Magnavox MDV421/17 DVD Player User Manual


 
There are many ways to connect your new DVD Player to your Television and other equipment.This Quick Use
Guide shows the easiest, most common connection between the DVD Player and a TV using the supplied
cables.
Higher quality connections are explained in the accompanying owner’s manual and will provide better sound or
picture if your TV and/or audio system is compatible.
1
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.
2
Connect the yellow VIDEO (VIDEO OUT) jack of the DVD Player to the corresponding VIDEO IN jack on
your TV. Use the supplied video cable, which has yellow ends. On the TV, the Video In jack is usually yellow and might be
labeled video, CVBS, composite, or baseband.
3
Connect the supplied audio cable to the red and white AUDIO OUT (left and right) jacks on the DVD
Player and to the left/right AUDIO IN jacks on the TV. The supplied audio cable has red and white ends. Match
the cable colors to the jack colors. On the TV, the Audio In jacks are usually labeled Audio.The red jack is the right
(stereo channel) and the white jack is the left (stereo channel).
4
Plug the power cords of the DVD Player and the TV into an active power outlet. Press the STANDBY-ON
button on the front of the DVD Player to turn on the DVD Player.
5
Turn on the TV power. Set the TV to the correct Video In channel. Such channels may be called AUX or AUX-
ILIARY IN,AUDIO/VIDEO or A/V IN, EXT1 or EXT2 or External In, etc.These channels are often near channel 00. See
your TV manual for details. Go to your lowest TV channel (01 or 02), then change TV channels downward until you see
the Player's screen saver on the TV.
Remember...
Connect the DVD Player directly to the TV. For example, do not connect the DVD Player to a VCR, then connect the VCR to
a TV.This type of connection may distort the picture and sound or give you a black and white picture.Also, your VCR might
have the copy protection system, which could distort the DVD image or prevent playback of some Discs.
If your TV does not have red, white, and yellow Audio and Video In jacks, refer to the owner’s manual for other hookup options. If
your TV only has a single Antenna In or RF In jack, you will need an RF modulator. See the owner’s manual for details.
If a DVD does not play properly, please contact Magnavox at 1-800-705-2000 for assistance. Due to the inconsistency of Disc for-
mats provided by various Disc manufacturers, your DVD Player may require a playability enhancement.As DVD technology has
advanced, these enhancements have become both common and easy to complete.
