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.

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.
Supplied accessories
– 2 speaker boxes
– remote control
– batteries (two AA size) for remote control
– AM loop antenna
– FM wire antenna
– One Video cinch cable
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.
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.
● The lens may cloud over when the system is suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings, making it impossible to play a disc.
Leave the system in the warm environment until the moisture evaporates.
● The mechanical parts of the set contain selflubricating 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.

E Connecting other equipment to your system
Use a cinch cable to connect AUX/CDR IN to the analogue audio out terminals of an external equipment (TV, VCR, Laser Disc player, DVD player or CD Recorder).
Note:
– If you are connecting equipment with a mono output (a single audio out terminal), connect it to the AUX/CDR IN left terminal. Alternatively, you can use a “single to double” cinch cable (the output sound still remain mono).
● Fully insert the stripped portion of the speaker wire into the terminal as shown.
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.
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 compartment.
D Video Out Connection
Connect the VIDEO OUT 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 will not 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.
