6 Introduction

Welcome!

This Digital Video Disc Player will allow you to enjoy better picture quality, clearer sound, and endless playback features on Digital Video Discs (DVDs) and Video Compact Discs (Video CDs). Expanding technology allows you to add options to your viewing - watch a director’s cut of a movie, listen to the producer’s comments, or play your favorite scene repeatedly. Hear a movie in different languages, or listen only to the soundtrack. The possibilities are limited only by your choices and the materials available on the DVD. Of course, you can listen to your favorite Audio and Super Audio Compact Discs on this DVD Player, too. Determine the order in which you want to hear the songs, or play the Disc repeatedly - all while seeing the status of the CD on your television. Some Super Audio CDs, known as hybrid discs, may also be played on a standard CD player. We hope you enjoy this DVD Player and learn to use its features. To get the most from the DVD Player, read this manual carefully. It will describe how you can access these features.

8 General Information

Putting Batteries in the Remote Control

Remove the battery compartment lid on the back of the remote con-

trol by pressing in the tab, then lifting off the lid.

Place two AA batteries inside the battery compartment with their

and –ends aligned as indicated. Do not mix old and new batteries or

different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, etc.).

Replace the battery compartment lid.

Using the Remote Control

Unless stated otherwise, the remote control can perform all operations. Always point the remote control directly at the front of the DVD Player, not the TV. Make sure there are no barriers between the remote control and the DVD Player.

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.

Safety Information

● Do not expose the system to excessive moisture, rain, sand, or heat

sources.

● Place the DVD Player on a firm, flat surface.

● Keep the DVD Player away from domestic heating equipment and

direct sunlight.

● When placing the DVD Player in a cabinet, allow about one inch of

space all around the DVD Player for ventilation.

Cleaning Discs

● When a Disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the

Disc from the center out, in a straight line.

● Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available

cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for analog discs.

● If the DVD Player cannot read Discs correctly, use a commonly avail-

able cleaning CD/DVD to clean the lens. 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 DVD 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 normal playback is possible.

Hookups 9

Depending on your TV and other equipment you wish to connect, there are various ways you could connect the DVD Player. Use only one of the connections described in the following pages.

Before you begin...

● Refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR, Stereo System or other devices

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 DVD Player on the TV, Stereo, etc.

● 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.

Determining the best possible connection...

Your hookup will be determined primarily by feature availability of your existing equipment. However, the following guidelines describe which options have the best picture and sound quality.

 Use Component Video jacks (Pr/Cr, Pb/Cb, Y) for the best

picture quality.

 Use Progressive Scan (PROGRESSIVE SCAN OUT Pr/Cr,

Pb/Cb, Y) if your TV has Progressive Scan Video In jacks. Use the DVD Player’s PROGRESSIVE SCAN OUT jacks instead of the Player’s Pr/Cr, Pb/Cb, Y Component Video jacks.

 Use the S-Video jack for excellent picture quality.  Use the yellow CVBS Video jack for good picture quality.  If your TV only has an RF-style jack, usually labelled

Antenna In or 75 ohm, you will need an adapter in order to connect the DVD Player to the TV. Ask your

electronics retailer for details. The DVD picture still will exceed the quality of videotapes and other analog recordings.

 Digital audio connections provide the clearest sound.

Connect one of the DVD Player’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jacks (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) to your Stereo Receiver for the best sound quality.

 If digital connections are not possible, connect the DVD Player’s

red and white AUDIO OUT jacks to the Audio In jacks of your Stereo Receiver or TV.

Remember...

● Connect the DVD Player directly to the TV. For example, do not

connect the DVD Player to a VCR, then connect the VCR to a TV. This type of connection may distort the picture and sound. Also, your VCR might have the copy protection system, which could further distort the DVD image.

The Player lets you adjust the speaker settings, volume balance, and delay time for your audio system. You only need to adjust the speaker settings if you used the Player’s MULTICHANNEL AUDIO OUT jacks to connect the Player to a six-channel Receiver (Dolby Digital or DTS) as shown on page 14.

Press SYSTEM MENU, then press ; to select VV.

Press 9 repeatedly to select q , then press :.

Press 9 repeatedly to select Speakers, then press :.

Press 8 or 9 to select the speaker you want to adjust, then press :.

You can select Front L & R (left and right), Center, Surround L (left), Surround R (right), or Sub Woofer. The speaker you selected will be highlighted in the illustration at the right of the screen.

Press : or ; to select B, , or X. Then, press 8 or 9 to adjust the chosen setting. When you are finished, press OK to go back and select a different speaker. Repeat steps 4-5 until you are satisfied with all

the speaker settings.

● Choose B to increase or decrease the volume of the speaker.

● Choose to adjust the frequency capabilities of your speakers.

Select L (large) if the chosen speaker can handle low frequency signals below 120 Hz. Select S (small) if the speaker can not reproduce low frequency signals below 120 Hz. Select c (off) if you did not connect that speaker. Your choice will appear below the bar at the bottom of the screen. See your speakers’ literature for details on speaker capability.

