The VIDEONOW™* COLOR FX Personal Video Player is a handheld, portable device designed for playing kid-friendly "mini" (108 mm) Personal Video Discs (PVDs). It offers a vibrant and stylish way to enjoy a wide variety of high-quality videos on the go. The player comes in a burst of colors, combining high-tech functionality with a fashionable aesthetic, making it a part of your personal style.

Function Description

The primary function of the VIDEONOW™* COLOR FX Personal Video Player is to play personal video discs. It is specifically designed to work with VIDEONOW PVDs, including both black & white and color PVDs. However, it's important to note that black & white PVDs will not play in color on this device.

The player features a screen for video display and integrated controls for playback management. It includes a speaker for audio output, and a headphone jack is provided for private listening, though headphones are not included with the player. For car use, a VIDEONOW Color Car Adaptor (sold separately) can be plugged into the DC Power Jack, bypassing the need for standard batteries.

Usage Features

Getting Started:

To begin using the player, first ensure batteries are properly inserted. The player requires three 1.5V "AA" or LR6 size alkaline batteries. A Phillips/cross head screwdriver is needed to loosen the screw on the battery compartment cover. Once the batteries are in place, replace the cover and tighten the screw.

Inserting and Removing PVDs:

To open the player, press the "Open" button. Insert a PVD into the player, similar to a standard compact disc, ensuring it snaps securely onto the center spindle. Gently close the lid until you hear a click. To remove a PVD, place your forefinger on the center spindle while your thumb rests on the edge of the disc, then gently lift the disc up and out of the player.

Playback Controls:

Play/Pause: Press the "Play/Pause" button once to start playing a video. Press it again to pause, and press it a third time to resume play.
Stop: To stop your video, simply press the "Stop" button.
Next Video: To jump to the next video in the sequence, press the "Next" button.
Previous Video/Track: Press the "Previous" button once to return to the beginning of the current track. Press it twice to go back to the track before the one you are currently watching.
Fast-Forward: To fast-forward through a video, press and hold down the "Next" button. This will initiate fast-forward at 2x the current speed. To increase the speed to 4x, continue holding the "Next" button for an additional two seconds. The video will begin playing at the point where you release the button. For B&W discs and special "extended play" color discs, fast-forward speeds will be 4x and 8x.
Fast-Rewind: To fast-rewind through a video, press and hold down the "Previous" button. This will initiate fast-reverse at 2x the current speed. To increase the speed to 4x, continue holding the "Previous" button for an additional two seconds. The video will begin playing at the point where you release the button.

Picture and Sound Adjustment:

Contrast Control: Turn the "Contrast" dial to clarify the picture quality to your preference.
Volume Control: Turn the "Volume" dial to adjust the level of sound output.

Maintenance Features

Battery Management:

Correct Insertion: Always insert batteries correctly, matching the + and – polarity markings, and follow the toy and battery manufacturers' instructions.
Avoid Mixing Batteries: Do not mix old and new batteries, or alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), and rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.
Remove Weak/Dead Batteries: Always remove weak or dead batteries from the product promptly.
Long-Term Storage: If the product will not be played with for a long time, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.
Short-Circuit Prevention: Do not short-circuit the supply terminals.
Rechargeable Batteries: If using rechargeable batteries, do not mix them with other battery types. Always remove them from the product before recharging, and recharge under adult supervision. Do not attempt to recharge other types of batteries.
Low Battery Indicator: An icon of a battery with an exclamation point will appear in the upper left corner of the screen when batteries are running low. The screen will shut off or the player will shut down when batteries run out, indicating it's time to replace them with new 3 x 1.5V "AA" or LR6 size alkaline batteries.

Troubleshooting Guide:

Player Skips: The hi-tech Color VIDEONOW Player is sensitive and may skip due to sudden movements. However, it is designed to continue playing your videos from where it left off.
Player Freezes Up: If the player freezes, you will need to reset it. To do this, simply remove the existing batteries from the player and reinsert them.
Video Not Visible, Sound Audible: If you can hear sound but not see video during playback, replace your batteries with new 3 x 1.5V "AA" or LR6 size alkaline batteries.
Player Shuts Off After Clock Appears: If the player turns on but shuts off after the clock comes up, replace your batteries with new 3 x 1.5V "AA" or LR6 size alkaline batteries.

FCC Compliance and Interference:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with Class B digital device limits under Part 15 of the FCC Rules, designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. If the product causes or is affected by local electrical interference, move it away from other electrical equipment. Resetting the device (by switching off and back on, or removing and re-inserting batteries) may also resolve interference issues. If interference persists, measures such as reorienting the receiving antenna, increasing separation between equipment and receiver, or consulting a dealer or experienced radio/TV technician are recommended.
