SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
Congratulations upon your selection of this MEMOREX Product. Be sure to read the  
following Safety Precautions before trying to use it for the first time.  
MOISTURE CONDENSATION  
DO NOT OPERATE THIS VCP FOR AT LEAST TWO OR THREE HOURS WHEN MOIS-  
TURE IN THE AIR CONDENSES ON THE VCP.  
WHAT IS MOISTURE CONDENSATION?  
When a cold liquid is poured into a glass, for example, water vapor in the air will condense on  
the surface of the glass. This is called moisture condensation.  
MOISTURE WILL CONDENSE ON THE UNIT IN THE FOLLOWING CASES;  
When you move this VCP from a cold to a warm place.  
After heating a cold room or under extremely humid conditions.  
WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE THE ABOVE CONDITIONS,  
The PLAY indicator will flash on and off and all the function buttons except the STOP/EJECT  
button are made nonoperational to protect the video heads.  
In this case, take out the video cassette, leave the VCP turned on and let it remain at room  
temperature until moisture condensation disappears.  
Depending on the surrounding conditions, this may take two or three hours.  
Head Drum  
Video Tape  
If you cause a static discharge when touching the VCP, and the VCP fails to function, simply unplug  
the VCP from cigarette lighter socket, wait 10 minutes and plug it back in. The VCP should return to  
normal operation.  
Avoid extreme heat or cold. (41˚F/5˚C-104˚F/40˚C)  
Do not place the VCP on or near appliances which may cause electromagnetic interference, e.g.  
TV, speakers, etc. Doing so may cause erratic operation of the VCP including picture and/or  
sound distortion or noise.  
Do not place any objects (such as coins etc.) on the top of the VCP, which may result in the  
serious damage.  
Avoid extreme moisture and dust.  
The ventilation holes prevent overheating. Do not block or cover these holes. Especially avoid  
covering the holes with soft materials such as cloth or paper.  
Do not insert fingers or any other objects into the cassette loading slot. Do not spray cleaner or  
wax directly on the VCP or use forced air to remove dust.  
Keep the VCP away from flower vases, sinks, etc.  
If liquids should be spilled into the VCP, serious damage will result. If you spill any liquids into the  
VCP, unplug the DC power cord immediately and consult qualified service personnel before  
attempting to use the VCP again.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
(CONTINUED)  
INSTALL THE VCP IN YOUR CAR  
For a car equipped with air bags, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions whenever  
performing any electrical wiring work. Incorrect wiring can cause the air bag system of a car to  
malfunction.  
Never cut the insulation from the power supply lead in an attempt to draw power for another device.  
Doing so can overload the current capacity of the lead, creating the danger of fire and  
electric shock.  
For proper installation and wiring special technical knowledge is required. If you have any  
doubts about where to position or how to install components, contact the retailer where you  
purchased the product, your automobile dealership, or an automotive service provider. Note  
that you will be charged separately for installation work.  
Use all of the components that come with this product only as directed. Improper use of  
components can damage interior components or result in improper anchoring of compo-  
nents, which creates the danger of accident and personal injury.  
Improper installation creates the danger of fire and accident.  
Take care so wires are not pinched between chassis parts, by screws, or by the seat as it  
slides on its rails, etc. Such conditions can cut wires and cause shorts, creating the danger  
of accident, electric shock, and fire.  
Avoid installation in areas subject to strong vibration and areas where secure anchoring  
cannot be achieved. Components installed in such areas can work loose, creating the  
danger of accident and personal injury.  
Never install the VCP on the dashboard or in any other location where it obstructs forward  
vision.  
Never attach the stand to the roof of your car. Doing so creates the danger of the VCP  
falling down.  
Never attach the stand to a sharply angled surface or to a surface that causes the VCP to  
face downwards. Such installation can cause the VCP to fall.  
Be sure to turn the ignition key of the car to the “OFF” position before connecting or disconnecting  
wires and cables. Failure to do so creates the danger of electric shock and personal injury.  
DRIVING SAFETY  
Never watch the VCP or try to adjust settings while driving. Doing so creates the danger of  
traffic accident. Before operating the VCP, be sure to stop the car in a safe area.  
Never install the unit on the dashboard or in any other location where it obstructs forward  
vision. Items that obstruct forward vision in a motor car may be illegal.

Also, make sure that all components are installed where they do not interfere with operation  
of the steering wheel, shift lever, brake pedal, etc., for example under the driver’s seat, and  
where they do not endanger passengers. Improper installation creates the danger of traffic  
accident and personal injury.  
Make sure all cables are bundled together so they do not interfere with car operation, as  
described in this manual. Improperly installed cables create the danger of entanglement with  
the steering wheel, shift lever, brake pedal, etc.  
IMPORTANT NOTES:  
The unit is designed for use with a 12V DC automotive power supply. Never use it in a  
truck, bus, or any other car that has a 24V power supply.  
Be sure to stop your car in a safe area before watching or adjusting the VCP.  
Operating the VCP for a long time with the engine of your car stopped can run down your  
car’s battery.  
Never leave the VCP in areas exposed to temperature extremes or strong direct sunlight.  
Leaving it in a closed car, in direct sunlight, near a heater, etc. can cause deformation of the  
case. Using this product in areas that are colder than 5°C (41°F) or hotter than 40°C  
(104°F) can result in poor image quality.  
Never use benzene or other chemical agents for cleaning.  
Chemicals can damage the case and remove markings.  
Use a soft cloth moistened with a weak solution of water and mild neutral detergent. Wring  
out all excess moisture from the cloth before wiping.  
Never drop the VCP or otherwise subject it to strong impact.  
Should the VCP ever begin to emit smoke, abnormal odor, or a strange noise, immediately  
turn off power and unplug the unit from the cigarette lighter socket. Continued use of the  
VCP under any of these conditions creates the danger of fire and electric shock.  
Do not continue to use the VCP if it is malfunctioning and does not produce a video image  
or sound.  
Whenever you notice such symptoms, immediately turn off power, unplug the VCP from the  
cigarette lighter socket. Continued use of the VCP creates the danger of fire and electric shock.  
When you leave your car unattended for long periods, be sure to unplug the VCP from the  
cigarette lighter socket. Leaving the VCP plugged in can run down the car’s battery.

VIDEO HEAD CLEANING  
VIDEO HEAD CLOGGING  
The video heads are the means by which the VCP reads pictures from the tape during  
playback. In the unlikely event that the heads become dirty enough to be clogged, no picture  
will be played back. This can easily be determined if, during playback of a known good tape,  
there is good sound, but no picture (picture is extremely snowy). If this is the case, have the  
video cassette player checked by qualified service personnel.  
Good Picture  
Snowy Picture  
VIDEO HEAD CLEANING  
Video head cleaning is needed when the playback picture becomes unclear. This signifies  
that the heads are getting dirty and can occur when playing poor quality or damaged tapes.  
If the heads require cleaning, use a equivalent high quality chemical non-abrasive (wet) head  
cleaning tape or have them cleaned professionally. If playing a head cleaning tape in the VCR  
once does not improve the picture, play it several times before requesting service.  
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOV-  
ING THE TOP COVER.  
NOTE:  
Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce  
clear pictures.  
To help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.
