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 full-length 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!

Instructions for use

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

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

Audio CD

Audio CDs contain music tracks only.

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

Cleaning discs

Some problems occur because the disc inside the player is dirty.To avoid these problems clean your discs regularly, in the following way:

When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.

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