Optimum disc playability :
ensuring excellent picture quality
Philips components and modules for the various
CD applications have always enjoyed an
excellent reputation in the market place for
super disc playability - the ability to play discs
which may be scratched, soiled or not fully
according to the standard specification. This
position has been underlined by tests showing
the superior performance of the various Philips
players, as well as by the positive experiences of
millions of individual consumers around the
world.
Constantly improving performance
As the penetration of the CD system has
increased, and new applications like CD-ROM
and Video CD have become commonplace,
Philips Components - as the CD technology
inventor and as one of the major suppliers of
CD player modules in the industry - has
constantly improved the performance of its
products.
One of the ways in which this benefits users is
by optimum disc playability. This is an important
parameter for CD players other than CD Audio,
and especially for the Video CD applications,
because any loss of data from the disc will at
best cause disturbances in the reproduced
picture, and at worst can cause the player to lose
track so that disc playing fails.
Presenting Super Error Correction
To ensure consistently good results when playing
Video CD discs of all quality grades and
conditions, Philips has introduced further
improvements in the system's playability. These
developments together are called Super Error
Correction, a proprietary Philips technology
optimizing the system's ability to handle lessthan-perfect discs with the minimum disturbance
to normal playing.
By effectively eliminating virtually all errors arising
under normal playing conditions, Super Error
Correction ensures that the picture quality as
seen by the user is independent of disc play. The
video encoding and processing during mastering
of the disc, and the MPEG-1 decoding and video
encoding in the signal processing stages, are now
the only limiting factors for picture quality.

General Information
IMPORTANT!
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE VOLTAGE
SELECTOR LOCATED AT THE REAR OF
THIS SYSTEM IS PRESET AT 220V FROM
THE FACTORY. FOR COUNTRIES THAT
OPERATE AT 110V-127V, PLEASE ADJUST
TO 110V-127V BEFORE YOU SWITCH ON
THE SYSTEM.
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
specialized company. Please observe the local
regulations regarding the disposal of packaging
materials, exhausted batteries and old
equipment.
Supplied accessories
– Remote control
– Batteries (two AA size) for remote control
– AM loop antenna
– FM wire antenna
– One Video cinch cable
– 2 speaker boxes
Safety Information
● Before operating the system, check that the
operating voltage indicated on the typeplate (or
the voltage indication beside the voltage
selector) of your system is identical with the
voltage of your local power supply. If not, please
consult your dealer.
● Place the system on a flat, hard and stable
surface.
● 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.
● Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to
excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources
caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.
● 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 par ts 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.

– If your system is equipped with a Voltage
Selector, set the VOLTAGE SELECTOR to the
local power line voltage.
– All other connections have been made.
WARNING!
– For optimal performance, use only the
original power cable.
– Never make or change any connections
with the power switched on.

To avoid overheating of the system, a safety
circuit has been built in. Therefore, your
system may switch to Standby mode
automatically under extreme conditions. If
this happens, let the system cool down
before reusing it (not available for all versions).

Preparations
● Position the antenna as far as possible from a TV,
VCR or other radiation source.
FM Antenna
● For better FM stereo reception, connect an
outdoor FM antenna to the FM AERIAL (FM
ANTENNA) terminal.
C Speakers Connection
Front Speakers
Connect the speaker wires to the SPEAKERS
terminals, right speaker to "RIGHT" and left
speaker to "LEFT", colored (marked) wire to
"+" and black (unmarked) wire to "-".
● Fully inser t the stripped por tion of the speaker
wire into the terminal as shown.
Optional connection
The optional equipment and connecting cords
are not supplied. Refer to the operating
instructions of the connected equipment for
details.
Connecting other equipment to your
system
Connect the audio left and right OUT terminals
of a TV, VCR, Laser Disc player, DVD player or
CD Recorder to the AUX terminals.
Note:
– If you are connecting equipment with a mono
output (a single audio out terminal), connect it to
the AUX left terminal. Alternatively, you can use a
“single to double” cinch cable (the output sound
still remain mono).
Inserting batteries into the
Remote Control
Insert two batteries (Type R06 or AA) into the
remote control with the correct polarity as
indicated by the + and - symbols inside the
battery compar tment.
English
Notes:
– For optimal sound performance, use the
supplied speakers.
– Do not connect more than one speaker to any
one pair of +/- speaker terminals.
– Do not connect speakers with an impedance
lower than the speakers supplied. Please refer to
the SPECIFICATIONS section of this manual.
D Video Out Connection
Connect the VIDEO OUT (CVBS) terminal
at the rear of the system to the TV or VCR
VIDEO IN for viewing or recording.
Note:
– To avoid magnetic interference with the picture
on your TV, do not position the front speakers too
close to the TV.
CAUTION!
– Remove batteries if they are exhausted
or not to be used for a long time.
– Do not use old and new or different
types of batteries in combination.
– Batteries contain chemical substances, so
they should be disposed off properly.
