OPERATION  
OVERHEAD DOME LIGHTS  
REMOTE INFRARED SENSOR/REPEATER  
A three-position slide switch controls the Dome  
Lights on the VOH1042 DL. Sliding the switch to  
the ON position will turn the Dome Lights ON. The  
OFF position will prevent the Dome Lights from  
turning ON at all times and the auto position will  
allow the Dome Lights to turn ON and OFF with the  
vehicle’s interior lighting. Do not leave the vehicle  
unattended with the Dome Lights switch in the ON  
position, as this could result in a discharged battery.  
The VOH1042 DL incorporates an Infrared Sensor,  
which relays the signals from the Remote Control to  
allow the VOH1042 DL to be controlled simply by  
pointing its Remote Control at the remote sensor.  
This provides control of auxiliary equipment such as  
an Audiovox VCP or DVD Player. The Remote  
Infrared Sensor can relay signals from most  
manufacturers Remote Control to its respective  
component connected to the Video 1 and 2 inputs. In  
this case you must use the Remote Control supplied  
with the other manufacturers component.

AUXILIARY A/V STEREO INPUTS JACK  
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES  
The VOH1042 DL may be equipped with an auxiliary  
A/V stereo input connector (optional).  
WIRELESS HEADPHONES  
These inputs are provided to facilitate the temporary  
connection of optional audio/video equipment, such as  
a camcorder or video game system. To play a source  
with these inputs, an RCA patch cord is required to  
connect the audio/video signals to their respective  
jacks. Mono audio sources will require the use of an  
RCA Y-cable (P/N 0892165) to connect to both right  
and left inputs, if patch cords are installed into the  
AUX inputs, the VIDEO INPUT 2 will be temporarily  
bypassed. Once the connections have been made,  
turn the VOH1042 DL on and press the source button  
on the VOH1042 DL or the TV/Video button on the  
remote control until “Video 2” is displayed on the  
screen. The unit will now play the audio and video  
signals from the accessory connected. The remote  
control will not operate the accessory components.  
The VOH1042 DL includes a built in Infrared  
Transmitter for use with Audiovox Wireless  
Headphones (P/N MVIRHS). Turning the Headphone  
switch ON will activate the internal IR Receiver; the  
volume can then be adjusted using the controls on  
each headset. Any number of wireless headphones  
can be used, but all must be within a line of sight from  
the transmitter, as infrared transmissions, like visible  
light travel only in a straight line.  
The VOH1042 DL has a Jack labeled “to FM  
Transmitter”, this Jack is for connection of an optional  
Audiovox RF Transmitter (P/N WTXRF01).  
This  
Transmitter is for use with the Audiovox Wireless RF  
Headphones (P/N WHPRF01).  
Consult the documentation accompanying the  
Audiovox Wireless Headphones for more information.

WIRED FM MODULATOR (P/N FMM100)  
Your video system may be equipped with an optional  
RF modulator, that allows you to listen to the  
VOH1042 DL’s audio signal by tuning your vehicle’s  
radio to the selected frequency, (88.7 or 89.1- check  
with your installer) and tuning on the remote mounted  
RF modulator switch. (In most cases this toggle  
switch will be located underneath the driver’s side of  
the dash, check with your installer for the exact  
location.)  
Whenever the RF Modulator is ON,  
broadcast radio reception will be poor. Turning the  
remote mounted toggle switch OFF will allow for  
normal radio reception.  
VIDEO OUTPUT  
The VOH1042 DL provides a video output for an  
optional Video monitor(s). This output will provide a  
video signal that duplicates the signal displayed by  
the VOH1042 DL to an additional Monitor or Video  
display.  
Please see your installer for more  
information.
