General Information/Maintenance

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.

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.

DVD Mini Hi-Fi System

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.

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.

C B A B C

Demagnetising the head

● Use a demagnetising tape available at your dealer.

Connections

Step 1: Placing the speakers and subwoofer

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

Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances from the TV set and at an angle of approximately 45 degrees from the listening position.

Place the center speaker above the TV set or the system so the center channel’s sound is localized.

Place the surround speakers at normal listening ear level facing each other or mounted on the set.

Place the subwoofer on the floor near the TV set.

Notes:

– To avoid magnetic interference, do not position the front speakers too close to your TV set.

– Allow adequate ventilation around the DVD Mini Hi-Fi System.

IMPORTANT!

The type plate is located on the rear of the system.

To avoid overheating of the system, a safety circuit has been built in. Therefore, your system may switch to Standby mode automatically under extreme conditions. If this happens, let the system cool down before reusing it.

IMPORTANT!

You only need to make one video connection from the following options, according to the capabilities of your TV system.

S-Video or Component Video connection provides higher picture quality.These options must be available on your TV set.

Connect the system directly to the TV set.

Using Video In jack (CVBS)

Use the composite video cable (yellow) to connect the system’s CVBS jack to the video input jack (or labeled as A/V In,Video In, Composite or Baseband) on the TV set.

To listen to TV channels through this system, use the audio cables (white/red) to connect AUX/ TV IN (L/R) jacks to the corresponding AUDIO OUT jacks on the TV set.

IMPORTANT!

– If both S-Video and Component (Pr PbY) Video connections are used to connect to your TV set, the Video signal will automatically switch to S-Video when you power up the system.To set the VIDEO OUT (put) to ‘Pr PbY’, see page 31, Using the Setup Menu – Setting the video out.

Using component Video In jack (Pr PbY)

Use the component video cables (red/blue/ green) to connect the system’s Pr PbY jacks to the corresponding Component video input jacks (or labeled as Pr/Cr Pb/Cb Y or YUV) on the TV set.

To listen to TV channels through this system, use the audio cables (white/red) to connect AUX/ TV IN (L/R) jacks to the corresponding AUDIO OUT jacks on the TV set.

Using S-Video In jack

Use the S-Video cable (not supplied) to connect the system’s S-VIDEO OUT jack to the S- Video input jack (or labeled as Y/C or S-VHS) on the TV set.

To listen to TV channels through this system, use the audio cables (white/red) to connect AUX/ TV IN (L/R) jacks to the corresponding AUDIO OUT jacks on the TV set.

IMPORTANT!

– If your TV set only has a single Antenna In jack (or labeled as 75 ohm or RF In), you will need a RF modulator in order to view the DVD playback via TV. See your electronics retailer or contact Philips for details on RF modulator availability and operations.

Using an accessory RF modulator

Use the composite cable (yellow) to connect the system’s CVBS jack to the video input jack on the RF modulator.

Use the RF coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the RF modulator to your TV’s RF jack.
