Touchscreen Display
7" Touchscreen Monitor: The Valor SD-904W in-dash
multimedia receiver features a motorized 7" TFT Active Matrix, 16:9 touchscreen
LCD monitor. The LCD monitor provides display information, video, and
touchscreen controls. The resolution of the display is 800 x 480 (WVGA) for a
total of 384,000 pixels. The screen has a 120° horizontal viewing angle (60°
left or right), and a 90° vertical viewing angle (30° up and 60° down).
Display Angle Adjustment: You can adjust the display's tilt
angle (up/down) to one of five positions to optimize visibility.
Display Type: The unit's integrated monitor can be set to
display a 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratio image when watching a movie.
Picture Adjustment: You can adjust the touchscreen monitor's
Color, Contrast, and Brightness (0-20).
Video Lockout: For safety reasons, you cannot view a video
source on the built-in monitor as long as the vehicle is in motion. In order to
display video, the pink wire (in the supplied harness) must be hardwired into
the vehicle's parking brake light circuit, and the vehicle's parking brake must
be engaged.
