Note: The special iPod cable can be connected to the head unit through the iPlug or through a dedicated iPod jack on the rear panel.

Rear View Camera Input: The head unit features a function that automatically switches to the rear camera image when a rear camera is installed on your vehicle. When the shift lever is in the reverse position, the screen automatically switches to the rear view camera.

DVD/Video CD Features

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 supplied yellow/blue wire must be hardwired into the vehicle's parking brake light circuit, and the vehicle's parking brake must be engaged.

Multi-Angle Display: This function allows you to choose the viewing angle of scenes that were shot from a number of different angles. 

Note: This function is limited to DVDs recorded with multiple camera angles.

Preamp Outputs: The XDVD8182 has 6 channels of preamp outputs: front L/R, rear L/R, center, and subwoofer. If you want 6-channel theater-style sound, you can hook up the appropriate external amplifiers and speakers to the front, rear, center, and subwoofer preamp outputs. When the unit is in 6-channel mode, you can independently adjust the level of each speaker.

Surround Mode: You can choose between full 6-channel output or a downmixed 2-channel mode. Surround mode options include Pro Logic, PL II Matrix, PL II Movie, and PL II Music.

Surround Setup: You can input the size and presence of each speaker in your sound system by entering "Large" or "Small" for Front left/right, and "Large," "Small," or "None" for Rear left/right and Center. For the Subwoofer, you can enter "Present" or "None." You can select "Large" for speakers that give a full-range output. When "Small" is selected, it will activate a high-pass filter whose crossover is dependent upon the subwoofer's low-pass filter setting:

• Low Pass @ 80 Hz: High Pass= 90 Hz
• Low Pass @ 120 Hz: High Pass= 135 Hz
• Low Pass @ 160 Hz: High Pass= 180 Hz

Dynamic Range Control: This function reduces a Dolby Digital soundtrack's dynamic range so you can hear quieter dialog without being overwhelmed by loud sections. You can choose a setting of On or Off.

Pink Noise Generator: The built-in pink noise generator helps you set the relative speaker levels for multi-channel playback. You can play pink noise through the left front, center, right front, left surround, right surround, and subwoofer outputs.

Center/Rear Delay: You can adjust the time difference between the center and the front speakers to create a time delay between 1 and 5 milliseconds to produce a more accurate audio effect. You can also adjust the time difference between the rear and front speakers between 3 and 15 milliseconds.

Fast Forward/Fast Reverse: When playing a DVD, there are four fast-play speeds in both directions (2x, 4x, 8x, and 20x).

Repeat Play: When playing a DVD, you can repeat the current chapter or title. When playing a Video CD, you can repeat the current track. For MP3/WMA, you can repeat the current file or folder. A-B Repeat allows you to repeat any portion of a DVD.

External Device Controls

iPod Compatibility: Most iPods from 3rd generation to 5th generation, equipped with the proprietary dock connector, can be connected to and controlled by the head unit (see list below for firmware versions, the iPod Shuffle is not compatible because it has no dock connector). When the iPod is connected, it can be controlled via the touch-screen and rotary dial. The screen displays all information including playlists, artists, albums, and songs. You can also view pictures and videos from 5th Generation iPods. In addition, your iPod will charge while connected and the system is turned on.
