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 OnScreen 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 cord
- Audio/Video cable
- SCART 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.
