6. Some Multichannel DVD, DVD-Video, DVD-Audio

and Super Audio Compact Discs might contain Low

Frequency Audio Signals (below 80Hz) in the Center

and/or Surround Channels. If the Loudspeakers in your

sound system are not capable of reproducing those Low

Frequencies, distortion and/or possible damage to the

Loudspeakers may occur. Refer to page 22. For addi-

tional information, consult with your Dealer or refer to

the Owner’s Manual for your Loudspeakers.

Introduction and Performance Features

Introduction

The McIntosh MVP871 Audio Video Player offers the

latest in audio/video technology, providing state of the art

reproduction of digital video and audio program sources.

A full complement of performance features allows for the

enjoyment of DVDs. SACD, DVD Audio, Audio CDs,

special audio and special video formats are all reproduced

with flawless realism. The advanced mechanical design of

the transport ensures many years of smooth trouble free

operation.

• Balanced Outputs

The MVP871 has Balanced Outputs for the Left and Right

Channels when playing a CD. When a Multichannel Disc

is playing, the Balanced Left and Right Outputs provide a

two channel mix down of the Multichannel Recording.

• Built-in Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Decoders

The MVP871 provides built-in decoding of Dolby Digital

and DTS Digital Sound Tracks.

• Digital Audio Outputs

Performance Features

There are Coaxial, Optical and Digital Audio Outputs for

external decoding of Dolby Digital, DTS Digital Signals,

PCM or MP3 Signals from CDs.

• Twin Laser Pickup

The MVP871 incorporates two laser elements, with differ-

ent wavelengths, that are focused through one lens as-

sembly. This unique design allows reading many different

types of Audio and Video Disc Formats.

• On Screen Setup and Calibration

Level and Time Delay Adjustments are available for Dolby

Digital, DTS Digital, DVD-Audio and SACD Disc Signals

and effect the multichannel analog audio outputs.

• Advanced Transport

The MVP871 has a new vibration-resistant Transport with

an advanced digital servo for faster, quieter and accurate

operation. The DVD Data is read into memory from the

disc at twice the normal rate. Likewise CD Audio Data is

read into memory at four times the normal rate. The fast

read speeds help to insure better disc tracking and error

correction processing.

• Power Control

The Power Control Input connection provides convenient

Turn-On/Off of the MVP871 when connected to a McIn-

tosh System with Power Control.

• Remote Control

The Remote Control with illuminated push-buttons, pro-

vides control of the MVP871 operating functions. A Data

Port Connection to a McIntosh A/V Control Center or

Preamplifier allows for convenient system operation using

one Remote Control. An External IR Sensor Input allows

for remote operation when the MVP871 is located behind

closed doors.

• Video Output with Up Scaling to 1080p

The MVP871’s special video processing circuitry scales

the native 480i resolution image quality of a DVD disc to

480p, 720p, 1080i or 1080p via the Digital Video Output.

• Multiple Video Outputs

The Component Video Output has switchable Progressive

Scan Processing and offers the highest possible analog pic-

ture quality available. There are also S-Video and Compos-

ite Video Outputs for a variety of applications.

• Special Power Supply

A fully regulated Power Supply, with a special R-Core

Power Transformer, ensures stable noise free operation

even though the power line varies.

• Advanced Video Circuitry

An advanced technology 12-Bit DAC (Digital Analog Con-

verter) operating at 216MHz with Multi-Directional Diago-

nal Filter together with Pixel Image Correction, performs

video signal processing for enhanced DVD picture quality.

• Machined Side Panels

The sides of the MVP871 are machined from thick alumi-

num panels with a smooth black finish.

• Fiber Optic Solid State Front Panel Illumination

The Illumination of the Glass Front Panel is accomplished

by the combination of custom designed Fiber Optic Light

Diffusers and extra long life Light Emitting Diodes

(LEDs). This provides even Front Panel Illumination and is

designed to ensure the pristine beauty of the MVP871 will

be retained for many years.

• 24 BIT Burr Brown Audio DAC

The MVP871 has three built-in Burr Brown 2-channel

Digital to Analog Converters are capable of sampling rates

up to 192kHz with 24 Bits of resolution.

Installation

The MVP871 can be placed upright on a table or shelf,

standing on its four feet. It also can be custom installed in

a piece of furniture or cabinet of your choice. The four feet

may be removed from the bottom of the MVP871 when it

is custom installed as outlined below. The four feet togeth-

er with the mounting screws should be retained for pos-

block the ventilation holes on the top and bottom cover.

Allow 1 inch (2.54 cm) in front of the mounting panel for

clearance. When the DVD/CD tray is opened, the panel

clearance required in front of mounting panel is 6-3/4

inches (17.2cm). Be sure to cut out a ventilation hole in the

mounting shelf according to the dimensions in the draw-

sible future use if the MVP871 is removed from the custom ing.

installation and used free standing. The required panel

cutout, ventilation cutout and unit dimensions are shown.

Always provide adequate ventilation for your MVP871.

The MVP871 has the ability of playing back special types

of disc formats that are created primarily on a computer.

The ability to successfully playback these discs on the

MVP871 Player is dependent upon using the correct hard-

ware and software. Please refer to the maker of the com-

puter and software publisher to insure proper results.

The MP3/WMA Audio CD Formats allow the plac-

ing of more tracks on a CD Disc by using the technique of

lossy compression applied to the original audio informa-

tion. A special version of WMA allows for lossless verion

of the original audio information. The MP3 Track after

compression is applied, results in lower audio quality than

the original recording.

The JPEG Photo File Format is used by a majority of

Digital Photo Cameras on the market and the Photos are

easily viewed on a variety of consumer products. Some of

the Kodak¹Picture CDs and Fujifilm²Fujicolor²CDs may

also playback on the MVP871.

The Video CDs allow for the playback of “Live Video”

copied from devices such as Camcorders and some Digital

Cameras.
