Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this Philips DVD player.
This Owner’s Manual explains the basic operation
of this DVD player.

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.

● There must be sufficient room in front of the
player for the drawer to be opened.

● In cabinet, allow about 2.5cm (1 inch) of free
space all around the player for adequate
ventilation.

● Do not expose your player to extreme of
temperature or humidity.

● If the DVD player is brought directly from a cold
