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.  
ACC or engine

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.

Be sure to disconnect the battery (-)  
terminal before starting. This is to  
prevent short circuits during installa-  
tion.  
3. Installation Requirements  
WARNING!  
Never install this monitor where it is  
visible from the driver’s seat, or where it  
could injure any vehicle occupant in  
case of an accident. Ensure that your  
installation does not create risk of head-  
strike injury, and that the monitor will  
remain securely mounted in the case of  
an accident or sudden maneuver.  
Precautions  
This unit is exclusively for cars with a negative ground, 12V  
power supply.  
Do not open the case. There are no user-serviceable parts  
inside. If you require asistance, consult your Clarion dealer  
or an authorized Clarion service center.

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.

all sides of any potential screw location,  
to insure no damage will occur. If you  
have questions about this process, see  
your authorized Clarion dealer.

CAUTION!  
NEVER press on the surface of the screen!  
Gently press on the edges of the monitor case.  
If you find that you cannot insert the monitor  
without excessive force, you may need to check  
your wire harness position for interference with  
the insertion process. You may also need make  
the opening slightly larger.  
The included trim bezel can be used to flush-mount the  
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.

Connect the wiring harness to the monitor, and tuck the  
excess wiring harness length carefully out of the way behind  
the bezel.  
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  
edges of the monitor, not on the screen. You will hear a few  
soft “clicks” as the monitor locks into place.

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.
