Introduction
Entertainment for the new millennium
Video was never like this before! Digital video discs provide perfect digital, studio-quality pictures; 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. 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 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.

If any item is damaged or missing, contact your retailer or Philips. Keep the packaging materials; you may need them to tr ansport your player in the future.
Maintenance
– Do not expose the player or the batteries to humidity, rain and
excessive dust and keep them away from domestic heating equipment and direct sunlight to prevent over-heating.
/
– In a cabinet, allow about 2.5cm (1 inch) of free space all around the
player for adequate ventilation.
– If the DVD-Video player cannot read CDs/DVDs correctly, wash the
CD/DVD lens with water before sending it for repair. Never use alcohol or other unknown cleaning agents as they may damage 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 DVD-Video player in a warm environment until the moisture evaporates.
