AIntroduction

Dear Magnavox customer,

Instruction manuals are usually very dry since they are technically-oriented and often poorly translated. I have been employed by Magnavox for this reason.

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Phil. I will be guiding you through the instruction manual and try to be of help in operating your new device. At appropriate points along the way, I will be providing you with the following information:

ENGLISH

(Question)?

Here I will be explaining seemingly unimportant things.

I hope you have lots of fun with your new DVD Recorder.

Tip

Here I will be giving you instructions on functions that help make it easier to use your DVD Recorder.

Problem

Here I will help you find the cause of problems and their solutions.

Phil

P.S. If you have questions or if problems come up during operation, please see the helpful information in the chapter 'Before you call technical support. If this doesn't help you resolve the problem, please call the customer support service for your country. The corresponding telephone numbers and e-mail addresses are listed in the warranty booklet provided.

Introduction

Welcome to the large family of Magnavox DVD owners.

Thank you for buying a MDV630R/MDV650R . Please take the time to read this owner's manual before using your DVD recorder. It contains important information and notes regarding operation. The DVD recorder should not be turned on immediately after transportation from a cold to a hot area or vice versa, or in conditions of extreme humidity. Wait at least three hours after transporting the device. The DVD recorder needs this to acclimate to its new environment (temperature, air humidity, etc.).

Your Magnavox team hopes you will enjoy using your new DVD recorder.

What is a DVD?

DVDs (Digital Video Discs) are the new storage medium that combines the convenience of the Compact Disc with the latest advanced digital video technology. DVD Video uses state-of-the-art MPEG2 data compression technology that allows an entire film to be put on a single 5-inch disc.

How high is the resolution compared to VHS?

The crystal-clear digital pictures have a resolution of over 500 lines, with 720 pixels (picture elements) per line. This resolution is more than double that of VHS and is superior to Laser Discs. The quality can be compared to digital masters made in recording studios.

What is DVD+RW?

DVD+ReWritable (DVD+RW) uses phase-change media, the same technology that formed the basis for CD-ReWritable. A high-power laser is used to change the reflectivity of the recording layer. This process means the disc can be recorded on more than a thousand times.

What is DVD+R?

DVD+R (recordable DVD). In contrast to DVD+RW, this disc can only be recorded once. If a disc has not been finalized after recording, it can continue to be recorded upon in the DVD Recorder. Old recordings can be later deleted, but they cannot be overwritten. The deleted titles are marked as 'Deleted title.' For this disc to be played in a DVD player, it must be 'finalized' in the DVD recorder. After this has been completed, no further recordings can be added.

What can my DVD recorder do?

Your Magnavox DVD recorder is a recorder and player for digital video discs, with a two-way compatibility to the universal DVD Video standard. This means that:

•)existing pre-recorded DVDs can be played.

•)recordings made on your DVD recorder can play on existing DVD Video players and DVD-ROM drives. In some cases, the discs may have to be finalized before they will play on other DVD players.

Introduction

Compatible discs

Using this DVD recorder, you can play and record on the following discs:

Recording and Playback

DVD+RW (Digital Versatile Disc + Rewritable); can be recorded on over and over.

DVD+R (Digital Versatile Disc + recordable); can be recorded on once.

Video CD (Formats 1.0, 1.1, 2.0)

Super Video CD

CD-R (CD-Recordable) Audio/MP3 contents

CD-RW (CD-Rewritable) Audio/MP3 contents

Introduction

Region codes

Because DVDs are not released at the same time in all regions of the world, all DVD players are keyed to a specific region code. Discs can be assigned an optional region code. If the region codes of the player and disc do not match, playback is not possible.

This device will only play Region 1 DVDs or DVDs manufactured to be played in all regions ('ALL'). DVDs from other regions cannot be played in this DVD recorder. The number within the globe represents the region of the world. Region 1 represents: U.S, Canada, upper regions of North America, Bermuda, U.S. Virgin Islands and smaller regions near Australia.

Introduction

Important notes regarding operation

Caution! Visible and invisible laser radiation. When open avoid exposure to beam.

Because of the danger of eye injury, only qualified service personnel should remove the cover or attempt to service this device.

