Use only a lightly dampened lint free cloth to wipe the screen if it is dirty. Lock the LCD screen in the fully closed position when not in use. Before putting on headphones always adjust the volume setting to the lowest position.

Television Reception This entertainment system is designed primarily for viewing prerecorded 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 signal strength. The quality of the picture will not be consistent with home TV reception. Reception may be affected by weather and distance from TV station. A weak signal may cause the picture to roll, be snowy, or cause some color loss. Congratulations on your purchase of the Audiovox VOD1048 Overhead TV/Monitor with DVD Player. The VOD1048 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 components operation. Safety Precaution For safety reasons, when changing video media it is recommended that the vehicle is not in motion, and that you do not allow children to unfasten seat-belts to change video media or make any adjustments to the system.
