Important notes for users in the
U.K.
Mains plug
This apparatus is tted 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 Ret the fuse cover.
If the tted plug is not suitable for your socket
outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate
plug tted 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.

Troubleshooting (continued)
Certain DivX files do not play
or are skipped.
The contents of the USB
ash drive cannot be read.
Slow operation of the USB
ash drive.
– Check that the DivX movie download is a complete
le.
– Make sure the le name extension is correct. You can
check this using a computer with CD-ROM.
– The unit is designed to playback DVD, VCD, SVCD,
CD audio, MP3, WMA, WMV and DivX discs only.
Other digital audio formats such as liquid audio, RM
(RealMedia), WAV or non-audio les like ‘.doc’, ‘.txt’,
‘.pdf’ are not supported.
– Try to play the problem DivX files on a computer. If
they do not work, the source file appears to be
corrupted.
– Try to download the file again from a different source,
or if you have created the file yourself, save it with
the correct settings.
– The USB ash drive format is not compatible with the
system.
– Drive is formatted with a different le system which is
not supported by this unit (e.g., NTFS).
– Large le size or high memory USB ash drive takes
longer time to read and display on the TV.

Glossary
Analogue audio: Sound that has not been
turned into numbers. Analogue sound is
available when you use the AUDIO LEFT/
RIGHT sockets. These red and white sockets
send audio through two channels, the left
and right.
Aspect ratio: Aspect ratio refers to the
length to height ratio of TV. The ratio of a
standard TV is 4:3, while the ratio of a high-
de nition or wide TV is 16:9. The letter box
allows you to enjoy a picture with a wider
perspective on a standard 4:3 screen.
AUDIO OUT sockets: Red and white
sockets on the back of this unit 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 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.
Composite video (CVBS): A single video
signal commonly used in most consumer
video products.
Disc Menu: A screen display prepared for
allowing a selection of images, sounds,
subtitles, multi-angles, etc., recorded on a
DVD.
DivX: The DivX code is a patent-pending,
MPEG-4 based video compression
technology, developed by DivX Networks,
Inc., that can shrink digital video to sizes
small enough to be transported over the
internet, while maintaining high visual quality.
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, centre and
subwoofer).
EasyLink: Philips EasyLink uses the HDMI
CEC industry standard protocol to share
functionalities between the unit and its
connected devices. This feature is only
available if you connect this unit to a HDMI
CEC compliant TV with a HDMI cable.
HDMI: High-De nition Multimedia Interface
(HDMI) is a high-speed digital interface that
can transmit uncompressed high de nition
video and digital multichannel audio. It
delivers perfect picture and sound quality,
completely free from noise. HDMI is fully
backward-compatible with DVI.
As required by the HDMI standard,
connecting to HDMI or DVI products
without HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital
Content Protection) result in no Video or
Audio output.
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection) is a speci cation that provides a
secure transmission of digital contents
between different devices (to prevent
unauthorized copyright).
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. Files are recognised by
their le extension ‘JPG or JPEG’.

MP3: A le format with a sound data
compression system. ‘MP3’ is the
abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts
Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer3. By
using the MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW
can contain about 10 times more data than a
regular CD.
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.
PBC: Playback Control. A system of
navigating a Video CD/Super VCD through
on-screen menus recorded onto the disc.
You can enjoy interactive playback and
searching.
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation): A
system for converting analogue sound signal
to digital signal for later processing, with no
data compression used in conversion.
Progressive Scan: The progressive scan
displays twice the number of frames per
second than in an ordinary TV system. It
offers higher picture resolution and quality.
Region code: A system allowing discs to be
played only in the region designated. This
unit will only play discs that have compatible
region codes. You can nd the region code
of your unit by looking at the product label.
Some discs are compatible with more than
one region (or ALL regions).
Glossary (continued)
Title: The longest section of a movie or
music feature on DVD. Each title is assigned
a title number, enabling you to locate the
title you want.
TV OUT socket: Socket on the back of
this unit that sends out video signals to the
TV.
WMA: Windows Media™ Audio. Refers to
an audio compression technology developed
by Microsoft Corporation. WMA data can be
encoded by using Windows Media Player
version 9 or Windows Media Player for
Windows XP. Files are recognised by their
le extension ‘WMA’.
WMV: A video le or stream in Windows
Media format. It is a compression format of
motion picture based on MPEG-4 developed
by Microsoft.
