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

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. ●No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus. ●No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, shall be placed on the apparatus. ● Install this unit near the AC outlet and where the AC power plug can be reached easily. ●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.

Hearing Safety

Listen at a moderate volume.

Using headphones at a high volume can impair your hearing. This product can produce sounds in decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss for a normal person, even for exposure less than a minute. The higher decibel ranges are offered for those that may have already experienced some hearing loss.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of sound. So after prolonged listening, what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. To guard against this, set your volume to a safe level before your hearing adapts and leave it there.

To establish a safe volume level:

Set your volume control at a low setting.

Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without distortion.

Listen for reasonable periods of time:

Prolonged exposure to sound, even at normally "safe" levels, can also cause hearing loss.

Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and take appropriate breaks.

Be sure to observe the following guidelines when using your headphones.

Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable periods of time.

Be careful not to adjust the volume as your hearing adapts.

Do not turn up the volume so high that you can't hear what's around you.

●You should use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.

- Do not use headphones while operating a motorized vehicle, cycling, skateboarding, etc.; it may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.

IMPORTANT!

• The type plate is located at the bottom of the system.
• Before connecting the AC power cord to the wall outlet, ensure that all other connections have been made.
• Never make or change any connections with the power switched on.

Step 1: Placing the speakers and subwoofer

For best possible surround sound, all the 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 and at an angle of approximately 45 degrees from the listening position. 2 Place the center speaker above the TV or the DVD system so that the center channel's sound is localized. 3 Place the rear speakers at normal listening ear level facing each other or hang on the wall. 4 Place the subwoofer on the floor near the TV.

Notes:

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

Step 2: Connecting speakers

Connect the speaker wires to the SPEAKER terminals by matching the color and silkscreen, coloured (marked) wire to "+" and black (unmarked) wire to "−". Fully insert the stripped portion of the speaker wire into the terminal as shown.

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

IMPORTANT!

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

Using Composite Video jack

Use the composite video cable (yellow) to connect the system's VIDEO OUT jack to the video input jack (or labelled as A/V In, Video In, Composite or Baseband) on the TV set. To listen to the TV channels through this DVD 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.

Using Component Video jacks (Y Pb Pr)

IMPORTANT!

The progressive scan video quality is only possible when using Y Pb Pr, and a progressive scan TV is required.

Use component video cables (red/blue/green - not supplied) to connect the DVD system's Y Pb Pr jacks to the corresponding Component video input jacks (or labelled as Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr or YUV) on the TV.

Pb Pr jacks to the corresponding Component video input jacks (or labeled as Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr or YUV) on the TV.

2 To listen to the TV channels through this DVD system, use the audio cables (white/red, not supplied) to connect the AUX 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), to activate TV Progressive Scan, please refer to your TV user manual. For DVD system Progressive Scan function, see "Getting Started - Setting up Progressive Scan feature".

Note:

- If your TV does not support Progressive Scan, you will not be able to view the picture. Press SYSTEM MENU on the remote to exit the system menu and then DISC and "1" to exit progressive scan.

Using S-Video jack

IMPORTANT!

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

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

2 To listen to the TV channels through this DVD 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.

Using an accessory RF modulator

IMPORTANT!

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

Use the composite video cable (yellow) to connect the DVD system's VIDEO OUT jack to the video input jack on the RF modulator. 2 Use an RF coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect ANTENNA OUT or TO TV jack on the RF modulator to the Antenna IN jack on the TV. 3 Connect the Antenna or Cable TV service signal to the ANTENNA IN or RF IN jack on the RF modulator. (It may have been connected to your TV previously. Disconnect it from the TV.)

Step 4: Connecting FM antenna

- Connect the supplied FM antenna to the FM (75 Ω) jack. Extend the FM antenna and fix its end to the wall.

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

Note:

• 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 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.

Additional: Connecting additional equipment

IMPORTANT!

• Some discs are copy-protected. You cannot record the disc through a VCR or digital recording device.
• When making connections, make sure the colour of cables matches the colour of jacks.
• Always refer to the owner's manual of the other equipment for complete connection and usage details.

Viewing and listening to the playback of other equipment Ⓐ

- Connect the system's AUX IN (R/L) jacks to the AUDIO OUT jacks on the other audio/visual device (such as a TV, VCR, Laser Disc player or cassette deck). Before starting operation, press SOURCE on the front panel to select AUX or press AUX on the remote in order to activate the input source.

Using the VCR for recording DVDs Ⓑ

Connect one of the system's VIDEO jacks to the corresponding VIDEO IN jack and LINE OUT (R/L) jacks to the AUDIO IN jacks on the VCR. This will allow you to make analogue stereo (two channel, right and left) recordings.

Recording (digital) ©

- Connect the system's COAXIAL jack to the DIGITAL IN jack on a digital recording device. Before starting operation, set the DIGITAL OUT according to the audio connection. (See "DIGITAL OUT".)

How to transfer music files from PC to a USB mass storage device

By dragging and dropping music files, you can easily transfer your favorite music from PC to a USB mass storage device.

For the flash player, you can also use its music management software for the music transfer.

However, those WMA files may be unplayable for compatibility reasons.

How to organize your MP3/WMA files on the USB mass storage device

This Hi-Fi system will browse the MP3/WMA files in the folders/sub-folders/titles order. Example:

Organize your MP3/WMA files in different folders or subfolders as required.

Notes:

• If you have not organized MP3/WMA files into any albums on your disc, an album "01" will be automatically assigned for all those files.
• Make sure that the file names of MP3 files end with .mp3. and the file names of WMA files end with .wma.
• For DRM protected WMA files, use Windows Media Player 10 (or later) for conversion. Visit www.microsoft.com for details about Windows Media Player and WM DRM (Windows Media Digital Rights Management).

Check the USB device has been properly connected. (See Installation: Connecting an additional appliance). 2 Press SOURCE (USB on the remote control) once or more to select USB.

- NO FILE appears if no audio file is found in the USB device.

3 Play the USB's audio files as you do with the albums/tracks on a CD (See Disc Operations).

Notes:

- For compatibility reasons, the album/track information may differ from what is displayed through flash players' music management software.

- File names or ID3 tags will be displayed as — if they are not in English.

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.

Digital: Sound that has been converted into numerical values. Digital sound is available when you use the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT COAXIAL or OPTICAL jacks. These jacks send audio through multiple channels, instead of just two channels as analog does.

Dolby Digital: A surround sound system developed by Dolby Laboratories containing up to six channels of digital audio (front left and right, surround left and right and center).

JPEG: A still-picture data compression system proposed by the Joint Photographic Expert Group, which features small decrease in image quality in spite of its high compression ratio.

MP3: A file format with a sound data compression system, "MPE" is the abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. Through the MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contain about 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can.

Multichannel: DVD is specified to have all sound tracks constitute one sound field. Multichannel refers to a structure of sound tracks having three or more channels.

Parental control: A function of the DVD to limit playback of the disc by the age of the users according to the limitation level in each country. The limitation varies from disc to disc; when it is activated, playback will be prohibited if the software's level is higher than the user-set level.

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).

S-Video: Produces a clear picture by sending separate signals for luminance and the color. You can use S-Video only if your TV set has S-Video In jack.
