Note:
To fully enjoy the progressive scan feature, you
need a progressive scan TV.
If any item is damaged or missing, contact
your retailer or Philips.
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.
Installation
● Place the player on a flat, hard, and stable surface.
● In a cabinet, allow about 10cm (4 inches) of free
space all around the player for adequate
ventilation.
40
● Do not expose your player to extreme
temperatures or humidity.
● The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping
or splashing.
● No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall
be placed on the apparatus.
● No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,
shall be placed on the apparatus.
● Install this unit near the AC outlet and where the
AC power plug can be reached easily.
● The ventilation should not be impeded by
covering the ventilation openings with items,
such as newpapers, table-cloths, curtains, et.
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.
