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.
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”).
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
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.
