4 Safety Information

Introduction 5

Welcome!

Your new Digital Video Disc Player provides high picture quality, clear sound, and endless playback features available on Digital Video Discs (DVDs). Add options to your DVD viewing - watch a director’s cut of a movie, listen to the producer’s comments, or play your favorite scene over and over again. The possibilities are limited only by your choices and the materials available on the DVD. You can listen to Audio Compact Discs and MP3 files on this Player, or view JPEG images. To get the most enjoyment from the Player, read this owner’s manual carefully. It describes how to access the features listed below.

Features

Disc Menus...

Some explanations in this manual describe the DVD Disc Menus. These menus are set by the movie producers and will vary among Discs. Not all Discs have menus. However, if the Disc has a menu, you can access it by pressing the MENU button on the remote control.

Details are on page 20.

DVD Player Setup Menus...

Some instructions explain how to use the Player’s Setup menu to set features of the DVD Player or the Disc. Access the Setup menu by pressing SETUP on the remote when Disc play is stopped. Even if a feature is set in the Player’s menu, it may not be available if the current Disc does not include that feature.

Available Disc Features...

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

Region Codes

DVDs must be labeled for ALL regions or for Region 1 in order to play on this DVD Player. You can not 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 Player.

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 Disc encoded in a specific region format can only play on DVD Players with the same region code. For example, if a Disc is labeled for Region 2, you cannot play the DVD on this Player.

Color Systems

Different color systems are available throughout the world. The most common color systems are NTSC, which is used primarily in the United States and North America, PAL, and SECAM. This DVD Player uses the NTSC color system. Therefore, the Discs that you play must be recorded in the NTSC system. You cannot play Discs recorded in other formats. The color system of the DVD may be listed on the DVD or on the Disc case.

Unacceptable Discs

If you insert an unacceptable type of disc, “Please insert a playable disc” may appear on the TV screen. The following Discs will not play on this DVD Player.

• Compact Disc-Graphic (CD-G) • Compact Disc-Video (CD-V)

Audio of the following discs might play, but video will not be accessible.

Remote Control Setup 7

Using the Remote Control

Putting Batteries in the Remote Control

Remove the battery compartment lid on the bottom of the remote control by sliding the lid down and off, following the direction of the arrow on the lid.

Place two AA batteries inside the battery compartment with their +and –ends aligned as

indicated.

Replace the battery compartment lid.

Recycling Guidelines/Battery Safety

● Your new product and its packaging contain materials

that can be recycled and reused. Specialized companies can recycle your product to increase the amount that needs to be properly disposed. Your product uses batteries that should not be thrown away when depleted but should be disposed of as small chemical waste. Please find out about the local regulations on disposal of your old product, batteries, and packaging whenever you replace existing equipment.

● Battery Usage CAUTION - To prevent battery leak-

age that may result in bodily injury, property damage, or damage to the unit:

• Install ALL batteries correctly, with the + and markings on the battery aligned as indicated on the unit;

• Do not mix batteries, for example, old with new or carbon with alkaline; and

• Remove batteries when the unit will not be used for a long time.

8 Hookups

Depending on your TV and other equipment you wish to connect, there are various ways you could connect the DVD Player. Use only one of the connections described in the following pages.

Before you begin...

● Refer to the manuals of your TV, Stereo or other devices as necessary. Note the

style of jacks and connectors on the other equipment. Determine how to choose different Audio and Video In channels on your other equipment so you can see and hear the DVD Player on the TV, Stereo, etc.

● Disconnect all equipment from the power outlets. Connect the equipment to

the power outlets only after you have finished hooking up everything. Never make or change connections with equipment connected to the power outlet.

Determining the best possible connection...

Your hookup will be determined primarily by your existing equipment, especially your TV. However, the following guidelines describe which options have the best picture and sound quality.

★★★★ Component video provides the best picture quality. ★★★ S-Video provides excellent picture quality. ★★ The yellow Video jack provides good picture quality. ★★ If your TV has a single RF-style jack, usually labelled Antenna In

or 75 ohm, you will need an RF adapter in order to connect the DVD Player to the TV. Ask your electronics retailer for details. The

DVD picture still will exceed the quality of videotapes and other analog recordings. Details are on page nine.

★★★★ Digital audio connections provide the clearest sound. Connect the DVD

Player’s COAXIAL jack to your Stereo for the best sound.

★★★ If digital connections are not possible, connect the DVD Player’s red and

white AUDIO OUT jacks to the Audio In jacks of your Stereo or TV.

Remember...

● Connect the DVD Player directly to the TV. For example, do not connect the

Player to a VCR, then connect the VCR to a TV. This type of connection may distort the picture and sound. Also, your VCR might have the copy protection system, which could further distort the DVD image.

