Video Cassette Player (VCP)

Video Cassette Player (VCP):

The VCP can playback VHS-format video cassettes (T-30, T-60, T-120, T-160, or T-180). The VCP does not have a recording function.

The VCP can be controlled either by the buttons on its face, or by the infrared remote control. The VCP features include:
^ 4-head Hi-Fi stereo for high-quality playback of VHS tapes.

IMPORTANT: The entertainment system is compatible only with tapes meeting the standards of the NTSC (National Television Standards Committee). This is the standard used primarily in the U.S. video tapes meeting other standards such as PAL and SECAM, which are found in parts of Canada and Europe, will result in video that is only black and white, or distorted. Do not use these tapes.

^ 2-speed playback of Slow Play (SP) and Extended Play (EP) video cassettes.
^ 2-step forward/reverse picture search for quick location of a desired video segment at 3 or 7 time SP speed.
^ Auto rewind and repeat functions.
^ Dew sensor to warn of condensation in the player mechanism.

IMPORTANT: Removing a video tape from the VCP when it is not in use, is recommended.

When the ignition switch is in the ACCESSORY or RUN position, the VCP can be powered on independently from the in-dash audio system, even if a video is not playing. As with any of your vehicle's other electrical features, this can drain the vehicle's battery if the engine is not running. Powering on the VCP can be accomplished by pressing the POWER button on either the VCM or the remote, inserting but not necessarily playing the video, or, if a tape is already in the VCP, by pressing PLAY, REW, or FF.
