Environmental information

All unnecessary packaging has been omitted. We have tried to make the packaging easy to separate into three materials: cardboard (box), polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags, protective foam sheet).

Your system consists of materials which can be recycled and reused if disassembled by a specialised company. Please observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of packaging materials, exhausted batteries and old equipment.

Installation

• Place the player on a flat, hard, and stable surface.
• In a cabinet, allow about 10cm (4 inches) of free space all around the player for adequate ventilation.
• Do not expose your player to extreme temperatures or humidity. The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquid, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
• No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, shall be placed on the apparatus. The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc.

Maintenance

• When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out, in a straight line.
• Do not expose the player, 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 dust on the lens.

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

Step 1: Placing speakers and subwoofer

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

• Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances from the TV set and at an angle of approximately 45 degrees from the listening position.
• Place the center speaker above the TV set or the system so the center channel's sound is localized.
• Place the surround speakers at normal listening ear level, facing each other or mounted on the set.
• Place the subwoofer on the floor near the TV set.

Notes:

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

IMPORTANT!

The type plate is located on the rear of the system.

To avoid overheating of the system, a safety circuit has been built in. Therefore, your system may switch to Standby mode automatically under extreme conditions. If this happens, let the system cool down before reusing it.

Step 2: Connecting speakers and subwoofer

IMPORTANT!

A sticker indicating speaker types (e.g., front/rear and left/right speaker) can be found at the back of each supplied speaker box (except the supplied subwoofer box).

- Connect the supplied speaker wires of the front speakers (FRONT L. and FRONT R.) to the speaker jacks of the DVD player, right speaker to "R", left speaker to "L", colored (labeled) wire to "+", labeled black wire to "-". Fully insert the stripped portion of the speaker wire into the terminal as shown.

- Connect the supplied speaker wires of the surround speakers (REAR L. and REAR R.) and center speaker (CENTER) to the speaker jacks on the SUBWOOFER by matching the corresponding speaker type, and colored (labeled) wire to "+", labeled black wire to "-".

- Using the supplied DIN OUT cable, connect the Subwoofer's DIN IN jack to the DVD player's DIN OUT jack.

- Connect the AC MAINS.

Notes:

• For optimal sound performance, use the supplied speakers.
• Do not connect more than one speaker to any one pair of +/- speaker terminals.
• Do not connect speakers with an impedance lower than the speakers supplied. Please refer to the SPECIFICATIONS section of this manual.

Step 3: Connecting TV set

IMPORTANT!

• You only need to make one video connection from the following options, according to the capabilities of your TV system.
• S-Video or Component Video connection provides higher picture quality. These options must be available on your TV set.
• Connect the system directly to the TV set.

Using Video In jack (CVBS)

Use the composite video cable (yellow) to connect the system's VIDEO jack to the video input jack (or labeled as A/V In, Video In, Composite or Baseband) on the TV set. ● To listen to TV channels through this system, use the audio cables (white/red, not supplied) to connect AUX IN (L/R) jacks to the corresponding AUDIO OUT jacks on the TV set.

Using component Video In jack (Pr Pb Y)

• Use the component video cables (red/blue/green, not supplied) to connect the system's Pr/Cr Pb/Cb Y jacks to the corresponding Component video input jacks (or labeled as Pr/Cr Pb/Cb Y or YUV) on the TV set.
• To listen to TV channels through this system, use the audio cables (white/red, not supplied) to connect AUX IN jacks to the corresponding AUDIO OUT jacks on the TV set.

Notes for progressive scan video:

• The progressive scan video quality is only possible when using Y Pb Pr, and a progressive scan TV is required.
• If you are using a Progressive Scan TV (TV must indicate Progressive Scan or ProScan capability), to activate TV Progressive Scan, please refer to your TV user manual. For DVD system's Progressive Scan function, see "Getting Started - Setting up Progressive Scan feature".
• If your TV does not support Progressive Scan, you will not be able to view the picture. Press SYSTEM on the remote to exit the system menu and then DISC to exit progressive scan.

Using S-Video In jack

IMPORTANT!

- If S-video is used for DVD playback connection, the system's Video Setup setting will need to be changed accordingly.

- Use the S-Video cable (not supplied) to connect the system's S-VIDEO jack to the S-Video input jack (or labeled as Y/C or S-VHS) on the TV set.

- To listen to TV channels through this system, use the audio cables (white/red, not supplied) to connect AUX IN jacks to the corresponding AUDIO OUT jacks on the TV set.

Using an accessory RF modulator

IMPORTANT!

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

- Use the composite cable (yellow) to connect the system's VIDEO jack to the video input jack on the RF modulator.

- Use the RF coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the RF modulator to your TV's RF jack.

Step 4: 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.
• Connect the supplied FM antenna to the FM jack. Extend the FM antenna and fix its end to the wall.

For better FM stereo reception, connect an outdoor FM antenna to the FM AERIAL terminal.

Notes:

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

Step 5: Connecting the power cord

After everything is connected properly, plug in the AC power cord to the power outlet.

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

Step 6: Connecting a VCR or cable/satellite box

Analog: Sound that has not been turned into numbers. Analog sound varies, while digital sound has specific numerical values. These jacks send audio through two channels, the left and right.

Aspect ratio: The ratio of vertical and horizontal sizes of a displayed image. The horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3, and that of wide-screens is 16:9.

AUDIO OUT Jacks: Jacks on the back of the DVD System that send audio to another system (TV set, Stereo, etc.).

Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold a given length of music; measured in kilobits per second, or kbps. Or, the speed at which you record. Generally, the higher the bit rate the better the sound quality. However, higher bit rates use more space on a Disc.

Chapter: Sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of several chapters. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number enabling you to locate the chapter you want.

Component Video Out Jacks: Jacks on the back of the DVD System that send high-quality video to a TV set that has Component Video In jacks (R/G/B, Y/Pb/Pr, etc.).

Disc menu: A screen display prepared for the selection of images, sound, subtitles, multi-angles, etc recorded on a DVD.

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation): A system for converting analog sound signal to digital signal for later processing without data compression.

Playback control (PBC): Refers to the signal recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for reproduction control. By using screen menus recorded on a Video CD or SVCD that supports PBC, you can enjoy interactive-type software as well as software having a search function.

Progressive Scan (P-Scan): It displays all the horizontal lines of a picture at one time, as a signal frame. This system can convert interlaced video from DVD into progressive format for connection to a progressive display. It dramatically increases the vertical resolution. A progressive scan TV set is needed to receive progressive scan output from the system.

Region code: A system allowing discs to be played only in preset regions. This unit will only play discs that have compatible region codes. You can find the region code of your unit from the product label. Some discs are compatible with more than one region (or ALL regions).
