Environmental information

Any unnecessary packaging has been omitted. We have tried to make the packaging easy to separate into three materials: cardboard (box), polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags, protective foam sheet).

Your system consists of materials which can be recycled and reused if disassembled by a specialised company. Please observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of packaging materials, exhausted batteries and old equipment.

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.

● The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping

or splashing.

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.

● The ventilation should not be impeded by

covering the ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers table-cloths, curtains, etc.

Cleaning the cabinet

● Use soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild

detergent solution. Do not use a solution containing alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasives.

Cleaning discs

● To clean a CD, wipe it in a straight line from the

center towards the edge using soft and lint-free cloth. A cleaning agent may damage the disc.

● Write only on the printed side of a CDR(W)

and only with a soft felt-tipped pen.

● Handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the

surface.

Cleaning the disc lens

● After prolonged use, dirt 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.

● Install this unit near the AC outlet and where the

AC power plug can be reached easily.

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.

CBABC

Demagnetising the head

● Use a demagnetising tape available at your dealer.

For best possible surround sound, all the speakers (except subwoofer) should be placed at the same distance from the listening position.

1 Place the front left and right speakers at equal

distances from the TV and at an angle of approximately 45 degrees from the listening position.

2 Place the center speaker above the TV or the

DVD system so that the center channel's sound is localized.

3 Place the rear speakers at normal listening ear

level facing each other or hang on the wall.

4 Place the subwoofer on the floor near the TV.

Notes: –To avoid magnetic interference, do not position the front speakers too close to your TV. – Allow adequate ventilation around the DVD system.
