Your Philips DVD-Video player plays digital video discs confor-
ming to the universal DVD-Video standard. With it, you will
be able to enjoy full-length movies with true movie-theater
picture quality and stereo or multichannel sound (depending
on the disc and on your player set-up). The unique features of
DVD-Video, including selecting sound track and subtitling lan-
guages, and different camera angles (again depending on the
disc), are all included. What is more: Philips Parental Control
lets you decide which discs your children will be able to view.

You will find your player remarkably easy to use, based on the
On-Screen Display and player display in combination with the
remote control.

In addition to DVD-Video discs, you will also be able to play
all Video CDs and audio CDs. The disc types that run on the
player feature one or more of these logos on the disc packa-
ging:

First check and identify the contents of your DVD-Video player
package, as listed below:

- DVD-Video player

- Remote Control Handset with separately-packed batteries

- 3-core power cord

- A/V Euroconnector cable (Europe)

- S-Video (USA)

- 1-way video (CVBS) cable

- 2-way audio cable

- User Manual

If any item should be damaged or missing, please immediate-
ly inform your supplier.

Keep the packaging materials; you may need them to trans-
port your player in the future.

• Place the player on a sturdy, flat surface.

• Keep away from domestic           

heating equipment and avoid
direct sunlight.

• In a cabinet, allow about 1 inch

of free space all around the play-
er for adequate ventilation.

• If your DVD-Video player fails to read discs correctly, use a

commonly-available cleaning CD/DVD to clean the lens
before taking the DVD-Video player for repair. Avoid other
cleaning methods, because these may damage the lens.
Always keep the tray closed to avoid getting dust on the
lens.

• The lens may cloud over when the DVD-Video player is sud-

denly moved from cold to warm surroundings, in which
case it will not be possible to play a CD/DVD. Leave the
DVD-Video player in the warm environment until the moi-
sture evaporates.
