SETTING THE CHANNEL
SWITCH
CHANNEL , on the back of the VCP,
determines on which channel a standard TV
receives the VCP’s signal. Set
CHANNEL to 3
for channel 3, or 4 for channel 4.
Notes:
• If possible, set CHANNEL to a channel
on which you do not receive regular
television broadcasts.
• The CHANNEL setting has no effect on
the audio and video outputs, nor does it
affect a standard TV’s operation when
the VCP is not playing a tape.
CONNECTING POWER
Using the supplied adapters, you can power
your VCP from either a standard AC outlet
or 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, so any moisture inside can
completely evaporate.
• If moisture has formed inside the VCP,
it might not operate after you connect
power (see “Dew Protection System” on
Page 12).
Using AC Power
The supplied AC adapter lets you power the
VCP from a standard AC outlet.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2 power
source that supplies 14V DC
and delivers at least 850 mA.
Its center tip must be set to positive and
its plug must fit the VCP's
DC IN 12V
jack. The supplied adapter meets these
specifications. Using an adapter that
does not meet these specifications could
damage the VCP or the adapter.
• When you unplug the AC adapter,
grasp the adapter’s plug, not its cord.
• Always plug the AC adapter into the
VCP before you plug it into the AC
outlet. Always unplug the AC adapter
from the outlet before you unplug it
from the VCP.