● Set the TV to the correct Video In channel. Such channels may be called

AUX or AUXILIARY IN, AUDIO/VIDEO or A/V IN, EXT1 or EXT2 or External In, etc. These channels often are located near channel 00. See your TV owner’s manual for details. Or, go to your lowest TV channel (01 or 02) and change channels downward until you see the DVD logo or DVD playback on the TV screen. (The DVD Player must be on.) If you are using an RF modulator, set the TV to channel 3 or 4.

● Set the Stereo to the correct channel or “source” mode.

● Do not connect the DVD Player’s AUDIO OUT jacks to the PHONO IN

jack of your Stereo.

● Depending on your connection, you may need to purchase additional cables.

● You only need one audio connection and one video connection.

● If you do not connect the DVD Player to a Dolby Digital-compatible Stereo, set

DOLBY DIGITAL to OFF on the DVD Player. Details are on pages 14 and 37. Playing a Disc when the settings are wrong could distort the sound or damage the speakers.

Once you determine the best option, find your choice on pages 9-14. Follow the specific steps for the hookup you chose.

Before you begin, make sure you have an RF modulator and extra RF coaxial cables. These are not supplied with the Player, but are available from Magnavox or most consumer electronics retailers.

Connect the supplied video cable (yellow) to the Player’s yellow VIDEO OUT jack and to the VIDEO IN jack on the RF modulator. The VIDEO IN jack on the RF modulator is usu-

ally yellow and might be labelled VIDEO, CVBS, COMPOSITE, or BASEBAND.

Connect the supplied audio cable (red and white) to the Player’s red and white AUDIO OUT (left and right) jacks. Connect the other ends of the audio cable to the AUDIO IN jacks on the RF modulator. Audio jacks on the RF modulator usually are red (right) and white

(left). Match the cable colors to the jack colors.

You probably already have an Antenna or Cable TV signal connected to the ANTENNA IN jack on your TV. Disconnect it now from the TV. Reconnect the Antenna or Cable TV signal to

the ANTENNA IN jack on your RF modulator.

Connect an RF coaxial cable (not supplied) to the RF OUT, ANTENNA OUT, or TO TV jack on the RF modulator. The RF OUT jack may be labelled differently among different

brands. Refer to the instructions provided with your RF modulator.

Connect the other end of the same RF coaxial cable to the ANTENNA IN or RF IN jack on your Television.

Your RF Modulator should have a Channel 3/4 switch. The setting of this switch determines the TV channel on which you will watch materials playing on the DVD Player.

Set the RF Modulator’s Channel 3/4 switch to either 3 or 4, whichever TV channel is least used in your area. If your RF modulator has a Modulator/Antenna switch, set it accordingly.

Refer to the instructions that came with the RF Modulator. Turn on your TV and choose channel 3 or 4. Choose the same channel to which you set the

RF Modulator’s Channel 3/4 switch.

Connect the Player’s power cord to a power outlet. Press STANDBY-ON button to turn on the Player. If no Disc is in the Player, you should see the Player’s screen saver on the TV screen.

Helpful Hints

Playing a Disc 15

Before you begin, turn on the power of the TV, stereo, and any other equipment connected to the DVD Player. Make sure the TV and the stereo (if applicable) are set to the correct channel. Details are on pages 8-14.

Press STANDBY-ON to turn on the DVD Player. P-ON will appear briefly on the display

panel.

Press OPEN/CLOSE A to open the Disc tray.

Place a Disc into the tray. If the DVD is recorded on only one side, place the Disc in the tray with the label facing up and the shiny side facing down. Some DVDs are recorded on both sides. Make sure the label of the side you want to play is facing up.

Press Play B to close the tray. The tray will close and play will begin at the first Chapter or Track. If a DVD menu appears instead, see page 20. With some Audio CDs, playback will not begin unless you press Play B again. With MP3 and JPEG files, play will begin at Track 1 or when you select an item and press Play B. Details are

on page 29.

You also can close the tray by pressing OPEN/CLOSE A.

Press Stop C to stop playback.

Remember, this DVD Player

will play only certain Discs.

See page six for details.

• An “X” may appear in the top right corner of the TV screen when you try a feature. This means either the feature you tried is not available on the Disc, or the Player cannot access the feature at this time. This does not indicate a problem with the Player.

• If a Disc is dirty or has scratches, the pictures may appear distorted and play may stop. In such cases, remove the Disc and turn off the Player. Unplug the power cord, then reconnect it to the power outlet. Clean the Disc, then turn on the Player again and reinsert the Disc for playback.

• If a Disc has multiple layers, the picture may freeze occasionally. This happens when the first layer switches to the second layer. This is not a malfunction.
