Safety Precautions

Power Sources

This unit operates on a supplied AC adaptor,
car adaptor, or a rechargeable battery pack.

• Make sure that the input voltage of the AC
adaptor is in line with the local voltage.
Otherwise, the AC adaptor and unit may be
damaged.

• Do not touch the AC adaptor with wet
hands to prevent electric shock.

• When connecting with car power (cigarette
lighter) adaptor, be sure the input voltage of
the adaptor is identical with car voltage.

• Unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet or
remove the battery pack when the unit is
not used for long periods of time.

• Hold the plug to disconnect the AC adaptor.
Do not pull the power cord.

On Placement

Avoid placing the unit in the following places.

• Under direct sunlight or near a source of
heat such as a heater.

• Never leave the unit in a closed automobile,
on a dashboard or an unstable shelf. Excess
heat may deform the cabin or cause mal­function.

• Where it is very dusty or sandy.

• Wet or humid places, such as bathroom.

• Near sources of strong magnetism, such as
a television, speaker, or magnet.

• Where there is a lot of movement or vibra­tion, such as on a car dashboard or an
unstable shelf.

• Where it is extremely hot or cold.

• Where the unit is exposed to rain or water.

For Safety

• Do not disassemble the unit for laser rays
are dangerous to eyes.
Any service should be done by qualified
service personnel.

• Unplug the AC adaptor to cut the power if
liquid or objects get inside the unit.

• Take care not to drop the unit or subject it to
strong shocks, which may cause malfunction.

Note: When the player is in use for a long

period of time, the surface will be heat­ed. This is normal.

Maintenance

• Do not touch the lens !

• If the player is brought directly from a cold
to a warm location, or is placed in a very
damp room, moisture may condense on the
lens inside the player. If this occurs, the
player will not operate normally. Leave the
power on for about one hour with no disc in
the disc tray until normal playback is
possible.

• Avoid dust. Keep the disc tray closed after
use. If there is dust on the lens, use a
cleaning disc to clean.

Handling discs

• Do not attach paper or tape to the disc.

• Keep the disc away from direct sunlight or
heat sources.

• Store the disc in a disc case after playback.

• To clean, wipe the disc outwards from the
center with a soft, lint-free clean cloth.

Connecting to additional equipment

4 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 TV.

5 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.

6 Connect the player’s AC adaptor to a power outlet and turn on the DVD player's

POWER switch to ON. If no disc is in the player, you should see the player's screen

saver on the TV screen.

following these hints, consult your dealer or
service center.

WARNING:

Do not open the set as there is a risk of
electric shock. Under no circumstances
should you try to repair the set yourself,
as this will invalidate the warranty.

No sound/power

• Check if the player is connected securely.

• Check volume on the player

• Disconnect headphone when not using
headphone.

• Make sure you operate the TV or amplifier
correctly.

• Make sure you have selected DVD player
position on the amplifier.

er to the OFF position.

2 Connect your player to AC power with

the supplied power adaptor.

disc operation on AC power supply.

Loud noise when operating the player

• This is normal and due to mechanical
parts. Playback is not affected.

When the player is in use for a long period
of time, the surface will be heated. This is
normal.

No picture

• Check if the player is connected securely.

• Make sure you operate the TV correctly.

• Make sure you set the color system
correctly.

Bad sound quality

• Make sure the audio output mode is set

correctly.

• Make sure you did not connect any cables

from the DVD player to a Stereo’s
“PHONO IN” jack.

er’s COAXIAL digital audio out jack to an
analog jack on the Stereo. (Analog audio
jacks are usually labeled as such and are

if empty.

with the label side up.

• Disc dirty/ damaged. Clean the disc.

• Moisture has condensed in the player.

control and the player, and point directly
instead of at a wide angle at the infrared
sensor on the player.

battery with a new one.

• To avoid interference with other

electrical equipment, try using the remote
control with a minimum distance of 7 inch­es from the

sensor on the player.

Troubleshooting

Image rolls and no color

• The color system of the player doesn't
match your TV. Select the correct TV TYPE
until your TV shows normal color.

An Audio CD will not play.

• Some Audio CDs available on the market
are copy protected.These discs will not
play on this DVD player. See your retailer
for options regarding non-protected Audio
CDs.

The DVD player will not select some
features, such as Angles, Subtitles, or
multi-language Audio.

• The feature may not be available on the
disc. If it is not, the will appear on
the TV screen. Check the disc case to see
if the disc has the feature. If the disc does
not have the feature, the DVD player
cannot create the feature.This is not a
malfunction of the DVD player.

Or, the feature may not be available at the
present time. Some features are only
available during playback, while other
items can be accessed only when play is
stopped.Try stopping or starting playback,
then try the feature again.

Disc play is irregular or DVD disc menu
operation is faulty.

• Due to the inconsistency of disc formats
provided by various disc manufacturers,
your DVD player may require a playability
enhancement or upgrade. As DVD
technology has advanced, these enhance­ments have become both common and
easy to complete. Please contact
Magnavox at 1-800-705-2000 for
assistance.
