the voltage indication beside the voltage
selector) is identical with the voltage of your
local power supply. If not, please consult your
dealer.
● Place the DVD player on a flat, hard and stable
surface.
● There must be sufficient room in front of the
player for the disc tray to be opened.
● In cabinet, allow about 2.5cm (1 inch) of free
space all around the player for adequate
ventilation.
● Do not expose your player to extreme of
temperature or humidity.
● If the DVD player is brought directly from a cold
to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp
room, moisture may condense on the lens of the
disc unit inside the DVD player. Should this occur,
the DVD player would not operate normally.
Leave the power on for about one hour with no
disc in the DVD player until normal playback is
possible.
● The mechanical par ts of the set contain selflubricating bearings and must not be oiled or
lubricated.
● When the DVD player is switched to
Standby mode, it is still consuming some

and notes with the following meanings:
Helpful Hints!
● Some DVD video discs require specific
functions or allow only limited functions
during playback.
● “ Ä“ may appears on the TV screen
which means that the function is not
available on that specific DVD video disc.

Introduction
Reality reproduced: Super Audio
CD
The future in digital sound reproduction is no
longer limited to a close simulation of reality. The
new audio standard IS reality! The human ear is
no longer capable of distinguishing audible reality
from digital reproduction. At Philips the future
starts today with the Super Audio Compact Disc
player. This Super Audio CD player combines
superior sound quality with the possibility of
playing almost all existing audio and video
formats with a single player.
The Super Audio standard is based on Direct
Stream Digital (DSD) technology. This new
direct-stream digital format comprises a 1-bit
system that has a digital sampling frequency that
is 64 times higher than that of conventional
audio CD. The results are spectacular: a
frequency response of over 50k Hz and a 120dB
dynamic range over the entire audible spectrum.
Mixed with as many of the original frequencies as
possible, the audio information audible for
human ears sounds much more natural.
The next standard: hybrid disc
The Super Audio CD is the evolution of the CD
that provides ultra-high-quality sound. Additional
features, including multi-channel, can be offered.
On the high density (HD) Super Audio CD you
may have access to separate areas, containing
two-channel stereo and multi-channel.
But that is not all! The hybrid version of the
SACD guarantees backward compatibility with
the installed base of CD and DVD players. In
addition to the HD layer, the hybrid disc contains
a standard density CD layer with conventional
two-channel stereo CD audio information. The
two layers are read from the same side of the
disc. The HD layer is read by and DVD laser. The
bottom reflective layer with conventional CD
sound is read by the CD laser through the
second, semi-transmissive HD layer.
SACD: reality in sound...and
vision
This SACD player will not only surprise you with
its superior reproduction of almost all existing
audio formats. Connected to your TV, your
SACD player presents VCD and DVD-video
information as perfect digital studio-quality
images with truly 3-dimensional digital multichannel audio.
Super Audio CD
You will recognize Super Audio CDs by the logo.
There are three types of Super Audio CDs:
single-layer, dual-layer and hybrid discs. Each type
may contain two areas of recorded information:
a High Quality Stereo area and a High Quality
Multi-channel area.
– The single layer disc may contain both
information areas.
– The dual layer disc may contain both
information areas but a double amount of
information can be stored on the disc thanks to
the second layer.
– The hybrid disc may contain not only both
information areas but also a second, standard
CD layer, making it playable on standard CD
players.
Recorded information may vary per area. This is
indicated in the disc inlay. Areas can be selected
separately before or during playback, while
playing Super Audio CDs via the remote control
or via the On-Screen Display on your TV.

– Digital Crystal Clear (on Pr/Cr Pb/Cb
Y Progressive Scan Video Out only)
Digital Crystal Clear (DCC) allows you to
fine-tune the following parametres on the
progressive scan output.
¶ Chroma Delay - is where the Chroma
(colour) and luma (brightness) signals are not
synchronised. This allows you to adjust the
advance delay of the chroma signal to yield a
perfectly clear picture.
¶ Gamma - allows you to adjust the intensity of
the picture non-linearly. A positive value allows
you to bring out low level detail in dark scenes,
while a negative value will emphasize contrast.
¶ Sharpness - allows you to adjust sharpness of
the picture.
¶ DCDi (New Directional Correlation De-
interlacing) - computes and tracks the angle of
edge to fill in the missing pixel on the TV screen.
Switching DCDi ON will optimise the image
quality significantly, especially during the slow
motion playback.
Aspect Ratio - to adjust the ratio of the pictures
on the TV screen.
NO LINEAR STRETCH: for display of 4:3 image
on 16:9 TV with non-linear stretching (centre
portion of screen is stretch less than the side).
PILLER BOX: for display of 4:3 image on 16:9 TV
without stretching.
OFF: No aspect ration adjustment
¶ True Life - produces a more dynamic picture
by increasing the picture contrast and the colour
intensity.

– Digital output is not available for SACD and
MP3 discs.
– Analogue output
Select Stereo, Dolby Surround-compatible, 3D
Sound or Multi-channel.
Multi-channel: Select this setting when using a
multi-channel audio/(video) receiver with six
inputs. In this mode, the player will perform DTS
decoding or Dolby Digital 5.1-channel decoding
when applicable, and Dolby Pro Logic decoding
on DVD-Video and Video-CD discs with 2channel sound tracks. No Dolby Pro Logic
decoding is done with (Super) Audio CD discs.
Stereo: In this setting, the 5.1 audio channels are
down-mixed to a stereo signal. Select this setting
when connecting to a TV, stereo amplifier/
receiver, etc.
Notes:
– Multichannel output and downmixed
stereo output are not available
simultaneously.
– When multichannel is selected as
analogue output, the AUDIO OUT (Left/
Right) will deliver the Centre channel data
and not the downmixed Left/Right.
Dolby Surround-compatible: Select this setting
when using an equipment with a Dolby
Surround Pro Logic decoder. In this setting, the
5.1 audio channels (Dolby Digital, MPEG-2, DTS)
are downmixed to a Dolby Surround-compatible
2-channel output.
3D-Sound: In a setup without rear speakers
(analogue stereo output), 3D Sound remixes the
six channels of digital surround into a twospeaker output while retaining all of the original
audio information. The result is the listening
sensation of being surrounded by multiple
speakers.
During DVD or Video-CD playback, these values
can be selected directly with the ‘SOUND
MODE’ key.
– Night Mode
When set to ON, the dynamics of your sound
output are optimised. High volume outputs are
softened, enabling you to watch your favourite
action movie without disturbing others.
– Karaoke vocal
Put this setting to ON only when a multi-channel
karaoke DVD is being played. The karaoke
channels on the disc will then be mixed into a
normal stereo sound.
– SACD Bass Management Bypass
Allows you (with suitable speaker system) to
bypass the bass management system for multichannel SACD playback.
This helps to preserve maximum sound quality
of your SACD.
Warning!

PCM output selection is 96kHz, the digital output
will be muted to comply with the standards. In
such cases, select 48kHz to enable digital output.
– CD Upsampling
Allows you to upsample your CD from 44.1 kHz
/ 16 bit to various higher sampling rate for
superior CD reproductions.

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.
