WARNING
All ICs and many other semi-conductors are susceptible to electrostatic discharges (ESD). Careless handling during repair can reduce life drastically. When repairing, make sure that you are connected with the same potential as the mass of the set via a wrist wrap with resistance. Keep components and tools also at this potential.

WAARSCHUWING
AVVERTIMENTO
NL
Alle IC’s en vele andere halfgeleiders zijn gevoelig voor elektrostatische ontladingen (ESD). Onzorgvuldig behandelen tijdens reparatie kan de levensduur drastisch doen verminderen. Zorg ervoor dat u tijdens reparatie via een polsband met weerstand verbonden bent met hetzelfde potentiaal als de massa van het apparaat. Houd componenten en hulpmiddelen ook op ditzelfde potentiaal.
GB 3DVD 950 2.
Tous les IC et beaucoup d’autres semi­conducteurs sont sensibles aux décharges statiques (ESD). Leur longévité pourrait être considérablement écourtée par le fait qu’aucune précaution n’est prise a leur manipulation. Lors de réparations, s’assurer de bien être relié au même potentiel que la masse de l’appareil et enfiler le bracelet serti d’une résistance de sécurité. Veiller a ce que les composants ainsi que les outils que l’on utilise soient également a ce potentiel.
Alle IC und viele andere Halbleiter sind empfindlich gegen elektrostatische Entladungen (ESD). Unsorgfältige Behandlung bei der Reparatur kann die Lebensdauer drastisch vermindern. Sorgen sie dafür, das Sie im Reparaturfall über ein Pulsarmband mit Widerstand mit dem Massepotential des Gerätes verbunden sind. Halten Sie Bauteile und Hilfsmittel ebenfalls auf diesem Potential.
GB
Safety regulations require that the set be restored to its original condition and that parts which are identical with those specified be used.
NL
Veiligheidsbepalingen vereisen, dat het apparaat in zijn oorspronkelijke toestand wordt terug gebracht en dat onderdelen, identiek aan de gespecifieerde worden toegepast.
F
Les normes de sécurité exigent que l’appareil soit remis a l’état d’origine et que soient utilisées les pièces de rechange identiques à celles spécifiées.
Tutti IC e parecchi semi-conduttori sono sensibili alle scariche statiche (ESD). La loro longevita potrebbe essere fortemente ridatta in caso di non osservazione della piu grande cauzione alla loro manipolazione. Durante le riparazioni occorre quindi essere collegato allo stesso potenziale che quello della massa dell’apparecchio tramite un braccialetto a resistenza. Assicurarsi che i componenti e anche gli utensili con quali si lavora siano anche a questo potenziale.
D
Bei jeder Reparatur sind die geltenden Sicherheitsvorschriften zu beachten. Der Originalzustand des Gerats darf nicht verandert werden. Fur Reparaturen sind Original-Ersatzteile zu verwenden.

Le norme di sicurezza esigono che l’apparecchio venga rimesso nelle condizioni originali e che siano utilizzati pezzi di ricambiago idetici a quelli specificati.
SHOCK, FIRE HAZARD SERVICE TEST: CAUTION: After servicing this appliance and prior to returning to customer, measure the resistance between
either primary AC cord connector pins (with unit NOT connected to AC mains and its Power switch ON), and the face or Front Panel of product and controls and chassis bottom, Any resistance measurement less than 1 Megohms should cause unit to be repaired or corrected before AC power is applied, and verified before return to user/customer. Ref.UL Standard NO.1492.

Warning for powersupply on position 1005
The primary side of the powersupply including the heatsink carries live mains voltage when the player is connected to the mains even when the player is swiched off !
This primary area is not shielded so it is possible to touch copper tracks and/or components when servicing the player. Service personnel have to take precautions to prevent touching this area or components in this area . The primary side of the powersupply has been indicated with a lightning stroke and a stripe-marked printed on the printed wiring board
Note: The screws on the basic Engine (position 218 in on the exploded view drawing) may never be touched removed or re-adjusted. Handle the Basic engine with care when the unit has to be exchanged! The mechanism of the basic engine is very sensative for droping or shocks

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,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. DVDs 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 full-
length 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.Whats 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!
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.
