DVD Disc Menus...

Some explanations in this manual describe DVD Disc menus. DVD manufacturers set the menus, which vary among DVDs. All DVDs do not have menus. If the DVD has a menu, access it by pressing the DISC MENU button on the remote control.

Details are on page 48.

Setup Menus...

Some instructions explain how to use the setup menus of the TV/VCR/DVD. There are two setup menus: one for the TV/VCR features while the unit is in TV/VCR mode, and one for the Disc features while the unit is in DVD mode. Access the setup menus by pressing SETUP on the remote control.

While in TV/VCR mode, you can select only the TV/VCR SETUP menu.

In DVD mode, you can select both the TV/VCR SETUP menu and the SETUP menu for the unit’s DVD Player. Press the SETUP button once to select the TV/VCR SETUP menu. Press SETUP twice to get to the DVD Player’s SETUP menu.

Even if you set a DVD feature in the unit’s SETUP menu, it will not be available if the current Disc does not include that feature.

Available Disc Features...

All features described in this manual are not available on every Disc. If the feature is not available on the Disc, you cannot use the TV/VCR/DVD to make it available.

A stop hand with a cross-X (as shown here) will appear in the top right corner of the screen if you try to access a feature that is not currently available.

Additionally, the Magnavox 27MDTR10S features a built-in tuner, capable of receiving both digital and analog signals. This versatility is particularly useful during transitions to digital broadcasting, allowing users to enjoy a wide variety of channels without requiring an external digital converter. The television’s design incorporates a simple and intuitive interface, making navigation through channels and settings relatively straightforward for all ages.

Audio performance is another highlight, with built-in speakers that provide acceptable sound quality for typical viewing scenarios. For users who seek enhanced audio experiences, the television includes audio output options, enabling connections to external sound systems or speakers.
