Important notes for users in the
U.K.
Mains plug
This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13
Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug
proceed as follows:
1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp,
A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3 Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket
outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate
plug fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should
have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse
is used, the fuse at the distribution board
should not be greater than 5 Amp.
Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to
avoid a possible shock hazard should it be
inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured with
the following code: blue = neutral (N),
brown = live (L).
¶ As these colours may not correspond with the
colour markings identifying the terminals in
your plug, proceed as follows:
– Connect the blue wire to the terminal
marked N or coloured black.
– Connect the brown wire to the terminal
marked L or coloured red.
– Do not connect either wire to the earth
terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or
coloured green (or green and yellow).
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain
that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath
of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

Care and safety information
● Power consumption
– When the system is switched to
Standby mode, it is still consuming power.
To disconnect the system from the power
supply completely, remove the AC power
plug from the wall jack.

Remote Control
and two AA
batteries
Introduction
● Avoid high temperatures, moisture,
water and dust
– Do not expose the player, batteries or
discs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive
heat (caused by heating equipment or
direct sunlight).
● Avoid condensation
– 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.
● Do not block the vents
– Do not operate the DVD Player in an
enclosed cabinet. Allow about 10 cm (4
inches) of free space around the player for
adequate ventilation.

● Care of the cabinet
– Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with
a mild detergent solution. Do not use a
solution containing alcohol, spirits,
ammonia or abrasives.
● Finding a suitable location
– Place the player on a flat, hard, and
stable surface.
● Disc handling
– To clean a CD, wipe it in a
straight line from the center
toward the edge using a soft,
lint-free cloth. A cleaning
agent may damage the disc.
– Write only on the printed
side of a CD-R/CD-RW and only with a
soft felt-tipped pen.
– Handle the disc by its edge; do not
touch the surface.

Scan Mode
(Progressive/Interlace selector)
This switch will change the type of signal
output from the Component Video Out
on the DVD player.
Interlace:
Select this setting when connected to a
standard (interlace format) TV.
Progressive:
Select progressive when you have a TV
that can accept progressive signals (480/
525p) to enjoy accurate colour
reproduction and high quality images.
Helpful hints:
– During Progressive mode, 4:3 aspect
images are distorted when TV Shape is set to
‘16:9’ . Change the TV screen’s aspect ratio
settings to AUTO to avoid image distortion.
(see page 31 “4:3 Aspect”).
– Some TVs and projectors are not
compatible with this DVD Player. If picture
distorted during progressive signals, switch
the SCAN MODE to Interlace.
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. The RF
modulator is not supplied with the
DVD Player. See your electronics
retailer or contact Philips for details
on RF modulator availability and
operations.
Using an accessory RF modulator
1 Use the composite video cable (yellow) to
connect the DVD Player’s CVBS jack to
the video input jack on the RF modulator.
2 Use the RF coaxial cable (not supplied) to
connect the RF modulator to your TV’s
RF jack.

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: Red and white jacks on
the back of the DVD Player that send audio to
another system (TV, 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, or the
higher the recording speed, the better the
sound quality. However, higher bit rates use
more space on a Disc.
Chapter: Sections of a movie 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: Red, blue
and green jacks on the back of the DVD
System that send high-quality video to a TV
that has Component Video In jacks (R/G/B, Y/
Pb/Pr, YUV, etc.).
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.
DCDi™ by Faroudja : Digital Crystal Clear is
a package of picture innovations that digitally
adjusts and optimizes picture quality to optimal

Dolby Digital. The formats were developed by
different companies.
HDMI: HDMI is a direct digital connection
that can carry digital HD video as well as digital
multi-channel audio. By eliminating the
conversion to analog signals, it delivers perfect
picture and sound quality, completely free from
noise. HDMI is fully backward-compatible with
DVI.
JPEG: A very common digital still picture
format. 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. “MP3” is the abbreviation
of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-
1) Audio Layer 3. By using the MP3 format. One
CD-R or CD-RW can contain about 10 times
more data then a regular CD.
Multichannel: DVDs are formatted to have
each sound track constitute one sound field.

for converting analog sound to digital sound for
later processing, with no data compression
used in conversion.
Playback control (PBC): Refers to the
signal recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for
controlling playback. By using menu screens
recorded on a Video CD or SVCD that
supports PBC, you can enjoy interactive
playback and searching.

separate signals for the luminance and the
color. You can use S-Video only if your TV has
an S-Video In jack.
