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

1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.

2. Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A, 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 5A. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5A.

NOTE

The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A socket.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Blue - 'Neutral' ('N'); Brown - 'Live' ('L')

1. The Blue wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter 'N' or coloured Black.

2. The Brown wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter 'L' or coloured Red.

3. Do not connect either wires to the earth terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter 'E' or by the safety earth symbol 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

DVD-VIDEO-THE ENTERTAINMENT MEDIUM FOR THE MILLENIUM

Video was never like this before! Perfect digital studio-quality pictures with truly 3-dimensional digital multichannel audio. Story sequences screened from your own choice of camera angle. Language barriers broken down by sound tracks in as many as eight languages, plus subtitles - when you want them - as many as 32. And whether you watch DVD-Video on widescreen 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 dual-standard player can play both types, and present them in the best possible way on your multistandard TV screen.

As the universal video system of the future, DVD-Video offers optimal pictures on any TV screen.

CONSTRUCTION

DVD has a four times denser recording pattern, and only half the focal length of CD. But full compatibility demands accurate signal readout from both types of disc. That’s why this player features a Dual-lens, single-laser optical pickup, guaranteeing the best accuracy in both cases. The individual lenses are optimized for spherical aberration, which is not possible with dual-focus hologram systems. Lens selection is automatic whenever a disc is loaded. Stepping motor technology (already proven in Philips CD-ROM drives) ensures very fast direct access to the video and audio of your choice. Years of experience in optical drive control are embedded in the Philips High-Density signal processor which optimizes stepping motor control to get the best possible readout of high-density DVD-Video discs.

INTRODUCTION

Your Philips DVD-Video player is one of the first-generation players for 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, and stereo or multichannel sound (depending on the disc, and on your playback set-up). The unique features of DVD-Video, such as selection of sound track and subtitle languages, and of different camera angles (again depending on the disc), are all included. What’s more, Philips Parental Control lets you decide which discs your children will be able to see.

You will find your player remarkably easy to use, by way of the On-Screen Display and player display, in combination with the remote control.

In addition to DVD-Video discs, you will also be able to play all Video CDs and audio CDs. The disc types which run on the player feature one or more of these logos on the disc packaging:

First check and identify the contents of your DVD-Video player package, as listed below:

• DVD-Video player;

• Remote Control Handset with separately-packed batteries;

• 2-core power cord;

• Euroconnector cable (Europe);

• S-Video cable (USA);

• User Manual

If any item should be damaged or missing, please inform your supplier without delay.

Keep the packaging materials; you may need them to transport your player in the future.

• Place the player on a firm, flat surface.

• Keep 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.

MULTI-CHANNEL SOUND FOR HOME THEATRE

For multichannel sound, your player provides both digital and analog audio outputs.

DIGITAL (MPEG 2 MULTICHANNEL OR DOLBY DIGITAL™) MULTICHANNEL SOUND

For this, which provides the highest possible sound quality, you need a digital multichannel A/V receiver. Connect the player’s digital audio output to the corresponding input on the receiver using the optional digital audio cable. In this case, do not use the player’s audio Left and Right outputs.

You will need to activate the digital output of the player

(See

Settings p. 15).

The audio format of the digital output is dependent on the audio format of the selected audio stream. Make sure that the selected audio stream matches the capabilities of the receiver connected to the digital output.

ANALOG (DOLBY PRO LOGIC™) MULTICHANNEL SOUND

If your TV set has a Dolby Pro Logic™ decoder, you simply hook up the player to the TV using the Euroconnector, S-Video and audio, or Video (CVBS) and audio connections p. 7. If not, you need to make the Euroconnector, S-Video, or Video (CVBS) connection to the TV p. 7, and connect the player’s audio Left and Right outputs to the corresponding inputs on a Dolby Pro Logic™ Audio/Video receiver, using the cable supplied.

For speaker connections, follow the instructions given in the TV set or A/V receiver user manual.

NOTE

– You cannot use the RF antenna connection for home theatre. – If the audio format of the digital output does not match the

capabilities of your receiver, the sound will be muted.

NTSC/PAL SETTING

Use this switch to set the player menu output according to the TV-set used.

NOTE

- The video output standard for Video CD and DVD-Video discs most corresponds to the disc being played.

DIGITAL AUDIO (STEREO) SOUND CONNECTION

For this connection, which produces the highest possible stereo sound quality, you need an audio amplifier with digital audio input. Connect the player’s digital audio output to the

corresponding input on the amplifier. In this case, do not use the player’s audio Left and Right outputs.
