Playable Discs 7
Region Codes
DVDs must be labeled for ALL regions or for Region 1 in order to play on this Player. You cannot play Discs that are labeled for other regions. Look for the symbols below on your DVDs. If these region symbols do not appear on your DVD, you cannot play the DVD in this Player.
The number inside the globe refers to a region of the world. Region 1 repre­sents the United States of America, Canada, upper regions of North America, Bermuda, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and small regions near Australia. A Disc encoded in a specific region format can play only on DVD Players that have the same region code. So, if a Disc is labeled for Region 2, you cannot play that DVD on this Player (because it is a Region 1 Player).
Color Systems
Different color systems are available throughout the world. DVD makers record DVDs in a certain color system. The color system of the DVD may appear on the DVD or its case. The most common color systems are NTSC (which is used primarily in the United States), PAL, and SECAM. This Player is compatible with both the NTSC and PAL color systems. Follow the steps on page 39 to set the Player to NTSC or PAL. Choose a setting that matches the color system of your TV and your DVDs.
• If you are having trouble playing a certain Disc, remove the Disc and try a different one. Improperly formatted Discs will not play on this Player.
• This Player supports only the first session of multi-session Discs.
Helpful Hints
Playable Discs
This Player will play Digital Video Discs (DVDs), Video Compact Discs (VCDs), Super Video CDs, Audio CDs, and Super Audio CDs. This Player also will play MP3 files (music tracks compressed with MPEG Audio Layer 3 technology) recorded onto a Compact Disc Recordable (CD-R) or a Compact Disc Rewritable (CD-RW). Discs having the following logos should play on this Player. DVDs must also meet the Region Code and Color System requirements described below.
Cleaning Discs and the Player
Clean Discs with a cleaning cloth, wiping from the center out in a
straight line. Do not wipe the Disc in a circular motion.
Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially-available
cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for analog discs.
If the Player cannot read Discs correctly, use a commonly available
CD/DVD lens cleaner. Other cleaning methods may destroy the lens. Always keep the tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.
The lens may cloud over if you suddenly move the Player from cold to
warm surroundings. Playing a Disc is not possible then. Leave the power on for about one hour with no Disc in the unit until playback is possible.
To clean the Player’s cabinet, use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a
mild detergent solution. Do not use a solution containing alcohol, spir­its, ammonia, or abrasives.

8 Hookups
Determining the best possible connection...
Your existing equipment, especially your TV, will determine your connection possibilities. However, the following guidelines describe which options provide the best picture and sound quality.
HHHHHHHH
Component Video provides the best picture quality. Details are on page 12.
HHHHHH
S-Video provides excellent picture quality. Details are on page 11.
HHHH
Composite Video (a yellow Video jack) provides good picture quality.
Details are on page 10.
HHHH
Your TV may have only an RF-style jack, usually labeled Antenna In, 75 ohm, or RF In. You must purchase an RF modulator and extra RF coaxial cable.
Details are on page 9.
HHHHHHHH
Digital audio connections provide the clearest sound, but you must have a digital stereo. Connect either the COAXIAL or OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack of the Player to your Stereo for the best sound quality. Details are on page 13. You cannot hear SACDs or MP3 files playing if you use the Digital Audio connections.
HHHHHH
If you have a Multichannel Receiver, (which is connected to Front, Center, and Surround/Rear Speakers and a subwoofer) connect the Players MULTICHANNEL AUDIO OUT jacks to the corresponding IN jacks on the Receiver.
Details are on page 14.
HHHHHH
If digital connections or multichannel connections are not possible, connect the Player’s red and white (right and left) AUDIO OUT jacks to the Audio In jacks of your Stereo or TV. Details are on pages 9-12. If your TV has a single Audio In jack instead of separate left/right Audio In jacks, you will need a different audio cable than the one supplied. You need a splitter audio cable to go from the left/right AUDIO OUT jacks of the Player to the single Audio In jack on your TV. See an electronics retailer or contact Philips for details.
Before you begin...
Refer to the manuals of your TV, Stereo, Receiver, or other equipment as necessary. Note the
style of jacks and connectors on the other equipment. Determine how to choose different Audio and Video In channels on your other equipment so you can see and hear the Player’s materials on the TV, Stereo, etc. Some equipment may let you choose the channels using a remote control or by adjusting a TV/VIDEO/AUXILIARY switch.
Disconnect all equipment from the power outlets. Connect the equipment to the power outlets
only after you have finished hooking up everything. Never make or change connections with equipment connected to the power outlet.
Remember...
Connect the 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. Also, your VCR may have a copy protection system that may distort the picture or prevent playback of some Discs.
Set the TV to the correct Video In channel. Such channels may be called AUX or AUXILIARY
IN, AUDIO/VIDEO or A/V IN, EXT1 or EXT2 or External In, etc. These channels are often near channel 00. Your TV or its remote control may have a Video or Auxiliary switch/button that allows you to choose the correct Video In channel. See your TV manual for details. Or, go to channel 1 on the TV and change TV channels down until you see the Players blue screen saver on the TV. Unless you are using an RF modulator, the TVs Video In channel is not channel 3 or 4 (as it might be with a VCR).
Set the Stereo or Receiver to the correct channel or source mode.
Do not connect the Players AUDIO OUT jacks to the PHONO IN jack of your Stereo.
You only need one audio connection and one video connection between the Player and your
TV and/or Stereo or Receiver. So, you might not use all the jacks on the Player.
Set TV System (page 39), Digital output (page 43), and/or Analog output (page 44) accordingly.
Once you determine the best option, find your choice on pages 9-15. Follow the steps for the hookup you choose.
Before you begin, make sure you have an RF modulator and extra RF coaxial cables. These are not supplied with the Player, but are available from Philips or most con­sumer electronics retailers.
1
Connect the supplied video cable (which has yellow ends) to the Player’s yellow CVBS VIDEO OUT jack. Connect the other end of the cable to the VIDEO IN jack on the RF modulator. The VIDEO IN jack on the RF modulator is usually yellow and might
be labelled VIDEO, CVBS, COMPOSITE, or BASEBAND.