● Choose X to adjust the speaker delay time. You can adjust the delay time

for only the Center and Surround speakers. If the surround speakers are about 150 centimeters nearer to the listening position than the front speakers, and the center speaker aligns with the front speakers, no adjustment is needed. If your speaker setup is different, adjust the delay times. First, measure the distance, in centimeters, from the front speaker to the listening position and from the surround speaker to the listening position. Subtract the surround distance from the front distance, then divide by 30. The result is the Surround speaker delay time in milliseconds. You may choose 0 ms, 5 ms, 10 ms, or 15 ms in the X column for Surround L and Surround R. Press 8 or 9 to choose the delay time in the X column for Surround L and Surround R that is closest to the delay time you calculated in milliseconds (ms). Or, if the Center speaker is closest to the listening position, measure the distance (in centimeters) between the Front and Center speakers, then divide by 30. The result is the required Center speaker delay time in milliseconds. Press 8 or 9 to select this delay time in milliseconds (ms) in the X column for Center. You may choose 1-5 ms.

No power

• Press the POWER ON/OFF button on the front of the DVD Player to turn on the DVD Player.

• Make sure you connected the power cord to an AC power outlet and to the MAINS jack on the

rear of the DVD Player.

• Make sure the AC outlet has power by plugging in another appliance.

No picture

• Make sure the TV power is on.

• Check the video cables. Make sure the cable(s) are fastened securely to the DVD Player and the TV.

• Set your TV to the correct Video In channel. These channels are usually near channel 00. Or, you

may have a button on the TV remote control that selects an Auxiliary or A/V IN channel. See your TV owner’s manual for details. Or, just change channels at the TV until you see the DVD logo on the TV screen.

• Make sure the Audio Direct feature is turned off. Details are on page 49.

Distorted picture

• Check the Disc for fingerprints. Clean the Disc with a soft cloth, wiping from the center to the edge in a straight line.

• Sometimes a small amount of picture distortion may appear. This is not a malfunction.

The picture is distorted, the picture rolls, or the picture is only black and white during DVD or Video CD playback.

• TVs are produced to meet NTSC or PAL color system standards. If the Disc’s or DVD Player’s color system is different than your TV’s color system, the picture will be distorted or colorless. However, you can change the color system of the DVD Player by adjusting the TV System setting. In the United States, NTSC is the most common TV color system. Choose NTSC, PAL, or Auto, depending on your TV. Details are on pages 7 and 15.

No sound

• Check the audio connections. Details are on pages 9-14. Remember, you only need one audio con- nection.

• Make sure cables are connected firmly to all equipment.

• Select another sound source or Auxiliary station at your Stereo Receiver. See your Stereo

Receiver’s manual for details. Or, just continue selecting the different sound sources or modes on the Stereo Receiver until you hear sound from the Disc that is in the DVD Player. Details are on

pages 9-14.

• Check your Analog output settings or Digital output settings. Make sure you choose the right setting, based on what equipment you connected to the DVD Player. Details are on pages 10-14 and 43-

45.

• Check the Audio setting of the DVD in the DVD Disc Menu, if available, and adjust as necessary.

• Some Audio CDs available on the market are copy protected. Those discs will not play on this DVD

Player. See your retailer for options regarding non-protected Audio CDs.

The sound is distorted during Disc playback through a Stereo.

• Make sure you did not connect any cables from the DVD Player to the Amplifier’s “Phono IN” jack.

Disc will not play.

• Make sure the Disc label is facing up. If you are playing a two-sided Disc, make sure the side you want to play is facing up. Details are on page 16.

• Check the Access Control settings for the Disc. Details are on pages 30-34.

• Check the NTSC/PAL settings of the Disc and the DVD Player. Details are on page 15.

• Check the Region Code of the Disc. The Disc must be coded for All regions or Region 1 in order to

play on this DVD Player. Details are on page 7.

• See if the Disc is defective by trying another Disc. Make sure the Disc is not scratched or warped. Carefully clean the Disc. Details are on page 8.

• Use a commonly available cleaning CD/DVD to clean the lens of the DVD Player.

Helpful Hints (cont'd), Diagnostic Test 51

The DVD logo does not appear on the TV screen after you remove a Disc.

• Reset the DVD Player by switching it off, then on again.

The DVD Player does not respond to the remote control.

• Aim the remote control directly at the sensor on the front of the DVD Player.

Details are on page 8.

• Remove any obstacles between the DVD Player and the remote control.

• Inspect or replace the batteries in the remote control.

• The remote control may have accidentally been set to operate another DVD Player. Press and hold

the AUDIO DIRECT and OPEN/CLOSE buttons on the DVD Player at the same time, while turning the power on, to reset the remote control to operate the DVD Player.

The buttons on the DVD Player or remote control do not work.

• Make sure the Audio Direct feature is turned off. Details are on page 49.

