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.Stor y 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 set­up). 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.
