MVP841
DVD/CD/Video CD Player
10-BIT VIDEO CONVERTER. The MVP841 features an extremely fast video DAC that eliminates
digital artifacts, resulting in film-like picture quality. A DVD is capable of delivering 500 lines
of horizontal resolution, which is more than twice that of standard VHS tapes.
ULTRA-STABLE TRANSPORT. Stability is particularly important in a home theater environment
with high sound-pressure levels. The MVP841s fast and quiet transport with digital servo
improve trackability for a lower bit-error rate. This improves picture quality as well as the dig-
ital output to the audio decoder.
DUAL-FOCUS LENS. Rather than using two separate laser assemblies to read dual-layer discs,
the MVP841 employs just one laser that is split and then passed through a dual-focus lens. This
elegant solution reduces mechanical complexity, improving reliability and durability.
24-BIT AUDIO DAC. The MVP841s high-performance audio section features a 24-bit Burr-
Brown DAC that can play 24/96 music DVDs.
CONTROL DATA INPUT. This enables a McIntosh Control Center to operate the MVP841.
REMOTE POWER CONTROL. This enables the MVP841 to turn on/off with other McIntosh
equipment.
V
ideophiles and audiophiles can agree on at least one point: DVD is the best
of both worlds. The MVP841 features advanced video processing and an
ultra-stable transport that optimizes disc playback. The six-channel Dolby
Digital
®or DTS ®soundtrack data is available via an optical or coaxial digital
output. The MVP841s high-performance audio section features a 24-bit Burr-
Brown DAC that handles 24/96 music DVDs.

About the MVP841 Companion Products
The McIntosh products shown at right are logical companions for the MVP841. Separate literature
is available. Check with your McIntosh dealer for any late additions. McIntosh speaker systems
are also covered in detail in separate literature.
MX132 A/V Control Center + Processor; MC7205
5-Channel Power Amplifier. The MX132 is the
brains behind a McIntosh home theater system. It
features precision decoding of Dolby Digital
®and
DTS ®soundtracks and connects to the powerful
MC7205 via a single cable. The MC7205 delivers
200 watts (4-„¦) to all five channels.
Home Theater Series Loudspeakers.McIntosh
Home Theater Louspeakers and Loudspeaker
Systems deliver a musical, non-fatiguing sound
not often heard from loudspeakers. McIntosh
designs and engineers loudspeakers for any home
theater, multi-room or 2-channel application.
Home Theater speakers include three front chan-
nels, rear channels and powered subwoofer that
delivers deep, well-controlled bass that will satisfy even large listening rooms. An Authorized
McIntosh Dealer can advise and assist you in choosing the optimum loudspeaker for your
application and environment.
SL1 Powered Subwoofer.An alternative to the HT2, the powered SL1 delivers tight, deep bass
(down to 20Hz) with its 12-inch LD/HP
®driver and built-in 250-watt McIntosh amplifier.
RCT4 Remote Translator. The Translator allows non-McIntosh components to be operated with
a McIntosh handheld remote or keypad controller. It connects to the data outputs on McIntosh
Control Centers such as the MX132.
PC4 AC Power Controller. The PC4 provides five AC outlets (four switched) for turning non-
McIntosh components on and off automatically when it is connected to the power control output
of a Control Center or Integrated Amplifier.

As seen on the inside surface of this demonstration piece,
the screening processfor a McIntosh glass panel entails as
many as 12 individual layers.
The glass panels are cut using a computer-controlled
high-pressure water jet.
M
ost consumer electronics products are necessarily viewed
as short-term investments because either they dont last
or they quickly become obsolete in some way. Coincidentally,
manufacturers supply a steady stream of new-and-improved
products that you can buy. Again.
Behind every McIntosh is a fifty-year heritage of excellence,
proudly carried forward by every employee. No productionlines, no price-point engineering, no planned obsolescence.
McIntosh equipment is made to sound better and last longer.
When McIntosh products are presented to customers, the
criteria they have been conditioned to overlook -“ reliability,
longevity, craftsmanship, ease-of-use, adaptability, pride of
ownership -“ suddenly leap to the top of their list.
The choice becomes clear: There is nothing like a McIntosh.
