Introduction 5  
Welcome!  
Your new Digital Video Disc Player provides high picture quality, clear sound, and end-  
less playback features available on Digital Video Discs (DVDs). Add options to your  
DVD viewing - watch a directors cut of a movie, listen to the producers 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 also 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 owners manual carefully. It  
describes how to access the features listed below.

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 Players 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 Players 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 Xwill 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.

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.

needs to be properly disposed. Your product uses bat-  
teries 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.  
G

8 Hookups  
Depending on your TV and other equipment, there are various ways to connect the  
DVD Player. Use only one of the connections described in the following pages.  
Before you begin...  
G
Refer to the manuals of your TV or Stereo. Note the style of jacks and connec-  
tors on the other equipment. Determine how to choose different Audio and  
Video In channels so you can see and hear the 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.  
G
Determining the best possible connection...  
Your hookup will be determined primarily by your existing equipment, especially your  
TV. These guidelines describe which options have the best picture and sound quality.  
GGGG Component video provides the best picture quality.  
If your TV has Progressive Scanning (480p), connect the TV to the Players  
Component Video Out jacks. Set the Players INTERLACE/PROGRESSIVE  
SCAN switch to PROGRESSIVE (P). Set your TV to Progressive Scan.  
Progressive Scan provides less flickering and higher image resolution than  
traditional (480i) TV signals. When the INTERLACE/PROGRESSIVE SCAN  
switch is set to P (Progressive Scan), no video will be sent from the VIDEO  
OUT or S-VIDEO OUT jacks.  
If your TV does not have Progressive Scan but has Component Video In  
jacks, connect them to the Players Component Video Out jacks (Y Pr/Cr  
Pb/Cb). But, set the INTERLACE/PROGRESSIVE SCAN switch to I  
(Interlace). Details are on page 12.  
GGG  
GG  
S-Video provides excellent picture quality. Details are on page 11.  
The yellow Video jack provides good picture quality. Details are on page 10.  
If your TV has only an RF-style jack (labelled Antenna In or 75  
ohm), you need an RF adapter to connect the Player to the TV.  
Ask your electronics retailer for details. A DVD picture still exceeds the  
quality of videotapes and other analog recordings. Details are on page nine.  
GG  
GGGG Digital audio provides the clearest sound. Connect the Players COAXIAL  
jack to your Stereo for the best sound. Details are on page 14.  
GGG  
If digital connections are not possible, connect the Players red and white  
AUDIO OUT jacks to the Audio In jacks of your Stereo or TV.  
Remember...  
G
Connect the 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 near channel zero. See your TV owners manual for  
details. Or, go to your lowest TV channel (01 or 02) and change channels down-  
ward until you see the DVD logo or DVD playback on the TV screen. (The 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 sourcemode.  
Do not connect the Players AUDIO OUT jacks to a Stereos PHONO IN jack.  
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 Player to a Dolby Digital-compatible Stereo, set  
DOLBY DIGITAL to OFF. Details are on pages 14 and 37. Playing a Disc when the  
settings are wrong could distort the sound or damage the speakers.

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 Players 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 Players 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  
3
4
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.  
5
Set the RF Modulators 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 Modulators Channel 3/4 switch.  
Set the Players INTERLACE/PROGRESSIVE SCAN switch to I (interlace).

Helpful Hints  
An Xmay 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.  
Press Stop C to stop 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.  
Remember, this DVD Player  
will play only certain Discs.

Component Video In, S-Video In, etc.). These channels usually are located near channel zero. Check your TV
