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.

Manual Tracking  
to the MovievisionTM system.  
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 video-  
cassettes with copy protection may require some manual  
adjustment.  
2. Release the viewing screen from its folded and locked  
position in the viewing pod.  
3. Point the remote at the viewing screen and press POWER”  
or press POWERon 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 mecha-  
nism will draw the tape in to the play position. The tape  
will automatically go to play mode.  
To adjust manually, press TRKup 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.  
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.  
Note 2: If manual tracking adjustments do not produce a  
clear picture, there may be a problem with the videotape.

6. Stereo/Mono Switch:  
Car Radio Interface:  
If a condition of interference arises and it can not be reme-  
died by selecting another frequency, changing the transmit  
mode from Stereoto Monousually will eliminate inter-  
ference noise. The audio performance will be reduced when  
the switch is placed in the MOposition. Return the  
ST/MOswitch to the STposition to re-gain the high  
performance stereo sound in the headphones or the  
Vehicles stereo system.  
The signal transmitted from the MovievisionTM screen 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 MovievisionTM signal through the vehicle  
stereo system, repeat the following procedures;  
A. Turn ONthe MovievisionTM system and insert a tape or  
attach an auxiliary signal source to view on the screen.  
B. Turn ONthe FM radio in your vehicle and tune the radio  
to one of the 3 frequencies transmitted by the  
MovievisionTM system. (89.7mhz - 90.1mhz - 90.5mhz)  
Stereo/Mono Switch  
C. Adjust the volume and tonal qualities to suit your listen-  
ing taste.  
7. Transmitter Frequency Selection:  
The MovievisionTM viewing screen transmits a signal that  
is received by the MovievisionTM headphones and can also  
be received by the vehicles car radio. There are 3 fre-  
quencies available for use but only one can be used at a  
time. When you are listening to a movie using the wireless  
MovievisionTM headphones, it is possible that you could  
travel through an area where interference between the  
screen transmitter and the headphone receiver is at an un-  
acceptable 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”

Forgetting to turn off the headphones when they are not in  
use will decrease the battery life.

ed at the side of the Lear pad. A second set of personal

Cleaning and Maintenance  
Servicing:  
VCR Head Cleaning:  
Should your MovievisionTM VCR become inoperative, do not  
try to correct the problem by yourself. There are no user  
serviceable parts inside. Remove the unit from the vehicle  
and take it to an authorized MovievisionTM service facility.  
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.  
Cabinet Cleaning:  
The front panel of the MovievisionTM VCR can be cleaned  
with a soft cloth that has been immersed in luke warm  
water and wrung dry. Never use alcohol or solvents of any  
kind to clean your MovievisionTM VCR. Damage will result.  
1. Visit your local audio/video store and purchase a good  
quality VHS head cleaner and follow the directions sup-  
plied to clean the heads.  
2. If a commercial grade video head cleaner does not solve  
the picture quality problem, your heads may need pro-  
fessional cleaning. Consult your local video repair center  
for professional service.  
Screen Maintenance:  
During the normal course of use, the plastic housing parts  
will get dirty, dusty and the viewing screen will get finger  
prints on it. The viewing screen and related plastic housing  
parts can be safely cleaned using a dampened soft cotton  
cloth with a small amount of dish washing soap rubbed into  
it. An overly wet cloth that has too much soap in it will  
cause you trouble. Repeat the following procedures to cor-  
rectly clean the viewing screen and related plastic parts.  
When using head cleaning cassette, read all instructions  
carefully; incorrect head cleaning can permanently dam-  
age the video heads.  
DO NOT INSERT ANY OBJECTS INTO THE CABINET SLOTS;  
A. Completely soak a soft cotton cloth and rub a small  
amount of dish washing soap into it.  
B. Twist the cloth tightly and wring out as much moisture as  
possible  
CONTACT WITH A VOLTAGE POINT INSIDE THE VCR CAN  
CAUSE DANGEROUS SHOCK OR MAY SHORT OUT PARTS  
AND CAUSE FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK.  
C. Lightly, rub the cloth on the viewing screen and related  
plastic parts to remove the dust, dirt and fingerprints.  
D. Wipe off the excess soap residue with a clean dampened  
cloth and let air dry.  
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 AAAbatteries as needed.  
WARNING!  
Do not rub the viewing screen dry.  
Do not rub hard on the viewing screen as you will scratch  
it and or damage the screen.  
Do not rub on the screen in circular motions.  
Do not rub the screen with your fingers to clean it.  
Do not use ANY chemicals on the viewing screen or related  
plastic parts such as glass cleaners,furniture polish, specialized  
automotive cleaners, rubbing alcohol, thinners or solvents.
