Servicing:
Should your Movievision
TM
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 Movievision
TM
service facility.
Cabinet Cleaning:
The front panel of the Movievision
TM
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 Movievision
TM
VCR. Damage will result.
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.
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
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.

use ANY chemicals on the viewing screen or related
plastic parts such as glass cleaners,furniture polish, specialized

VCR Head Cleaning:
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.
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.
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;
CONTACT WITH A VOLTAGE POINT INSIDE THE VCR CAN
CAUSE DANGEROUS SHOCK OR MAY SHORT OUT PARTS
AND CAUSE FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK.
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 “AAA” batteries as needed.
