General Information/Maintenance

Environmental information

Any 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.

Care and safety information

Avoid high temperatures, moisture, water and dust

● Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight). Always keep disc trays closed to avoid dust buildup on the lens.

● No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

● No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.

Avoid condensation problem

● The lens may cloud over when the player is suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings, making it impossible to play a disc.

Leave the player in the warm environment until the moisture evaporates.

Do not block the vents

● Do not operate the system in an enclosed cabinet and allow about 10 cm (4 inches) of free space all around the player for adequate ventilation.

● The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers table-cloths, curtains, etc.

Cleaning the cabinet

● Use soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution.

Do not use a solution containing alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasives.

Cleaning discs

● To clean a CD, wipe it in a straight line from the center towards the edge using soft and lint-free cloth. A cleaning agent may damage the disc.

● Write only on the printed side of a CDR(W) and only with a soft felt-tipped pen.

● Handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the surface.

Cleaning the disc lens

● After prolonged use, dirt or dust may accumulate at the disc lens. To ensure good playback quality, clean the disc lens with Philips CD Lens Cleaner or any commercially available cleaner. Follow the instructions supplied with cleaner.

Finding a suitable location

● Place the player on a flat, hard, stable surface.

Cleaning the head and the tape paths

● To ensure good recording and playback quality, clean the head A, the capstan(s) B, and pressure roller(s) C after every 50 hours of tape operation.

● Use a cotton swab slightly moistened with cleaning fluid or alcohol.

● You also can clean the head by playing a cleaning tape once.

SPEAKERS 4 speaker

(left)

For best possible surround sound, all speakers

(except subwoofer) should be placed at the same distance from the listening position.

● Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances from the TV set and at an angle of approximately 45 degrees from the listening position.

● Place the center speaker above the TV set or the system so the center channel’s sound is localized.

● Place the surround speakers at normal listening ear level facing each other or mounted on the set.

● Place the subwoofer on the floor near the TV set.

Notes:

– To avoid magnetic interference, do not position the front speakers too close to your TV set.

– Allow adequate ventilation around the DVD Mini

Hi-Fi System.

IMPORTANT!

The type plate is located on the rear of the system.

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.

● 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 “–”. Fully insert the stripped portion of the speaker wire into the terminal as shown.

● Connect the Surround Speakers and Center

Speaker system using the supplied speaker cables to the speaker jacks on the SUBWOOFER by matching the colours of the jacks and speaker plugs.

● Connect the Subwoofer using the supplied speaker cable to the DIN OUT jack on the DVD

Mini Hi-Fi System.

● Connect the AC MAINS.

IMPORTANT!

– You only need to make one video connection from the following options, according to the capabilities of your TV system.

– S-Video or Component Video connection provides higher picture quality. These options must be available on your TV set.

– Connect the system directly to the TV set.

Using Video In jack (CVBS)

● Use the composite video cable (yellow) to connect the system’s CVBS jack to the video input jack (or labeled as A/V In, Video In,

Composite or Baseband) on the TV set.

● To listen to TV channels through this system, use the audio cables (white/red) to connect AUX/

TV IN (L/R) jacks to the corresponding

AUDIO OUT jacks on the TV set.

IMPORTANT!

– If both S-Video and Component (Pr

Pb Y) Video connections are used to connect to your TV set, the Video signal will automatically switch to S-Video when you power up the system. To set the VIDEO OUT (put) to ‘Pr Pb Y’, see page 31, Using the Setup Menu – Setting the video out.

Using component Video In jack (Pr Pb Y)

● Use the component video cables (red/blue/ green) to connect the system’s Pr Pb Y jacks to the corresponding Component video input jacks

(or labeled as Pr/Cr Pb/Cb Y or YUV) on the TV set.

● To listen to TV channels through this system, use the audio cables (white/red) to connect AUX/

TV IN (L/R) jacks to the corresponding

AUDIO OUT jacks on the TV set.

IMPORTANT!

– If your TV set only has a single

Antenna In jack (or labeled as 75 ohm or

RF In), you will need a RF modulator in order to view the DVD playback via TV.

See your electronics retailer or contact

Philips for details on RF modulator availability and operations.

Using S-Video In jack

● Use the S-Video cable (not supplied) to connect the system’s S-VIDEO OUT jack to the S-

Video input jack (or labeled as Y/C or S-VHS) on the TV set.

● To listen to TV channels through this system, use the audio cables (white/red) to connect AUX/

TV IN (L/R) jacks to the corresponding

AUDIO OUT jacks on the TV set.

Using an accessory RF modulator

● Use the composite cable (yellow) to connect the system’s CVBS jack to the video input jack on the RF modulator.

● Use the RF coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the RF modulator to your TV’s RF jack.

4:3, and that of wide-screens is 16:9.

AUDIO OUT Jacks: Jacks on the back of the

DVD System that send audio to another system

(TV set, Stereo, etc.).

Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold a given length of music; measured in kilobits per second, or kbps. Or, the speed at which you record. Generally, the higher the bit rate better the sound quality. However, higher bit rates use more space on a Disc.

Chapter: Sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of several chapters. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number enabling you to locate the chapter you want.

Component Video Out Jacks: Jacks on the back of the DVD System that sends high-quality video to a TV set that has Component Video In jacks (R/G/B, Y/Pb/Pr, etc.).

Group, which features small decrease in image quality in spite of its high compression ratio.

MP3: A file format with a sound data compression system, “MPE” is the abbreviation of

The limitation varies from disc to disc; when it is activated, playback will be prohibited if the software’s level is higher than the user-set level.

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation): A system for converting analog sound signal to digital signal for later processing without data compression.

Playback control (PBC): Refers to the signal recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for reproduction control. By using screen menus recorded on a Video CD or SVCD that supports

PBC, you can enjoy interactive-type software as well as software having a search function.

Plug and Play (for tuner installation):

Once powered on, the system will prompt the user to proceed with the automatic installation of radio stations by simply pressing 2; on the main unit.

Region code: A system allowing discs to be played only in preset regions. This unit will only play discs that have compatible region codes. You can find the region code of your unit from the product label. Some discs are compatible with more than one region (or ALL regions).

S-Video: Produces a clear picture by sending separate signals for luminance and the color. You can use S-Video only if your TV set has S-Video

In jack.

Sampling Frequency: Frequency of data sampling when analog data is converted to digital data. Sampling frequency numerically represents how many times the original analog signal is sampled per second.

Surround: A system for users to create realistic three-dimensional sound fields full of realism by arranging multiple speakers around the listener.
