Installation
Please begin by unpacking the contents of your MV1-A
and checking that all the necessary components are
included as specified on the ’Contents’ list on page 4.
You will then need to connect the MVAV-S Audio/Video
Selector. Unzip the base of the Microvision rucksack to
reveal the back of the Video Cassette Player and
connect the RCA loom provided to the Audio/Video Out
sockets of the Video, matching Yellow to Yellow and
White to White.
Then connect the other end of the RCA cable to the
Video In sockets on the rear of the MVAV-S unit, again
matching colour to colour.
(Please note that as
the Video Cassette
Player supplied with
the MV1 is mono,
the Red Audio
input socket can
be ignored).

rear of the Audio/Video Selector again matching White to
White and Yellow to Yellow. When connected place
selector unit in the base of the rucksack.
Then attach the 12V power cable from the same looms
to the 12V 3 way power cable supplied with your MV1 In
Car Cinema system
Please note: Do not plug the 12V 3 way power cable
into your vehicles cigarette lighter socket before

Take the two velcro straps and attach them to the headrest
ensuring that the ’female’ sides of the plastic connectors
are positioned to the top of the headrest in a horizontal
position as indicated in Picture A. Secure the monitor to
the headrest straps by connecting the male sides of the
plastic connectors on the monitor ’sock’, to the female
sides of the plastic connectors on the headrest straps as
indicated in Picture B. The headrest straps may be
moved round to adjust the viewing height of the monitor
if required.
Once you have ensured that
each monitor is firmly attached,
connect the Audio/Video &
12V Power looms already
connected to the 1 and 2 Out
sockets of the MVAV-S
switching unit, to each monitor.
Plug the Audio/Video adaptor
in to the Audio/Video In socket
and plug the 12V Power
adaptor into the 12V DC input
socket as indicated in picture C.
Please note that it is essential for the safety of both
the passengers and the driver that the MV1 rucksack
and either monitor are securely positioned and are not
mounted in such a way that they could cause injury,
should the vehicle be involved in an accident or be
forced to stop or change direction in an emergency.

Next run the 12V Power Cable to the nearest cigarette
lighter socket and plug it in securely. Please note that the
nearest socket may be in the front of the vehicle, so care
must be taken to ensure that the cable does not interfere
with any of the vehicles controls and does not jeopardise
either the passengers or drivers safety.
Finally if you wish to use the
headphones provided, plug them
in to the headphone input socket
of the monitor.
Your Microvision MV 1 In Car Cinema System is now
ready for use! Adjust the Brightness control to obtain the
best picture quality.
Please Note: Do not start the vehicle whilst your In
Car Cinema system is plugged into the vehicles
cigarette lighter socket. The cigarette lighter socket
is prone to power surges as the vehicle is started
that may cause permanent damage to the unit.

Important Please Read!
It is imperative that when installing your Microvision
In Car Cinema System, you follow all the safety
guidelines specified in both the Video Cassette
Player Operation Manual as well as those specified
in the Installation guide of this manual. Ensure that
both the Video cassette Player and the LCD Monitor
are fastened securely in place and are not in a
position where they might endanger either the
passengers or driver of the vehicle. Please note that
the Monitor should be positioned so that it can only
be viewed by a passenger or passengers of the vehicle
and in no circumstances whatsoever should it be
viewed by the driver whilst the vehicle is in motion.
To prevent possible battery drain do not leave your
Microvision In Car Cinema System plugged in to the
cigarette lighter socket while the unit is not in use
and when the vehicles engine is not running. Only
use the Power and Audio/Video looms provided with
this system, use of unauthorised Power and
Audio/Video looms could invalidate the warranty.
Remember: Do not leave a video tape in the Video
Cassette Player as doing so could damage the tape
and impair quality.
