1. FEATURES
s
The Clarion 5-inch VMA5096 and 7-inch VMA7196 are high-performance video
monitors designed specifically for the mobile environment. Intended for use with other
Clarion multimedia products, the monitors can be integrated with many other products
as part of a complete mobile video solution.
Two video inputs support simultaneous connection to both dedicated video source units
and optional audio/video components, such as camcorders or videogames.
• Infrared remote control receiver output allows integration with select Clarion DVD
and VHS source units.
• Automatic switch between NTSC and PAL video signals allows operation with either
standard (NTSC is the standard North American video format).
• 16:9 aspect ratio allows viewing of DVD films in their original aspect ratio for the
best cinematic experience (widescreen).
WARNING!
The monitors are designed to be viewed by rear-seat occupants.
Digital video products are not intended for viewing by the
driver while the vehicle is in motion. Such use may distract
the driver or interfere with the driver’s safe operation of the
vehicle, and thus result in serious injury or death. Such use
may also violate state law.
Clarion disclaims any liability for any bodily injury, including
fatalities, or property damage that may result from any
improper or unintended uses of this product.

2. PRECAUTIONS
s
• Do not operate your monitor in ways other than those described in this manual.
• Do not play a multimedia system when the car’s engine is turned off. Doing so runs
down the car’s battery.
• Do not disassemble or modify the monitor.
• Keep moisture away from the monitor. Water and humidity may damage internal
circuitry.
• Do not let the monitor become overheated. If the temperature in the vehicle is high
or the monitor has been exposed to direct sunlight, cool the monitor (such as, by
running the air conditioning) before you turn it on.
• Keep all liquids, including beverages and cleaning fluids, away from the monitor.
Liquids in the monitor can damage the electronics and result in electrical shock or
fire. If the unit becomes wet, turn off all power and contact an authorized Clarion
dealer to have the monitor inspected.
• Never press on the liquid crystal display (LCD) panel. You may damage it.
Failure to observe these precautions may damage your car, the monitor, or the video
source, and may void the warranty.
Installation
Installation of mobile audio and video components requires experience with a variety of
mechanical and electrical procedures. Although this manual provides general installation and operation instructions, it does not show the exact installation methods for your
particular vehicle.
If you do not have the required knowledge and experience to successfully complete the
installation, consult an authorized Clarion dealer about professional installation options.

Please Note
In extremely cold weather the movement of the picture may slow and the picture may
darken. The picture will return to normal once the temperature rises.
You may see small black or shiny dots in the liquid crystal panel. These non-conforming
pixels are normal and do not indicate a product defect.
