Installation Instructions
All cabin entertainment equipment, such as the FD932DVD-LP-2, should be installed on a
non-essential bus and have a dedicated circuit breaker. It is recommended that a switch
be installed in the cockpit so that the pilot can de-energize the entertainment system
should it become necessary.
Power
The FD932DVD-LP-2 requires 12VDC rated at a minimum of .50 Amps or 28VDC rated at
a minimum of .25 Amps to function.
The rated current of the equipment should be taken into consideration when selecting wire
gauge.
It is the installer’s responsibility to understand the product’s requirements and to install the
product in compliance with industry standards and safety.

Video Wiring Suggestions
Avoid routing video wiring parallel to:
•AC wiring
•Strobe wiring
•DC motor supply cables
•Inverter cabling
•Or any other potential noise source.
S-Video/Composite and Audio Wiring
Recommended cable for s-video/composite and audio purposes is PIC 75 Ohm Coax, P/N
V76261. This is a lightweight, flexible, and low signal loss cable which meets FAA
flammability requirements of FAR 23.1359(d), FAR 25.853(a) and FAR 25.869(a)(4).
Similar aviation coaxial cable can be used from other vendors, as well.
Some aircraft are prone to AC noise - we recommend adding to the composite source a 75
Ohm video isolation transformer such as Deerfield Laboratory, Inc. Part No. 162-1
(www.deerfieldlab.com, (650) 632-4090). In most cases this should be added to the video
output of the source.
Power and Ground Wiring
22 AWG wire is recommended for Power and Ground applications.
