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 full­length 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.
