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.

● 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, cur tains, 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.

Connections

English

IMPORTANT! – The type plate is located at the bottom of 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 back of the subwoofer. Please switch it on after completing all connections in order to enjoy 5.1-channel sound output.

Step 1: Set up the surround

speakers

1 Before connecting the speakers to the DVD

system, firmly attach the mini speaker stands to the surround speakers as shown in the above diagram.

2 Alternatively, you can choose to mount the

speakers on the wall. Mount a screw (not supplied) on the wall where the speaker is to be hung and hook the speaker securely onto the mounted screw.

1 Place the front left and right speakers at equal

distances from the TV and at an angle of approximately 45 degrees from the listening position.

2 Place the center speaker above the TV or the

DVD system so that the center channel's sound is localized.

3 Place the rear speakers at normal listening ear

level facing each other or hang on the wall.

4 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. – Allow adequate ventilation around the DVD system.

Connections

Step 3: Connecting speakers

Glossary

Analog: Sound that has not been turned into

numbers. Analog sound varies, while digital sound has specific numerical values. These jacks send audio through two channels, the left and right.

Aspect ratio: The ratio of ver tical and horizontal sizes of a displayed image. The horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional TVs. is 4:3, and that of wide-screens is 16:9.

AUDIO OUT Jacks: Jacks on the back of the DVD System that send audio to another system (TV set, Stereo, etc.).

Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold a given length of music; measured in kilobits per second, or kbps. Or, the speed at which you record. Generally, the higher the bit rate the better the sound quality. However, higher bit rates use more space on a Disc.

Chapter: Sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of several chapters. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number enabling you to locate the chapter you want.

Component Video Out Jacks: Jacks on the back of the DVD System that send high-quality video to a TV set that has Component Video In jacks (R/G/B, Y/Pb/Pr, etc.).

Disc menu: A screen display prepared for the selection of images, sound, subtitles, multi-angles, etc recorded on a DVD.

Digital: Sound that has been converted into numerical values. Digital sound is available when you use the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT COAXIAL or OPTICAL jacks. These jacks send audio through multiple channels, instead of just two channels as analog does.

Dolby Digital: A surround sound system developed by Dolby Laboratories containing up to six channels of digital audio (front left and right, surround left and right and center).

DTS: Digital Theater Systems. This is a surround sound system, but different from Dolby Digital. The formats were developed by different companies.

JPEG: A still-picture data compression system proposed by the Joint Photographic Expert Group, which features small decrease in image quality in spite of its high compression ratio.

MP3: A file format with a sound data compression system, “MPE” is the abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. Through the MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contain about 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can.

Multichannel: DVD is specified to have all

sound tracks constitute one sound field.

Multichannel refers to a structure of sound

tracks having three or more channels.

Parental control: A function of the DVD to

limit playback of the disc by the age of the users

according to the limitation level in each country.

The limitation varies from disc to disc; when it is

activated, playback will be prohibited if the

software’s level is higher than the user-set level.

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation): A system

for converting analog sound signal to digital

signal for later processing without data

compression.

Playback control (PBC): Refers to the signal

recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for

reproduction control. By using screen menus

recorded on a Video CD or SVCD that suppor ts

PBC, you can enjoy interactive-type software as

well as software having a search function.

Progressive Scan (P-Scan): It displays all the

horizontal lines of a picture at one time, as a

signal frame. This system can convert interlaced

video from DVD into progressive format for

connection to a progressive display. It

dramatically increases the vertical resolution. A

progressive scan TV set is needed to receive

progressive scan output from the system.

Region code: A system allowing discs to be

played only in preset regions. This unit will only

play discs that have compatible region codes. You

can find the region code of your unit from the

product label. Some discs are compatible with

more than one region (or ALL regions).

S-Video: Produces a clear picture by sending

separate signals for luminance and the color. You

can use S-Video only if your TV set has S-Video

In jack.

Sampling Frequency: Frequency of data

sampling when analog data is converted to

digital data. Sampling frequency numerically

represents how many times the original analog

signal is sampled per second.

Surround: A system for users to create

realistic three-dimensional sound fields full of

realism by arranging multiple speakers around

the listener.

Title: The longest section of a picture or music

feature on DVD, music, etc., in video software, or
