A ENGLISH Introduction Dear Magnavox customer, Instruction manuals are usually very dry since they are technically-oriented and often poorly translated. I have been employed by Magnavox for this reason. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Phil. I will be guiding you through the instruction manual and try to be of help in operating your new device.
Welcome to the large family of Magnavox DVD owners. Thank you for buying a MDV630R/MDV650R . Please take the time to read this owner's manual before using your DVD recorder. It contains important information and notes regarding operation. The DVD recorder should not be turned on immediately after transportation from a cold to a hot area or vice versa, or in conditions of extreme humidity. Wait at least three hours after transporting the device.
ENGLISH Compatible discs Using this DVD recorder, you can play and record on the following discs: Recording and Playback DVD+RW (Digital Versatile Disc + Rewritable); can be recorded on over and over. DVD+R (Digital Versatile Disc + recordable); can be recorded on once. Playback only: DVD Video (Digital Versatile Disc) DVD-R (DVD-Recordable) DVD-RW (DVD-Rewritable) Can only be played back when the recording was made in 'video mode' and the recording was finalized.
Region codes Because DVDs are not released at the same time in all regions of the world, all DVD players are keyed to a specific region code. Discs can be assigned an optional region code. If the region codes of the player and disc do not match, playback is not possible. This device will only play Region 1 DVDs or DVDs manufactured to be played in all regions ('ALL'). DVDs from other regions cannot be played in this DVD recorder. The number within the globe represents the region of the world.
ENGLISH Important notes regarding operation Caution! Visible and invisible laser radiation. When open avoid exposure to beam. Because of the danger of eye injury, only qualified service personnel should remove the cover or attempt to service this device. LASER Type: Semiconductor laser InGaAlP (DVD), AlGaAs (CD) Wavelength: 660nm (DVD), 780nm (CD) Output power (out of objective): 20mW (DVD+RW writing), 0.8mW (DVD reading), 0.3mW (CD reading).
In a cabinet, allow about 2.5 cm (1 inch) of free space around the recorder for adequate ventilation. Make sure that air can circulate freely through the ventilation slots on the machine. Do not place the device on an unsteady base. Make sure that no objects or liquids enter the recorder. Do not place vases or similar objects on the DVD recorder. If liquid spils into it, immediately disconnect the recorder from the power supply and call Magnavox for advice.
ENGLISH Normally, a new recording is made on the current location on the disc. This is the same with video cassettes. However, by holding down REC/OTR n , the new recording will be made after the last recording on the disc. This helps you avoid recording by mistake. New recordings on a DVD+R disc will always be added after the end of all recordings. The Magnavox DVD recorder can play DVDs and CDs. DVDs made using this DVD recorder can be played in most other DVD players.
