VBP5000

VIDEO IN A BAG SYSTEM WITH

5.6" LCD MONITOR VCP & DVD PLAYER

A. INTRODUCTION

Thank you for selecting the VBP5000 “Video in a Bag” System.

The system's main features include a 5.6" Liquid Crystal Dis-

play (LCD) Monitor Video Cassette Payer (VCP) and a DVD

Player. The VBP5000 utilizes state of the art electronics and is

designed for use in Vehicles, Hotels, the Office and Home. The

“Video in a Bag” System is constructed to provide years of reli-

able, trouble-free service. The system is compact so that you

can take it with you anywhere and is designed for quick and easy

installation. The LCD monitor is detachable and can be utilized

and stored separately from the main unit. Two additional moni-

tors can be purchased and added to the system setup* allowing

you to utilize three monitors at once (two external and one at-

tached). The connection of the additional monitor is plug and

play.

*NOTE: The AC Adaptor will only support Two Monitors.

Please read the entire instruction manual supplied with this prod-

uct prior to operation. The documentation will assist you in in-

stalling the system properly to obtain the best equipment perfor-

mance. All documentation should be stored for later use.

SAFETY PRECAUTION

For safety reasons, when changing video media, it is recommended

that the vehicle is not in motion, and that you do not allow children to

unfasten seat-belts to change video media or make any adjust-

ments to the system. Enjoy your entertainment system but always

remember-safety of all passengers remains the number one prior-

ity.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

It is unlawful in most jurisdictions for a person to drive a motor

vehicle which is equipped with a television viewer or screen that is

located in the motor vehicle at any point forward of the back of the

driver’s seat, or that is visible, directly or indirectly, to the driver

while operating the vehicle. In the interest of safety, this system

should never be installed where it will be visible, directly or indi-

rectly, by the operator of the motor vehicle.

B. CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS

The Monitor is best kept in the fully closed position when it is at-

tached to the VCP/DVD Player and not in use. Before putting on

headphones always adjust the volume setting to the lowest posi-

tion. Do not apply pressure to the screen. Caution children to

avoid touching or scratching the screen, as it may become dirty or

damaged.

1. PLACEMENT

To prevent fire or electric shock, do not expose this appliance to

rain or moisture. Do not place the set on an unstable cart, stand,

bracket or table to prevent it from falling. Keep the unit away from

strong magnets, heat sources, direct sunlight, excessive dust.

If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, mois-

ture may condense inside the unit. When you move it from a cold

to a warm location, wait for about one hour before operating the

unit, or remove the disc and leave the unit turned on until the mois-

ture evaporates.

2. INSTALLATION

Ensure that the LCD Monitor, VCP, DVD Player, Bag and Pouch

are installed in accordance with the instructions and illustrations

provided in this manual. When the main unit is in the bag, ensure

the inside Velcro Strap of the bag is fastened to prevent the unit

from falling out of the bag (Refer to Figure 1). The “S” hooks and

all straps must be fastened correctly to secure the system in the

vehicle in the event of an accident. Operate the “Video in a Bag”

System with the bag open to ensure proper ventilation of the

VBP5000 system (Monitor/VCP/DVD Player). The system is in-

tended to be mounted for rear seat viewing only. Do not use the

system in the front seat while operating your vehicle.

3. POWER

This system MUST be powered from the type of switched (Acces-

sory) power indicated on the marking label (i.e. not directly from

the car battery). Power should be applied to the unit when the

ignition key is in the Run and/or Accessory positions. To prevent

battery discharge, disconnect the “Video in a Bag” System jack

from the cigarette lighter socket when the unit is not in use. Use

only the supplied power cable matching this set to avoid electric

hazards. Always disconnect the power source first and then the

jack from the system.

4. OBJECT AND LIQUID

Do not push objects of any kind into the system through openings;

do not spill or spray liquid of any kind on or in the system (this may

result in a fire or electric shock). Do not place anything heavy on

the unit. To ensure proper ventilation and proper operation, never

cover or block the slots and openings with a cloth or other material.

5. DISASSEMBLE

Do not attempt to disassemble the cabinet. There is a risk of elec-

tric shock and/or exposure to Laser Radiation. Contact qualified

service personnel if your system is in need of repair.

6. CLEANING UNIT

When cleaning, make sure the system is unplugged from the power

source. Do not use any solvents or cleaning materials (liquid, abra-

sive or aerosol) when cleaning the Video Monitor doing so may

scratch the screen. Use only a lightly dampened lint free cloth to

wipe the screen if it is dirty.

7. DISC

Do not use irregularly shaped discs such as heart or star-shaped

discs as they may cause the unit to malfunction.

Do not stick paper, tape or glue on the disc. Do not expose the disc

to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts. Do not

touch the surface of disc. Handle the disc by its edge. Clean the

disc by wiping the disc from the center out with a cleaning cloth.

Remove the disc from the unit and store it in its case after playing.

Some playback operations of discs may be intentionally fixed by

software producers. Since this unit plays discs according to the

disc contents the software producers designed, some playback

features may not be available. Also refer to the instructions sup-

plied with the discs.

8. VIDEO CASSETTE

Do not force a cassette into the compartment when the power

cord is unplugged. An inverted cassette cannot be inserted. After

playing a videocassette, remove it from the player. Store video-

cassettes in the sleeves or cases.

9. CLEANING VIDEO HEAD

To prevent video head clogging, use only good quality VHS tapes

and discard worn tapes. If the heads become dirty over a period of

time during normal operation of the VCP, the picture will be snowy

and the auto-tracking will not adjust the picture correctly. We rec-

ommend using cleaning cartridges sparingly to restore normal pic-

ture.
