CHAPTER 1 CHAPTER 2 CHAPTER 1 CHAPTER 2 CHAPTER 3

Entertainment for the new millennium

Video was never like this before! Digital video discs provide perfect digital, studio-quality pictures; three dimensional digital, multi-channel audio; story sequences screened from your choice of camera angle; sound tracks in as many as eight languages; and up to 32 subtitles (if available on disc).Whether you watch DVD-Video on wide-screen or regular TV, you always see it the way it was meant to be.

Digital video

DVD-Video uses state-of-the-art MPEG2 data compression technology to register an entire movie on a single 5-inch disc. DVD’s variable bitrate compression, running at up to 9.8 Mbits/second, captures even the most complex pictures in their original quality.

The crystal-clear digital pictures have a horizontal resolution of over 500 lines, with 720 pixels (picture elements) to each line.This resolution is more than double that of VHS, superior to Laser Disc, and entirely comparable with digital masters made in recording studios.

DVD-Video discs conform to either the PAL or NTSC video standard.

This player can play both PAL and NTSC discs, presenting them in the best possible way on your multi-standard TV screen.

As the universal video system of the future, DVD-Video offers optimal pictures on any TV screen.

Introduction

Your Philips DVD-Video player will play digital video discs conforming to the universal DVD-Video standard.With it, you will be able to enjoy fulllength movies with true cinema picture quality, as well as stereo or multi-channel sound (depending on the disc and your playback setup).

The unique features of DVD-Video, such as selection of sound track, subtitle languages and different camera angles (again depending on the disc), are all included.What’s more, Philips Child Lock lets you decide which discs your children will be able to see.

In addition to DVD-Video discs, you will be able to play all Video CDs and Audio CDs (including finalized CD Recordable and CD Rewritable).

You will find the On-Screen Display, player display, and remote control make the player easy to use.This manual provides all the information you will need, so read on!

DVD-Video

You will recognize DVD-Video discs by the logo shown on left.

Depending on the material on the disc (a movie, video clips, a drama series, etc.) the disc may have one or more Titles. Each Title may have one or more Chapters.To make playback easy and convenient, your player lets you select Titles and playback Chapters.

8 INTRODUCTION

Video CD

You will recognize Video CDs by the logo shown at left.

Depending on the material on the disc (a movie, video clips, a drama series, etc.) the disc may have one or more tracks.Tracks may have one or more indexes, as indicated on the disc case.To make playback easy and convenient, your player lets you select tracks and indexes.

Super VCD

SVCD discs based on the Super VCD IO Standard based on the

Standard of the Electronics Industry of the People’s Republic of China

Audio CD

Audio CDs contain music tracks only.

You will recognize Audio CDs by their logo which is shown at left.

You can play them in conventional style through a stereo system, using the keys on the remote control and/or front panel, or via the TV using the On-Screen Display (OSD).

Unpacking

First check and identify the contents of your DVD-Video player package.

You should have the following items.

- DVD-Video player

- Remote Control with batteries

- AC power cord

- Audio/Video cable

- Instructions for use

If any item is damaged or missing, contact your retailer or Philips.

Keep the packaging materials; you may need them to transport your player in the future.

Placement

●

●

●

●

●

Place the player on a firm, flat surface.

Keep the player away from domestic heating equipment and direct sunlight.

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

If the DVD-Video player cannot read CDs/DVDs correctly, use a commonly available cleaning CD/DVD to clean the lens before taking the

DVD-Video player to be repaired. Other cleaning methods may destroy the lens. Always keep the tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.

The lens may cloud over when the DVD-Video player is suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings. Playing a CD/DVD is not possible then.

Leave the DVD-Video player in a warm environment until the moisture evaporates.
