Safety Precautions

Warning: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this equipment to rain or moisture. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Warning: Any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment void the user’s authority to operate it. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Magnavox recommends you use only video cassette tapes that have the

mark. Other tapes may cause poor picture quality and excessive deposits on the video heads that the warranty may not cover if damage occurs. This TV/VCR has a High Quality (HQ) system and is compatible with existing Video Home System (VHS) equipment. Note to the Cable TV System Installer: This reminder calls the Cable TV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical Code, which provides guidelines for proper grounding – in particular, specifying that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as possible.

12 Setting the Clock

• Entries that do not match the TV/VCR’s calendar will cause a question mark (?) to appear on the screen.

• To make corrections while you are setting the clock, press the CLEAR button until the space for the number you want to correct is flashing. Then enter the correct number.

Helpful Hints

There are three ways to set the clock: Manually, with Automatic PBS Channel Selection, or with Manual PBS Channel Selection. With manual clock setting, you tell the TV/VCR the current time. With Automatic or Manual PBS Channel Selection, the TV/VCR gets the time from your local PBS station. If you use either Manual PBS Channel Selection or Automatic PBS Channel Selection, follow the steps on page 19 to have the TV/VCR maintain the clock according to your Time Zone.

Cable Box users must set the clock manually.

To set the clock manually, follow the steps on pages 12-13. To set the clock using Automatic PBS Channel Selection, follow the steps on pages 14-15. To set the clock using Manual PBS Channel Selection, follow the steps on pages 16-17. Before you begin, make sure:

● You have connected and turned on the TV/VCR. Details

are on pages six-eight.

● Channels are set. Details are on page 10.

● You make each entry within 60 seconds of the previous

entry.

SmartLock enables parents to prevent their children from watching inappropriate material on TV. SmartLock reads the ratings for programming (except for news and sports programs, unedited movies on premium cable channels, and Emergency Broadcast System signals), then denies access to programming if the program’s rating meets or exceeds the limitations you select. The ratings are defined on page 45. To block ratings, follow the steps below.

• If the “Incorrect Access Code...” message appears after step 3, enter the correct access code.

• Programming may be rated by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) or according to the Television Parental Guidelines. In order to block any inappropriate programming, set your limits in both places (Movie Ratings and Parental Guidelines). You will complete steps 1-7 twice, choosing Movie Ratings at step 5 the first time, then choosing Parental Guidelines at step 5 the second time.

• You cannot view tape playback if the rating of the tape is blocked.

• If you enter the access code once, you may change channels without seeing the “CHANNEL XX BLOCKED” message again. If you turn off the TV/VCR power, you will be asked for the access code again when you tune to a blocked channel.

When you watch a program that has closed captions, you can access on-screen boxes containing the program’s dialogue (for example, what a character is saying), dialogue in a foreign language, or information (such as a channel guide, schedule, or announcements). Follow the steps below to select closed captions. Not all TV programs and commercials have closed captions. Similarly, all types of closed captions (second language, halfscreen text, etc.) are not always broadcast. If closed captioning is not broadcast, you cannot receive it. This does not indicate a problem with the TV/VCR. Refer to your area’s TV program listings for shows with closed captions.

Press the MENU button.

Press the PLAY/▲ button or the STOP/▼ button to select CAPTION.

Press the REW(ind)/{ button or the F.FWD/B button to select your desired closed caption mode.

The selected closed caption mode will appear beside CAPTION on the screen.

a character is saying).

● CAPTION2 displays foreign language closed cap-

tions (foreign language words showing what a character is saying).

● TEXT1 and TEXT2 display half-screen text (such as

a channel guide, schedule, or announcement).

● OFF turns off closed captions. Captions will not

appear on the screen.

MC132DMG/MC192DMG 3/22/02 1:21 PM Page 50

Closed Caption (cont’d) 51

• You cannot view closed captions during recording or tape playback if COUNTER ONLY is ON. Details are on page 26.

• Abbreviations, symbols, and other grammatical shortcuts are often used in order to keep pace with the on-screen action. This does not indicate a problem with the TV/VCR.

• To cancel closed captions, follow steps 1-2 on page 50. At step 3, press the REW(ind)/{ button or the F.FWD/B button to select OFF. Press the STATUS/EXIT button.

• When you change channels, the closed captions may be delayed for a few seconds.

52 Automatic Operation Features

The following playback features will always operate.

Automatic Playback

When you put a tape in the TV/VCR, the power will come on automatically. If the tape’s record tab is missing, playback will begin. If a timer recording is set, the power will not come on automatically when you insert a tape with the record tab intact. If a timer recording is set and the TV/VCR power is off, the TV/VCR will eject the tape if the record tab is missing.

Automatic Rewind, Eject, Off

When you play, fast forward, or record a tape to its end, the TV/VCR will rewind the tape, stop, turn itself off, and eject the tape. If a real-time counter memory is set, the TV/VCR may only rewind the tape to the point at which the real-time counter is set to zero. In this case, the TV/VCR will not turn itself off or eject the tape.

Tape Eject

A tape can be ejected with the TV/VCR power on or off (but the TV/VCR must be plugged in). If a timer recording is programmed, a tape cannot be ejected when the power is off. Turn on the TV/VCR power, then eject the tape. Be sure to insert a tape and turn off the TV/VCR power for the timer recording.

Automatic Tracking Adjustment

The TV/VCR automatically adjusts the tracking to give you the best possible picture quality. With some recordings, however, you may get a better picture using the manual tracking controls (see below).

Manual Tracking

To adjust the tracking manually, press the CHANNEL o/p buttons on the TV/VCR or the TRACKING / buttons on the remote control during playback. Your picture will improve similar to the example below. Automatic Tracking resumes when a tape is inserted or when the STOP/p button is pressed.
