A. Introduction

Thank you for selecting this “Video in a Bag” System. The system's
main features include a 5.6" Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) monitor
and a DVD player. The system utilizes the latest state of the art elec­tronics and is designed for use in vehicles, hotels, offices or your
home. The “Video in a Bag” System is constructed to provide years
of reliable, trouble-free service. The system is compact so that you
can take it with you anywhere and is designed for quick and easy

monitors at once (two external and one attached). The connection of
the additional monitor is plug and play.
Please read the entire instruction manual supplied with this product
prior to operation. The documentation will assist you in installing the
system properly to obtain the best equipment performance. All manu­als should be stored for later use.

B. Cautions and Warnings

1. Placement

To prevent fire or electric shock, do not expose this appliance to
rain or moisture. Do not place the set on an unstable cart, stand,
tripod, bracket or table to prevent it from falling. Keep the unit away
from strong magnets, heat sources, direct sunlight, excessive dust.
If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, mois­ture may condense inside the unit. When you move it from a cold
to a warm location, wait for about one hour before operating the
unit, or remove the disc and leave the unit turned on until the mois­ture evaporates.

2. Installation

Ensure that the LCD Monitor, DVD Player, Bag and Pouch are
installed in accordance with the instructions and illustrations pro­vided in this manual. When the main unit is in the bag, ensure the
inside Velcro straps of the bag are fastened to prevent the unit from
falling. The “S” hooks and all straps must be fastened correctly to
secure the system in the vehicle in the event of an accident. Oper-

2

ate the “Video in a Bag” System with the bag open to ensure proper
ventilation of the monitor and the DVD player. The system is in­tended to be mounted for rear seat viewing only. Do not use the
system in the front seat while operating your vehicle.

3. Power

This system MUST be powered from the type of switched (Acces-
sory) power indicated on the marking label (i.e. not directly from the
car battery). Power should be applied to the unit when the ignition
key is in the Run and/or Accessory positions. To prevent battery
discharge, disconnect the “Video in a Bag” System jack from the
cigarette lighter socket when the unit is not in use. Use only the
supplied power cable matching this set to avoid electric hazards.
Always disconnect the power source first and then the jack from
the system.

4. Object and Liquid

Do not insert objects of any kind into the system through openings;
do not spill or spray liquid of any kind on or in the system (this may
result in a fire or electric shock). Do not place anything heavy on
the unit. To ensure proper ventilation and proper operation, never
cover or block the slots and openings with a cloth or other material.

5. Disassemble

To avoid harm from the inside laser beam to eyes, and to reduce
the risk of electric shock, do not attempt to disassemble the cabi­net. Contact qualified service personnel if your system is in need of
repair.

6. Cleaning Unit

When cleaning, make sure the system is unplugged from the power
source. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a cloth
lightly dampened with water for cleaning the exterior of the system
only.

7. Disc

Do not use irregularly shaped discs such as heart or star-shaped
discs as they may cause the unit to malfunction. Do not stick pa­per, tape or glue on the disc. Do not expose the disc to direct sun­light or heat sources such as hot air ducts. Do not touch the sur­face of disc. Handle the disc by its edge. Clean the disc by wiping

3

the disc from the center out with a cleaning cloth. Remove the disc
from the unit and store it in its case after playing. Some playback
operations of discs may be intentionally fixed by software produc­ers. Since this unit plays discs according to the disc contents the
software producers designed, some playback features may not be

Note:

1) When the monitor is combined with the main unit, the inside
signals including DC 12V power will be supplied from the main
unit to the monitor, so there is no need for another power source
to be connected to the DC 12V jack on the right side of the
monitor.

2) Refer to Figure 5 and 6. When the monitor is detached from
the main unit, you can connect the PORT on the right side of
the monitor to either MONITOR 1 port or MONITOR 2 port on the
left side of the main unit with the supplied DIN cable. When the
monitor is connected to the main unit with the DIN cable, DC
12V power, Audio/Video and IR signals will all be supplied through
the DIN cable to the connected monitor. So there is no need for
another power source to be connected to the DC 12V jack on
the right side of the detached monitor.

3) When detaching the monitor from the main unit, make sure
the system is unplugged from the power source to avoid
the risk of electric shock.
