The video has become indispensable to wait children during long journeys. There are many ways to fit his car, but it is not always possible to modify his car to a video installation (LOA example). For easy installation and well integrated, this Macrom a headrest video very interesting: the DVD700HD!
A beautiful integration!
Between screens, ceiling recessed screens, headrests video, mobile systems that can strap on the front seat, it is not easy to navigate for the consumer. Nomadic systems do not allow the integration and are often of poor quality. The overhead monitor requires some work and assembly is not possible when the car has a panoramic glass roof. Then remains the headrest video universal mounts in place of the original headrest. This type of product on the Net abounds with bargain prices, but watch the quality is not always the rendezvous. Macrom just released a mid-range model that offers many benefits to having an integrated video system and powerful!
Benefits: a screen hideaway!
The DVD700HD Macrom of a headrest so universal, that mounts in place of the original. Except for a slight extra thickness, its shape is relatively close to a model builder. Through a system of adjustable tubes (several are provided), it fits into most cars, as long as the original headrest uses two round tubes. The tubes are hollow to allow passage of cables. The assembly is thus completely invisible, integrated, and does not need to change the seat. Macrom provides a small box which is placed under the seat to power the display and electrically connecting other video sources. The installation is very simple and requires no modification: it will therefore remove the system from the car to resell it to reuse it on another vehicle. Question finishing Macrom nursed her product so that it fits best in the cabin.
Through a system of adjustable tubes, the DVD700HD mounts in most cars without modification
Macrom developed the headrest video in collaboration with Baton. Thus, when we do not use the screen, it is masked by an electric shutter. This avoids having to draw up screens visible from prying eyes. At ignition, the flap is retracted to reveal the 7 inch screen in 16:9. The headrest Macrom adopts a faux leather finish black or beige, the most common colors in a passenger car.Thus, it makes more sense to mount the DVD700HD in a leather interior in a cloth interior. In any case, a color perspective, covering, sewing, this product really well. The other highlight of the headrest video functionality. Quite rare on this type of product, the screen is touch sensitive, allowing very easy to set all parameters such as color or brightness. Another advantage, if the included IR remote control is out of batteries, you can still use the screen. A slot on top of the head restraint can be introduced in a DVD player.
An electrical component hides the screen from prying eyes
This DVD player is compatible with the basic formats: MP3, WMA, JPEG and MPEG4. In addition, the DVD700HD includes a USB port and SD card reader. These are concealed by a small plastic cap on top of the headrest. They can read the same types of files that the DVD player. To connect other sources such as a digital tuner, the power pack has two audio / video inputs. Also note the presence of an audio / video feed to another screen. To play a movie or music, the headrest video has 3 options: a transmitter for IR wireless headphones, small and HP Integrated headset jack for headphones player. In short, the DVD700HD of Macrom has very good functionality. To nitpick, it lacks an iPod control.
Discover and use: practice and quality!
In use, this system was very pleasant Macrom. For starters, unlike many competing products, the OSD works in French. This allows children to adjust more easily the video settings. The touch-screen responds very well, but we still prefer the IR remote that allows caller to stay well in his seat. In our various tests, the screen has always presented a good image quality: colorful, contrasting light. But the very dark movies (movies run at night for example) going very well. The sound quality will depend of course on the helmet used, but with a good model, the DVD provides a sound quality. HP integrated small are quickly masked by the noise of the vehicle while driving.They are of little interest if not stopped.
The DVD700HD screen presents a beautiful image quality
Using a portable media like SD card or USB stick is very easy. The OSD has the support folders to the left of the screen and files in a folder on the right of the screen. It could not be simpler.Access to playback functions, settings, ..., this screen Mac Roma has a good ergonomics, but we would have liked an interface more fun, more fun, like Smartphones in short. Again, no concern for quality of image or sound, but it obviously depends on the quality of the files that you put in the mobile carrier. Overall, the DVD700HD is convenient to use and powerful, it is perfect for a large majority.
On top of the headrest, it has a USB port and an SD slot
The notice of caraudioinstallation
By partnering with Baton Macrom this video is a very attractive system to equip the rear seat of a car. First, the system DVD700HD mounts without the need to change the car. And third, the finish is neat and the headrest Macrom not detrimental to the aesthetics of a beautiful leather interior. The headrest is a little thicker than a conventional headrest, but the model Macrom could pass without concern for the original product. In short, a beautiful integration as we like. While the system does not reach Macrom integration specialist Vizualogic, but it is much more accessible, and especially is not limited to a few luxury cars.Damage cons, that does not Macrom more fabric colors and finishes, as well as the DVD700HD is limited to beige or black leather interior so as not to break up the aesthetics of the cockpit.
Picture adjustments are easy with the touchscreen
But hey, Macrom chose the most universal system that fits into a large number of cars. There are certainly universal headrest video cheapest, but not with this quality. This product Macrom offers great benefits and will connect many sources (USB, SD, game console, TNT, ...). The image quality is smooth and rear passengers will really enjoy watching a movie. No real big flaws to report, except that we would have liked a nicer OSD, more fun (but it is not essential). This product is sold individually or in packs. Two packages are offered. The first consists of two screens / DVD, while the second has a screen / DVD and screen slave (M700HD worth 500 Euro coins). Given the benefits, Macrom DVD700HD is good value for money.
