polyethylene (bags, protective foam sheet.)

Your system consists of materials which can be recycled
and reused if disassembled by a specialized company. Please
observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of
packaging materials, exhausted batteries and old equipment.

Installation

● Place the player on a flat, hard, and stable surface.

● There must be sufficient room in front of the player for the

drawer to open.

● In a cabinet, allows about 10cm (4 inches) of free space all

around the player for adequate ventilation.

● Do not expose your player to extreme temperatures or

humidity.

Maintenance

● When a disc becomes dirty, clean

it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the
disc from the center out, in a
straight line.

● Do not expose the player,

batteries or discs to humidity, rain,
sand or excessive heat (caused by
heating equipment or direct
sunlight.) Always keep the disc
tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.

● Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially

available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for analog
discs.

● The lens may cloud over when the player is suddenly

moved from cold to warm surroundings, making it
impossible to play a disc. Leave the player in the warm
environment until the moisture evaporates.

Inserting batteries into the
remote control

1 Open the battery compar tment.
2 Place the batteries in the

compartment with the correct
polarity as indicated by “+“ and “-“
symbols.

3 Close the cover.

CAUTION!
– Remove batteries if they are exhausted or will
not be used for a long time.
– Do not use old and new or different types of
batteries in combination.
– Batteries contain chemical substances, so they
should be disposed of properly.

Switching on the system

1 After completing all the connections, connect the AC

power cord of the DVD system to the active power outlet.

2 Press POWER ON•OFF y to turn on the DVD system.
3 Press DVD, TUNER•BAND or TV•AUX (or press

SOURCE on the remote control) to select the input

source.

➜ The selected source will be displayed.

● For viewing a DVD or VCD disc, a TV set needs to

be connected (refer to “Connections - Connecting a
TV”.)

Switch on the TV and set to the correct video in channel
(for example, EXT1, EXT2, AV1, AV2.) Refer to your TV
instruction manual for details.
➜ The default screen appears on the TV.

IMPORTANT!
– If you do not get a proper picture or sound,
please refer to “System Setup (DVD)” in order to
change the pre-settings as necessary to
accommodate your TV system or change to your
preferred settings.
– If you get a completely
distorted or black and white
picture, it might because you are
using a PAL TV or NTSC TV.
Press N/P button on the remote
control to change between PAL
and NTSC in order to match the color system of
your TV. To change the default setting, go to
“System Menu” and change the “TV TYPE”,
details are on next page.

Setting up the surround sound
system

You must connect all the speakers and set up the system
properly in order to enjoy the Digital Cinema experience at
home (refer to “Connections - Connecting the speakers
and passive subwoofer”.) You will have the feeling of being
in the middle of the action because sound is coming from
everywhere around you. The subwoofer can enhance the
bass performance of your system dramatically.

IMPORTANT!
Please sit at your usual listening position in order
to set up the speaker balance correctly.

Placing the speakers

To obtain the best surround effect, place the speakers as
follows.

1 Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances

from the TV and at an angle of approximately 45 degrees
from the listening position.

2 Place the center speaker above or below the TV so the

center channel’s sound is localized.

3 Place the surround speakers at normal listening ear level

facing each other or mounted on the wall.

4 Place the subwoofer on the floor near the TV.

Helpful Hints:
– To avoid magnetic interference, do not position the front
speakers too close to your TV.
– If the rear surround speakers are installed farther away
from the listening position than the front and center speakers,
it will weaken the surround effect.
– All speakers should be securely installed to prevent
accidents and improve sound quality.

Setting the parental control level

This feature lets you set a playback limitation level. Some
DVDs may have a parental level assigned to the complete
disc or to certain scenes on the disc. The rating levels are
from 1 to 8 and are country dependent. You can prohibit
the playing of certain discs that are not suitable for your
children or have certain discs played with alternative scenes.

1 Press SETUP.

‘PREFERENCES,’ then
press OK.

3 Press 4 to select

‘PARENTAL,’ then press 2.

4 Use 34 keys to select

your preference and press

OK to confirm.

5 To close the menu, press

SETUP again.

Rating - NO PARENT

If parental control is not activated, it will play all discs.

Rating - 1 to 8

If the player’s parental level is set below 8, only discs with a
lower or equal level will play. For example, if the player is
set to 6, only discs with ratings of 6, 4, 3 and 1 will be
played. Higher rated scenes will not be played unless an
alternative that has the same rating or lower is available on
the disc. For example, consider a disc that generally is
suitable for most audiences, and it is rated at level 1 for the
most part. However, in the middle, there are also scenes
rated at 6 (not suitable for children).

Rating explanations

8 ADULT – Mature material; should be viewed only by

adults due to graphic sexual material, violence,
or language.

7 NC-17 – No children under age 17; not recommended

viewing for children under age 17.

6 PG-R – Parental Guidance - Restricted; recommended

that parents restrict children under 17 from
viewing or allow to view only when supervised
by a parent or adult guardian.

5 – Reserved.
4 PG13 – Material is unsuitable for children under

age 13.

3 PG – Parental Guidance suggested.
2 – Reserved.
1 G – General Audience; recommended as

acceptable for viewers of all ages.

Helpful Hint:
– Some DVDs are not encoded with a rating though the
movie rating is printed on the disc jacket. The rating level
feature does not work for such discs.

WHAT IS COVERED?

Warranty coverage begins the day you buy your product. For
one year thereafter, a defective or inoperative product will be
replaced with a new, renewed, or comparable product at no
charge to you. A replacement product is covered only for the
original warranty period. When the warranty on the original
product expires, the warranty on the replacement product 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.

WHERE IS EXCHANGE AVAILABLE?

You may exchange the product 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 a replacement
product (although there may be a delay if the appropriate prod­uct is not readily available).
