How to Choose a Magnavox DVD Player
Magnavox has been in business for more than a century and has been a producer of DVD players for several years. They produce several types of DVD players, and each model may have a variety of built-in or external features that support the devices. If you are searching for a way to play your DVDs, understanding what types of players you might find, the formats they support, and how to use them may help you find the one that suits you.
Are there different types of DVD players?While all DVD players can read and display DVD discs in most formats, some models are intended to work with specialized discs that produce video and audio in a specific format or range. Knowing what types of players you might find during your search could be the first step to finding the product that meets your needs. Some common types of available features include:
- DVD recorder - In addition to playing most standard discs, a recorder is intended to allow you to write data to the disc. You may wish to use such a device to record programming or films for later viewing.
- DVD-VCR - A DVD-VCR combination machine may be able to play both DVDs and VHS cassette tapes. Some devices may be able to record from one medium to the other.
- Portable - Portable players that don't need TVs are usually smaller to allow you to transport them more easily for viewing movies on the go.
Many Magnavox DVD players come equipped with additional built-in features that can vary from model to model. Knowing what some of these features are may help you find the product that works with the TVs in your home. Some common built-in options may include:
- Digital tuner - A player with a digital tuner may allow you to record over-the-air video and sounds without needing a converter box. Some TVs may also include digital tuners.
- Hard drive - Some digital video recorders include a hard drive. You may be able to use this drive to store audio and video content instead of writing it to a separate disc.
- Media streaming - Some DVD players may allow you to stream online content from various music and video services.
- Wi-Fi - A DVD player with a built-in Wi-Fi connection may be able to interface with your TVs and other devices without needing to use a cable for support.
