Preparation

CABLE

/ANTENNA

1	Do not insert the power plug in a wall socket before

all connections are made.

Place the TV on a solid surface.

For ventilation, leave at least 4” to 6” free all around the TV. Do not place the TV on a carpet. To prevent any unsafe situations, no naked ﬂame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed in the vicinity. Avoid heat, direct sunlight and exposure to rain or water. The equipment shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.

Mounting the TV on the wall

This TV set provides mounting hole on back cover. (26” : 100x 100 mm / 32” :200 x 100 mm)

Caution: Installing the TV requires special skill that should only be performed by qualiﬁed personnel. You should not attempt to do the work yourself. Magnavox bears no

responsibility for improper mounting or mounting that results in accident or injury.

Make sure that the wall mount is being ﬁxed securely enough so that it meets safety standards.

2Basic connections to the TV

Your integrated digital TV automatically decodes and displays the four basic DTV picture resolution standards.

-SDTV (Standard Deﬁnition TV) are broadcast as 480i (480-line interlaced) or 480p (480-line progressive scan) video.

-HDTV (High-Deﬁnition TV) are broadcast either in the 1080i or 720p formats, always with a widescreen picture.

Note: Progressive scan video (p) is more like that you see in a movie theater. Images are much more distinct, free of ﬂicker and motion is smoother.

Your TV has an integrated HDTV tuner, which receives and decodes terrestrial ATSC and unscrambled cable (QAM) signals and displays them. There are two ways to obtain HDTV content:

-through a cable provider

-through an antenna.

Note: Use the illustrations on the left for cable or Antenna connections.

Cable box

Note: Video In signal input can be handled by AV1, AV3 as well.

Watching cable TV programs that don’t require the use of a cable box.

Since you’ve connected the cable TV signal directly to the TV’s tuner, you can also watch unscrambled programs by simply tuning to

the desired channel; however, you must ﬁrst use Auto program to store available channels in the TV’s memory. (p. 13)

Note: This connection will supply stereo sound to the TV if the station you are viewing broadcasts stereo sound.

- Cable TV

Connect the cable TV signal to the CABLE/ ANTENNA 75 jack at the bottom of the TV. See page 14 for details on using Autoprogram to store channels in the TV’s memory.

Note: This connection will supply stereo sound to the TV if the station you are viewing broadcasts stereo sound.

- Cable box with RF IN/OUT

•Connect the incoming cable TV signal to the cable IN jack on the back of the cable box.

•Connect a coaxial cable (not supplied) from the TO TV jack on the back of the cable box to the CABLE/

ANTENNA 75jack at the bottom of the TV.

Note: Your cable box may have a different label for the TO TV jack. Commonly used labels include OUTPUT or OUT.

•Set the OUTPUT CH switch on the cable box to CH 3 or 4 (whichever is correct for your cable box), Next, tune the TV to the corresponding channel. Once tuned,change channels using the cable box, not the TV.

Note: This connection will not supply stereo sound to the TV. The reason is that the RF output on a cable box - labeled TO TV, OUT or OUTPUT for example - will not send a stereo signal to the tuner (VHF/UHF) input on a TV.

- Cable box with A/V outputs

• Connect the incoming cable TV signal to a signal

splitter (not supplied). The signal splitter enables you to avoid having to use the TO TV jack on the back of the cable box. This jack will not supply stereo sound to the TV.

Note: Your cable box may have a different label for the TO TV jack. Commonly used labels include OUTPUT or OUT.

• Connect a coaxial cable (not supplied) to a connector on the signal splitter and to the CABLE/ANTENNA 75

jackon the TV.

•Connect another coaxial cable (not supplied) to a

connector on the signal splitter and to the cable IN jack on the back of the cable box.

•Connect A/V cables (not supplied) to the VIDEO and AUDIO L and R outputs on the back of the cable box and to the AV2 video (labeled VIDEO) and AUDIO

(labeled L and R) jacks on the back of the TV.

•To view programs from your cable box, ﬁrst press the AV button on the remote control.

•Press the cursor down or up buttons until the AV2 signal source is selected.

•Press the OK button to conﬁrm your selection. The AV2 input source becomes current for the viewing of cable TV programs through your cable box.

Note: If your cable box audio/video outputs do not supply video and stereo audio to the TV, you will need to make the connection shown above in “Cable box with RF IN/OUT.

CABLE

/ANTENNA

Note: The ﬁrst time (and only the ﬁrst time) you turn on your set you see an installation introduction screen. The

Installation procedure consists of a series of screens that guide you through the process.

1	After an introduction screen, you are asked
	to select a language of the TV’s on-screen-

menus. (The text of the header and the info on screen

continuously change language.)

2Press the cursor up/down to highlight your language.

See Connect Accessory Devices, p. 27.

-Antenna

Through an antenna, you can watch any HDTV programs

that are broadcast in your area without paying fees.

If you’re not sure what HDTV programming is available in your area, contact your local content provider or your local electronics retailer.

Broadcasters are currently transitioning from analog to digital TV. This means that a given broadcaster will have two channels on the air, one analog and one digital.

Connect the incoming antenna signal to the CABLE/ ANTENNA 75 jack at the bottom of the TV. See page 14 for details on using Autoprogram to store channels in the TV’s memory.

Note:This connection will supply stereo sound to the TV if it is being broadcast by the station you are watching.

- Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS)

Satellite systems offer many of the same premium channels available on cable systems, often at a lower price. To view these channels, you’ll need to install a small dish antenna outside your home.

The two main DBS systems, DirecTV and DishNetwork, require separate, proprietary set-top receiver boxes to decode their signals and send them to your digital TV set. These boxes may include a digital TV tuner for off-air DTV broadcasts.

Satellite broadcasters also provide major local channels, depending on the market in which you live. DBS also provides service in areas not covered by cable

because the are in rural areas or other areas not passed by a cable line.

DBS also allows you to watch pay-per-view events.

3 To connect accessory devices, see p. 27.
