one for the Disc features while the unit is in DVD mode. Access the setup menus by  
pressing SETUP on the remote control.  
While in TV/VCR mode, you can select only the TV/VCR SETUP menu.  
In DVD mode, you can select both the TV/VCR SETUP menu and the SETUP menu for  
the units DVD Player. Press the SETUP button once to select the TV/VCR SETUP  
menu. Press SETUP twice to get to the DVD Players SETUP menu.  
Even if you set a DVD feature in the units SETUP menu, it will not be available if the  
current Disc does not include that feature.  
Available Disc Features...  
All features described in this manual are not available on every Disc. If  
the feature is not available on the Disc, you cannot use the  
TV/VCR/DVD to make it available.  
An Xwill appear in the top right corner of the screen if you try to  
access a feature that is not available.  
For example, some features are available only during play, while others  
are available only if play is stopped. If you cannot access a feature, try  
stopping or starting play, then try the feature again.

regions or for Region 1 in order to play on the unit. You cannot play DVDs that are  
labeled for other regions. Look for the symbols below on your DVDs. If these region

The number inside the globe refers to a region of the world. Region 1 represents the  
United States, Canada, upper regions of North America, Bermuda, the U.S. Virgin  
Islands, and small regions near Australia.  
A DVD labelled for a specific region can only play on DVD Players with the same

DVDs are recorded in different color systems throughout the world. The most com-  
mon color systems are NTSC (which is used primarily in the United States and  
North America), PAL, and SECAM.  
The DVD Player of this unit uses NTSC, so DVDs you play must be recorded in the  
NTSC color system. You cannot play DVDs recorded in other formats. The color  
system of the DVD may be listed on the DVD or on the Disc case.  
Videotapes  
Magnavox recommends you use only videotapes that have the  
mark. Other  
videotapes may have poor picture quality and cause excessive deposits on the video  
heads. The warranty may not cover such damage.  
The VCR of this TV/VCR/DVD has a High Quality (HQ) system and is compatible  
with existing Video Home System (VHS) equipment.

Closed Captions 41  
Follow the steps below to select closed captions for TV pro-  
gramming. Not all TV programs and commercials have closed  
captions or all types of closed captions (second language,  
half-screen text, etc.). If closed captioning is not broadcast,  
you cannot receive it. This does not indicate a problem with  
the TV/VCR/DVD. Check your TV program listings for  
shows with closed captions.  
If the TV/VCR/DVD receives poor quality television signals,  
the captions may contain errors, or there might be no cap-  
tions at all. Some possible causes of poor quality signals are:

Emergency Broadcast System signals), then denies access to  
programming if the programs rating meets the limitations  
you select. In this case, a PROTECTED PROGRAM by ...”

Glossary 75  
AUDIO In Jacks: red and white jacks on the front of the TV/VCR/DVD  
which are used to receive or record audio from another source (VCR,  
Camcorder, etc.).  
Automatic Channel Setup: process in which the TV/VCR/DVD memo-  
rizes all available TV channels. Then, when you push the CH. L/M buttons,  
you only scan through channels you receive.  
Auxiliary (AUX): The channel to which you set your TV/VCR/DVD during  
dubbing or when viewing material that is playing on another device that is  
connected to the TV/VCR/DVD (for example, a Camcorder or VCR or TV  
channels from a Cable Box/Satellite Receiver). Press SELECT to choose AUX  
at the TV/VCR/DVD.  
Bands: settings that allow you to tune channels.  
Antenna VHF (very high frequency; channels 2-13) and UHF (ultra high  
frequency; channels 14-69).  
Cable standard channels can be received without a Cable Box.  
Brightness: adjusting increases or decreases the brightness of the color on  
the screen.  
COAXIAL Digital Audio Out jack: Sends digital audio to a stereo,  
allowing you to adjust the volume at the stereo.  
Color: adjusting pales or brightens the TV/VCR/DVD picture color.  
Dolby Digital: A surround sound system that provides 5.1 channel sound as  
used in movie theaters. Sound is heard through multiple channels, not just the  
right and left as with standard stereo.  
Dubbing: copying a videotape from a separate VCR or camcorder.  
HQ: high quality; a feature in the VCR circuitry which provides enhanced  
videotape picture detail through the TV/VCR/DVD.  
OTR: One-Touch Recording; a timed recording that starts immediately and  
records for 30 minutes to eight hours, whichever you specify.  
Sharpness: adjusting softens or clarifies the picture on the screen.  
Tape Speeds: how fast the videotape travels during playback or recording.  
The faster the tape speed, the better the recording quality will be. Faster  
speeds (SP) also use more space on the tape. So, you can put more recording  
on a tape if you use a slower tape speed (SLP).  
SP (standard play) fastest tape speed (recording time for a T120 tape is  
approximately two hours); best picture quality.  
LP (long play) average tape speed; only playback in this speed is available  
on this TV/VCR/DVD.  
SLP (super long play) slowest tape speed (recording time for a T120  
tape is approximately six hours).  
Tint: adjusting changes the tints of the picture from purple to green.  
VIDEO In Jack: yellow jack on the front of the TV/VCR/DVD which is used  
to receive or record video from another source (VCR, Camcorder, etc.).

For safe operation and satisfactory performance of your TV/VCR/DVD, remember the following:  
Shield it from direct sunlight and keep it away from sources of intense heat.  
Avoid dusty or humid places.  
Avoid places with insufficient ventilation. Do not block the ventilation openings at the top and bottom  
of the TV/VCR/DVD. Do not place the TV/VCR/DVD on a carpet, as this will block the ventilation  
openings.  
Avoid locations subject to strong vibrations.  
Do not place the TV/VCR/DVD near strong magnetic fields.  
Do not move the TV/VCR/DVD from a cold place to a hot place, or vice versa.  
Electrical Shock and Fire Hazards
