How to Operate the MVP891
Your McIntosh MVP891 has been configured for de
-
fault operating settings that will allow you to immedi-
ately 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 per-
formed with the Remote Control.
Notes: 1. Some of the MVP891 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. Some Blu-ray discs support BD Live downloads,
providing various forms of additional informa-
tion for the disc currently in the player. This
additional information is stored in memory. The
MVP891 has 1GB of internal memory storage,
however the BD Live Information is deleted
when the MVP891 is switched OFF. An external
USB Memory Drive is supplied with the MVP891
and its memory is not deleted when the MVP891
is switched OFF. For additional information
refer to page 6.
3. The USB Memory Drive should only be inserted
or removed from the Front Panel of the MVP891
when the player is in the Standby Mode (OFF).
4. When the MVP891 is On and has been idle for
approximately 5 minutes, the internal circuitry
goes into a hibernation state to conserve energy.
To bring the MVP891 out of hibernation requires
two presses of a function command such as Play,
Open/Close, etc.
