Some explanations in this manual describe DVD Disc menus. DVD manufacturers set
the menus, which vary among DVDs. All DVDs do not have menus. If the DVD has a
menu, access it by pressing the DISC MENU button on the remote control.
Details are on page 51.
Setup Menus...
Some instructions explain how to use the setup menus of the TV/VCR/DVD. There are
two setup menus: one for the TV/VCR features while the unit is in TV/VCR mode, and
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 unit’s DVD Player. Press the SETUP button once to select the TV/VCR SETUP
menu. Press SETUP twice to get to the DVD Player’s SETUP menu.
Even if you set a DVD feature in the unit’s 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 “X” will 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.

6 Playable Discs and Videotapes
Playable Discs
The DVD Player of this TV/VCR/DVD will play many types of Discs, including Digital
Video Discs (DVDs) and Audio Compact Discs (CDs). It will play MP3 and JPEG files as
well.
To play a DVD, make sure it meets the requirements for Region Codes and Color
Systems as described below. Discs that have the following logos will play on the DVD
Player of this TV/VCR/DVD. Finalize CD-R, CD-RW, DVD+R, and DVD+RW Discs
before playing them in the TV/VCR/DVD.

Region Codes
This TV/VCR/DVD has a Region One (1) DVD Player. DVDs must be labeled for ALL
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
symbols do not appear on your DVD, you cannot play the DVD in this TV/VCR/DVD.
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
region code.
Color Systems
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.

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.).

If you are having problems with your product, check this list of problems and possible solutions before
requesting service. You may be able to solve the problem yourself.
Location
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

• Moisture may condense inside the unit when you move it from a cold place to a warm place, after heat-
ing a cold room, or when the humidity is high. There is no warning that moisture is in your

parts, and for all labor charges.
BEFORE REQUESTING SERVICE...
Please check your owner’s manual before requesting
service. Adjustments of the controls discussed there
