Playable Discs

This DVD Receiver will play the following types of Discs: prerecorded Audio CDs, finalized Audio CD-R and Audio CD-RW discs, Video CDs, Super VCDs, DVDs, and MP3-CDs (CD with MP3 tracks)

Region Codes

DVDs must be labeled for ALL regions or for Region 1 in order to play on this Home Cinema system. You cannot play Discs that are labeled for other regions. If one of these logos appears on your DVD or its case, it should play on this DVD Receiver.

To Load Remote Batteries:

• Open and remove compartment door.

• Place batteries in case as marked. (Aligned +,- properly).

• Replace and close compartment door.

● If your TV has a video in jack, it should

have a special setting or channel for video input. Usually these channels are between the lowest and highest channels and may be called FRONT, A/V IN, or VIDEO. See your TV instruction book for more specific instructions.

● If you only have a single antenna jack on the TV, you

will need an RF modulator to connect the Receiver to your TV. The RF Modulator converts the Video from the

Receiver so it can play through the TV’s Antenna connector. When using an RF Modulator, you view DVD playback on TV channel 3 or 4 (like a VCR).

See your electronics retailer or contact Philips for details on RF Modulator availability.

*Selecting Video Input on the TV

Place the Front Left and Right speakers at equal distances from the TV. Turn the speakers to an approximate 45 degree angle from the listening position.

Place the Center speaker above (or below) the TV to localize the center channel sound.

Place the Surround speakers at normal listening ear level, facing each other or mounted on the wall.

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.

• If the Rear Surround speakers are installed farther away from the listening position than the front and center speakers, it will weaken the Surround effect.

• All speakers should be securely installed to prevent accidents and improve sound quality.
