Do not disassemble or modify the set. Doing so may damage it and voids your  
warranty.  
Keep drinks and drops from umbrellas away from the set. Water may damage  
the internal circuitry.  
Do not let the set become hot. If temperature in the car is high or the set has  
been exposed to direct sunlight and is hot, lower the temperature before using  
it. (The liquid crystal panel will work properly within a temperature range of  
30 – 113 degrees F.)

particular source. The LED will turn orange upon entering the power  
saving mode after five seconds.  
Choose the proper input source by pressing the Input Select Button on the front of  
the monitor.

TILTIN G THE MO N ITO R:  
Gently hold the top and bottom of the monitor panel and tilt the monitor forward  
or backwards to achieve the desired viewing angle. Maximum tilt angle is 10°  
forward and up to 45° backwards.  
CARE AN D MAIN TEN AN CE:  
Cleaning the cabinet:  
Use a soft, dry cloth and gently wipe off any dirt. For tough dirt, apply some  
neutral detergent diluted in water to a soft cloth, wipe off the dirt gently, then  
wipe again with a dry cloth.  
Do not use liquid cleaners on any surfaces as they may damage the cabinet or  
cause the paint to peel. Also leaving rubber or plastic products in contact with  
the cabinet for long periods of time may cause stains.  
Cleaning the LCD Panel  
The LCD panel tends to collect dust, so wipe it off occasionally with a soft dry  
cloth. The surface is easily scratched; so wipe with gentle light strokes.  
Do not use any type of hard objects to clean the surface. Damage may occur.

VMA1891 18.1” TFT LCD Color Monitor  
1 1 0 VAC HO ME APPLICATIO N :  
Attaching a home VCR player.  
1. Connect the L/R audio outputs of the VCR player to the R-AUDIO-L inputs.  
2. Connect the video output to the Video input on the VMA1891.  
NOTE: Since there is only one set of L/ R audio inputs on the VMA1891,  
additional components must route their audio signals through the VCR  
A/ V inputs. This may limit the components attached to the VMA1891.  
Attaching a home computer or laptop.  
1. Connect the computer’s audio output (through the provided adapter cable) into  
the R-AUDIO-L inputs on the VMA1891 (see diagram above for multiple  
component attachment).  
2. Connect the VGA output on the computer (using the provided VGA cable)  
directly to the RGB input on the monitor.  
Attaching a home DVD/ CD Player.  
1. Connect the DVD/CD player’s audio output into the R-AUDIO-L inputs on the  
VMA1891 (see diagram above for multiple component attachment).  
2. Connect the S-Video output on the DVD/CD (S-Video cable is not supplied)  
directly to the S-Video input on the monitor.

OWNER’S MANUAL  
NOTE: If there is no S-Video output on your DVD/ CD player, connect its  
video output to the video input on the VMA1891. The S-Video output  
connection is preferred over the composite video output due to better  
signal quality.  
W IRIN G PRECAUTIO N S (+1 2 VDC O PERATIO N ):  
Read all wiring precautions. If you are not sure of the connections, contact your  
authorized Clarion dealer.  
Be sure to disconnect the car’s negative (-) battery terminal to prevent short  
circuits during installation.  
When creating passage holes through metal or plastic panels, use grommets to  
eliminate any sharp edges created during drilling. This will protect power or  
video wires from nicks or damaged causing a possible short circuit or failure.  
When connecting the ground lead, fasten the ground lead (black) securely to a  
clean metal plate on the vehicle. Use sandpaper to remove any paint from the  
surface where the ground terminal is attached.  
If the fuse should blow, check to see if the wiring is correct.  
NOTE: This monitor’s audio section can only be power through the 110 Vac  
connection. W hen using the monitor in a +12Vdc application,  
additional audio components are required. See your Clarion Dealer  
for additional equipment.