LASER

Type: Semiconductor laser InGaAlP (DVD), AlGaAs (CD) Wavelength: 660nm (DVD), 780nm (CD) Output power (out of objective): 20mW (DVD+RW writing), 0.8mW (DVD reading), 0.3mW (CD reading). Beam divergence: 82 degrees (DVD), 54 degrees (CD)

Danger: High voltage! Do not open! There is a risk of an electrical shock!

The machine does not contain any components that can be repaired by the customer. Please leave all maintenance work to qualified personnel.

As soon as the DVD recorder is connected to the power supply, there are some components that are in constant operation. To switch off the DVD recorder completely you must disconnect it from the power supply.

ENGLISH

If you disconnect the DVD recorder from the power supply, pull out the power cord's plug from the wall outlet, not only the plug from the jack 4MAINS at the rear of the set. Children playing near the device could suffer injuries at the free end of the cable.

These operating instructions have been printed on non-polluting paper.

Deposit old batteries at the appropriate collection points.

Please make use of the facilities available in your country for disposing of the packaging in a way that helps to protect the environment.

This electronic device contains many materials that can be recycled. Please enquire about the possibilities for recycling your old device.

Introduction

In a cabinet, allow about 2.5 cm (1 inch) of free space around the recorder for adequate ventilation.

Make sure that air can circulate freely through the ventilation slots on the machine. Do not place the device on an unsteady base.

Make sure that no objects or liquids enter the recorder. Do not place vases or similar objects on the DVD recorder. If liquid spils into it, immediately disconnect the recorder from the power supply and call Magnavox for advice.

Keep the DVD recorder away from domestic heating equipment and other sources of heat, as well as direct sunlight.

Do not place any combustible objects on the device (candles, etc.).

Make sure children do not place any foreign objects into the openings or the disc tray.

Cleaning discs

Some problems occur because the disc inside the recorder is dirty (frozen picture, sound disruptions, picture distortions). To avoid these problems, discs should be cleaned on a regular basis.

When a disc is dirty, clean it with a soft cloth. Wipe the disc from the center to the edge in a straight line.

Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static sprays intended for analog discs.

Can I use a cleaning disc intended for DVD players?

Since the optical unit (laser) of the DVD recorder operates at a higher power than regular DVD or CD players, these kinds of cleaning CDs may damage the optical unit (laser).

Your MAGNAVOX DVD recorder has special functions that will make day-to-day use of your new DVD recorder easier for you.

This screen provides you with an overview of the inserted disc. Each index screen corresponds to a recording. At the right-hand side of the screen, a disc pointer is shows the duration and position on the disc of the selected recording.

MP3 files are highly compressed pieces of music. The amount of data of the original audio material is reduced by 1/10 of the original size using a special process. This enables you to fit up to 10 hours of music on a single CD. These kinds of music CDs can be played using this recorder.

Introduction

Normally, a new recording is made on the current location on the disc. This is the same with video cassettes. However, by holding down REC/OTR n , the new recording will be made after the last recording on the disc. This helps you avoid recording by mistake. New recordings on a DVD+R disc will always be added after the end of all recordings.

The Magnavox DVD recorder can play DVDs and CDs. DVDs made using this DVD recorder can be played in most other DVD players.

This is a standard from Dolby Laboratories for the transmission of 5.1 channel sound. This acoustical playback system is used to transmit five full channels. In addition, one channel is used exclusively for low frequencies (effects). Speakers are positioned at front left, center, and front right, as well as rear left and right. This system is currently the most common and is also used in movie theaters. This DVD recorder records each sound in two-channel Dolby Digital on a DVD+RW.

The remote control is now ready to use. Its range is approximately 16-32 feet (5 to 10 meters).

batteries).

Remove the battery compartment lid, insert the batteries as shown, then replace the battery compartment lid. Always install the +/- ends of the batteries as indicated inside the battery compartment.

Aim correctly

In the following sections, you require the remote control for the first time. When using, always aim the front of the remote control at the DVD recorder, and not at the TV.

Tip

Connecting your DVD recorder to the TV

The necessary cable connections must be made before you can record or playback TV programs using your DVD recorder.

Connect the DVD recorder directly to the TV. Connecting a video cassette recorder between the DVD recorder and the TV could result in poor picture quality because of the copy protection system built into the DVD recorder.

