Warning concerning stationary images on the TV screen (only for Plasma Displays)
A characteristic of Plasma Display Panels is that displaying the same image for a long time can cause a permanent
after-image to remain on the screen. This is called phosphor burn in.
Normal use of the TV should involve the showing of pictures that contain constantly moving and changing images that
fill the screen.

A Guide to Digital TV
What is Digital Television (DTV) ?
Digital Television (DTV) is relatively new type of broadcasting that promises to transform television viewing into a whole new experience. Digital
technology is used to capture images and sound to deliver a better picture quality. DTV technology is also capable of multicasting and interactive
capabilities.
There are many levels of digital television quality. The most common are:
Standard Definition TV (SDTV)
SDTV is the basic level of quality display and resolution for both analog and digital. Transmission of SDTV can be in the traditional (4:3) or
widescreen (16:9) format.
Enhanced Definition TV (EDTV)
EDTV is better in picture quality than analog television. The formats for EDTV are 480p widescreen (16:9) or traditional (4:3). EDTV is in the
middle range quality between SDTV and HDTV.
High Definition TV (HDTV)
HDTV has the highest quality for digital broadcast formats. Its resolution is widescreen format (16:9). Combined with digitally enhanced sound
technology, HDTV sets new standards for sound and picture quality in television.
DTV is by far a more flexible and efficient technology than the analog broadcast system. Analog broadcasts can only provide one program at
a time. Digital television can broadcast a high definition program or more than one standard definition program at the same time. This is often
referred to as "multicasting". Digital television can also give you interactive video and data services through a single digital channel.
Preparation
Note : Use only a soft cloth to clean the front of the TV.
Do not insert the power plug in a wall socket before all connections
are made.
Place the TV on a solid surface or place the TV on the supplied stand. For
the mounting instructions of the stand, see the Quick Start Guide.
For ventilation, leave at least 4” to 6” free all around the TV. Do not
place the TV on a carpet. To prevent any unsafe situations, no naked flame
sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed in the vicinity.
Avoid heat, direct sunlight and exposure to rain or water. The equipment
shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.
Mounting the TV on the wall
This TV is compatible with the VESA wall mounting standard. Please
contact your local electronics retailer for a VESA compliant bracket to wall
mount this TV.
Caution: Installing the TV requires special skill that should only be
performed by qualified personnel. You should not attempt to do
the work yourself. Magnavox bears no responsibility for improper
mounting or mounting that results in accident or injury.

& Basic connections to the TV
Your integrated digital TV automatically decodes and displays the four basic DTV
picture resolution standards.
- SDTV (Standard Definition TV) are broadcast as 480i (480-line interlaced) or
480p (480-line progressive scan) video.
- HDTV (High-Definition TV) are broadcast either in the 1080i or 720p formats,
always with a widescreen picture.
CABLE
Note: Progressive scan video (p) is more like that you see in a movie theater. Images are
much more distinct and free of flicker, and motion is smoother.
Next to analog NTSC broadcast reception, your TV has an integrated High
Definition TV tuner which receives, decodes and displays terrestrial ATSC and
unscrambled cable (QAM) signals.
75
HDTV quality is only reproduced when a broadcaster or cable provider broadcasts
HDTV signals.
There are 2 ways to get HDTV content:
- via cable,
- via antenna.
Note: This drawing is used wherever you can connect cable or antenna.

- Cable box with RF IN/OUT
• Connect the incoming cable TV signal to the cable IN jack 1 on the back of
the cable box.
• Connect a coaxial cable (not supplied) from the TO TV jack on the back of the
cable box to the CABLE/ANTENNA 75 Ω : jack 2 at the bottom of the TV.
Note: Your cable box may have a different label for the TO TV jack, such as
OUTPUT or OUT.
Set-Top Box
• Set the OUTPUT CH switch 3 of the cable box to CH 3 or 4 (whichever is
correct for your cable box), then tune the TV to the corresponding channel.
Once tuned, change channels at the cable box, not the TV.
CABLE / ANTENNA
Note: This connection will not supply stereo sound to the TV. The reason is that the RF
output on a cable box - labeled TO TV, OUT or OUTPUT for example - will not send a
stereo signal to the tuner (VHF/UHF) input on a TV.

