I have a 1995 ford econoline e-350 that I use for car pooling a bunch of people to work and back. anyways my son just gave me an indash dvd player w/ a 7" flip out monitor (Absolute ATV600DVD). He also gave me a 17 inch flipdown monitor (Titainium Power)as well. My problem is with the head unit itself. I wired it all in yesterday and everything works, radio, tv, dvd, av1,av2, etc. but for some reason the picture when it is in dvd mode wants to keep rolling. It will not stay still at all. At first I did not hook up the brake switch wire and it would only play audio, Then i hooked up the e-brake switch wire and now it will play the picture but it keeps rolling from top to bottom pretty fast. If i ground the e-brake wire instead of the ebrake switch it will do the same thing.

So I thought it might be that the built in dvd player is going bad, so I hooked up a portable dvd player and switched the dvd to av1 and it still is jumping. When there is nothing hooked up to av1 or av2 mode it is a perfect still picture but when i switch it to dvd , even without a disc in it, it still is rolling just showing the dvd menu.

when i have the monitor fliped out with the radio on It shows a perfectly still display, Also if I put it on tv mode it is perfectly still.

does it seem like I have somthing hooked up wrong or do you think this head unit is just bad? (it worked great in my son's vw passat.)

I have not yet hooked  the big flip down monitor up yet, so I am not sure if it is transfering the rolling picture to other monitors or not yet.

It will play the dvd's just fine you just cant see it that well because of the picture rolling so fast.

Unfortunatly i do not have any manuals or anything . But the head unit and the multi channel box for the head unit are labeled by color and location of wire. So I am pretty sure it is hooked up right but I am just a little iffy on the e-brake wire.

any help will be greatly appreciated. And Thank you for showing support to a noo-b like me.

On this head unit you only hook up a system wire from the multi chanel box and it has the brake switch wire and a poss acc, batt mem, grnd, and a few others. The main vehicle harness and all speakers plug into the multi channel box and then runs the system cable to the head unit.

Look around in the menu and if there is Pal-NTSC option, it needs to be set to NTSC. I doubt that this is your problem since it has a built in DVD player, but the symptoms you are describing sure sound like it may be on PAL.

yeah I switched it into the NTSC mode and no change. I am curious if there is some other security wire or somthing that would cause it to do what it is doing. thanks for your help.

If it were a security issue, there would be no video.  Especially no video that would make you concentrate on the screen to see what was going on.