Connecting the DVD recorder

When you install your DVD recorder for the first time, select one of the following options:

'Connecting with Component Video (Y Cr Cb, YUV)

If your TV is equipped with Component Video (Y Cr Cb, YUV)

What is 'Component Video (Y PB PR)'?

It is a system for transmitting high-quality video by splitting the video signal into the Y (brightness), U and V (red minus brightness, blue minus brightness) components. The jacks for these cables are usually red, green, and blue.

ENGLISH

This connection provides a studio quality picture.

'Connecting with SVideo (Y/C)'

If your TV is equipped with a S-Video (SVHS) jack.

What is a 'SVideo (Y/C) cable'?

Also called a S-VHS cable, it is a video connection standard in which the Y signal and the C signal are transmitted separately. This mini-din jack/jack is also called a hosiden jack/jack.

'Connecting with a Video (CVBS) cable'

If your TV is equipped with a Video (CVBS) jack.

What is a 'Video (CVBS)' jack?

This typically yellow jack is used to transmit composite video signals (FBAS, CVBS). This system transmits the Y and C signals over the same line. In some cases, this can lead to picture distortions, or 'Moiré'.

'Connecting only with the antenna cable'

If you do not wish to use any other cable. You may use an antenna cable (RF coaxial) if you prefer or if your TV has only an Antenna In jack (no other audio and video in jacks). The TV's Antenna In jack may be labeled ANT IN, RF IN, 75 ohm, etc. Check your TV instructions for details.

Connecting the DVD recorder

Connecting with a Component Video (Y Pb Pr) cable

Have the following cables ready: an antenna cable (1 supplied), a power cable (2 supplied), a Component Video (Y PB PR) cable (3, red, green, blue jack) or a corresponding video-compatible cinch cable, an audio cable (4 supplied red/white jack).

Please note the color order

The colors of the jacks on the DVD recorder must match those on the TV (red-red/blue-blue/green-green). If they are not matched properly, this could cause the color of the picture to be reversed or there could be no picture at all.

Use the supplied audio cable and plug one end into the OUT

AUDIO LR jack at the back of the DVD Recorder (next to

OUT COMPONENT VIDEO ) and the other into the red/white

Audio In jacks of the TV (usually called Audio in', 'AV in'. Please see your TV's owner's manual).

This product must be carried in for repair.

WHO IS COVERED?

You must have proof of purchase to receive warranty service. A sales receipt or other document showing that you purchased the product is considered proof of purchase.

WHAT IS COVERED?

Warranty coverage begins the day you buy your product. For one year thereafter, all parts will be repaired or replaced, and labor is free. After one year from the day of purchase, you pay for the replacement or repair of all parts, and for all labor charges. All parts, including repaired and replaced parts, are covered only for the original warranty period. When the warranty on the product expires, the warranty on all replaced and repaired parts also expires.

WHAT IS EXCLUDED?

Your warranty does not cover:

• labor charges for installation or setup of the product, adjustment of customer controls on the product, and installation or repair of antenna systems outside of the product.

• product repair and/or part replacement because of misuse, accident, unauthorized repair or other cause not within the control of Magnavox.

• reception problems caused by signal conditions or cable or antenna systems outside the unit.

• a product that requires modification or adaptation to enable it to operate in any country other than the country for which it was designed, manufactured, approved and/or authorized, or repair of products damaged by these modifications.

• incidental or consequential damages resulting from the product. (Some states do not allow the exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusion may not apply to you. This includes, but is not limited to, prerecorded material, whether copyrighted or not copyrighted.)

• a product that is used for commercial or institutional purposes (including but not limited to rental purposes).

WHERE IS SERVICE AVAILABLE?

Warranty service is available in all countries where the product is officially distributed by Magnavox. In countries where Magnavox does not distribute the product, the local Magnavox service organization will attempt to provide service (although there may be a delay if the appropriate spare parts and technical manual(s) are not readily available).

MAKE SURE YOU KEEP...

Please keep your sales receipt or other document showing proof of purchase. Attach it to the owner's manual and keep both nearby. Also keep the original box and packing material in case you need to return your product.

BEFORE REQUESTING SERVICE...

Please check your owner's manual before requesting service. Adjustments of the controls discussed there may save you a service call.