Watching Cable TV programs that don’t
require the cable box
Since you’ve connected the cable TV signal
directly to the TV’s tuner, you can also watch the
unscrambled programs by simply tuning to the
desired channel. You must first use Autoprogram,
however, to store channels in the TV’s memory.
Note: If your cable box Audio/Video outputs will not supply video and stereo audio to
the TV, you will need to make the connection shown above in the example “Cable box
with RF IN/OUT”.
Note: This connection will supply stereo sound to
the TV if it is being broadcast by the station you are
watching.

Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS)
Satellite systems offer many of the same premium channels as cable systems, and
often at a lower price. To get these channels, you’ll need to install a small dish
antenna outside.
There are 2 main DBS systems: DirecTV & DishNetwork. These systems require
separate, proprietary set top receiver boxes to decode their signals and send
them to your digital TV set. These boxes may include a digital TV tuner for off-
air DTV broadcasts.
Satellite broadcasters also provide major local channels, depending on the
market in which you live.
DBS also provides service in areas not covered by cable because they are in
rural areas or other areas not passed by a cable line.
DBS also allows you to watch pay-per-view events.
é Before installing your TV or before hanging it on the wall, connect all your
accessory devices.
“ Refer to the bottom of the set for the correct operation voltage. Insert the power
cord in the wall socket.
Consult your local dealer if your mains supply is different. To prevent damaging

If your problem is not solved
Telephone number Magnavox Customer
Care Center: 1-800-705-2000
Turn your TV off and then on again once.
Please, have the Model and Product number which you can find at
the back of your television set ready, before calling.
Never attempt to repair a defective TV yourself.
Check with your dealer or call a TV technician.
Tips
Care of the screen
Do not touch, push or rub or strike the screen with anything hard as this may scratch, mar or damage the screen permanently. Do not rub
the screen with chemically treated cloths.
Do not touch the surface with bare hands or greasy cloth (some cosmetics are detrimental to the screen). Unplug the TV before cleaning the
screen.
When the surface becomes dusty, please wipe gently with absorbent cotton or other soft materials like chamois soaks.
Do not use acetone, toluene and alcohol because they cause chemical damage. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Wipe off saliva
or water drops as soon as possible. Their long time contact with the screen causes deformations and color fading.
Plasma display characteristics
This Plasma display is designed to be used at altitudes up to 6562 ft above sea level (and/or local air pressure equal or above
800 hPa). Operating this set at higher altitude (lower air pressure) is possible. However, at high altitudes (or local air pressure equal or
below 800 hPa) the picture on this display may become unstable and picture performance can deteriorate. In addition, the plasma display may
produce a humming sound in these conditions.
These possible adverse effects relate to the altitude and are common of all plasma displays. Once the set is brought below aprox 6562 ft
(and/or local air pressure equal or above 800 hPa) its function will most likely return to normal.
Note: Transportation at high altitudes has no negative effect on the set or picture performance.
How to dispose of batteries?
The batteries supplied do not contain the heavy metals mercury and cadmium. Nevertheless in many areas batteries may not be disposed of
with your household waste. Please ensure you dispose of batteries according to local regulations.
Examples of stationary images (this is not an all-inclusive list, you may encounter others in your viewing):
• TV and DVD menus: listings of DVD disk content;
• Black bars: when black bars appear at the left and right side of the screen, it is recommended to change to a picture format so that
the picture fills the entire screen;
• TV channel logo: present a problem if they are bright and stationary. Moving or low-contrast graphics are less likely to cause uneven
aging of the screen;
• Stock market stickers: presented at the bottom of the TV screen;
• Shopping channel logos and pricing displays: bright and shown constantly or repeatedly in the same location on the TV screen.
Examples of still pictures also include logos, computer images, time display, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode, static images or
characters, etc.
Notes:
- reduce contrast and brightness when viewing
- once burn-in occurs it will never disappear completely.

