Important Note for Users in the UK

Mains plug

This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp plug.To
change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follo

ve fuse cover and fuse.

1 Remo
2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp,

A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.

3 Refit the fuse cover.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should
be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5
Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used,the fuse at the
distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.

Note:The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible
shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket
elsewhere.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following

lue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).

code: b
As these colours ma

markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as
follows:

• Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or
coloured black.

• Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L
or coloured red.

• Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in
the plug, marked E (or e) or coloured green
(or green and yellow).

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip
is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the
two wires.

Introduction 1

Thank you for purchasing this Philips DVD player.
This Owner’s Manual explains the basic
operation of this DVD player.

Environmental Information

All unnecessary packaging has been omitted. We
have tried to make the packaging easy to
separate into three materials: cardboard (box),
polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags,
protective foam sheet).

Your DVD player consists of materials which can
be recycled and reused if disassembled by a
specialised company. Please observe the local
regulations regarding the disposal of packaging
materials, exhausted batteries and old
equipment.

Supplied accessories

– Remote control
– Batteries (two AA size) for remote control
– Audio cable
– SCART cable (not available for all versions)
– Owner’s Manual

Safety Information

● Before operating the DVD player, check that the

operating voltage indicated on the typeplate (or
the voltage indication beside the voltage
selector) is identical with the voltage of your
local power supply. If not, please consult your
dealer.

● Place the DVD player on a flat, hard and stable

surface.

● There must be sufficient room in front of the

player for the drawer to be opened.

● In a cabinet, allow about 2.5cm (1 inch) of free

space all around the player for adequate
ventilation.

● Do not expose your player to extreme

temperature or humidity.

● If the DVD player is brought directly from a cold

to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp
room, moisture may condense on the lens of the
disc unit inside the DVD player. Should this occur,
the DVD player would not operate normally.
Leave the power on for about one hour with no
disc in the DVD player until normal playback is
possible.

● The mechanical par ts of the set contain self-

lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or
lubricated.

● When the DVD player is switched to

Standby mode, it is still consuming some
power. To disconnect the system from
the power supply completely, remove the
AC power plug from the wall socket.

Symbols Used in this Manual

The below symbols appear in some headings
and notes with the following meanings:

Helpful Hints!

● Some DVD video discs require specific

functions or allow only limited functions
during playback.

● “ “ may appears on the TV screen

which means that the function is not
available on that specific DVD video disc.
