DVD discs

Your Philips DVD Receiver player will play digital video discs conforming to the universal DVD Video standard. In addition to DVD Video discs, you will be able to play audio CDs.

DVD Video discs have “Titles” and “Chapters”. There can be several Titles on one disc and each Title can contain several Chapters. Titles and Chapters are numbered (e.g. Title 1,Title 2, etc., and Chapter 1, 2, 3, etc.).

Usually one Title will show the disc publisher and studio logos. Under another Title is the featue film itself. Other Titles can contain trailers for other films also available, or introduction notes from the film, or alternative endings for the film. There are many possibilities with Digital Versatile Discs.

Chapters within the main Title allow you to search quickly for a specific point on the disc. Many discs have a “Chapter Menu”, sometimes called “Scene Index” or “Scene Menu”, that displays the first shot from each Chapter and allows you to select a shot and play the disc from that point onwards. DVD discs can be PAL or NTSC. This player can play both types (as long as the zone is correct formatted).

DVD discs allow up to eight languages and 32 subtitles on a single disc. You can select and change the language and subtitle to suit yourself. You can play the whole disc or just part of it and view it from different angles. However, availability of these features varies among discs. Check the disc menu or outer case to see if such features (for example, subtitles, angles) are available on the disc.

Player Zones

There are six world zones for the distribution of DVD Discs. The zone your player is intended for is indicated on the “Zone Label”. This should be the same as the label on discs available in your region. If you have any difficulty playing a disc, make sure the disc is the same zone as your player.
