Important Note for Users in the UK
Mains plug
This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp plug.To
change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp,
A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3 Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should
be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5
Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the
distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.
Note:The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible
shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket
elsewhere.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following
code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).
As these colours may not correspond with the colour
markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as
follows:
• Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or
coloured black.
• Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L
or coloured red.
• Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in
the plug, marked E (or e) or coloured green
(or green and yellow).
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip
is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the
two wires.

Environmental Information
¶ Your system consists of materials that can be recycled and
reused if disassembled by a specialized company. Please
observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of
packaging materials, exhausted batteries and old equipment.
Super Video CD (SVCD)
SVCDs are based on the Super VCD IO Standard, referring
to the Standard of Electronics Industry of the People’s
Republic of China.
Audio CD
Audio CDs contain music tracks only.
You will recognise Audio CDs by the logo shown.
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)
This player supports the MP3 format which contains

Unpacking
First check and identify the contents of your DVD Video
player package.
You should have the following items.
– DVD-Video player

– Remote Control with batteries
– Audio cables
– CVBS cable
– SCART cable
– Instructions for use
If any item is damaged or missing, contact your retailer or

Safety Information
¶ Do not expose the system to excessive moisture, rain, sand,
or heat sources.
¶ Place the player on a firm, flat surface.
¶ Keep the player away from domestic heating equipment
and direct sunlight.
¶ In a cabinet, allow about 2.5 cm (1 inch) of free space all
around the player for adequate ventilation.
¶ If the DVD Video player cannot read CDs/DVDs correctly,
use a 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.
¶ The lens may cloud over when the DVD Video player is
suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings. Playing a
CD/DVD is not possible then. Leave the power on for
about one hour with no disc in the unit until normal
playback is possible.

Connecting to Optional
Equipment
Connecting to an amplifier equipped with
two channel analog stereo or Dolby
Surround
1 Connect the Left and Right AUDIO OUT jacks of the DVD
player to the audio left and right in jacks on your amplifier,
receiver or stereo system, using the supplied audio cable
(A).
Note:
– You cannot use the MP3 function with the Digital Out
connectors.
Connecting to an amplifier equipped with
two channel digital stereo (PCM) or to an
Audio/Video receiver equipped with a
multi-channel decoder (Dolby Digital™,
MPEG 2 or DTS)
1 Connect the player’s digital audio out jack (optical G or
coaxial F) to the corresponding digital audio in on your
amplifier. Use an optional digital (optical G or coaxial F)
audio cable.
2 You will need to activate the player’s digital output (see
‘Personal Preferences’).
Digital Multi-channel sound
The digital multi-channel connection provides the best
sound quality. For this you need a multi-channel Audio/
Video receiver that supports one or more of the audio
formats supported by your DVD player (MPEG 2, Dolby
Digital™ or DTS). Check the receiver manual and the logos
on the front of the receiver.
AMPLIFIER
Note:
– If the audio format of the digital output does not match the
capabilities of your receiver, the receiver will produce a strong,
distorted sound or no sound at all.
– Six Channel Digital Surround Sound via digital connection
can only be obtained if your receiver has a Digital Multichannel decoder.
– To see the selected audio format of the current DVD in the
Status Window, press SYSTEM MENU or Audio button.
Cinemalink (on SCART)
This DVD player is equipped with cinemalink feature (from
Philips) which allows a more complete control of your
home audio/video (AV) equipment.
Cinemalink interconnection plug & playback will enable the
AV system to recognise the users intention and
automatically switch the necessary controls or input source
accordingly. This will reduce the necessity of having multiple
control inputs for all AV equipments (eg. TV and Amplifier).
Analog connection to a multi-channel A/V
receiver with 6 CH connectors (Dolby
Digital & DTS)
This DVD player contains a multi-channel decoder. This
enables playback of DVDs recorded in Multi-channel
Surround without the need for an optional decoder.
1 Connect the audio out jacks for Center speaker and
Subwoofer connection (C) to the corresponding in jacks on
your receiver.
2 Connect the audio Left and Right out jacks for Front
speaker connection (B) to the corresponding in jack
sockets on your receiver.
3 Connect the audio Left and Right out jacks for Surround
speaker connection (D) to the corresponding in jacks on
your receiver.
4 Make the appropriate Sound settings for Analog Output
and Speaker Settings in the Personal Preferences menu.

Delay times
The DVD player is set to reproduce correctly synchronized
Digital Surround Sound in a listening area where the
surround speakers are about 150cm nearer to the listening
position than the front speakers, and the center speaker is
in line with the front speakers. To adjust for other listening
area arrangements, adapt delay times according to the
following:
Digital Surround
Measure the distances in centimeters from the front
speaker plane and from the surround speaker plane to the
listening positioning plane.
Subtract the surround distance from the front distance and
divide by 30. The result is the required Surround Channel
delay time in milliseconds.
If the center speaker is on the front speaker plane, no
center speaker delay is needed. If, however, it is nearer to
the listening position, measure the distance in centimeters
between the front and center speaker planes, and divide by
30. The result is the required Center Channel delay time in
milliseconds.
