Reviewing this owners manual thoroughly prior to operation will provide you with the best performance and help explain the simple requirements for proper care. Important Safety Information:
This video product is designed and intended for positioning in back seating areas of a vehicle where it cannot be viewed directly or indirectly by the driver and possibly cause him/her to be distracted from the task of operating the vehicle. Driver distraction is a major cause of accidents and for this reason many states specifically prohibit the viewing of motion video within view of the driver while the vehicle is in motion. For safety reasons, when changing discs it is recommended that the vehicle be stationary, and that you do not allow chil-
dren to unfasten seat belts to change discs or make any adjustments te-the-systent:
accomplished using the remote control unit. Enjoy your Vizualogic All-In-One System but re
