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 the disc tray closed to avoid getting dust on the lens.

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 DVD system in an enclosed cabinet and allow about 10 cm (4 inches) of free space all around the player for adequate ventilation.

Care of disc

- To clean a CD, wipe it in a straight line from the centre towards the edge using a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use cleaning agent, as they may damage the disc!

Illustration of hands holding a circular object with a pointer (no text or symbols)

- 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.

Care of the cabinet

- Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use a solution containing alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasives.

Finding a suitable location

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

Step 1: Set up the surround speakers

Before connecting the speakers to the DVD system, firmly attach the mini speaker stands to the surround speakers using the supplied screws.

OR

2 Alternatively, you can choose to mount the speakers on the wall. Attach the supplied bracket firmly to the rear of speakers using the supplied screws. Then mount a screw (not supplied) on the wall where the speaker is to be hung and hook the speaker securely onto the mounted screw.

CAUTION!

You should get a qualified person to attach the brackets to the wall.

DO NOT do it by yourself to avoid unexpected damage to the equipment or injury to personnel.

Note:

- The surround speakers are labelled as REAR L (left) or REAR R (right).

Step 2: Set up the front speakers with the subwoofer stands

The connections between front speakers and DVD system are through the twin subwoofer stands.

① Attach the left front speaker to the left subwoofer stand and right front speaker to the right subwoofer stand.

2 If you want to disconnect speaker from the subwoofer stand, press the button at the rear of subwoofer stand while pulling up the speaker.

Note:

- The front speakers are labelled as FRONT L (left) or FRONT R (right).

Step 3: Connecting speakers and twin subwoofer

Connect the supplied speaker systems using the supplied speaker cables by matching the colours of the jacks and speaker cables.

Fully insert the stripped portion of the speaker wire into the jacks.

Speakers / Subwoofer
Front Left (FL) (L)	black	white
Front Right (FR) (R)	black	red
Center (C)	black	green
Surround Left (SL)	black	blue
Surround Right (SR)	black	gray
Subwoofer (L)	black	purple
Subwoofer (R)	black	purple

Notes:

- Ensure that the speaker cables are correctly connected. Improper connections may damage the system due to short-circuit.

- Do not connect more than one speaker to any one pair of +/- speaker jacks.

- Do not connect speakers with an impedance lower than the speakers supplied. Please refer to the SPECIFICATIONS section of this manual.

Step 4: Placing the speakers and subwoofers

For best possible surround sound, all the speakers should be placed at the same distance from the listening position.

1 Place the left and right front speakers with subwoofer stands at equal distances from the TV and at an angle of approximately 45 degrees from the listening position.
2 Place the centre speaker above the TV or the DVD system so that the centre channel's sound is localised.
3 Place the surround speakers at normal listening ear level facing each other or mounted on the wall.

Notes:

• To avoid magnetic interference, do not position the front speakers too close to your TV.
• Allow adequate ventilation around the DVD system.

Step 5: Connecting FM/MW antennas

Connect the supplied MW loop antenna to the MW jack. Place the MW loop antenna on a shelf or attach it to a stand or wall.
2 Connect the supplied FM antenna to the FM jack. Extend the FM antenna and fix its ends to the wall.

For better FM stereo reception, connect an external FM antenna (not supplied).

Notes:

• Adjust the position of the antennas for optimal reception.
• Position the antennas as far as possible from your TV, VCR or other radiation source to prevent unwanted interference.

Step 6: Connecting TV

IMPORTANT!

- You only need to make one video connection from the following options, depending on the capabilities of your TV system.

- Connect the DVD system directly to the TV.

Using Composite Video jack (CVBS)

Use the composite video cable (yellow) to connect the DVD system's CVBS jack to the video input jack (or labelled as A/V In, Video In, Composite or Baseband) on the TV.
2 To hear the TV channels through this DVD system, use the audio cables (white/red) to connect TV IN (L/R) jacks to the corresponding AUDIO OUT jacks on the TV.
3 Set the P-SCAN switch to 'OFF.'

IMPORTANT!

- Component Video connection provides higher picture quality. This option must be available on your TV. - The progressive scan video quality is only possible through Component Video (Pr Pb Y) output.

Using Component Video jacks (Pr Pb Y)

Use the component video cables (red/blue/green) to connect the DVD system's Pr Pb Y jacks to the corresponding Component video input jacks (or labelled as Pr/ Cr Pb/Cb Y or YUV) on the TV.
2 To hear the TV channels through this DVD system, use the audio cables (white/red) to connect TV IN (L/R) jacks to the corresponding AUDIO OUT jacks on the TV.
3 If you are using a Progressive Scan TV (TV must indicate Progressive Scan or ProScan capability,) set the P-SCAN switch to 'ON.' Otherwise, set it to 'OFF.'

IMPORTANT!

- S-Video connection provides better picture quality. This option must be available on your TV.

Using S-Video jack

Use the S-video cable (not supplied) to connect the DVD system's S-VIDEO OUT jack to the S-Video input jack (or labelled as Y/C or S-VHS) on the TV.
2 To hear the TV channels through this DVD system, use the audio cables (white/red) to connect TV IN (L/R) jacks to the corresponding AUDIO OUT jacks on the TV.
3 Set the P-SCAN switch to 'OFF.'

IMPORTANT!

- If your TV only has a single Antenna In jack (or labelled as 75 ohm or RF In), you will need an RF modulator in order to view the DVD playback on the TV. See your electronics retailer or contact Philips for details on RF modulator availability and operations.

Using an accessory RF modulator

Use the composite video cable (yellow) to connect the DVD system's CVBS jack to the video input jack on the RF modulator.
2 Use the RF coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the RF modulator to your TV's RF jack.
3 Set the P-SCAN switch to 'OFF.'

Step 7: Connecting the power cord

After everything is connected properly,

1 Set the VOLTAGE SELECTOR to the local power line voltage.
2 Plug in the AC power cord to the power outlet.

Never make or change any connections with the power switched on.

On the DVD system,

"AUTO INSTALL - PRESS PLAY" may appear on the display panel. Press ▶II on the front panel to store all available radio stations or press ■ to exit (see page 40 "Tuner Operations").
