Care and safety information
Avoid high temperatures, moisture, water and dust
Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to
humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight). Always keep disc trays closed to avoid dust buildup on the lens.
No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall
be placed on the apparatus.
No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,
should be placed on the apparatus.
Avoid condensation problem
The lens may cloud over when the player is
suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings, making it impossible to play a disc. Leave the player in the warm environment until the moisture evaporates.
Do not block the vents
Do not operate the system in an enclosed
cabinet and allow about 10 cm (4 inches) of free space all around the player for adequate ventilation.
10 cm

Cleaning the disc lens
After prolonged use, dir t or dust may accumulate
at the disc lens. To ensure good playback quality, clean the disc lens with Philips CD Lens Cleaner or any commercially available cleaner. Follow the instructions supplied with cleaner.
Finding a suitable location
Place the player on a flat, hard,
stable surface.
Cleaning the head and the tape paths
To ensure good recording and playback quality,
clean the head A, the capstan(s) B, and pressure roller(s) C after every 50 hours of tape operation.
Use a cotton swab slightly moistened with
cleaning fluid or alcohol.
You also can clean the head by playing a cleaning
tape once.
Demagnetising the head

Glossary
English
Analog: Sound that has not been turned into
numbers. Analog sound varies, while digital sound has specific numerical values. These jacks send audio through two channels, the left and right. Aspect ratio: The ratio of ver tical and horizontal sizes of a displayed image. The horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional TVs. is 4:3, and that of wide-screens is 16:9. AUDIO OUT Jacks: Jacks on the back of the DVD System that send audio to another system (TV set, Stereo, etc.). Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold a given length of music; measured in kilobits per second, or kbps. Or, the speed at which you record. Generally, the higher the bit rate better the sound quality. However, higher bit rates use more space on a Disc. Chapter: Sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of several chapters. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number enabling you to locate the chapter you want. Component Video Out Jacks: Jacks on the back of the DVD System that sends high-quality video to a TV set that has Component Video In jacks (R/G/B, Y/Pb/Pr, etc.). Disc menu: A screen display prepared for the selection of images, sound, subtitles, multi-angles, etc recorded on a DVD. Digital: Sound that has been conver ted into numerical values. Digital sound is available when you use the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT COAXIAL or OPTICAL jacks. These jacks send audio through multiple channels, instead of just two channels as analog does. Dolby Digital: A surround sound system developed by Dolby Laboratories containing up to six channels of digital audio (front left and right, surround left and right and center).
JPEG: A still-picture data compression system proposed by the Joint Photographic Expert Group, which features small decrease in image quality in spite of its high compression ratio. MP3: A file format with a sound data compression system, “MPE” is the abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. Through the MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contain about 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can. Multichannel: DVD is specified to have all sound tracks constitute one sound field. Multichannel refers to a structure of sound tracks having three or more channels. Parental control: A function of the DVD to limit playback of the disc by the age of the users according to the limitation level in each country. The limitation varies from disc to disc; when it is
activated, playback will be prohibited if the software’s level is higher than the user-set level. Playback control (PBC): Refers to the signal recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for reproduction control. By using screen menus recorded on a Video CD or SVCD that suppor ts PBC, you can enjoy interactive-type software as well as software having a search function. Progressive Scan: It displays all the horizontal lines of a picture at one time, as a signal frame. This system can convert interlaced video from DVD into progressive format for connection to a progressive display. It dramatically increases the ver tical resolution. A progressive scan TV set is needed to receive progressive scan output from the player. Region code: A system allowing discs to be played only in preset regions. This unit will only play discs that have compatible region codes. You can find the region code of your unit from the product label. Some discs are compatible with more than one region (or ALL regions). S-Video: Produces a clear picture by sending separate signals for luminance and the color. You can use S-Video only if your TV set has S-Video In jack. Sampling Frequency: Frequency of data sampling when analog data is converted to digital data. Sampling frequency numerically represents how many times the original analog signal is sampled per second. Title: The longest section of a picture or music feature on DVD, music, etc., in video software, or the entire album in audio software. Each title is assigned a title number enabling you to locate the title you want. VIDEO OUT jack: Jack on the back of the DVD System that sends video to TV.
