6 Introduction

Welcome!

We hope you enjoy this Player and learn to appreciate its features. Read this manual carefully to learn to use the following features.

Features

When referring to this manual, remember...

Indicates the feature may be on some Digital Video Discs.

Indicates the feature may be on some Audio Compact Discs.

Indicates the feature may be on some Video Compact Discs.

DVD Disc Menus

Some explanations in this manual describe the DVD Disc Menus, which vary among DVDs. DVD Disc Menus allow you to choose different playback features from those available on the DVD. If the DVD has a menu, access it by pressing DISC MENU on the remote control. Details are on page 20.

Player’s System Menu or Setup Menu

Some instructions explain how to use the Player’s System Menu to set up features of the Player or the Disc. Access the Player’s System Menu by pressing SYSTEM MENU on the remote control. Even if a feature is set up in the System Menu, it will not be available if the current Disc does not include that feature. The Player also refers to the System Menu as the Setup Menu. These are the same.

Available Disc Features

Features described in this manual may not be available on every Disc. If the feature is not on the Disc, you cannot use the Player to make the feature available. The will appear in the top left corner of the TV screen if you try to access a feature that is not on the Disc.

Region Codes

DVDs must be labeled for ALL regions or for Region 1 in order to play on this Player. You cannot play Discs that are labeled for other regions. Look for the symbols below on your DVDs. If these region symbols do not appear on your DVD, you cannot play the DVD in this Player.

The number inside the globe refers to a region of the world. Region 1 represents the United States of America, Canada, upper regions of North America, Bermuda, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and small regions near Australia. A Disc encoded in a specific region format can play only on DVD Players that have the same region code. So, if a Disc is labeled for Region 2, you cannot play that DVD on this Player (because this is a Region 1 Player).

Color Systems

Different color systems are available throughout the world. DVD makers record DVDs in a certain Color System. The Color System of the DVD may appear on the DVD or its case. The most common color systems are NTSC, which is used primarily in the United States and North America, PAL, and SECAM. The Player’s Color System must be the same as your DVDs and your TV. Set the Player’s Color System to NTSC or PAL by repeatedly pressing VIDEO SYS on the remote while playback is stopped. Details are on page 33.

• If you are having trouble playing a certain Disc, remove the Disc and try a different one. Improperly formatted Discs will not play on this Player.

• This Player supports only the first session of multi-session Discs.

Helpful Hints

Playable Discs

This Player will play Digital Video Discs (DVDs), Video Compact Discs (VCDs), Super Video CDs, Audio CDs, and the Audio CD layer of Super Audio CDs. This Player also plays MP3 files recorded onto a Compact Disc Recordable (CD-R) or a Compact Disc Rewritable (CD-RW). Discs having the following logos should play on this Player. DVDs must also meet the Region Code and Color System requirements described below.

Cleaning Discs

● Clean Discs with a cleaning cloth. Wipe from the center to the edge in

a straight line.

● Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially-available

cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for analog discs.

● If the Player cannot read Discs correctly, use a commonly available

cleaning CD/DVD to clean the lens. Other cleaning methods may destroy the lens. Always keep the tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.

● The lens may cloud over if you suddenly move the Player from cold to

warm surroundings. Playing a Disc is not possible then. Leave the power on for about one hour with no Disc in the unit until playback is possible.

8 Hookups

Determining the best possible connection...

Your existing equipment, especially your TV, will determine your connection possibilities. However, the following guidelines describe which options provide the best picture and sound quality.

HHHHHHHH

Component Video provides the best picture quality. Details are on page 11.

HHHHHH

S-Video provides excellent picture quality. Details are on page 10.

HHHH

Composite Video (a yellow Video jack) provides good picture quality.

Details are on page nine.

HHHH

Your TV may have only an RF-style jack, usually labeled Antenna In or 75 ohm or RF In. You will need an RF modulator in order to view the Player’s materials at your TV. See your electronics retailer or contact Philips for details on RF modulator availability and operations.

HHHHHHHH

Digital audio connections provide the clearest sound, but you must have a digital Stereo. Connect either the COAXIAL or OPTICAL Digital Audio Out jack of the Player to your Stereo’s Coaxial or Optical Digital Audio In jack for the best sound quality.

