7. Do not let the set become hot. If temperature in the car is high or the set has
been exposed to direct sunlight and is hot, lower the temperature before
using it. (The liquid crystal panel will work properly within a temperature
range of 30 – 113 degrees F.)

WIRING PRECAUTIONS
Read all wiring precautions. If you are not sure of the connections, contact
your authorized Clarion dealer.
1. Disconnect the negative (-) lead of the battery before making any power
connections.
2. When creating passage holes for the power wires, use grommets to
eliminate any sharp edges created during drilling. This will protect the wire
from being nicked and causing a short circuit.
3. When connecting the ground lead, fasten the ground lead (black) securely
to a clean metal plate on the vehicle.
NOTE: The OHM641 mointor displays video images only. It does not provide audio output. Refer to the
owner’s manual of the connected device for information on audio output.
INSTALLATION
The OHM641 is an overhead, fold-down 6.4” monitor with an Infrared (IR)
eye. It will accept a video signal from any video source with composite video
out. The IR eye will work directly with the TTX001, VDH9600 and DVD9600.
1. Look over the vehicle for a location for the monitor. Each vehicle is
different and locations will vary. Make sure the monitor will not interfere
with the dome light, wiring, water channels or sunroof operation. The
mounting bracket has slots to accomodate various dome light screw
patterns. In some cases, the vehicle dome light may need to be relocated.
2. Once a location has been determined, run the IR extension, video RCA and
power cables above the head liner to the mounting location.
3. Feed the cables through the hole in the mounting bracket and screw the
bracket to dome light mounting rib. Use short screws so as not to damage
the roof.

4. Place the gasket around the housing and plug the cables into the monitor.
Mount the housing to the mounting bracket with the 4 machine screws
provided.
5. You can now run the IR, power and video cables to their respective
destinations. If you’re using the VDH9600 or DVD9600, you can make all
of your connections there.

1. Pick a location to mount the tuner. Typically the tuner will be located close
to the VCP or DVD player.Avoid areas with excessive heat or moisture and
mount the tuner.
2. Mount the TV antenna (ZCB-303 or equivalent) and plug into the tuner.
3. Plug the 16 pin to A/V out connector into the tuner. Plug the A/V RCA
cables, IR extension and power plug into the 16 pin connector and run to
the video player.
4. Plug the A/V RCA cable into the A/V input of the player. Plug the Y
connector into the player and plug the IR extension into the Y connector.
5. At the OHM641, plug the IR extension and power cables supplied with the
OHM641. Run these cables to the back of the video player. Plug the video
RCA into the video output of the player. Plug the IR extension into the
other leg of the Y connector. Tie all the power wires together. These wires
will be run to the radio location.
6. Plug the audio RCA cable into the audio output of the player and run the
audio RCA and main power cables to the radio location. Remove the radio
and plug the audio RCA into the FM100S audio inputs.
7. Mount the switch for the FM100S and run its power wire to the radio
location. The power and ground wires of the TTX001, video player,
OHM641 and the FM100S can be joined and connected to the radio
accessory and ground wires.
8. Plug the vehicle antenna into the antenna input of the FM100S. Plug the
antenna output of the FM100S into the radio.
9. The FM 100S has a two position switch to select the modulation frequency.
Pick the frequency that has the least amount of radio reception and set that
frequency on the modulator and into a radio preset memory.
Operation
•
Similar to a home system, the VDH9600 allow their auxiliary A/V inputs to
loop through to their A/V outputs when they are not playing a video tape.
•
