Helpful Hints

You only need to make one video connection to your TV in order to view the DVD playback.

75Ω If your TV has only a single Antenna In jack, you will need an accessory RF modulator.

The RF modulator converts the video from the DVD system so it can play through the TV's Antenna connector. Refer to your owner's manual for proper connection.

Additional Video Input Connections can provide better picture quality and image for DVD movie playback (If your TV is compatible):

Connect the DVD system VIDEO OUT(put) directly to the TV. Do not connect to a VCR first and then to a TV. This type of connection may distort the picture and sound playback.

When listening to TV programs, press TV/AV button on the remote to set the DVD system to TV/AV mode in order for the sound to be heard.

1 Press DISC on the remote control.

You can also adjust the SOURCE button on the front panel until "DISC" appears on the display panel.

2 Turn on the TV and select the correct Video In mode.

You should see the blue Philips DVD background screen on the TV (if no disc is in the DVD system).

Usually this channel is between the lowest and highest channels and may be called FRONT, A/V IN, or VIDEO.

Or, you may go to channel 1 on your TV, then press the Channel down button repeatedly until you see the Video In channel.

Or, your TV remote control may have a button or switch that chooses different video modes.

Do not use channel 3 or 4 on the TV unless you are using an RF modulator.

See your TV manual for more details.

3 Press OPEN•CLOSE ▲ on the front of the DVD system and load a disc, then press the OPEN•CLOSE ▲ again to close the disc tray.

Make sure the disc label is facing up. For double-sided discs, load the side you want to play facing up.

Option 1

Use the S-video cable to connect the system's S-VIDEO OUT jack to the S-Video input jack on the TV.

OR

Option 2

Use the component video cables (red/blue/green) (not supplied) to connect the system's Pr/Cr Pb/CbY jacks to the corresponding Pr/Cr Pb/CbY input jacks on the TV.

IMPORTANT!

If S-VIDEO or Component video (Pr/Cr Pb/Cb Y) is used for DVD playback connection, the system's VIDEO OUT setting will need to be set accordingly. Details are on pages 12-13.

- If your TV only has an RF-style jack (Antenna In or 75 ohm)

You will need an RF modulator in order to view the playback of DVD discs on your TV. Ask your dealer for details on RF modulator availability and compatibility. Follow the instructions provided with the RF modulator to connect the DVD system to your TV.

Setting the features

- Parental

Enables setting of playback limitation level. Some DVDs may have a parental level assigned to the complete disc or to certain scenes on the disc. The rating levels are from 1 to 8 and are country dependent. You can prohibit the playing of certain discs that are not suitable for your children or have certain discs played with alternative scenes.

1 Enter the 4-digit code. If necessary, enter the code a second time.

2 Use ▲▼ keys to select a rating level.

3 Press OK to confirm.

Rating - NO PARENT

If parental control is not activated, it will play all discs.

Rating - 1 to 8

If the player's parental level is set below 8, only discs with a lower or equal level will play. For example, if the player is set to 5, only discs with ratings of 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 will be played. Higher rated scenes will not be played unless an alternative that has the same rating or lower is available on the disc. For example, consider a disc that generally is suitable for most audiences, and it is rated at level 2 for the most part. However, in the middle, there are also scenes rated at 5 (not suitable for children).

Selecting the surround sound mode

IMPORTANT!

- For proper surround sound, make sure you have followed the "Connections" and "Preparations" procedures fully.

- The center and surround speakers only operate when the system is set to surround sound mode and the source material being played is recorded or broadcast in Dolby Digital, DTS, or Dolby Pro Logic surround sound.

- Stereo broadcasts or recordings will produce some surround channel effects when played in a surround mode. However, monaural sources will not produce any sound from the surround speakers.

● Press SURROUND to select surround or stereo mode.

→The availability of the various surround sound modes depends on the number of speakers used and the incoming sound information available on the disc. The available output modes are shown below.

Dolby Digital Surround

Dolby Digital (also known as AC-3 or Dolby 5.1) and MPEG Multichannel deliver a realistic and dynamic sound similar to theater and cinema. It requires connection of all five speakers (front left/right, center, surround left/right) and subwoofer for correct Dolby Digital Surround sound reproduction. Each channel plays its own unique role in providing the right sound. Front left, center, and right join two surround speakers to reproduce high, mid, and bass frequencies in five full-range channels of surround. Bass rumble, explosions, and low frequency effects you feel are delivered through the subwoofer. A large number of DVD discs have been recorded in Dolby Digital Surround.

DTS Surround

The DTS Surround is a cinema surround sound format that offers superior digital audio performance. DTS offers more clarity and definition especially for higher tones. The better sound quality is a result of the limited sound compression (3:1 instead of 11:1 for Dolby Digital) and the 20-bit resolution.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround

The Dolby Pro Logic Surround system is a specially encoded two-channel analog format that will produce sound through four speaker channels (front left, center, front right, monaural surround) when a Dolby Pro Logic Decoder is used. It is also compatible with stereo systems but the user will only have two-channel (front left & right) of sound.

Matrix

A new surround playback system that delivers amazingly rich and convincing four-channel surround outputs (front left/right, surround left/right).

VSS (Virtual Surround Sound)

The ProLogic MPEG or Dolby Digital surround channel is processed by a 'virtualizer' DSP to add surround effect from just the two front speakers.

Stereo

All sound is reproduced and played through the front left and right speakers. This enables standard stereo reproduction.

Selecting the digital sound effect

The digital sound effects allow you to select from various pre-set modes that control the frequency bands of sound to optimize certain musical styles. It greatly enhances the excitement and enjoyment of your favorite music.

- Press SOUND repeatedly to select the available sound effect.