Details are on page 13.

HHHHHHHH

If you have a Multichannel Receiver, connect the Player’s FL, FR, SL, SR, CENTER, and SUBW. jacks to the corresponding In jacks on the Receiver. (A Multichannel Receiver is connected to six speakers: Front Left, Front Right, Surround/Rear Left, Surround/Rear Right, Center, and Subwoofer.) Details are on page 14.

HHHHHH

If you have a Philips Multichannel Receiver, it may have a Multichannel 5.1 Audio In jack. If so, connect the Player’s MULTI-5.1 (Out) jack to the appropriate Multichannel 5.1 Audio In jack on the Philips Receiver.

HHHHHH

If digital connections or multichannel connections are not possible, connect the Player’s FL (front left, white) and FR (front right, red) jacks to the left and right Audio In jacks of your Stereo or TV. Details are on pages 9-12. If your TV has a single Audio In jack instead of separate left/right Audio In jacks, you will need a different audio cable than the one supplied. You need a “splitter” audio cable to go from the FL (front left, white) and FR (front right, red) jacks of the Player to the single Audio In jack on your TV. See an electronics retailer or contact Philips for details.

Before you begin...

● Refer to the manuals of your TV, Stereo, Receiver, or other equipment as necessary. Note the

style of jacks and connectors on the other equipment. Determine how to choose different Audio and Video In channels on your other equipment so you can see and hear the Player’s materials on the TV, Stereo, etc. Some equipment may let you choose the channels using a remote control or by adjusting a TV/VIDEO/AUXILIARY/SOURCE switch.

● Disconnect all equipment from the power outlets. Connect the equipment to the power outlets

only after you have finished hooking up everything. Never make or change connections with equipment connected to the power outlet.

Remember...

● Connect the Player directly to the TV. For example, do not connect the Player to a VCR, then

connect the VCR to a TV. This type of connection may distort the picture and sound. Also, your VCR may have a copy protection system that may distort the picture or prevent playback of some Discs.

● Set the TV to the correct Video In channel. Such channels may be called AUX or AUXILIARY IN,

AUDIO/VIDEO or A/V IN, EXT1 or EXT2 or External In, etc. These channels are often near channel 00. Your TV or its remote control may have a Video or Auxiliary switch/button that allows you to choose the correct Video In channel. See your TV manual for details. Or, change TV channels until you see the Player’s blue background screen on the TV.

● Set the Stereo or Receiver to the correct channel or “source” mode.

● Do not connect any of the Player’s Audio Out jacks (FL, FR, etc.) to the PHONO IN jack of your

Stereo.

● You only need one audio connection and one video connection between the Player and your TV

and/or Stereo. So, you will not use all the jacks on the Player.

● Set TV TYPE (page 33), VIDEO OUT (page 35), and AUDIO OUT (page 36) accordingly.

Once you determine the best option, find your choice on pages 9-14. Follow the steps for the hookup you choose.

Hookups (cont’d) 15

Putting Batteries in the Remote Control

Remove the battery compartment lid on the back of the remote control by pressing in the tab, then lifting off the lid.

Place two AA batteries inside the battery compartment with their +and –ends aligned as indicated. Do not mix old

and new batteries or different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, etc.).

Replace the battery compartment lid as shown at right.

Using the Remote Control

Always point the remote control directly at the remote sensor (IR or infrared) on the front of the Player, not the TV. Details are on page 18. Make sure there are no barriers between the remote control and the Player.

Connecting the Base

A base is provided with the Player to add stability and to allow you to position the Player horizontally or vertically, whichever fits your setup situation best. To connect the base, follow these steps.

Use a coin to loosen the screw on the base.

Decide whether you want to attach the Player to the base vertically or horizontally. Turn the Player vertically or horizontally, then find the screw hole in the Player that you need to use.

If you want to attach the Player to the base horizontally, use the screw hole that is just below the COAXIAL and OPTICAL jacks. If you want to attach the Player to the base vertically, use the screw hole that is to the right of the MULTI-5.1 jack.

Place the Player on the base so the screw aligns with the hole on the Player. Insert and tighten the screw to secure the Player to the base. Use a coin to tighten the screw.
