How to Operate the MVP881BR
Your McIntosh MVP881BR has been configured
for default operating settings that will allow you to
immediately enjoy superb video and high fidelity
audio from a wide variety of discs. If you wish to
make changes to the default settings, a Setup feature
is provided to customize the operating settings using
On Screen Menus (refer to the Setup instructions in
this manual on page 18). Most operations that can be
performed with the Front Panel Push-buttons can also
be performed with the Remote Control.
Notes: 1. Some of the MVP881BR operating functions
such as Disc Languages, Video Angle or
Menu Language are active only if the function
is supported by data encoded on the disc.
2. Before powering On the MVP881BR, it is
important the supplied SD Memory Card is
Initialized and inserted into the Front Panel
SD Card Slot for proper operation when
playing back a Blu-Ray Disc. Refer to pages
5 and 18.
3. The MVP881BR Front Panel Slot needs an
Initialized SD Memory Card inserted only
when the Blu-ray DB Live Feature is acti-
vated.
