Remote Sensor The VOH8512 incorporates two Infrared sensors which relay signals from the remote control to allow the unit to be controlled simply by pointing its remote control at the remote sensor eye. The repeater function allows control of auxiliary equipment such as an Audiovox DVD Player or Video Cassette Player. The infrared sensor can relay signals from most manufacturer’s remote controls to its respective component connected to the AV input.
Wireless FM Modulator The VOH8512 is equipped with buit-in wireless FM Modulator*, that allows you to listen to the VOH8512 audio signal by tuning your vehicle’s radio to the selected frequency, (88.3, 88.7, 89.1, 89.5, 89.9MHz). This feature is accessed by using either the FM transmitter buttons on the remote (ON/OFF, Channel Select) or the FM Select button on the unit. Whenever the FM modulator is on, broadcast reception on the vehicles radio will be poor.
Troubleshooting PROBLEM SOLUTION Poor in vehicle radio reception • Check the condition of the vehicle’s radio antenna. • Verify that the antenna is fully raised. • If a relay box (SIRSWB) has been insatalled, make sure that the FM Modulator is turned OFF. • If a wired FM modulator has been installed, verify that it is turned OFF by using the remote or switch. IR sensor inoperative • Verify that the batteries in the remote are fresh. • Verify that the remote sensor eye is not obstructed.
