT CAN I DO?  
First, Rosen recommends that for best results you use DVD’s that  
say “anamorphic” or “enhanced for widescreen televisions” on the  
box. However, this system can get rid of black bars with just about  
any DVD, by following the steps on the next page.  
Letterbox  
Note: To watch “fullscreen” DVD’s or broadcast television  
(using an optional TV tuner), you can use the DISPLAY MODE  
button to select “STANDARD”. This will properly size the  
image, instead of stretching the image across the wide  
screen. In “STANDARD” mode, you will see black bars on the  
sides of the image.  
This system uses a widescreen 16:9, or 1.85:1  
display - the same aspect ratio as high-  
definition televisions. This means that when  
viewing widescreen DVD’s, these black bars  
are either non-existent, or greatly minimized.

Eliminating Black Bars when viewing a DVD:  
INTEGRATING THE UNIT WITH FACTORY IR WIRE-  
LESS HEADPHONE SYSTEMS  
Some new vehicles have infrared wireless headphone systems built  
in which allow rear-seat passengers to listen to the vehicle’s audio  
system without playing the audio over the speakers.  
1) Make sure that the internal DVD player is set to “WIDE”  
(see DVD Setup, page 23).  
Many of these systems operate on the same IR wavelength as the  
wireless IR headphones used by video entertainment systems, and in  
these cases interference between the two systems can result. The  
system is compatible with these factory IR-headphone systems.  
2) Use the Display Mode button to select “Wide” or “Zoom”.  
To view widescreen DVD’s, use “Wide”.  
To zoom the picture, use the “Zoom” mode.  
The system has a two-channel infrared headphone transmitter - that  
is, it uses two IR “channels” - Channel A and Channel B, and can  
transmit different audio programs on these two channels at the same  
time. Standard wireless headphones, as well as factory IR head-  
phone systems, typically operate only on Channel A. Optional Rosen  
AC3007 Dual-Channel Headphones are required to receive Channel B  
- they switch between Channels A and B at the touch of a button.  
They are available from your Rosen authorized dealer.  
Note: This feature will slightly “crop” the edges of the image.  
For best results when zooming in on DVD images, use the Disc  
Zoom feature below - not the “Zoom” Display Mode.  
If this solution still isn’t satisfactory, go to step 3.  
3) Use the Disc Zoom feature to completely fill the screen.  
Again, the edges will be “cropped”, but the screen will be filled.  
Your Rosen Authorized dealer can configure the unit to operate on  
Channel B only, thus preventing interference with most factory  
wireless headphone systems. This lets you use Channel A of your  
optional AC3007 headphones for listening to the factory audio  
system, and Channel B for listening to the DVD entertainment system.  
Press the DISC ZOOM button during playback to select among the  
available options. You can then use the arrow buttons to shift the  
magnified image left and right.  
Note: Best results are obtained by connecting only  
widescreen displays to the system. The DVD player can  
provide either widescreen video or standard, non-widescreen  
video - it cannot provide widescreen video for one screen and  
standard video for other screens. Your Rosen authorized  
dealer offers a selection of high-quality widescreen  
automotive displays.  
Note: When the system is configured for factory-IR compat-  
ibility, the dual-zone functions described on Page 22 are not  
available.

FAQ’S  
THE DOME LIGHT WENT OUT - WHY?  
I HAVE NO PICTURE AND NO SOUND - WHAT’S WRONG?  
The dome light has a 5-minute timer to prevent accidental battery drain.  
The system has low- and high-voltage and temperature protection  
circuits. If the voltage or temperature goes beyond the limits, the  
system shuts off. The power wire or power harness may have been  
disconnected, or the fuse may have failed. Contact your Rosen  
authorized dealer to determine if this is the case.  
I HAVE BLACK BARS ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF MY SCREEN  
WITH A WIDESCREEN DVD - HOW DO I GET RID OF THEM?  
See page 20.  
WITH THE AC3072 DUAL-CHANNEL HEADPHONES, CHANNEL A  
AND CHANNEL B HAVE THE SAMEAUDIO. HOW DO I CHANGE  
WHAT I HEAR ON CHANNEL B?  
Note: The system voltage range is 11-16VDC operating  
voltage. The system operating temperature is 0o to 60o  
Celsius. Use of the system beyond the safe operating ranges  
listed can cause temporary or permanent damage to the unit -  
such damage may not be covered by manufacturer’s warranty.  
Press OUTPUT B and then press SOURCE to change Output B’s  
assigned source. See page 22 for more information on dual-zone use.  
WHY DOESN’T THE STOP/EJECT BUTTON EJECT THE DISC RIGHT  
AWAY?  
I HAVE APICTURE, BUT NO SOUND OR DISTORTED SOUND. WHY?  
Check the MUTE button. Check the volume on the radio, and make  
sure the radio is tuned to the right frequency - try tuning the FMM and  
the radio to a new frequency. Check that the headphones have a  
direct “line of sight” to the infrared transmitter below the screen.  
Replace headphone batteries, if needed. Check the DVD Setup Menu  
- the Audio Output setting must be set to “ANALOG”, the Speaker  
Downmix setting to “STEREO”, and the Dynamic Range to “FULL”. If  
using a CD you have made yourself, make sure you did not set the  
recording level too high. Make sure you to check both CH A and CH B  
if you are using AC3072 two-channel headphones.  
While a disc is playing, this button acts as a STOP button. To eject a  
disc while it is playing, press the STOP/EJECT button twice, with the  
presses about 1 second apart. The Eject button on the remote control  
always ejects the disc immediately.  
THE DISC WILL NOT EJECT AT ALL - WHAT DO I DO?  
Using a paper clip, press the reset button (see page 7 for its location).  
If this section does not address your question, please contact your  
Rosen authorized dealer. Also, your system has internal diagnostic  
capabilities that are accessible to authorized Rosen dealers. To locate  
a Rosen Entertainment Systems authorized dealer, please visit  
WHY DO I GET NO RESPONSE WHEN I PRESS THE REMOTE  
BUTTONS?  
Check the battery in the remote control.  
If you press a DVD function button when that function is not allowed  
by the disc, there will be no response. An example would be  
pressing pause during a DVD disc menu that does not allow pausing.  
This varies by DVD disc.
