8.2 Select your connection quality
This section describes how you can enhance your audio visual
experience by connecting your devices with the best possible
connectors.
HDMI - Highest quality
S-Video cable
Audio L/R cable
- Red,White
Composite - Basic quality
Composite video provides basic analog connectivity, usually combining
a (yellow) video cinch cable with (red and white) Audio L/R cinch cable.
Match the cable colors when connecting to the composite video and
audio L/R input connectors on the side of the TV.
HDMI produces the best audio visual quality possible. Both audio
and video signals are combined in one HDMI cable, providing an
uncompressed, digital interface between your TV and HDMI devices.
You must use HDMI to experience full high definition video. Use only a
certified HDMI cable.
E Tip
If your device only has a DVI connector, use a DVI-HDMI adaptor to
connect your device to a HDMI connector on theTV. As such a con-
nection does not support sound, you must connect a separate audio
cable from the device to the Audio L/R input connectors on theTV.
Composite audio/video cable
-Yellow, red and white
D Note
Magnavox HDMI supports High-bandwidth Digital Contents
Protection (HDCP). HDCP is a form of Digital Rights Management
that protects high definition content in DVD or Blu-ray discs.
8.3 Label your connections
When you connect devices, you can label the connections to help you
to later identify where devices are connected.
Component (YPbPr) - High quality
Component (Y Pb Pr) video provides better picture quality than
S-Video or composite video connections. Though component video
supports high definition signals, picture quality is lower than HDMI and
is analog.

Term
DVI
Meaning
DigitalVisual Interface
A digital interface standard created by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG)
to convert analog signals into digital signals to accommodate both analog and digital
monitors.
RGB signals
Red, Green and Blue signals
Super-VHS signals
These are the three video signals, red, green & blue, which make up the picture. Using
these signals improves picture quality.
S-VHS signals
These are 2 separateY/C video signals from the S-VHS and Hi-8 recording standards.
The luminance signalsY (black and white) and chrominance signals C (color) are
recorded separately on the tape. This provides better picture quality than with standard
video (VHS and 8 mm) where theY/C signals are combined to provide only one video
signal.

Television pictures are not broadcast in the same way in all countries. There are
different standards: BG, DK, I, and LL’. The System setting is used to select these
different standards. This is not to be confused with PAL or SECAM color coding. PAL
is used in most countries in Europe, Secam in France, Russia and most African countries.
The United States and Japan use a different system called NTSC. The inputs AV1 and
AV2 are used to read NTSC coded recordings.

11. Notes for the use of USB devices
Digital Content Issues
•
Only FAT (DOS) formatted (initialized) portable memory is
supported. Errors in this formatting can result in unreadable
content. If such problems appear try to re-format the card. Be
aware that formatting the card will also delete all the content on it
(pictures, music, …).
•
•
•
The length of a filename or directory name is limited to the length
specified by the FAT16/32 file systems.
The access and response time of the content on a device can differ
depending on the type or brand of the device.
The access and response time of the content on a device will
increase the more unsupported or corrupted files are on the
device.
USB Memory Device Issues
•
Devices connected to the USB port of your TV must be “Mass
Storage Class” compliant. If your device is not “Mass Storage
Class” compliant it will not be detected by the content browser of
the TV.
•
The following subsets of the Mass Storage Class specification are
supported:
• The implementation of the TV is based on the “Universal Serial
Bus Mass Storage Class Specification Overview” (v1.2, June 23,
2003) including all documents referenced by the document. The
document can be found on the USB standardization website
(www.usb.org).
• Full support of the USB Mass Storage Class Bulk-Only Transport
(bInterfaceProtocol = 50h).
• Full support of SubClass Code = 05h; SFF-8070i spec.
• Full support of SubClass Code = 06h; SCSI transparent
command set.
•
•
For large USB memory devices, when you are in the Content
Browser, it may take a long time before you can access your files.
When using a USB portable hard disk: Due to the high power
consumption of the hard disk, it is advised to use the external
power supply of the portable hard disk to guarantee proper
working under all conditions.
