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 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.
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.

bottom of the system.
– The voltage selector located on the
rear of the subwoofer is preset at
220V-240V from the factory. For
countries that operate at 110V-127V,
please adjust to 110V-127V before you
switch on the system.
– Before connecting the AC power cord
to the wall outlet, ensure that all
other connections have been made.
–Never make or change any
connections with the power switched on.
–A separate power switch is provided
on the front of the subwoofer. Please

1 Connect the supplied audio cables to DVD
player’s LINE OUT (L/R) jacks and the
Subwoofer’s AUDIO IN jack.
2 Connect the speaker wires to the SPEAKER
terminals on the subwoofer, right speaker to "R"
and left speaker to "L", coloured (marked) wire
to "+" and black (unmarked) wire to "-".
For best possible surround sound, locate your
speakers and subwoofer as follows:
● Place the left and right speaker s at equal
distances from the TV set and at an angle of
approximately 45 degrees from the listening
position.
● 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 set.
–Allow adequate ventilation around the DVD System.

according to the capabilities of your TV
system.
– Connect the system directly to the
TV set.
Using Video In jack (CVBS)

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
English
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.
