IMPORTANT
An LCD panel and/or video monitor may be installed in a motor vehicle and visible to
the driver if the LCD panel or video monitor is used for vehicle information, system
control, rear or side observation or navigation. If the LCD panel or video monitor is used
for television reception, video or DVD play, the LCD panel or video monitor must be
installed so that these features will only function when the vehicle is in ‘park’ or when
the vehicle’s parking brake is applied.
An LCD panel or video monitor used for television reception, video or DVD play that
operates when the vehicle is in gear or when the parking brake is not applied, must be
installed to the rear of the driver’s seat where it will not be visible, directly or indirectly,
to the operator of the motor vehicle.
Warnings
t Do not use any solvents or cleaning materials when cleaning the video system.
tDo not use any abrasive cleaners, they may scratch the screen. Use only a
lightly dampened lint free cloth to wipe the screen if it is dirty.
tLock the LCD screen in the fully closed position when not in use.
tBefore putting on headphones always adjust the volume setting to the lowest position.
tRemember to leave the dome light switch in the off or auto positions when the
vehicle is unattended, as the dome lights, if left on, can drain the vehicle’s battery.
tDo not put pressure on the screen.
tCaution children to avoid touching or scratching the screen, as it may become dirty
or damaged. Safety Precaution
For safety reasons, when changing video tapes it is recommended that the vehicle is
not in motion, and that you do not allow children to unfasten seatbelts to change tapes
or make any adjustments to the system. System adjustments can be accomplished
using the remote control unit, while seatbelts remain fastened. Enjoy your Movies 2 Go

REMOTE SENSOR
The MM701 incorporates an Infrared sensor which relays signals from the remote
control to allow an auxiliary source to be controlled simply by pointing its remote
control at the remote sensor eye. This provides control of auxiliary equipment
such as a Video Cassette Player or DVD Player. The infrared sensor can relay
signals from most manufacturer’s remote control to its respective component
connected to the Video 1 and 2 inputs, such as a DVD player. In this case you must
use the remote control supplied with the DVD player.
