AIntroduction  
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. At appropriate points along the way, I will be providing you with the  
following information:  
(Question)?  
Tip  
Problem  
Here I will be explaining  
seemingly unimportant things.  
Here I will be giving you  
instructions on functions that  
help make it easier to use your  
DVD Recorder.  
Here I will help you find the  
cause of problems and their  
solutions.  
I hope you have lots of fun with your new DVD Recorder.  
Phil  
P.S. If you have questions or if problems come up during operation, please see the helpful  
information in the chapter 'Before you call technical support. If this doesn't help you resolve the  
problem, please call the customer support service for your country.  
The corresponding telephone numbers and e-mail addresses are listed in the warranty booklet  
provided.

Introduction  
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. The DVD recorder needs this to  
acclimate to its new environment (temperature, air humidity, etc.).  
Your Magnavox team hopes you  
will enjoy  
using your new DVD recorder.  
What is a DVD?  
DVDs (Digital Video Discs) are the new storage medium that combines  
the convenience of the Compact Disc with the latest advanced digital  
video technology. DVD Video uses state-of-the-art MPEG2 data  
compression technology that allows an entire film to be put on a single  
5-inch disc.  
How high is the resolution compared to VHS?  
The crystal-clear digital pictures have a resolution of over 500 lines, with  
720 pixels (picture elements) per line. This resolution is more than  
double that of VHS and is superior to Laser Discs. The quality can be  
compared to digital masters made in recording studios.  
What is DVD+RW?  
DVD+ReWritable (DVD+RW) uses phase-change media, the same  
technology that formed the basis for CD-ReWritable. A high-power laser  
is used to change the reflectivity of the recording layer. This process  
means the disc can be recorded on more than a thousand times.  
What is DVD+R?  
DVD+R (recordable DVD). In contrast to DVD+RW, this disc can only  
be recorded once. If a disc has not been finalized after recording, it can  
continue to be recorded upon in the DVD Recorder. Old recordings can  
be later deleted, but they cannot be overwritten. The deleted titles are  
marked as 'Deleted title.'  
For this disc to be played in a DVD player, it must be 'finalized' in the  
DVD recorder. After this has been completed, no further recordings can  
be added.  
What can my DVD recorder do?  
Your Magnavox DVD recorder is a recorder and player for digital video  
discs, with a two-way compatibility to the universal DVD Video standard.  
This means that:  
•)existing pre-recorded DVDs can be played.  
•)recordings made on your DVD recorder can play on existing DVD  
Video players and DVD-ROM drives. In some cases, the discs may have  
to be finalized before they will play on other DVD players.

Introduction  
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.  
Keep the DVD recorder away from domestic heating equipment and other sources of heat, as well  
as direct sunlight.  
Do not place any combustible objects on the device (candles, etc.).  
Make sure children do not place any foreign objects into the openings or the disc tray.  
Cleaning discs  
Some problems occur because the disc inside the recorder is dirty (frozen picture, sound  
disruptions, picture distortions). To avoid these problems, discs should be cleaned on a regular  
basis.  
When a disc is dirty, clean it with a soft cloth. Wipe the disc  
from the center to the edge in a straight line.  
1
Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially  
available cleaners, or anti-static sprays intended for analog discs.  
2
Can I use a cleaning disc intended for DVD players?  
Since the optical unit (laser) of the DVD recorder operates at a higher  
power than regular DVD or CD players, these kinds of cleaning CDs  
may damage the optical unit (laser).  
?
Therefore, refrain from using a cleaning CD!  
Special functions of your new DVD  
recorder  
Your MAGNAVOX DVD recorder has special functions that will make day-to-day use of your  
new DVD recorder easier for you.  
This screen provides you with an overview of the inserted disc. Each index screen corresponds  
to a recording. At the right-hand side of the screen, a disc pointer is shows the duration and  
position on the disc of the selected recording.  
MP3 files are highly compressed pieces of music. The amount of data of the original audio material  
is reduced by 1/10 of the original size using a special process. This enables you to fit up to 10 hours  
of music on a single CD.  
These kinds of music CDs can be played using this recorder.  
18  
Introduction  
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.  
This is a standard from Dolby Laboratories for the transmission of 5.1 channel sound. This

Introduction  
BConnecting the DVD recorder  
Preparing the remote control for  
operation  
The remote control and its batteries are packed separately in the original DVD recorder  
packaging. You must install the batteries in the remote control before use.  
Take the remote control and the enclosed batteries (2 AA  
batteries).  
1
2
Remove the battery compartment lid, insert the batteries as  
shown, then replace the battery compartment lid. Always install  
the +/- ends of the batteries as indicated inside the battery  
compartment.  
The remote control is now ready to use.  
Its range is approximately 16-32 feet (5 to 10 meters).  
Aim correctly  
In the following sections, you require the remote control for the first  
time. When using, always aim the front of the remote control at the  
DVD recorder, and not at the TV.  
Tip  
Connecting your DVD recorder to the TV  
The necessary cable connections must be made before you can record or playback TV programs  
using your DVD recorder.  
Connect the DVD recorder directly to the TV. Connecting a video cassette recorder between  
the DVD recorder and the TV could result in poor picture quality because of the copy  
protection system built into the DVD recorder.  
20  
Connecting the DVD recorder  
When you install your DVD recorder for the first time, select one of the following options:  
'Connecting with Component Video (Y Cr Cb, YUV)  
If your TV is equipped with Component Video (Y Cr Cb, YUV)  
What is 'Component Video (Y PB PR)'?  
It is a system for transmitting high-quality video by splitting the video  
signal into the Y (brightness), U and V (red minus brightness, blue minus  
brightness) components. The jacks for these cables are usually red,  
green, and blue.  
?
This connection provides a studio quality picture.  
'Connecting with S@Video (Y/C)'  
If your TV is equipped with a S-Video (SVHS) jack.  
What is a 'S@Video (Y/C) cable'?  
Also called a S-VHS cable, it is a video connection standard in which the  
Y signal and the C signal are transmitted separately. This mini-din  
jack/jack is also called a hosiden jack/jack.  
?
'Connecting with a Video (CVBS) cable'  
If your TV is equipped with a Video (CVBS) jack.  
What is a 'Video (CVBS)' jack?  
This typically yellow jack is used to transmit composite video signals  
(FBAS, CVBS). This system transmits the Y and C signals over the same  
line. In some cases, this can lead to picture distortions, or 'Moiré'.  
?
'Connecting only with the antenna cable'  
If you do not wish to use any other cable. You may use an antenna cable (RF coaxial) if you prefer  
or if your TV has only an Antenna In jack (no other audio and video in jacks). The TV's Antenna In  
jack may be labeled ANT IN, RF IN, 75 ohm, etc. Check your TV instructions for details.

General information  
What kind ofdiscs can be used of r recording?  
You can used two different types of DVDs with this DVD recorder:  
DVD+RW  
This disc can be recorded on and then erased.  
DVD+R  
This disc can only be recorded on once.  
For this DVD to be played in a DVD player, it must be finalized. After  
this is done, no more recordings can be added to this disc.  
If this disc is only to be played in the DVD recorder, then it does not  
have to be finalized. Recordings can be added and then deleted.  
However, the location (playing time) of the deleted recording (title) will  
no longer be available. See page 55 for details on finalizing discs.

You can make a spontaneous recording (for example, a program currently being shown) by  
following the steps.  
To do this, select the title to be overwritten or choose an 'Empty title' in the 'index screen'  
with the B , A buttons.  
If the recording is to be inserted between existing recordings, please note the length of the old  
and new recording. If the new recording is too long, the recording (title/chapter) following it will  
be overwritten.
