System 2000
Overview:
The System 2000 is a time proven standard of Audio/Video entertainment
designed exclusively for tour buses.
The complete system incorporates:
•
A state of the art digital Audio Control Unit that incorporates advanced digital design for
enhanced reliability and complete centralized system control. The Control Unit 2000 allows
the operator to control up to three audio selections, allowing custom tailoring of each
channel's sound quality. There are three microphone inputs for the Public Address system,
which is switchable between internal and external speakers. The unit contains a separate
Video Section for controlling the VCP. It also allows the driver to control his own separate
audio selections. The Control Head is housed in a shallow DIN-E chassis that allows ease
and flexibility of installation.
•
A newly specifically designed 102 watt RMS per channel amplifier, capable of driving up to
twenty- six, four ohm speakers.
•
Up to six, custom designed ten-inch color monitors, which incorporate a unique anti-theft
locking slide mount. This design makes installation and removal very easy. In conjunction
with the Video system, there is a specially modified VHS video cassette player that allows
the operator convenient control over its functions.
•
Individual seat audio option. Allows each passenger to choose between up to four channels
of stereo audio and one video audio channel. Allows individual volume control of each
channel. (See Seat Audio Literature).
•
Camera options: Both a rear-view Back-up Camera and Scenic View Camera option are
available for the System 2000. (See Back-up Camera and Scenic View Camera Literature).

16 CHANNEL WIRELESS MICROPHONE AND RECEIVER
The 16 Channel Wireless Microphone, Receiver and Charging Cradle are custom designed units
that allow for wireless PA communication from anywhere on the coach. The unit consists of a
receiver mounted in the parcel area directly behind the driver, and a rechargeable hand-held
microphone and charging cradle.
The receiver has a front mounted power button and LED indicator. When the button is pushed
in, the power is on and the indicator illuminates. When the microphone is keyed a RF LED
illuminates indicating the presence of a RF signal. An adjustable level (volume) control is
provided to set the relative audio level. When the microphone is spoken into the audio level is
indicated on five vertical LEDs. The receiver also has a diversified antenna system (dual
antenna). This system switches between the two antennas to locate the strongest signal from the
microphone. The antenna in use is indicated by lighting either the A or B LED. Both the receiver
and the microphone have manual channel selectors. The channel is set with a small screwdriver
and both the channel selectors on the microphone and receiver must match.
The unit is a FCC approved device operating on the following 16 frequencies:
175.000 MHz
175.300 MHz
175.600 MHz
175.900 MHz
176.200 MHz

Panasonic 8-Disc CD Changer
Operations:
•
When used in conjunction with the Panasonic Dash Radio, the 8 Disc CD Changer provides
the improved clarity of CD audio. The CD changer is capable of holding eight audio CDs.
The Changer is controlled by the Panasonic Radio. The radio controls include Disc control
features including Disc selection and Disc scan. Individual track functions include: Track
Selection, Track Search, Track Repeat, Random Track, and Track scan.
Features:
•
The CD Changer receives power (+12VDC) and all control signals from the radio through a
single connector on the side of the unit. An external memory line is also provided.
•
The CD magazine can be removed from the unit (via the eject button) for convenient storage
and security.
•
Compact size and easy mounting keeps the Parcel rack clear and open for baggage storage.
O-18
System 2000
Tuner 2000
Operations:
•
The Tuner is capable of receiving both UHF and VHF television broadcasts and displaying
them on the monitors. The unit is typically mounted on the side of the VCP, located in the
front left parcel area behind the driver. The tuner has a two terminal “Y” connector for
power and is connected “in-line” with the power cable going to the VCP (both 12 and 24
VDC models are available). For optimum reception, the tuner requires an external UHF/VHF
antenna to be connected to the Antenna in Jack, also located on the rear of the unit. The
received channel is split internally into separate audio and video signals. The video and
audio outputs of the tuner are connected to the video and audio inputs of the VCP for display
on the monitors. The tuner has a red LED that indicates that power is present. This LED
becomes brighter in intensity when the unit is turned on via the power button on the front.
There are three channel control buttons labeled AUTO, CHANNEL UP, and CHANNEL
DOWN also located on the front of the unit. The AUTO Channel button is pressed to
automatically program the unit to receive broadcast signals of sufficient strength to produce a
viewable picture. The CHANNEL UP and CHANNEL DOWN buttons increment or
decrement respectively the programmed channels within the unit’s memory. As the coach
travels to different locations, the auto-programming feature may need to be repeated to
update the tuner memory for the local broadcast area.

surroundings over the coach monitors. The unit is mounted either on the center of the dash or
the “A” post facing forward. The camera has a single four terminal connector exiting the
bottom of the mounting bracket. The camera receives power (+12VDC) from the VCP and
supplies a video signal to the VCP via an interconnecting cable. The cable connects to the 4
terminal connector on the camera and the 12-14V DC socket and the Video in jack on the
rear of the VCP. (See Installation Guide for further details.). For viewing, simply select video
on the System 2000 Control Head (do not push play). The Control Head turns the VCP on
and the camera’s view is displayed over the monitors.

Control Head (700227). Display will
indicate "VID".
Verify power connections to relay
and any external current protection
devices, ie fuses or circuit breakers
Activate the Video System via the
Control Head. Measure the Voltage
on both sides of the Video relay's
coil. The side connected to the
(511672) cable, orange wire, should
measure approximately 0 Volts. The
opposite side should measure power
(+12 or +24V depending on relay
used). Relay should energize. If
these voltages are present but the
relay does not energize, replace the
relay.
Verify that the orange wire (from
511672 cable) is connected to the
relay coil. Activate the Video
System (as previously described).
Measure Voltage levels at the relay
coil. If the orange wire does not
measure near 0 Volts (less than 1V),
and all other connections are correct,
replace or repair the Control Head
