Video Cassette Tape Information

This VCR will operate with any cassette that has the VHS mark. For best results, we recommend the use of high-quality video cassette. Do not use poor quality or damaged tapes.

Precautions:

• Avoid Moisture. Moisture condensation may occur on the tape if it is moved from a cold location to a warm location or visa versa, Before using a tape with these conditions, to avoid damage of the tape and your VCR, wait until the tape is at room temperature and the moisture has evaporated.

• Avoid extreme heat, high humidity and magnetic fields.

• Do not tamper with the cassette mechanism.

• Do not touch the tape with your fingers.

Removing a Cassette:

1. In the stop mode, press the “EJECT” button on the remote control or press the “STOP/EJECT” button on the VCR. The cassette will be ejected.

2. Pull the cassette out of the cassette compartment.

3. Store the cassette in its case as shown.

Inserting a Cassette:

Insert the cassette in the direction as shown. Push in gently, but continuously, on the center-back of the cassette until it is drawn into the VCR. The VCR will automatically turn ON.

Erase Prevention:

You can prevent accidental erasing of a recording by breaking off the tab on the back edge of the cassette.

If you decide to record on the tape again, cover the hole with plastic tape

VCR Tape Playback

1. Turn “ON” the ignition switch and power will be applied to the Movievision

system.

2. Release the viewing screen from it’s folded and locked position in the viewing pod.

3. Point the remote at the viewing screen and press “POWER” or press “POWER” on the front panel of the VCR.

4. Insert a VHS tape into the tape slot of the VCR. Push the tape case all the way in until the outer edge of the tape is flush with the front panel of the VCR. The tape mechanism will draw the tape in to the play position. The tape will automatically go to play mode.

5. To stop playback, press “STOP”.

CAUTION! Do not push the tape in further than needed. Once the outer edge of the tape case is flush with the front panel let go of the tape! The mechanism will do the rest! Forcing the tape in will result in damage to the mechanism and force premature service.

Manual Tracking

For best picture quality, the VCR video head must be aligned with the recorded track on the tape; this alignment is called tracking. Videocassettes recorded on other VCRs and videocassettes with copy protection may require some manual adjustment.

To adjust manually, press “TRK” up or down as necessary until the best picture possible is achieved.

Note 1: Picture distortion often occurs at the beginning of a tape. Let the tape play for a moment to see if the distortion clears.

Note 2: If manual tracking adjustments do not produce a clear picture, there may be a problem with the videotape.

Programming and Setup

To prevent excessive drain on your vehicles battery, the Movievision

system will shut down 20 minutes after you turn the

ignition key to the “OFF” position.

WARNING! You must eject the tape before leaving the

vehicle for extended periods of time. DO NOT leave a

tape in the VCR! Damage to the tape and the VCR will

occur. This damage is not covered by any warranty.

Page 8

6.4" Viewing Screen Controls and Functions

7. Transmitter Frequency Selection:

The MovievisionTMviewing screen transmits a signal that is received by the Movievision

headphones and can also be received by the vehicle’s car radio. There are 3 frequencies available for use but only one can be used at a time. When you are listening to a movie using the wireless Movievision

headphones, it is possible that you could travel through an area where interference between the screen transmitter and the headphone receiver is at an unacceptable level. If this occurs, you can use the 3 position frequency switch located in the roof housing to select a different frequency that may have less or no interference. Each time you change the transmitting frequency, the headphone/car radio receiver will have to be re-tuned to the new frequency. The 3 frequencies available for use are

89.7mhz, 90.1mhz or 90.5mhz. (For further information on headphone tuning, consult the “Headphone Operation” section of this manual)

Car Radio Interface:

The signal transmitted from the MovievisionTMscreen can be received by the existing FM car radio. This listening mode provides a much higher quality of sound for all. To listen to the Movievision

signal through the vehicle

stereo system, repeat the following procedures;

A. Turn “ON” the Movievision

system and insert a tape or

attach an auxiliary signal source to view on the screen.

B. Turn “ON” the FM radio in your vehicle and tune the radio

to one of the 3 frequencies transmitted by the Movievision

system. (89.7mhz - 90.1mhz - 90.5mhz)

C. Adjust the volume and tonal qualities to suit your listen-

ing taste.

Transmitter Frequency Selection Switch

Stereo/Mono Switch

6. Stereo/Mono Switch:

If a condition of interference arises and it can not be remedied by selecting another frequency, changing the transmit mode from “Stereo” to “Mono” usually will eliminate interference noise. The audio performance will be reduced when the switch is placed in the “MO” position. Return the “ST/MO” switch to the “ST” position to re-gain the high performance stereo sound in the headphones or the Vehicles stereo system.

VCR Head Cleaning:

The use of poor quality or old worn tapes can still leave deposits on the tape head preventing high picture and sound quality. If a streaky or snowy picture (or no picture at all) appears during “playback”, the heads of your VCR may need to be cleaned.

1. Visit your local audio/video store and purchase a good quality VHS head cleaner and follow the directions supplied to clean the heads.

2. If a commercial grade video head cleaner does not solve the picture quality problem, your heads may need professional cleaning. Consult your local video repair center for professional service.

When using head cleaning cassette, read all instructions carefully; incorrect head cleaning can permanently damage the video heads.

DO NOT INSERT ANY OBJECTS INTO THE CABINET SLOTS;

CONTACT WITH A VOLTAGE POINT INSIDE THE VCR CAN CAUSE DANGEROUS SHOCK OR MAY SHORT OUT PARTS AND CAUSE FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK.

Headphone Maintenance:

There are no user serviceable parts in the headphones (Except the batteries) Do not disassemble the headphones for any reason. Replace the batteries with high quality Alkaline “AAA” batteries as needed.
