Introduction 5

DVD Disc Menus...

Some explanations in this manual describe DVD Disc menus. DVD manufacturers set
the menus, which vary among DVDs. All DVDs do not have menus. If the DVD has a
menu, access it by pressing the DISC MENU button on the remote control.

Details are on page 51.

Setup Menus...

Some instructions explain how to use the setup menus of the TV/VCR/DVD. There are
two setup menus: one for the TV/VCR features while the unit is in TV/VCR mode, and
one for the Disc features while the unit is in DVD mode. Access the setup menus by
pressing SETUP on the remote control.
While in TV/VCR mode, you can select only the TV/VCR SETUP menu.
In DVD mode, you can select both the TV/VCR SETUP menu and the SETUP menu for
the unit’s DVD Player. Press the SETUP button once to select the TV/VCR SETUP
menu. Press SETUP twice to get to the DVD Player’s SETUP menu.
Even if you set a DVD feature in the unit’s SETUP menu, it will not be available if the
current Disc does not include that feature.

Available Disc Features...

All features described in this manual are not available on every Disc. If
the feature is not available on the Disc, you cannot use the
TV/VCR/DVD to make it available.
An “X” will appear in the top right corner of the screen if you try to
access a feature that is not available.
For example, some features are available only during play, while others
are available only if play is stopped. If you cannot access a feature, try
stopping or starting play, then try the feature again.

Playable Discs

The DVD Player of this TV/VCR/DVD will play many types of Discs, including Digital
Video Discs (DVDs) and Audio Compact Discs (CDs). It will play MP3 and JPEG files as
well.
To play a DVD, make sure it meets the requirements for Region Codes and Color
Systems as described below. Discs that have the following logos will play on the DVD
Player of this TV/VCR/DVD. Finalize CD-R, CD-RW, DVD+R, and DVD+RW Discs
before playing them in the TV/VCR/DVD.

DVD: Prerecorded Digital
Video Discs

CD-R: Compact Disc
Recordable. CD-Rs can be

Region Codes

This TV/VCR/DVD has a Region One (1) DVD Player. DVDs must be labeled for ALL
regions or for Region 1 in order to play on the unit. You cannot play DVDs that are
labeled for other regions. Look for the symbols below on your DVDs. If these region
symbols do not appear on your DVD, you cannot play the DVD in this TV/VCR/DVD.

The number inside the globe refers to a region of the world. Region 1 represents the
United States, Canada, upper regions of North America, Bermuda, the U.S. Virgin
Islands, and small regions near Australia.
A DVD labelled for a specific region can only play on DVD Players with the same
region code.

Color Systems

DVDs are recorded in different color systems throughout the world. The most com­mon color systems are NTSC (which is used primarily in the United States and
North America), PAL, and SECAM.
The DVD Player of this unit uses NTSC, so DVDs you play must be recorded in the
NTSC color system. You cannot play DVDs recorded in other formats. The color
system of the DVD may be listed on the DVD or on the Disc case.

Videotapes

Magnavox recommends you use only videotapes that have the mark. Other
videotapes may have poor picture quality and cause excessive deposits on the video
heads. The warranty may not cover such damage.
The VCR of this TV/VCR/DVD has a High Quality (HQ) system and is compatible
with existing Video Home System (VHS) equipment.

10 Optional Connections

Digital Stereo Hookups

You can connect the TV/VCR/DVD to a Stereo
that has a Digital Coaxial In jack. Use this
hookup if you want to hear the TV/VCR/DVD
sound through the Stereo instead. Use these
connections for a Dolby Digital-compatible
Stereo or for a Receiver that has a Mini-Disc
or Digital Audio Tape deck.

Connect the antenna/Cable TV
signal. Details are on pages eight-nine.

Connect a digital audio coaxial
cable (not supplied) to the AUDIO

2

OUT COAXIAL jack on the
TV/VCR/DVD.
Also connect the cable to the
Stereo’s COAXIAL DIGITAL
AUDIO IN jack.

If the Stereo is Dolby Digital-com­patible, set DOLBY DIGITAL to

3

ON. If the Stereo is not Dolby Digital­compatible or if you connected to a
Mini-Disc or Digital Audio Tape Deck,
set DOLBY DIGITAL to OFF. Details are

on page 72.

An incorrect setting causes noise distor­tion and damages speakers.
To see if your Stereo has Dolby Digital,
look for a Dolby Digital logo on your
Stereo. Or, refer to the Stereo owner’s
manual.
