This Digital Video Disc Player will allow you to enjoy better picture quality, clearer sound, and endless playback features on Digital Video Discs (DVDs). Expanding technology allows you to add options to your viewing - watch a director's cut of a movie, listen to the producer's comments, or play your favorite scene repeatedly. Hear a movie in different languages, or listen only to the soundtrack. The possibilities are limited only by your choices and the materials available on the DVD. Of course, you can listen to your favorite Audio Compact Discs (CDs) on this Player, too. Determine the order in which you want to hear the songs, or play the Disc repeatedly - all while seeing the status of the Audio CD on your television. We hope you enjoy this Player and learn to use its features. To get the most from the Player, read this manual carefully. It will describe how you can access these features.

Please observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of packaging materials, exhausted batteries, and old equipment. Safety Information G G G G G G G G Do not expose the system to excessive moisture, rain, sand, heat, or humidity. Place the Player on a firm, flat surface. Keep the Player away from domestic heating equipment and direct sunlight. When placing the Player in a cabinet, allow about one inch of space all around the Player for ventilation. Leave enough room in front of the Player for the disc tray to open completely. If the Player is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens inside the Player. If this occurs, the Player will not operate normally. Leave the power on for about one hour with no disc in the Player until normal playback is possible. The mechanical parts of the set contain self-lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or lubricated. When the Player is turned off, it is still consuming some power. To disconnect the system from the power supply completely, remove the AC power plug from the wall socket. Always keep the tray closed to avoid dust on the lens. Cleaning Discs G G When a Disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the Disc from the center out, in a straight line. Do not wipe the Disc in a circular pattern. Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for analog discs. Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories.

The color system of the DVD may appear on the DVD or on the Disc case. NTSC PAL 8 General Information Battery Installation 1 2 3 Remove the battery compartment lid on the rear of the remote control by pressing in the tab, then lifting off the lid. Place two AA batteries inside the battery compartment with their + and ­ ends aligned as indicated. Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, etc.). Replace the battery compartment lid. Using the Remote Control Unless stated otherwise, the remote control can operate all the features of the DVD Player. Always point the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the front of the Player, not the TV. Details are on page 17. Make sure there are no barriers between the remote control and the DVD Player. When referring to this manual, remember... DVD The feature is available on some Digital Video Discs. AUDIO CD The feature is available on some Audio Compact Discs. VIDEO CD The feature is available on some Video Compact Discs or Super Video CDs. DVD Disc Menus... Some explanations in this manual describe the DVD Disc Menus, which vary among DVDs. Movie producers set these menus, and not all DVDs have menus. If the DVD has a menu, access the Disc Menu by pressing DISC MENU on the remote control. Details are on page 19. DVD Player Menus... Some instructions explain how to use the Player's Setup menu to set up features of the Player or the Disc. You get to the Setup Menu by pressing SYSTEM MENU on the remote control. Even if a feature is set up in the Player's menu, it will not be available if the current Disc does not include that feature. To adjust features in the Player's Setup Menu, see pages 24-30 and 32-41. Available Disc Features... Features in this manual may not be available on every Disc. If the feature is not available, you cannot use the Player to make the feature available. A stop hand will appear in the top left corner of the TV screen if you try to access a feature that is not available on the current Disc. Hookups 9 Determining the best possible connection... The capabilities of your existing equipment, especially your TV, will determine your connection possibilities. However, the following guidelines describe which options provide the best picture and sound quality. HHHH Component Video provides the best picture quality. Details are on page 12. HHH S-Video provides excellent picture quality. Details are on page 11. HH Composite Video (a yellow Video jack) provides good picture quality. Details are on page 10. HH Your TV may have only an RF-style jack, usually labeled Antenna In or 75 ohm or RF In. You will need an RF modulator in order to view the Player at your TV. See your electronics retailer for details on RF modulator availability and operations. HHHH Digital audio connections provide the clearest sound, but you must have a digital Stereo. Connect the Player's black COAXIAL Digital Audio Out jack to your Stereo for the best sound quality. Details are on page 14. If a digital connection is not possible, connect the Player's red and white AUDIO OUT jacks to the Audio In jacks of your Stereo or TV. Details are on pages 10-13. HHH Before you begin... G G Refer to the manuals of your TV, Stereo, or other equipment as necessary. Note the style of jacks and connectors on the other equipment. Determine how to choose different Audio and Video In channels on your other equipment so you can see and hear the Player on the TV, Stereo, etc. Disconnect all equipment from the power outlets. Connect the equipment to the power outlets only after you have finished hooking up everything. Never make or change connections with equipment connected to the power outlet. Remember... G G G G G Connect the Player directly to the TV. For example, do not connect the Player to a VCR, then connect the VCR to a TV. This type of connection may distort the picture and sound. Also, your VCR might have the copy protection system, which could distort the DVD image or prevent playback of some Discs. Set the TV to the correct Video In channel. Such channels may be called AUX or AUXILIARY IN, AUDIO/VIDEO or A/V IN, EXT1 or EXT2 or External In, etc. These channels are often near channel 00. Your TV or its remote control may have a Video or Auxiliary switch/button that allows you to choose the correct Video In channel. See your TV manual for details. Or, change TV channels until you see the blue Philips DVD background screen or the Player's screen saver on the TV screen. Set the Stereo to the correct channel or "source" mode. Do not connect the DVD Player's AUDIO OUT jacks to the PHONO IN jack of your Stereo. You only need one audio connection and one video connection between the Player and your TV and/or Stereo. So, you might not use all the jacks on the Player. Once you determine the best option, find your choice on pages 10-14. Follow the steps for the hookup you choose. 10 Hookups (cont'd) Connecting to a TV Only TV has a yellow Video In jack 2 VIDEO IN Back of TV (example only) RIGHT AUDIO IN LEFT AUDIO IN S-VIDEO IN RIGHT AUDIO IN LEFT AUDIO IN 1 Y Pb Pr VIDEO OUT 3 1 2 3 4 Connect the yellow VIDEO (VIDEO OUT) jack of the Player to the corresponding VIDEO IN jack on your TV. Use the supplied video cable, which has yellow ends. Connect the supplied audio cable to the red and white AUDIO OUT (right and left) jacks on the Player and to the right/left AUDIO IN jacks on the TV. The supplied audio cable has red and white ends. Match the cable colors to the jack colors. The red jack is the Right audio channel and the white jack is the Left audio channel. Plug the power cords of the Player and the TV into an active power outlet. Press down POWER ON/OFF on the front of the Player to turn on the Player. Turn on the TV power. Set the TV to the correct Video In channel. See your TV owner's manual for details. Or, change channels at the TV until you see the blue Philips DVD background screen or the Player's screen saver on the TV. Helpful Hints · On the TV, the Video In jack is usually yellow and might be labeled video, CVBS, composite, or baseband. · If your TV has a single Audio In jack instead of separate left/right Audio In jacks, you will need a different audio cable.