• To reset the DVD Player completely, disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet for sev-

eral minutes. Then reconnect the DVD Player to power again.

The DVD Player will not select some features, such as Angles, Subtitles, or multi-language Audio.

• The feature may not be available on the Disc. If it is not, an “X” will appear on the TV screen.

Check the Disc case to see if the Disc has the feature. If the Disc does not have the feature, the DVD Player can not create the feature. This is not a malfunction of the DVD Player.

The still picture is dim or dark.

• A still picture will dim or darken if you leave it on the screen for more than five minutes. This dim-

ming prevents the still image from etching itself into your TV picture tube or screen. To protect your TV, avoid leaving a still image on the screen. This includes video games, station identification logos, etc.

Diagnostic Test Mode

If the player still does not function properly, follow these steps to complete the Player's diagnostic test.

Press the ON/OFF button to turn off the Player.

Press and hold OPEN/CLOSE and PAUSE on the front of the Player. Keeping the buttons pressed, press ON/OFF to turn on the Player.

“BUSY” will appear on the display, along with a counter that counts down as the test is run- ning. The test ends when the counter reaches zero.

After a few minutes, the message on the display will change from BUSY to FAIL or PASS.

● If FAIL appears, the Player has a failure and should be repaired. Consult the Philips Customer

Care Center for the nearest Factory Service Center.

● If PASS appears on the display, there is apparently no failure in your Player. The problem could be

caused by incorrect interpretation of the instructions, the use of a wrong Disc, or an incorrect connection. Consult the Philips Customer Care Center for further assistance in solving the problem.

● If the problem persists, consult the Philips Customer Care Center for further assistance.

Press the ON/OFF button to turn off the Player and exit the diagnostic test.

Analog: Sound that has not been turned into numbers. Analog sound

varies, while digital sound has specific numerical values. Analog sound is available when you use the red and white audio jacks on your equipment. These jacks send audio through two channels, the left and right.

AUDIO OUT Jacks:

Jacks on the back of the DVD Player that send

audio to another system (TV, Stereo Receiver, etc.).

Bit Rate:

The amount of data used to hold a given length of music; measured in kilobits per seconds, or kbps. Or, the speed at which you record. Generally, the higher the bit rate, or the higher the recording speed, the better the sound quality. However, higher bit rates use more space on a disc. For example, an MP3 music file recorded at 32 kbps will record slowly, use the least Disc space, and have the poorest sound quality. But, an MP3 music file recorded at 96 kbps will record quicker, use more Disc space, and have significantly better sound quality.

: Compact Disc (audio).

COAXIAL jack:

Sends digital audio to a Stereo Receiver, allowing you to adjust the volume at the Receiver. The Receiver must have a coaxial in jack. This connection provides the 5.1 channel surround sound as heard in movie theaters.

Component Video Out Jacks

: Pr/Cr Pb/Cb Y Jacks on the back of the DVD Player that send high-quality video to a TV that has Component Video In jacks. Use the separate PROGRESSIVE SCAN OUT Pr/Cr Pb/Cb Y jacks only if your TV has Progressive Scan.

Digital:

Sound that has been converted into numerical values. Digital sound is available when you use the COAXIAL or OPTICAL Digital Audio jacks on your equipment. These jacks send audio through multiple channels, instead of just two channels as analog does.

Dolby Digital:

A surround sound system that provides 5.1 channel sound

as used in movie theaters.

DTS:

Digital Theater Systems. This is a surround sound system, but it is different from Dolby Digital. The formats were developed by different companies.

DVD

: Digital Video Disc.

Letterbox:

A TV aspect ratio setting (4:3). Displays the video in fullwidth, with black bars at the top and bottom of the TV screen. This format is similar to seeing a movie in a theater. If the Disc does not include a letterbox format , selecting 4:3 Letterbox may have no effect. (For example, some DVD discs are two-sided, with one side playing in Letterbox and the other side playing in a normal format.)

OPTICAL Jack:

Converts electrical signals into optical signals before sending the audio to the Stereo Receiver. Optical audio is not prone to external electrical influences and has less noise, which reduces adverse effects on external equipment. Be sure to keep the protective cap on the jack when the jack is not in use. This keeps dust out of the jack.

Pan & Scan:

A TV aspect ratio setting (4:3). Displays the video with fullheight picture, with one or both sides of the picture trimmed. Some movie companies refer to this as “reformatting the picture to fit your TV screen.”

Remote Control:

The unit that came with your DVD Player and allows

you to operate your DVD Player from a distance.

S-Video:

Produces a clearer picture by sending separate signals for the luminance and the color. If you connect an optional S-Video cable, you will not need to use the supplied yellow video cable. You can use S-Video only if your TV has an S-Video In jack.

VIDEO OUT Jack:

Jack on the back of the DVD Player that sends video

to a TV.

Widescreen:

A TV aspect ratio setting (16:9). Displays the video appro-

priately when you connect the DVD Player to a widescreen TV.
