[. . . ] Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty will last or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights that vary from State to State. DIRECTED does not and has not authorized any person or entity to create for it any other obligation, promise, duty or obligation in connection with these UNITS. All components other than the unit, including and without limitation the remote control, cables and installation accessories, carry a 60-day warranty from the date of purchase of the same. This warranty is automatically void if the unit's date code or serial number is defaced, missing or altered; the unit has been modified or used in a manner contrary to its intended purpose; or the unit has been damaged by accident, unreasonable use, neglect, improper service, installation or other causes not arising out of defects in materials or construction.

REMOTE SENSOR INPUT - The optional remote infrared (IR) sensor eye allows you to access all the features on the remote control when the VCR is mounted in another location away from the remote. To install the remote IR sensor, simply plug it into the input next to the power plug. Run the sensor cable to the front of the vehicle and mount the sensor in a convenient location so that the remote control can be easily pointed toward the remote sensor eye. 9. Note: Route the wires so they can not be pinched, punctured, or chaffed against bare metal. Always fuse appropriately at the source. © 2001 Directed Electronics, Inc. 9 Remote Control Always aim the remote control directly at the VCR or the remote sensor eye.

Playing a Tape 1. If connected with RF cable, set TV to channel 3 or 4 and set VCR output to channel 3 or 4 in the MAIN MENU. If the tape doesn't have a safety tab, VCR will playback automatically. When playback starts, the VCR automatically adjusts the tracking for clear picture and sound. Videocassettes recorded on other VCRs and videocassettes with copy protection may require some manual adjustment. To adjust manually, press CH/TRK up or down as necessary until the best picture possible is achieved. NOTE: Picture distortion often occurs at the beginning of a tape. If manual tracking adjustments do not produce a clear picture, there may be a problem with the videotape. 2. 3. 4.
