- Cable TV
Connect the cable TV signal to the CABLE/
ANTENNA 75 jack at the bottom of the TV.
See page 14 for details on using Autoprogram to store
channels in the TV’s memory.
Note: This connection will supply stereo sound to the TV if
the station you are viewing broadcasts stereo sound.
- Cable box with RF IN/OUT
• Connect the incoming cable TV signal to the cable IN
jack 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 jack at the bottom of the TV.
Note: Your cable box may have a different label for the TO
TV jack. Commonly used labels include OUTPUT or OUT.
• Set the OUTPUT CH switch on the cable box to CH
3 or 4 (whichever is correct for your cable box), Next,
tune the TV to the corresponding channel. Once
tuned,change channels using the cable box, not the TV.
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.
- Cable box with A/V outputs
• Connect the incoming cable TV signal to a signal
splitter (not supplied). The signal splitter enables you to avoid
having to use the TO TV jack on the back of the cable box.
This jack will not supply stereo sound to the TV.
Note: Your cable box may have a different label for the TO
TV jack. Commonly used labels include OUTPUT or OUT.
• Connect a coaxial cable (not supplied) to a connector on
the signal splitter and to the CABLE/ANTENNA 75
jack on the TV.
• Connect another coaxial cable (not supplied) to a
connector on the signal splitter and to the cable IN jack
on the back of the cable box.
• Connect A/V cables (not supplied) to the VIDEO and
AUDIO L and R outputs on the back of the cable box
and to the AV2 video (labeled VIDEO) and AUDIO
(labeled L and R) jacks on the back of the TV.
• To view programs from your cable box, first press the
AV button on the remote control.
• Press the cursor down or up buttons until the AV2 signal
source is selected.
• Press the OK button to confirm your selection. The AV2
input source becomes current for the viewing of cable TV
programs through your cable box.
Note: If your cable box audio/video outputs do not supply
video and stereo audio to the TV, you will need to make the
connection shown above in “Cable box with
RF IN/OUT.

Note: Digital Channel selection delay
Due to the tuning complexity of subchannel
digital programming, the time to select and view
a digital channel may take slightly longer than
what the viewer is normally accustomed to (as
compared to analog channel programs).
Digital channel broadcasts contain program and
system data information that must be processed
before the channel selection can be displayed.

Available channels:
- Cable (analog NTSC or digital QAM)
- Terrestrial (analog NTSC or digital ATSC)
If a tuned channel is not yet in the
master channel map, the TV will attempt to tune to the
channel and it will be added to the map.
If the channel is not acquired, a message will appear reporting
that the channel is not available. When you tune an audio-only
digital subchannel, a display appears with the message Audio only.
Note: Subchannel selections
The new standards employed with digital broadcasting make it possible
to receive multiple program channels under a single major channel
number which can be selected by pressing the digit remote control
direct-access channel number entry.
Important:
After the installation of the TV channels is completed, always
make a selection in the Installation menu between Antenna or

Trouble Shooting Tips
Symptoms Items to Check and Actions to follow
“Ghost” or double
images
• This may be caused by obstruction to the antenna due to high rise buildings or hills.
Using a highly directional antenna may improve the picture.
No power • Check that the TV’s AC power cord is plugged into the mains socket.
• Unplug the television, wait for 60 seconds. Then re-insert plug into the mains socket
and turn on the television again.
No picture • Check antenna connections at the bottom of the TV to see if they are properly connected to the TV.
• Possible broadcast station trouble. Try another channel.
• Adjust the contrast and brightness settings. Try another auto picture setting.
• Check the Closed Captions control. Some TEXT modes could block the screen.
• Check if you selected the correct AV source.
No picture and power
switched on
• Your TV has a protective mode in case there is too much heat build-up. Check the
clearance around the vents of the device to be certain there are no blocking walls or
cabinets which would limit the air flow.
Picture position
adjustment
When displaying a High Definition signal from the YPbPr inputs or HDMI input, if necessary, you can
adjust the picture position to the center of the screen with the cursor left/right or up/down buttons on
the remote control. This may be needed due to slight differences in output signals from different brands
and types of HD sources boxes.
Notes: Most High Definition receiver boxes also have picture-positioning controls in their menu
systems. If the TV cursor controls run out of range before the picture is correctly positioned, the
receiver box controls will need to be adjusted.

video play or in poor
quality only
• Check if the source complies with a supported code.
No sound • Increase the VOLUME.
• Check that the TV is not muted, press the MUTE button on the remote control.
• When no signal is detected, the TV automatically switches off the sound. This is proper
operation and does not indicate a malfunction.

Snowish picture and
noise
• Check the antenna connection.
Television not
responding to
remote control

• Operating range between TV and the remote control should not be more than approximately twenty feet.
• You can still use the buttons on the right side of your TV.
• Check if the remote control is in the correct mode.
Control of accessory
devices
• The infrared signals of the screen may influence the reception sensibility of other peripherals Solution:
replace the batteries of the remote control of other devices. E.g. keep away a wireless headphone from
within a radius of approximately four feet.
The software will not
install
Possibly the operating system is wrong.
Go to www.usasupport.magnavox.com to see which operating systems are supported.

WARNING concerning stationary images on the TV
Screen: Do not leave fixed images on the screen for extended periods of time. This can cause uneven aging of the LCD
panel. Normal use of the TV should involve viewing of programs that have constantly moving or changing images. Do
not leave moving images on screen for extended periods of time. Do not display the same images too frequently; if you
do, subtle “ghost” images can be left on the LCD screen. Sources of stationary images may be Laser discs, video games,
Compact Discs Interactive (CD-i), paused Digital Video Discs (DVDs) or video tapes.
Here are some common examples of stationary images:
• DVD menus list DVD content.
• Letter box black bars that appear at the top and bottom of the TV screen when a wide screen (16:9) movie is viewed
on a TV with standard (4:3) aspect ratio. This occurs with some DVDs.
• Video game images and scoreboards
• Television station logos cause a problem if they are bright and stationary. Moving or low-contrast graphics are
less likely to damage the picture tube.
• Stock market tickers may appear at the bottom of the TV screen if the TV programming covers this news.
• Shopping channel logos, pricing displays may be bright and may appear constantly during the show.
These are usually apper in the same location on the TV screen.
TV Location
• To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and an increased chance of TV failure, do not place the TV
where temperatures can become excessively hot -- for example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance.
• Allow a free flow of air around the TV.
Cleaning
• To avoid possible shock hazard, remove the TV’s power cord from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
• Regularly dust the TV with a dry, non-scratching duster.
• When cleaning the TV, take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface. Avoid wearing jewelry or using
anything abrasive.
Do not use household cleaners. Wipe the screen with a clean cloth dampened with water.
Use even, easy, vertical strokes when cleaning.
• Occasionally vacuum the vents on the rear of the TV.
• Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet. They may permanently blemish
the cabinet.
