This player supports the MP3 format which contains compressed music tracks.

Unpacking

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

You should have the following items.

DVD-Video player

AC power cord

Remote Control with batteries

CVBS cable

SCART cable

Instructions for use

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

Keep the packaging material for future transportation.

Safety Information

Do not expose the system to excessive moisture, rain, sand, or heat sources.

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 power on for about one hour with no disc in the unit until normal playback is possible.

Cleaning Discs

When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the centre out, in a straight line.

Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for analog discs.
