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, the LCM1041TV should never be installed where it will be visible, directly or indirectly,
by the operator of the motor vehicle.
Please note that the state of Rhode Island forbids the installation of such a device in a motor vehicle.
Television Reception
This entertainment system is designed primarily for viewing pre-recorded movies or playing video
games. Television reception in a moving vehicle will be limited and in some areas will not be possible
due to weak and variable signal strength. Television viewing in a stationary vehicle will result in an
improvement, but may still be marginal due to strength. The quality of the picture will not be consistent
with home TV reception. Reception may be affected by the weather and distance from the TV station. A
weak signal may cause the picture to roll, be snowy, or cause some color loss.
Congratulations on your purchase of the Flexvision LCM1041TV drop down TV/Video monitor. The
LCM1041TV has been designed to give you and your family many years of video entertainment in the
mobile environment. Please read the directions that follow to familiarize yourself with the product and to
ensure that you obtain the best results from your equipment. Please note: Installation options vary, see
the individual owner’s manuals for each component in your system to obtain a full understanding of
each component’s operation.
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 seat belts to change tapes or make adjustments to the system.
System adjustments can be accomplished using the remote control unit, while seat belts remain

fastened. Enjoy your Flexvision entertainment system but remember- safety of all passengers remains
the number one priority.

Remote Sensor
The LCM1041TV incorporates an infrared sensor, which relays the signals from the remote control to
allow the LCM1041TV and VCP to be controlled simply by pointing it’s remote control at the remote
sensor. This provides control of auxiliary equipment such as a Flexvision Video Cassette Player. The
infrared sensor can relay signals from any manufacturer’s remote control to it’s 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.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
Wireless Headphones
The LCM1041TV includes a RF transmitter (P/N WTXRF02) for use with optional Flexvision wireless
headphones. Tuning the headphone switch on, and wearing them activates the internal micro switch,
(which includes a tuning knob to tune into the preset frequency on the RF transmitter), which will activate
the internal RF receiver. The volume can be adjusted separately with the controls on the headset. See
the documentation accompanying your Flexvision wireless headphones.

Auxiliary A/V Stereo Inputs Jack
The LCM1041TV may be equipped with an auxiliary A/V stereo input connector (optional).
These inputs are provided to facilitate the temporary connection of optional audio/video equipment, such
as a camcorder or video game system. To play a source with these inputs, an RCA patch cord is
required to connect the audio/video signals to their respective jacks. Mono audio sources will require
the use of an RCA Y-cable (P/N 0892165) to connect to both right and left inputs. If patch cords are
installed into the AUX inputs, the AUX INPUT 2 will be temporarily bypassed. Once the connections
have been made, turn the LCM1041TV on and press the source button on the LCM1041TV or the
TV/Video button on the remote control until “Video 2” is displayed on the screen. The unit will now play
the audio and video signals from the accessory connected. The remote control will not operate the
accessory components.
Wired FM Modulator (P/N 0190730)
Your video system may be equipped with an RF modulator, that allows you to listen to the LCM1041TV’s
audio signal by tuning your vehicle’s radio to the selected frequency, (88.7 or 89.1- check with your
installer) and tuning on the remote mounted RF modulator switch. (In most cases this toggle switch will
be located underneath the driver’s side of the dash, check with your installer for the exact location.)
Whenever the RF modulator is on, broadcast radio reception will be poor. Turning the remote mounted
toggle switch off will allow for normal radio reception.
Video Output
The LCM1041TV provides a video output for an optional video monitor(s). This output will provide a
video signal that duplicates the signal displayed by the LCM1041TV to an additional monitor or video
display. Please see your installer for more information.

Flexvision Video Cassette Player (Aux Video 1)
In most installations a VCP will be connected to the “Video 1” input. To view a video cassette, turn the
AVP7000/ AVP7285 on and press the source button on its control panel or the TV/Video button on the
remote control unit until “Video 1” is displayed on the screen. The VCP may also be operated with the
remote control or the buttons on its face. Inserting a tape into the VCP will turn it on and automatically
activate the play mode. If a rewound tape had been loaded into the VCP, prior to its activation press
play on the VCP or the remote control to view the tape. For more information see the owner’s manual
accompanying your VCP.
