Philips 711 Introduction

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.

DVD-Video uses state-of-the-art MPEG2 data compression technology to

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.

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!

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.
