Front screen is scrolling playing from rear DVD screen

j2d · Post by **j2d** » Sat Jun 11, 2011 5:15 pm

Just connected my 2 rear DVD screens, connected a AV lead to the TV module so I can play 1 of the DVDs over all 3 screens, and the sound over the stereo, but when I turn the front screen to AV I get the picture but it is scrolling/flickering!

The picture on the 2nd screen is fine.

Any ideas?

John

Check out the settings, maybe the front is NTSC and rear PAL. I could be wrong though...

Sorry for the late reply - saw your PM earlier.

Think Pewters has this covered (same happened to him and sorted).

Not uncommon for the front screen to do this and usually it's the video signal strength being presented to the front screen. You'll need a video signal booster, can be had off eBay or one from Pewters if he still has his (know it works).

Make sure you wire it to an ignition positive, so as not to drain the battery.

Do you have any other input to the front screen i.e... DVD player. I have a 100gb media player playing to my front screen on the AV channel. I got this messed up once and couldn't see the screen to change the settings but I found that by pressing a certain button on the remote it scrolled through the options until I got the right one.

I think it will be the DVD. It will be set to a different system to the screen. Either PAL or NTSC and the screen will be the opposite which causes the scrolling as they are incompatible systems. My media player did this when i first had it installed and I couldn't see the menus to change anything. Then I found out that by pressing a certain button the media player remote it changed the setting with each press of the button so i just pressed until they both matched and hey presto everything was fine.
Maybe your DVD will have something similar.
