The VDH910 automatically adjusts tracking while playing a cassette. Dew/Heat Protection System to warn of condensation and high internal temperatures. About The Manual And Warranty To start enjoying your new Clarion VDH910, please read the remaining instructions listed in this manual. Keep all instructions for future reference. This product is covered by a limited warranty (see the enclosed warranty card). Save the sales receipt to protect your purchase and aid in warranty service. 2

OWNER S MANUAL/INSTALLATION GUIDE CARE AND MAINTENANCE VCR Care Use a dry cloth when dusting your VCR. Take care of your remote control. Keep the remote with your cassettes, where it is unlikely to be lost or damaged. Keep liquids away from your VCR, including beverages and cleaning liquids. Spilling any liquid on the VCR can damage the electronics, resulting in an electrical shock or fire. If the unit or remote control should become wet, turn off all power and let your authorized Clarion Dealer clean or service the equipment. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN OR SERVICE THE UNIT OR REMOTE CONTROL. THE INTERNAL PARTS ARE NOT USER-SERVICEABLE. DOING SO WILL VOID THE WARRANTY. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners that can accidentally get into the VCR causing damage or creating a fire hazard. Do not allow coins, cleaning cloths, papers and other objects to be pushed into the cassette slot. These objects could connect with a voltage point inside the VCR and cause an electrical shock, or may short out parts causing unit failure or fire. Head Cleaning Over time the picture may become blurred, interrupted, or noisy. If dirt has accumulated on the video heads the unit may require cleaning. You can verify this symptom by playing several different videocassettes. If the problem is the same, then the heads need to be cleaned. Please consult your nearest Clarion Dealer for recommendations on cleaning products and service. Operation Precautions Do not subject the unit to direct sunlight or an extremely hot environment (e.g., closed windows on a hot summer day, direct path of heater vent, etc.). Avoid using the unit under the following conditions: After extended parking on an extremely hot or cold day. Near strong magnetic fields. 3

VDH910 VIDEOCASSETTE PLAYER/RECORDER In an environment with excessive humidity, dust, or vibration (e.g., off-road travel, etc.). If the unit has accumulated moisture condensation (e.g., after parking the vehicle outside overnight), allow the unit to automatically remove it through a built-in Dew/Heat sensor. See Dew/Heat Sensor Operation. Videocassette Use Use only high quality VHS-type (T-30, T-60, or T-120) videocassettes that last longer and provide a better picture. Always rewind your videocassettes to help maintain tape quality and tape life. Do not directly touch the magnetic tape surface. Do not splice or disassemble a videocassette. Playing these cassettes may cause damage to the VCR or its tape heads. Avoid exposing a videocassette to direct sunlight and keep it away from heat sources (e.g., heater vent). Avoid extreme environments such as high humidity, excessive vibrations or jarring, strong magnetic fields (e.g., speaker magnet, etc.) and dust. Always place a videocassette back in its case after use. DEW/HEAT SENSOR OPERATION The VDH910 is equipped with a built-in Dew/Heat circuit that automatically detects for moisture condensation and high internal temperature. When activated, the Dew/Heat Indicator will flash and DEW/HEAT is displayed on the TV screen. While active, the Dew/Heat Sensor circuit will inhibit the drive section to avoid damaging heads due to sticking tape or high internal temperatures that can cause tape damage. The unit will be powered on, but it will not accept a videocassette. NOTE: If a videocassette was left in the VDH910, press EJECT to avoid damaging the tape during this procedure. If moisture is the problem, leave the power on so the unit can warm up and dry any accumulated moisture. When the Dew/Heat Indicator stops flashing, the unit will return to full operation. 4
