1. INTRODUCTION

The Clarion 5.8-inch VMA543 and 7-inch VMA743 are high-

performance video monitors designed specifically for the

mobile environment. Intended for use with other Clarion

multimedia products, they can also be integrated with many

other products as part of a complete mobile video solution.

Features

Two video inputs support simultaneous connection to both

dedicated video source units and optional audio/video compo-

nents, such as camcorders or videogames.

•The infrared remote control receiver output allows integra-

tion with select Clarion DVD unit.

•The monitors automatically switch to operate with either

NTSC or PAL video signals (NTSC is the standard North

American video format).

•The 16:9 aspect ratio screen allows DVD films to be viewed

in their original aspect ratio for the best cinematic experi-

ence.

Precautions

•Do not operate your monitor in ways other than those

described in this manual.

•Do not play a multimedia system when the car’s engine is

turned off. Doing so runs down the car’s battery.

•Do not disassemble or modify your monitor.

•Keep moisture away from the monitor. Water and humidity

may damage internal circuitry.

•Do not let the monitor become overheated.

If the temperature in the vehicle is high or the monitor has

been exposed to direct sunlight, cool the monitor (such as,

by running the air conditioning) before you turn it on.

•Keep all liquids, including beverages and cleaning fluids

away from the monitor. Liquids in the monitor can damage

the electronics and result in electrical shock or fire. If the

unit becomes wet, turn off all power and contact an autho-

rized Clarion dealer to have the monitor inspected.

•Never press on the liquid crystal display (LCD) panel. You

may damage it.

Failure to observe these precautions may damage your car,

the monitor, or the video source, and may void the warranty.

6 VMA543 and VMA743

Please note

In extremely cold weather the movement of the picture may

slow and the picture may darken. The picture will return to

normal once the temperature rises.

You may see small black or shiny dots in the liquid crystal

panel. These non-conforming pixels are normal and do not

indicate a product defect.

2. USING THE MONITOR

These monitors are components in a full audio/video system

that may include a VCR, DVD player, game player, camcorder,

or other video source unit.

Note:

If you have any questions about compatible components,

such as system controllers, source units, FM modulators, or

other audio/video products, please contact your authorized

Clarion dealer.

To operate the monitor, the vehicle ignition key switch must be

in the ACC or ON (run) position.

ACC or engine

WARNING!

To prevent the battery from going dead,

always operate this unit with the engine

running, if possible.

The video source unit (such as a DVD player) may turn on

automatically when you turn the ignition on.

(Configuration 1—both monitors play the same video or

game).

Playing a video or game

The monitor is preset at the factory to turn on automatically

when you start your car’s ignition. The monitor remains dark

until it detects a video signal.

1. Insert the media (tape, cartridge, game or disc) into the

video source.

2. Turn on the headphones.

headphones have fresh batteries installed.

5. Adjust the volume on your headphones.

Notes:

•

When using a DVD player as the source, make sure that the

unit’s output mode is set to “Wide” or “16:9.”This ensures

that the DVD player will generate a video signal, which can

take advantage of the monitor’s aspect ratio.

•

When using a source that generates a “normal”, 4:3 image

signal, such as a videogame or videocassette player, the

WIDE

button stretches the image to fit the screen.Some

minor image distortion may be visible.

Adjusting the picture

If the temperature is normal and the picture still doesn’t look

right, you may adjust the tint, color, brightness, and contrast.

1. Press PICTURE to display the adjustment menus.

The monitor displays the adjustment menus.

2. Press PICTURE again until you reach the option you wish to

adjust.

The monitor displays the adjustment bar:

TINT adjusts the overall color of the monitor.

COLOR adjust the way each color displays.

BRIGHT adjusts the monitor’s brightness.

CONTRAST adjusts the differences between light and dark

areas.

3. Press the plus (+) end of the picture controls button to

increase the adjustment.

Press the minus (-) end of the picture controls button to

decrease the adjustment.

10 VMA543 and VMA743

Each setting has 30 steps of adjustment range and is

preset at the factory to 15.

Once you’ve adjusted the picture, wait a moment and the

adjustment menus disappear.

Turning the unit off and on

Press POWER at any time to turn the unit off.

When you turn the vehicle’s ignition off, the monitor automati-

cally shuts off.

Switching between video sources

If your vehicle has two video sources, for example, a DVD

player and a game console, you can easily switch between

them.

1. Press SOURCE.

The monitor displays AUX1.

2. Press SOURCE again to select AUX2.

Note:

If you’re using only one video source, the screen remains

dark when you select the unavailable source.

Playing two videos or games at once

If your vehicle is equipped with two LCD monitors in the

headrests and two video source units, two different videos or

games can play at the same time.

Each monitor transmits the infrared audio signal over its own

channel, A or B. When a vehicle has two monitors, the default

is to configure the monitor in the driver’s headrest to use IR

channel A, and the monitor in the passanger’s headrest to use

IR channel B. You can change this.

1. Press PICTURE several times to locate the IR CH option.

2. Press plus (+) or minus (+) to alternate between A and B.

Note:

You don’t need to select the IR channel if your vehicle has

only one monitor or only one video source.

Changing the video output mode

1. Press PICTURE several times to locate the VIDEOSYS

option.

2. Press plus (+) or minus (+) to alternate between NTSC and

PAL.
