Hi-Fi Tube Sound from DVD Micro Theatre
Why do I need it?
You deserve an immersive sound experience like an audiophile. The built-in vacuum tube preamplifier enables you to experience the highest quality sound normally you can only find in premium Hi-Fi audio equipment.
Music is dynamic and is played to be heard by human ears. The analogue nature of tube gives a more pleasing sound to the nonlinear human ear-brain hearing system. Tube sound has less distortion than solid-state sound and audiophiles always prefer tubes for their clean, warm and far more detailed and life-like sound.
What is it?
Vacuum tube is not something new, but always a premium. Before the introduction of transistors, most electronic amplifier used vacuum tubes. By 60s', solid-state amplification became more common, but tube amplifier has retained a loyal following among audiophiles with modern units from companies commanding very high price.
How does it work?
Amplifiers are available based on solid-state (semiconductor) technology or vacuum-tube (valve) technology. Many audiophile systems separate the functions of the preamplifier-which selects audio signals and has a volume control­and the power amplifier, which takes a line-level audio signal and drives the loudspeakers. Audiophiles find the tube preamplifier product a more faithful and detailed reproduction in comparison to the solid-state preamplifier.
Note: –To fully enjoy the progressive scan feature, you need a progressive scan TV.

Guide
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, 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.

Hearing Safety
Listen at a moderate volume.
Using headphones at a high volume can impair
your hearing. This product can produce sounds in decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss for a normal person, even for exposure less than a minute. The higher decibel ranges are offered for those that may have already experienced some hearing loss.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing
"comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of sound. So after prolonged listening, what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. To guard against this, set your volume to a safe level before your hearing adapts and leave it there.
To establish a safe volume level:
Set your volume control at a low setting.
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfortably and clearly, without distortion.
Listen for reasonable periods of time:
Prolonged exposure to sound, even at normally
"safe" levels, can also cause hearing loss.
Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and
take appropriate breaks.
Be sure to observe the following guidelines when using your headphones.
Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable
periods of time.
Be careful not to adjust the volume as your
hearing adapts.
Do not turn up the volume so high that you
can't hear what's around you.
You should use caution or temporarily
discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
Do not use headphones while operating a
motorized vehicle, cycling, skateboarding, etc.; it may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.

Step 3: Connecting TV
Using Component Video jacks (Y Pb Pr)
IMPORTANT! –You only need to make one video connection from the following options, depending on the capabilities of your TV. – Connect the DVD system directly to the TV.
Using Composite Video jack
1 Use the composite video cable (yellow) to
connect the system's VIDEO jack to the video input jack (or labelled as A/V In, Video In, Composite or Baseband) on the TV set.
2 To listen to the TV channels through this DVD
system, use the audio cables (white/red-not supplied) to connect AUX IN L/R jacks to the corresponding AUDIO OUT jacks on the TV.
IMPORTANT! – The progressive scan video quality is only possible when using Y Pb Pr, and a progressive scan TV is required.
1 Use component video cables (red/blue/green -
not supplied) to connect the DVD system's COMPONENT (Pr/Cr Pb/Cb Y) jacks to the corresponding Component video input jacks (or labeled as Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr or YUV) on the TV.
2 To listen to the TV channels through this DVD
system, use the audio cables (white/red-not supplied) to connect AUX IN L/R jacks to the corresponding AUDIO OUT jacks on the TV.
3 If you are using a Progressive Scan TV (TV must
indicate Progressive Scan or ProScan capability), to activate TV Progressive Scan, please refer to your TV user manual. For DVD system Progressive Scan function, see “Getting Started­Setting up Progressive Scan feature”.

Note: – If your TV does not support Progressive Scan, you will not be able to view the picture. Press SYSTEM on the remote control to exit the system menu. Then press DISC followed by “1” to exit progressive scan.
Connections
Using S-Video jack
IMPORTANT! – If S-Video is used for DVD playback connection, the system’s COMPONENT setting will need to be changed accordingly.
1 Use an S-Video cable (not supplied) to connect
the DVD system’s S-VIDEO jack to the S­Video input jack (or labeled as Y/C or S-VHS) on the TV.
2 To listen to the TV channels through this DVD
system, use the audio cables (white/red-not supplied) to connect AUX IN L/R jacks to the corresponding AUDIO OUT jacks on the TV.
Using an accessory RF modulator
IMPORTANT! – If your TV only has a single Antenna In jack (labeled as 75 ohm or RF In), you will need an RF modulator in order to view DVD playback on the TV. See your electronics retailer or contact Philips for details on RF modulator availability and operations.
1 Use the composite video cable (yellow) to
connect the DVD system’s VIDEO jack to the video input jack on the RF modulator.
2 Use an RF coaxial cable (not supplied) to
connect ANTENNA OUT or TO TV jack on the RF modulator to the Antenna IN jack on the TV.
3 Connect the Antenna or Cable TV service signal
to the ANTENNA IN or RF IN jack on the RF modulator. (It may have been connected to your TV previously. Disconnect it from the TV.)
