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 specialised 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

– AC power cord

– One Video cinch cable

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 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.

– 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) .

B Antennas Connection

Connect the supplied AM loop antenna and FM antenna to the respective terminals. Adjust the position of the antenna for optimal reception.

AM Antenna

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 ANTENNA terminal.

C Speakers Connection

Front Speakers

Connect the speaker wires to the SPEAKERS

(FRONT) terminals, right speaker to " R " and left speaker to " L ", coloured (marked) wire to " + " and black (unmarked) wire to " ".

1 2

Fully insert the stripped portion of the speaker wire into the terminal as shown.

Rear Surround Speakers

Connect the speaker wires to the REAR

SURROUND terminals, right speaker to " R " and left speaker to " L ", coloured (marked) wire to " + " and black (unmarked) wire to " ".

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.

Preparations

E 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/CDR IN terminals.

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 (still be mono sound).

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.

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.
