Introduction

Entertainment for the new millennium

Video was never like this before! Digital video discs provide perfect
digital, studio-quality pictures; with three dimensional digital, multi­channel 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.

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.The manual provides all information you will
need, so read on!

commonly available cleaning CD/DVD to clean the lens before taking the
DVD-Video player to be repaired. Other cleaning methods may destroy
the lens.Always keep the tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.
