SETTING THE CHANNEL
SWITCH
CHANNEL
, located on the back of the
VCP, determines on which channel (3 or
4) a standard TV receives the VCP’s sig-
nal. Set it to
3
for channel 3, or
4
for chan-
nel 4.
Notes
:
• If possible, set
CHANNEL
to a chan-
nel on which you do not receive reg-
ular television broadcasts.
• The
CHANNEL
setting has no effect
on a TV monitor, nor does it affect a
standard TV’s operation when the
VCP is turned off or not playing a
tape.
CONNECTING POWER
Using the supplied adapters, you can
power your VCP from either a standard
AC outlet or from your vehicle’s cigarette
lighter socket.
Cautions
:
• If you use the VCP in areas of high
humidity or move it from a cold area
to a warm one, allow it to warm up
for about 2 hours before you plug it
in and operate it. This allows any
damaging moisture to completely
evaporate.
• If moisture has formed inside the
VCP, it might not operate after you
connect power (see “DEW Protec-
tion System”).
Using AC Power
The supplied AC adapter lets you power
the VCP from a standard AC outlet. To
use AC power, connect the AC adapter’s
barrel plug to the VCP’s
DC IN 12V
jack,
then plug the AC adapter’s power cord
into a standard AC outlet.
Cautions
:
• The supplied AC adapter provides
14 volts DC power and delivers 850
milliamps. Using an adapter that
does not meet these specifications
could damage the VCP, your TV/
monitor, or the adapter.
• When you unplug the AC adapter,
grasp the adapter’s plug, not its
cord.
