applications, including front or rear seat video or the control panel/display
for a navigation and rear camera system.

system is a perfect add-on to the TME-S370 for simple, reliable navigation to
your destination. The TME-S370 is also compatible with the NVE-N872A, PMD-B200,
and NVE-P1 with PMD-DOK2.

any of the three display modes to fit the aspect ratio of the selected video
source:

center of the screen with a vertical black band at each side.
- Wide: The monitor displays a normal picture wider to fit
in a wide-screen monitor by evenly stretching out the picture horizontally.
- Cinema: The monitor displays a normal picture by
stretching out the picture vertically. This mode displays a 16:9 source
normally.
Ambient Light Sensor: The TME-S370
monitor has an ambient light sensor along the left edge of the front panel which

brightness of the screen. The low limit of brightness can be preset. The
built-in menu allows you to set the monitor brightness as follows:
- High: Sets the strongest brightness
- Low: Set the brightness to the preset low level (adjustable)
- Auto: Adjusts the brightness automatically to the brightness of
the car interior.
Hideaway Unit: The monitor comes with a small hideaway unit

of the input connectors, plus an 8-pin power harness. You can connect one A/V
device (composite or S-Video plus stereo audio), a rear-view camera (composite),
and an Alpine navigation unit. You can select the sources on the touchscreen as
"Aux", "Nav" and "Camera".
Camera Options: The TME-S370 gives you several options when
connecting a rear-view camera:

camera input whenever the vehicle is placed in reverse gear. If set to
"off", you must manually select the camera input.
- Horizontal Flip: You can see the image from the rear view camera
normally, or as a mirror image.
- Vertical Flip: You can set the camera image to appear normally,
or upside down, depending upon the orientation of the camera.

TV systems. The menu allows you to set the monitor to NTSC, PAL, or Auto.

speaker (approximately 1.25" diameter) on the monitor's rear panel and an
internal amplifier. The speaker outputs sound for the Aux input and Navigation
guidance. You can turn on/off the speaker through the menu.
Mounting Options: The TME-S370 monitor comes without a
mounting bracket. It has four 4mm (M4) threaded mounting screw holes in the
universal AMPS pattern (1-1/2" W x 1-1/4" H), which can work with many of the
Pro.Fit universal mounting solutions. It can also be custom fit into many
