Introduction
Entertainment for the new millennium
Video was never like this before! Digital video discs provide perfect
digital, studio-quality pictures; three dimensional digital, multi-channel
audio; story sequences screened from your choice of camera angle;
sound tracks in as many as eight languages; and up to 32 subtitles (if
available on disc). Whether you watch DVD-Video on wide-screen 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 player can play both PAL and NTSC discs, presenting them in
the best possible way on your multi-standard TV screen.
As the universal video system of the future, DVD-Video offers
optimal pictures on any TV screen.
Introduction
Your Philips DVD-Video player will play 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,
as well as stereo or multi-channel sound (depending on the disc
and your playback setup). The unique features of DVD-Video,
such as selection of sound track, subtitle languages and different
camera angles (again depending on the disc), are all included.
What’s more, Philips Child Lock lets you decide which discs your
children will be able to see.
In addition to DVD-Video discs, you will be able to play all Video CDs
and Audio CDs (including finalized CD Recordable and CD
Rewritable).
You will find the On-Screen Display, player display, and remote
control make the player easy to use. This manual provides all the
information you will need, so read on!
DVD-Video
You will recognize DVD-Video discs by the logo shown on left.
Depending on the material on the disc (a movie, video clips, a
drama series, etc.) the disc may have one or more Titles. Each
Title may have one or more Chapters. To make playback easy and
convenient, your
player lets you select Titles and playback Chapters.

Video CD
You will recognize Video CDs by the logo shown at left.
Depending on the material on the disc (a movie, video clips, a drama
series, etc.) the disc may have one or more tracks. Tracks may have
one or more indexes, as indicated on the disc case. To make playback
easy and convenient, your player lets you select tracks and indexes.
Super VCD
SVCD discs based on the Super VCD IO Standard based on the
Standard of the Electronics Industry of the People’s Republic of China.
Audio CD
Audio CDs contain music tracks only.
You will recognize Audio CDs by their logo which is shown at left.
You can play them in conventional style through a stereo system,
using the keys on the remote control and/or front panel, or via the
TV using the On-Screen Display (OSD).
Unpacking
First check and identify the contents of your DVD-Video player
package.
You should have the following items.
- DVD-Video player
- Remote Control with batteries
- AC power cable
- Audio/Video cable
- Instructions for use
If any item is damaged or missing, contact your retailer or Philips.
Keep the packaging materials; you may need them to transport
your player in the future.
Placement
● Place the player on a firm, flat surface.
● Keep the player 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 cannot read CDs/DVDs correctly, use a
commonly available cleaning CD/DVD to clean the lens before
taking the DVD-Video player to be repaired. Other cleaning
methods 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 then. Leave the DVD-Video player in a warm environment
until the moisture evaporates.