Annex 2 - Magnavox TV Slideshow Format with background music
Notes:
- The latest version of this document can be found on the Magnavox support website (www.magnavox.com/usasupport).
Use the type number of your TV (e.g. 42MF237S/37) to find this documentation and other related files.
- Magnavox can’t be held responsible for any problems that may occur as a result of the content in this document. Errors reported to Magnavox will be
adapted and published on the Magnavox support website as soon as possible.
Introduction
This document explains how to make a Magnavox slideshow file with background audio.
Be aware that the content of this document is addressing technical or software skilled users.
To start the slideshow open the slideshow file in the Home network Browser of your TV.
& Press the MENU button on the remote control after having inserted a USB device and switched on the TV.
é Go to where you stored the slideshow file (.alb) on your portable memory.
“ Select the slideshow file and press the OK button to start the slide show.
‘ To stop a slide show, press the Ê button.
General Rules
• The slideshow will use plain ASCII XML syntax to allow the creation and editing of the slideshow files using simple tools.
• All references to network content must be based on the global address of the content.
• Content on a Portable Memory (PM) doesn't have a global address; as a result content from a PM can never be referenced from a slideshow
not stored on the PM itself.
• To maintain portability, a slideshow stored on a PM should ONLY reference content on the same PM. Referencing global addresses can
result in inconsistencies if the PM is used on a non-networked CE device. The latter is however not forbidden, it is only a recommendation.
• It is preferable that URL’s referencing PM content are based on a relative path starting from the directory where the slideshow is stored.
This path includes the device or drive name of the PM.
An absolute path to content will also be supported.
- relative path: pictures\test1.jpg, tamper.jpg, ..\new\bird.jpg, …
- absolute path: USB1:\pictures1\foo_bar.jpg, C:\f1.jpg, \organization.jpg, …
General Format
The format and syntax below should be used to create the slideshow file (simple ascii text) with the extension .alb (.ALB)
Examples: slshow1.alb, summer_holiday_2004.ALB, test.alb, …
The following syntax should be used to create the text file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-885h9-1" ?>
<magnavox-slideshow version="1.0" >
<title>Title of the slideshow</title>
<audio>audio_url</audio>

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 following file types are supported: .jpg, .jpeg, .mp3, .alb, .m3u and .pls.
• Only linear JPEG picture formats are supported. Progressive JPEG and JPEG2000 encodings are not supported.
• The length of a filename or directory name is limited to the length specified by the FAT12/16/32 file systems.
• Max. levels of nested directories is 19.
• Never use the supported file type extensions (.jpg, .jpeg, .mp3, .alb, .m3u and .pls) as extensions for directories as these directories will be
treated as corrupted files.
• The MP3 decoder does not support MPEG1 Layer 1 or Layer 2 playback.
• MP3 Pro files can be played with normal MP3 quality.
• 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 decrease the more unsupported or corrupted files are on the device.
Digital Camera Issues
If a USB connection between your digital camera and the TV isn’t working, you can try the solutions below to resolve your problem.
• Make sure your digital camera is switched on and verify if the configuration of your digital camera is correct (see the manual of your digital
camera for more information).
• Some digital cameras allow you to switch off the USB interface. Make sure that the USB interface is switched on before connecting to the TV.
• If you have a digital camera with only internal memory (no removable memory) you can try to copy the content manually to a a USB memory
device (e.g. Magnavox KEY product) using a personal computer.
• Some digital cameras allow you to switch between PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol) or “PC Link” and USB Mass Storage or “PC Drive”. Make
sure that you select USB Mass Storage or “PC Drive” on your digital camera.
• If your camera supports different interface settings be sure to try them one by one or contact the reseller of your camera to find out the
correct setting.
USB Memory Device Issues
• Devices connected to the USB port of your TV must be “Mass Storage Class” compliant. If your device (digital camera. MP3 player, portable
harddisk, …) 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 standardisation 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 harddisk: Due to the high power consumption of the harddisk, it is advised to use the external power supply of
the portable harddisk to guarantee proper working under all conditions.
