(01 or 02), then change TV channels downward until you see the blue DVD screen on the TV.
Remember...
● Connect the DVD 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 or give you a
black and white picture. Also, your VCR might have the copy protection system, which could distort
the DVD image or prevent playback of some Discs.
● If your TV does not have red, white, and yellow Audio and Video In jacks, see the DVD
Player’s owner’s manual for other hookup options. If your TV only has a single Antenna
In or RF In jack, you will need an RF modulator. See the owner’s manual for details.
● If a DVD does not play properly, please contact Philips at 1-800-531-0039 for assistance. Due to the
inconsistency of Disc formats provided by various Disc manufacturers, your DVD Player may require
a playability enhancement. As DVD technology has advanced, these enhancements have become
both common and easy to complete.
