THE ENTERTAINMENT MEDIUM FOR THE MILLENIUM

Video was never like this before! Perfect digital studio-quality pictures with truly 3-dimensional digital multichannel audio. Story sequences screened from your own choice of camera angle. Language barriers broken down by sound tracks in as many as eight languages, plus subtitles - if available on disc - in as many as 32. And whether you watch DVD-Video on widescreen or regular TV, you always see it the way it was meant to be.

DIGITAL VIDEO

DVD-Video uses state-of-the-art MPEG2 data compression technology to register an entire movie on a single 5-inch disc. DVD’s variable bitrate compression, running at up to 9.8 Mbits/second, captures even the most complex pictures in their original quality.

The crystal-clear digital pictures have a horizontal resolution of over 500 lines, with 720 pixels (picture elements) to each line. This resolution is more than double that of VHS, superior to Laser Disc, and entirely comparable with digital masters made in recording studios.

DVD-Video discs conform to either the PAL or NTSC video standard. This dual-standard player can play both types, and present them in the best possible way on your multistandard TV screen.

As the universal video system of the future, DVD-Video offers optimal pictures on any TV screen.

DVD-VIDEO

english

Your Philips DVD-Video player plays digital video discs conforming to the universal DVD-Video standard. With it, you will be able to enjoy full-length movies with true cinema picture quality, and stereo or multichannel sound (depending on the disc, and on your playback set-up). The unique features of DVD-Video, such as selection of sound track and subtitle languages, and of different camera angles (again depending on the disc), are all included. What’s more, Philips Parental Control lets you decide which discs your children will be able to see.

You will find your player remarkably easy to use, by way of the On-Screen Display and player display, in combination with the remote control.

In addition to DVD-Video discs, you will also be able to play all Video CDs and audio CDs. The disc types which run on the player feature one or more of these logos on the disc packaging:

First check and identify the contents of your DVD-Video player package, as listed below:

• DVD-Video player;

• Remote Control Handset with separately-packed batteries;

• Power cord;

• Euroconnector cable;

• 1-way video (CVBS) cable;

• 2-way audio cable;

• User Manual.

If any item should be damaged or missing, please inform your supplier without delay.

Keep the packaging materials; you may need them to transport your player in the future.

• Place the player on a firm, flat surface.

• Keep away from domestic heating equipment and direct sunlight.

• In a cabinet, allow about 2.5 cm (1 inch) of free space all around the player for adequate ventilation.

• If the DVD-Video player fails to read discs correctly use a commonly available cleaning CD/DVD to clean the lens before taking the DVD-Video player for repair. Avoid other cleaning methods, which may destroy the lens. Always keep the tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.

• The lens may cloud over when the DVD-Video player is suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings. Playing a CD/DVD is not possible in such a situation. Leave the DVDVideo player in the warm environment until the moisture evaporates.

For multichannel sound, your player provides both digital and analog audio outputs.

DIGITAL (MPEG 2 MULTICHANNEL OR DOLBY DIGITAL™) MULTICHANNEL SOUND

1 For this, which provides the highest multichannel sound

quality, you need a digital multichannel A/V receiver.

2 Connect the digital audio output on the rear of the player to

a suitable input on the receiver using a digital audio cable (available as option). In this case, do not use the player’s audio Left and Right outputs.

3 You will need to activate the digital output of the player.

4 The audio format of the digital output is dependent on the

audio format of the selected audio stream. Make sure that the selected audio stream matches the capabilities of the receiver connected to the digital output.

ANALOG (DOLBY PRO LOGIC™) MULTICHANNEL SOUND

1 If your TV set has a Dolby Pro Logic™ decoder, simply hook

up the player to the TV using the A/V Euroconnector, or (optional) YUV, or Video (CVBS) and audio connections as on precedent page.

2 If not, make the A/V Euroconnector, or (optional) YUV, or

Video (CVBS) connection to the TV, and connect the player’s audio Left and Right outputs to suitable inputs on a Dolby Pro Logic™ Audio/Video receiver, using the cable supplied.

3 For speaker connections, follow the instructions given in

the TV set or A/V receiver user manual.

NOTE

You cannot use the RF Modulator option for home theatre.

- If the audio format of the digital output does not match the

capabilities of your receiver, the sound will be muted.

For this connection, which produces the highest possible stereo sound quality, you need an audio amplifier with digital input, and the digital output of the player must be activated (see Settings). Connect the player’s digital audio output to the corresponding input on the amplifier. In this case, do not use the player’s audio Left and Right outputs.

1 Plug the female end of the power cord supplied into the

Power connector on the rear of the player.

2 Plug the male end of the cord into an AC outlet.

NOTE

- When the player is in the “OFF” position, it still consumes some power. If you wish to disconnect your player completely from the power supply, withdraw the plug from the AC Outlet.

CAUTION

Only qualified service personnel should remove the cover or attempt to service this device.

LOADING THE BATTERIES

1 Open the battery compartment cover.

2 Insert three 'AA' (R6 or SUM3) batteries as indicated inside

the battery compartment.

3 Close the cover.

CAUTION

Do not mix old and new batteries. and NEVER mix different types of batteries (standard, alkaline and so on).
