Introduction

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 - if available on disc - as many as 32.And
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 dual-standard player can play both types, and presents 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.

Introduction

Your Philips DVD-Video player is a player 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 Child Lock
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 On­Screen 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 (including CDR and CDRW).

DVD-Video

You will recognize DVD-Video discs by the logo.
Depending on the material on the disc (a movie, video clips, a drama
series, etc.) these discs may have one or more Titles, and each Title may
have one or more Chapters.To make access easy and convenient, your
player lets you move between Titles, and also between Chapters.
