About Installation  
Installation of mobile audio and video components requires  
experience with a variety of mechanical and electrical proce-  
dures. Even though this manual provides general installation  
and operation instructions for your new DVA-3210, it does not  
show the exact installation methods for your particular  
vehicle.  
If you do not have the required knowledge and experience to  
successfully complete the installation, we strongly recommend  
consulting an authorized Rosen/necvox dealer about profes-  
sional installation options.  
 
FCC Approval  
CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the  
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the  
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable  
protection against harmful interference in a residential  
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate  
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in  
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interfer-  
ence to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee  
that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this  
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or  
television reception, which can be determined by turning the  
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to consult the  
dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.  
Handling Discs  
Always handle a disc by its edges. Never touch the surface of  
the disc directly. To remove inadvertent fingerprints and dust,  
use a soft cloth and wipe in a straight line from the center of  
the disc to the outside edge. Never use liquid or aerosol  
cleaners, anti-static spray, or thinner to clean the disc surface.  
Do not place discs in the following places: direct sunlight; dirty,  
dusty and damp areas; near car heaters; on the seats or  
dashboard. Avoid using adhesive labels on discs.  
Liquids and the DVA-3210  
Keep all liquids, including beverages and cleaning liquids,  
away from the DVA-3210. Liquids inside the player can  
damage the electronics, and result in electrical shock or fire.  
If the unit or the remote control should become wet, turn off all  
power and contact an authorized Rosen/necvox dealer to  
have the system inspected.  
Servicing the DVA-3210  
This unit uses a precision mechanism. In the event that  
trouble arises, never open the case, disassemble the unit, or  
lubricate the rotating parts.

What is MP3?  
MP3 is an audio compression method. This audio compres-  
sion method has become a standard format with many PC  
users. MP3 allows the original digital audio data to be  
compressed to about 10 percent of its initial file size while still  
retaining high sound quality. This means that about 10 music  
CDs can be recorded on a CD-R disc, thus allowing longer  
listening time without having to change CDs.  
ARTIST NAME - SONG TITLE  
To move to the next file or the previous file, use the [NEXT]  
and [PREVIOUS] buttons.  
To fast-forward or fast-reverse within a file, use the [FR] and  
Notes:  
[FF] buttons.  
The DVA-3210 cannot play discs recorded on a CD-RW unit.  
Some CDs recorded in CD-R mode may not be usable.  
Files without MP3 data will not play.  
Three repeat modes are available for MP3 use:  
NO REPEAT  
REP – ONE repeats the current file  
FOLDER REP repeats the current folder  
MP3 Playback  
When a disc with MP3 files is inserted, the SMART NAVI  
screen will appear. Each folder and file will be shown (the  
order may be slightly different than that on your PC). Navigate  
the files and folders using the navigation arrow keys, and  
select a file or folder to be played by using the [ENT] button.  
To conceal the SMART NAVI screen, see section “Setup.”  
Supported MP3 File Formats

File Extensions  
Always add a file extension “ .MP3” or “.mp3” to an MP3 file  
by using single-byte letters. If you add a different file exten-  
sion, or forget to add the file extension “ .MP3” or “.mp3,” the  
file cannot be played. In addition, if you use upper case and  
lower case letters (capital and small letters) mixed together for  
file extensions, normal play may not be possible.

