If any item is damaged or missing, contact your retailer or Philips.

Safety information

• The standby switch does not disconnect the

apparatus from mains.

• Where the MAINS plug or an appliance coupler

is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.

• Place the system on a flat, hard and stable

surface.

• The apparatus shall not be exposed to

dripping or splashing.

• Install the unit near the AC outlet and where the

AC power plug can be easily reached.

• Place the system in a location with adequate

ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in your system. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches) clearance from the rear and the top of the unit and 5 cm (2 inches) from each side.

• The ventilation should not be impeded by

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

• Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to

excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.

• No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,

should be placed on the apparatus.

• No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall

be placed on the apparatus.

• 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 CD player would not operate normally. Leave the power on for about one hour with no disc in the system until normal playback is possible.

• The mechanical parts of the set contain self-

lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or lubricated.

• 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 socket.

Maintenance

• When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a

cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out, in a straight line.

• Do not expose the player,

batteries or discs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight). Always keep the disc tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.

• Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner,

commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for colour discs.

• The lens may cloud over when the pla yer is

suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings, making it impossible to play a disc. Leave the player in the war m environment until the moisture evaporates.

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 specialised company. Please observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of packaging materials, exhausted batteries and old equipment.

Connections

Step 1: Connecting TV set

IMPORTANT! –You only need to make one video connection from the following options, according to the capabilities of your TV system. – Connect the system directly to the TV set.

Using Video In jack (CVBS)

• Use the supplied composite video cable (yellow)

to connect the system’s COMPOSITE 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 disc playback of the system through

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

Using an accessory RF modulator

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.

• Use the supplied composite cable (yellow) to

connect the system’s COMPOSITE 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.
