2-Zone Entertainment
Clarion’s NX700, multimedia control station is capable
of 2-Zone entertainment. This function allows front
seat passengers to listen to one audio source, while
the rear passengers can enjoy another through an
overhead or headrest monitor with wireless head-
phones.
The rear seat passengers can enjoy a DVD movie
while the front seat passengers can listen to the radio
tuner, iPod, or auxiliary input. Audio signal for the rear
zone is a fixed level output allowing each rear passen-
ger to adjust the volume independently through
wireless headphones.
Please review your source
unit owner’s manual for
limitations pertaining to
2-Zone functionality with
respect to specific acces-
sories.

CCD Camera Input
Clarion’s multimedia control stations feature a dedicated
composite video (RCA) input for a rear vision camera to
assist the vehicle operator will backing up. It can be
interfaced with a Clarion Surround Sight camera system
or any camera with a composite video output. In addi-
tion, these multimedia control stations feature a dedi-
cated reverse trigger input wire that will switch the
reverse camera image while the vehicle is in reverse and
back to original screen when the vehicle is taken out of
reverse.
Audio/Video Outputs
This allows you to connect the output of the internal DVD
player or visual input to an external monitor. The
audio/video output features a line-level audio signal. The
connected device must have its own volume control.
Compatible devices include overhead or headrest
monitors with wireless headphones.
Video Distribution
Any time a video signal is to be split and connected to
multiple video sources, the use of a proper electronic
video distribution amplifier is required. The Clarion
VA700 provides (7) seven buffered video outputs from a
single composite video input connection.
Using the VA700 will ensure that the picture quality
remains clear and sharp and the brightness and contrast
levels are not altered.
The use of Y-cables is not
an option for splitting a
composite video
signals as the signal
voltage determines the
black level of the image, and
will be altered when split.
