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.

10 cm

(4 inches)

(4 inches)

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

10 cm

(4 inches)

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.

Demagnetising the head

● Use a demagnetising tape available at your

dealer.

● The standby switch does not disconnect the

apparatus from mains.

● The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping

or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

● Install this unit near the AC outlet and where the

AC Power can be reached easily.

● When the system is switched to standby mode,

it is still consuming some power. To disconnect the system from the power supply completely, remove the AC power plug from the wall sockets.

Step 1: Placing speakers and subwoofer

Step 2:Connecting speakers and subwoofer

Center speaker

Left speaker

Right speaker

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.

•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.

Step 3: Connecting TV set

Connections

English

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 VIDEO 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 IN (L/R) jacks to the corresponding AUDIO

OUT jacks on the TV set.

● Deactivate Progressive Scan through SYSTEM

MENU. Refer to “Using the Setup Menu- Using Progressive Scan to improve image quality”.

Using component Video In jack (Pr Pb Y)

● Use the component video cables (red/blue/

green) to connect the system’s Pr Pb Y 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 IN jacks to the corresponding AUDIO OUT

jacks on the TV set.

● If you are using a Progressive Scan TV set (TV

with Progressive Scan or ProScan capability), activate the PROGRESSIVE SCAN function through SYSTEM MENU.

Connections

English

Using S-Video In jack

● Use the S-Video cable (not supplied) to

connect the system’s S-VIDEO jack to the S-Video input jack (or labeled as Y/C or SVHS) on the TV set.

● To listen to TV channels through this system,

use the audio cables (white/red) to connect AUX IN jacks to the corresponding AUDIO OUT jacks on the TV set.

● Deactivate Progressive Scan through

SYSTEM MENU. Refer to “Using the Setup Menu- Using Progressive Scan to improve image quality”.

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 VIDEO 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.

● Deactivate Progressive Scan through SYSTEM

MENU. Refer to “Using the Setup Menu- Using

Progressive Scan to improve image quality”.

Connections

Step 4: Connecting FM/AM antennas

● Connect the supplied AM loop antenna to the

MW (AM) jack. Place the AM loop antenna on a shelf or attach it to a stand or wall.

● Connect the supplied FM antenna to the FM

jack. Extend the FM antenna and fix its end to the wall.

For better FM stereo reception, connect an outdoor FM antenna to the FM ANTENNA terminal.

Step 5: Connecting the power

cord

After everything is connected properly, plug in the AC power cord to the power outlet.

Never make or change any connection with the power switched on.

On the DVD Mini Hi-Fi System

“AUTO INSTALL-PRESS PLAY” may appear on the display panel. Press 2; on the front panel to search and store all available radio stations or press 9 to exit (See “Tuner OperationsPresetting radio stations”).

Step 6: Connecting a VCR or

cable/satellite box

Step 7: Connecting digital audio

equipment

TV system as shown.

2 Connect the system’s AUX IN jacks to the

AUDIO OUT jacks on the VCR or Cable/ Satellite box.

Before starting operation, press AUX on the remote control to select “AUX” in order to activate the input source.

Using the VCR for recording DVDs

Some DVDs are copy-protected. You cannot record or dub protected discs using a VCR.

3 Connect the system’s VIDEO jack to the VIDEO

IN jack on the VCR.

4 Connect the system’s LINE OUT (R/L) jacks

to the AUDIO IN jacks on the VCR. This will allow you to make analog stereo (two channel, right and left) recording.

To view DVD playback while recording

You must connect the system to your TV system using the S-VIDEO (as shown above) or the Component (Pr Pb Y) video connection.

Recording (digital)

Connect the system’s DIGITAL OUT jack to the DIGITAL IN jack on a digital recording device (DTS-Digital Theater System compatible, with a Dolby Digital decoder, for example).
