About Installation
Installation of mobile audio and video components requires
experience with a variety of mechanical and electrical proce-
dures. Even though this manual provides general installation
and operation instructions for your new Clarion VMA6593
Widescreen Video Monitor, 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, we strongly recommend
consulting an authorized Clarion dealer about professional
installation options.
3. USING THE VMA 6593
2. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
In order to operate the VMA6593, the vehicle ignition key
switch must be in the ACC or RUN position.
Liquids and the VMA6593
Keep all liquids, including beverages and cleaning liquids,
away from the VMA 6593. Liquids inside the monitor can
damage the electronics, and result in electrical shock or fire.
If the unit should become wet, turn off all power and contact
an authorized Clarion dealer to have the monitor inspected.

Note:
•
When using a DVD player as the source unit, make sure that the
DVD player’s output mode is set to “Wide” or “16:9”, so that it will
generate a video signal that can take advantage of the
VMA6593’s aspect ratio. When using this display with sources
that generate a “normal”, 4:3 image signal, such as videogames
and videocassette players, the [WIDE] button will “stretch” the
image to fit the screen. In this case, some minor image distortion
may be visible.
The [POWER] button turns the VMA6593 on and off.
Notes:

•
Even after the VMA6593 is switched on, the screen remains dark
until a video signal is detected.
When the ignition switch is turned off, the VMA6593 automatically
shuts off. The next time the ignition switch is turned on, the
VMA6593 will remain off until the [POWER] button is pressed.

After you cut the opening, route the DIN-connector end of the
wiring harness into the opening from the rear out the front.
4. Installing the VMA6593
The VMA6593 is designed for custom installation. While a
basic flush-mount bezel is supplied, you may need parts that
are not included (depending on your installation). Clarion
also offers optional mounting kits - the ZMT003 is a flexible
“gooseneck” mount, and the PQE023 positions the monitor
on the back of a vehicle headrest.
Insert the trim bezel and route the wiring harness through the
opening in the rear.
Firmly attach the bezel to the mounting surface and/or to the
interior of the mounting surface.
Note:
•
The Clarion HRM100 and HRM150 headrest mounting kits are not
compatible with this monitor.

monitor.
Before cutting the opening for the trim bezel, ensure that you
will have sufficient clearance for the monitor and its rear-
located wiring harness.

Removing the monitor from the bezel
To remove the monitor from the bezel, insert a flat card (such
as a credit card) between the monitor case and the side of
the bezel to release the spring clips.
Gently insert the monitor into the bezel. Press only on the

Custom Mounting using the threaded insert
5. Wiring the VMA6593
The base of the VMA6593 has a threaded insert (1/4 - 20).
This insert can be used with the optional Clarion ZMT009
gooseneck mounting kit or with a 1/4 -20 machine screw in
custom applications.
The following pages display wiring diagrams for various
VMA6593 configurations.
Read the following precautions before wiring your system.
•
Disconnect the negative battery terminal before making
any wiring connections.
•
Be particularly careful where you route wires. Keep them
away from the engine, exhaust system, etc. Heat may
damage wires.
•
If the fuse should blow, make sure all connections are
correct and no wires are damaged before replacing the
fuse. Always use fuses that are the same amperage value
as the original. When replacing a fuse, never let the battery
side touch any metal part or any other wire.
WARNING!
Be sure to disconnect the battery (-)
terminal before starting. This is to
prevent short circuits during installation.
