NOTE
TO
PARENTS/GUARDIANS
Dear
Parents/Guardians:
View-Master®
Interactive
Vision™
Television
System
(VMIV)
offers a two-way
television
viewing
experience
that's
both
entertaining
and
educational.
Your
child
will
play
games,
constnlct
songs
and
stories,
and
respond
to
questions
asked
by
his
or
her
favorite
TV
and
movie
characters,
who
will
react
differently
according
to
the
answers.
To
help
your
child
get
the
most
out
of
VMIV,
please
read
this
booklet
completely
before
you
operate
the
system.
The
booklet
contains
the
following
major
sections:
•
SETTING
UP.
VMIV
connects
to
your
VCR
and
1V
for a
one-time
setup.
Once
connected,
it
remains
ready
to
play
and
does
not
interfere
with
regular
1V
and
VCR
viewing.
Setting
up
the
system
is
very
simple
with
most
video
system
configurations.
Pages
6-19
contain
clear
instructions
and
diagrams
to
help
you
connect
VMIV
to
your
system.
•
OPERATING
THE
SYSTEM.
This
section
explains
briefly
how
to
start,
stop,
pause,
rewind
or
fast-forward
VMIV.
Each
interactive
videocassette
provides
instructions
on
the
use
of
the
Electronic
Controller
with
its
joystick
and
buttons.
VMIV
is
an
electrically
operated
product;
there-
fore,
each
time
your
child
is
ready
to
play,
we
recommend
that
you
switch
on
your
VMIV,
VCR
and
1V
and
insert
the
interactive
videocassette.
However,
if
your
child
is
old
enough
to
work
a VCR,
you
may
wish
to
go
over
the
OPERATING
section
(pages
20-21}
with
him
or
her.
It
is a good
idea
to
re-read
the
OPERATING
section
after
you
have
played
an
interactive
videocassette
a few
times.

NOTE
TO
PARENTS/GUARDIANS
•
TROUBLE-SHOOTING.
In
the
unlikely
event
you
have
a
problem
in
operating
the
View-
Master®
Interactive
Vision
™
Television
System,
this
section
provides
suggestions
for
remedying
the
problem.
We
also
recommend
that
you
remain
with
your
child
the
first
time
he
or
she
operates
the
system.
That
way,
you
will
be
able
to
share
in
the
child's
enjoyment
as
well
as
ensure
that
everything
is
working
smoothly.
We
hope
you
and
your
family

System
and
the
unique
interactive

IMPORTANT
SAFETY
TIPS
Important
Safety
Tips
•
Observe
Warnings.
Read
all
safety
and
operating
instructions
before
operating
the
system,
and
all
warnings
on
system
components
should
be
observed.
•
Power
Sources.
The
system
should
be
connected
only
to
the
AC
Adapter
supplied
with
this
product
(see
SETTING
UP).
•
Object
and
Liquid
Entry.
Care
should
be
taken
so
that
small
objects
do
not
fall
and
liquids
are
not
spilled
into
system
components.
•
Temperature.
System
components
should
not
be
exposed
to
extreme
heat
or
cold.
•
Ventilation.
Your
VMIV Video
Processor
has
ventilation
openings
in
its
cabinet
to
release
heat
generated
during
operation.
Blocking
these
openings
can
cause
heat
build-
up
inside
the
unit,
causing
failures
that
may
result
in
a fire
hazard.
For
protection,
avoid
obstructing
the
ventilation
openings
with
any
foreign
objects.
