OWNER’S MANUAL/INSTALLATION GUIDE
Using The IR Remote Control
Inside the vehicle, simply aim the Remote Control directly at
the VDH9600’s faceplate and press any desired button.
When direct line of sight is impossible, install the remote
mount IR sensor in the front of the vehicle. For best results,
also note the following:
•
Aim the Remote Control from no further than 7 feet
away and no more than 3 feet on either side of the
VDH9600 faceplate or remote mount sensor.
•
Direct sunlight or very bright light will reduce sensitivity
to remote signal commands. Be sure the remote sensor is
not located in direct sunlight.
•
Objects between the VDH9600 faceplate or the remote
mounted IR sensor will interfere or block IR remote sig-
nal commands.

PERATION
The VDH9600 is equipped with a built-in Dew/Heat circuit
that automatically detects for moisture condensation and
internal temperature. When activated, the DEW/HEAT
Indicator will flash red and the Dew/Heat Sensor circuit will
inhibit the drive section to avoid damaging heads due to
sticking tape or high internal temperatures that can cause tape
damage. The unit will be powered on, but it will not accept a
videocassette.
NOTE: If a videocassette was left in the VDH9600, press EJECT
to avoid damaging the tape during this procedure.
If moisture is the problem, leave the power on so the unit can
warm up and dry any accumulated moisture. When the
Dew/Heat Indicator stops flashing, the unit will return to full
operation.

LEANING
Over time the picture may become blurred, interrupted, or
noisy. Probably dirt has accumulated on the video heads and
the unit will require cleaning. You can verify this symptom
by playing several different videocassettes. If the problem is
the same, then the heads need to be cleaned. Please consult
your nearest Clarion Pro Audio dealer for recommendations
on cleaning products and service.