4. Installing the DVA-3210  
5. Wiring the DVA-3210  
Mount the unit in a dry location according to the illustrations  
on the previous page.  
Wiring the DVA-3210 varies with the installation. These  
instructions only cover connecting the cable -they do not cover  
the connections of the optional DVD interface kit.  
Ensure that the unit is firmly mounted and cannot come loose  
in the event of a collision.  
With some Rosen and necvox units, the DVA-3210 can  
directly connect without the optional interface kit - see your  
Rosen/necvox dealer if you have questions about compatibil-  
ity.  
Also ensure that there is sufficient clearance in front of the  
unit to reach the door readily, and for the magazine to fit into  
the loading slot.  
Read the following precautions before wiring any system.  
Disconnect the negative battery terminal before making  
any wiring connections.  
CAUTION!  
WARNING!  
Be particularly careful where you route wires and cables.  
Keep them away from the engine, exhaust system, etc.  
Heat may damage wires.  
Always use great care  
when attaching anything  
to a vehicle! Visually  
inspect all sides of any  
potential screw location,  
to insure no damage will  
occur. If you have ques-  
tions about this process,  
see your authorized  
Do not overtighten the  
screws on uneven sur-  
faces! This can cause dam-  
age to the unit. If an even  
mounting surface cannot be  
found, fabricate a flat panel,  
mount the unit to it, and  
mount that panel to the ve-  
hicle.  
If a fuse should blow, make sure all connections are  
correct and no wires are damaged before replacing the  
fuse. Always use fuses that are the same amperage value  
as the original. When replacing a fuse, never let the battery  
side touch any metal part or any other wire.

SETUP

DVA-3210 Typical Setup and Configuration  
The DVA-3210 is very flexible. For more advanced setting  
options, please see the “Setup Options List” at the end of this  
section.  
The DVA-3210 is shipped with the following configuration:  
Standard 4:3 aspect ratio format output  
Automatic NTSC/PAL output switching  
Analog stereo audio, digital audio output off  
All language options set to English  
Parental control off, and default password of 3308.  
Note:  
Since the DVA-3210is capable of generating both NTSC or PAL  
video signals when set to “Multi” video output mode (see next  
page), upon first power-up the unit may generate the onscreen  
display in PAL mode. If this occurs with a system with NTSC  
video monitors, the picture will distort, “roll”, and appear black-  
and-white. The easiest way to cause the DVA-3210 to automati-  
cally switch to NTSC mode is to insert an NTSC DVD disc. While  
the unit can be manually switched from “Multi” to “NTSC”, it is  
difficult to do so if the display is not readable due to this  
distortion.

OWNER’S MANUAL ADDENDUM  
This information describes an updated feature not described in the DVA-3210 Owner’s  
Manual.  
MP3 Playback on CD-R Discs  
What is MP3?  
MP3 is an audio compression method. This audio compression method has become a  
standard format with many PC users. MP3 allows the original digital audio data to be  
compressed to about 10 percent of its initial file size while still retaining high sound quality.  
This means that about 10 music CDs can be recorded on a CD-R disc, thus allowing  
longer listening time without having to change CDs.  
Notes:

·
·
The DVA-3210 cannot play discs recorded on a CD-RW unit.  
Some CDs recorded in CD-R mode may not be usable.  
Files without MP3 data will not play.  
MP3 Playback  
When a disc with MP3 files is inserted, the SMART NAVI screen will appear. Each  
folder and file will be shown (the order may be slightly different than that on your PC).  
Navigate the files and folders using the navigation arrow keys, and select a file or folder to  
be played by using the [ENT] button.

To move to the next file or the previous file, use the [NEXT] and [PREVIOUS] buttons.  
To fast-forward or fast-reverse within a file, use the [FR] and [FF] buttons.  
Three repeat modes are available for MP3 use:  
· NO REPEAT  
· REP – ONE repeats the current file  
· FOLDER REP repeats the current folder  
To conceal the SMART NAVI screen, Press “Setup” and select “Preferences”.  
Supported MP3 File Formats  
· ISO9660, level 1 and level 2 (the most common type of MP3 format)  
· Joliet (a version of ISO9660 that supports longer filenames)  
· Romeo (a format used by some CD-creating software)  
File Extensions  
Always add a file extension “ .MP3” or “.mp3” to an MP3 file by using single-byte  
letters. If you add a different file extension, or forget to add the file extension “ .MP3” or  
.mp3,” the file cannot be played. In addition, if you use upper case and lower case letters  
(capital and small letters) mixed together for file extensions, normal play may not be pos-  
sible.
