Philips components and modules for the
various CD applications have always
enjoyed an excellent reputation in the
market place for super disc playability - the
ability to play discs which may be
scratched, soiled or not fully according to
the standard specification. This position
has been underlined by tests showing the
superior performance of the various Philips
players, as well as by the positive
experiences of millions of individual
consumers around the world.
Constantly improving performance
As the penetration of the CD system has
increased, and new applications like CDROM and Video CD have become
commonplace, Philips Components - as the
CD technology inventor and as one of the
major suppliers of CD player modules in the
industry - has constantly improved the
performance of its products.
One of the ways in which this benefits
users is by optimum disc playability. This is
an important parameter for CD players
other than CD Audio, and especially for the
Video CD applications, because any loss of
data from the disc will at best cause
disturbances in the reproduced picture, and
at worst can cause the player to lose track
so that disc playing fails.
Presenting Super Error Correction
To ensure consistently good results when
playing Video CD discs of all quality grades
and conditions, Philips has introduced
further improvements in the system's
playability. These developments together
are called Super Error Correction, a
proprietary Philips technology optimizing
the system's ability to handle less-thanperfect discs with the minimum
disturbance to normal playing.
By effectively eliminating virtually all errors
arising under normal playing conditions,
Super Error Correction ensures that the
picture quality as seen by the user is
independent of disc play. The video
encoding and processing during mastering
of the disc, and the MPEG-1 decoding and
video encoding in the signal processing
stages, are now the only limiting factors for
picture quality.

• The type plate (which contains the
serial number) is located at the rear
of the system.
• Recording is permissible if
copyright or other rights of third
parties are not infringed.
Environmental Information
All 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 specialized company. Please observe
the local regulations regarding the disposal
of packaging materials, exhausted
batteries and old equipment.
Accessories
– Remote control
– Batteries (two AA size) for remote
control
– AM loop antenna
– FM wire antenna
– AC power cord
– One Video cinch cable
(Supplied)
Safety Information
• Before operating the system, check that
the operating voltage indicated on the
typeplate (or the voltage indication
beside the voltage selector) of your
system is identical with the voltage of
your local power supply. If not, please
consult your dealer. The typeplate is
located at the rear of your system.
• When the system is switched on, do not
move it around.
• Place the system on a solid base (e.g. a
cabinet).
• Place the system in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent internal
heat build-up in your system.
Allow at least 10 cm clearance from the
rear and the top of the unit and 5 cm
from each side.
• Do not expose the system to excessive
moisture, rain, sand or heat sources.
• Under no circumstances should you
repair the system yourself, as this will
invalidate the warranty!
• If the system is brought directly from a
cold to a warm location, or is placed in a
very damp room, moisture may
condense on the lens of the disc unit
inside the system. Should this occur, the
disc player will not operate normally.
Leave the power on for about one hour
with no disc in the system until normal
playback is possible.
• Electrostatic discharge may cause
unexpected problems. See whether
these problems disappear if you unplug
the AC power cord and plug it in again
after a few seconds.
• To disconnect the system from the
power supply completely, remove
the AC power plug from the wall
socket.
