Television Reception

This entertainment system is designed primarily for viewing prerecorded movies or playing video games. T elevision reception in a moving vehicle will be limited and in some areas will not be possible due to weak and variable signal strength. Television viewing in a stationary vehicle will result in an improvement, but may still be marginal due to signal strength. The quality of the picture will not be consistent with home TV reception. Reception may be affected by weather and distance from TV station. A weak signal may cause the picture to roll, be snowy, or cause some color loss.

! Headphone / Speaker Amplifier ! Headphone Jacks (TV) ! Forward and Side Remote Sensor ! Dome Lights with Switch ! Backlit Controls for Low Light Operation

Operation

Overhead Dome Lights

The lights integrated into the VOH703 are controlled by a three position slide switch. Sliding the switch to the on position will turn the lights on. The off position will prevent the lights from turning on at all times and the auto position will allow the lights to turn on and off with the vehicle’s interior lighting.

Switch

Remote Sensor

The VOH703 incorporates an Infrared sensor which relays signals from the remote control to allow the VOH703 and VCP to be controlled simply by pointing its remote control at the remote sensor eye. This provides control of auxiliary equipment such as an Audiovox Video Cassette Player . The infrared sensor can relay signals from any manufacturer’s remote controls to the component connected to the Video 1 and 2 inputs, such as a DVD player . In this case you must use the remote control supplied with the DVD player.

Optional Accessories

Wired Headphone

There are two 1/8” headphone jacks on the VOH703 that can be used with any standard stereo headphones. The jack, TV EAR, is used to listen to the video program audio. The audio volume is controlled by the TV VOLUME up/down buttons. Remove the protective plastic cover to access the jacks. Remember to replace the cover when the jacks are not in use.

Wired FM Modulator

Your video system may be equipped with an RF modulator, that allows you to listen to the VOH703’ s video audio signal by tuning your vehicle’s radio to the selected frequency, (88.7 or 89.1 - Check with your installer) and turning on the remote mounted RF modulator switch. (In most cases this toggle switch will be located underneath the driver’s side of the dash, check with your installer for the exact location.) Whenever the RF modulator is on, broadcast radio reception of the vehicle’s radio will be diminished. Setting the remote mounted toggle switch off will allow normal radio reception.

Video Output

The VOH703 provides a video output for an optional video monitor(s). (Refer to page 6 of the installation guide for more details.) This output will provide a video signal that duplicates the signal displayed by the VOH703 to an additional monitor or video display. Please see your installer for more information.

Audiovox Video Cassette Player (Aux Video 1)

In most installations a VCP will be connected to the “Video 1” input. To view a video cassette, turn the VOH703 On and press the source button on its control panel or the TV / Video button on the remote control until “Video 1” is displayed on the screen. The VCP may also be operated with the remote or the buttons

on its face. The VOH703 is now ready to play the audio and video signals from the VCP if it is connected to the “Video 1” input. Inserting a tape into the VCP will turn it on and automatically activate the play mode. If a rewound tape had already been loaded into the VCP, prior to its activation press play on the VCP or on the remote control to view the tape. For more information see the operator’s manual accompanying your VCP.
