Magnadyne MV-VCRUSER02 - Manual (Page 5)

VCR Tape Playback
1. Turn “ON” the ignition switch and power will be applied
to the Movievision TM system.
2. Release the viewing screen from it’s folded and locked
position in the viewing pod.
3. Point the remote at the viewing screen and press “POWER”
or press “POWER” on the front panel of the VCR.
4. Insert a VHS tape into the tape slot of the VCR. Push the
tape case all the way in until the outer edge of the tape is
flush with the front panel of the VCR. The tape mecha-
nism will draw the tape in to the play position. The tape
will automatically go to play mode.
5. To stop playback, press “STOP”.
CAUTION! Do not push the tape in further than needed. Once
the outer edge of the tape case is flush with the front panel
let go of the tape! The mechanism will do the rest! Forcing
the tape in will result in damage to the mechanism and force
premature service.
Manual Tracking
For best picture quality, the VCR video head must be aligned
with the recorded track on the tape; this alignment is called
tracking. Videocassettes recorded on other VCRs and video-
cassettes with copy protection may require some manual
adjustment.
To adjust manually, press “TRK” up or down as necessary
until the best picture possible is achieved.
Note 1: Picture distortion often occurs at the beginning of a
tape. Let the tape play for a moment to see if the distortion
clears.
Note 2: If manual tracking adjustments do not produce a
clear picture, there may be a problem with the videotape.
Programming and Setup
To prevent excessive drain on your vehicles battery, the
Movievision
TM system will shut down 20 minutes after you turn the
ignition key to the “OFF” position.
WARNING! You must eject the tape before leaving the
vehicle for extended periods of time. DO NOT leave a
tape in the VCR! Damage to the tape and the VCR will
occur. This damage is not covered by any warranty.
