The celling at the front area was low so that screen in the front of the first row of first class was drop down mounted in the celling. FAs had to manually pull down the TV for safety demonstration and in flight Entertainement. I remember that those screens had to be stowed during takeoff and landing, when going to the lav during the flight, I had to clear my head a little to avoid my head slamming into the screen.
That's the one I was referring to in this post. For your entertainment guide on it is on the American Way magazine they give you headphone for it. Mine was AA162 LAX-EWR 2004.
