Philips DVD Video Introduction
Your Philips DVD Video Player will play digital video discs
conforming to the universal DVD Video standard. With it,
you will be able to enjoy full-length movies with true
cinema picture quality, as well as stereo or multi-channel
sound (depending on the disc and your playback setup).
The unique features of DVD Video, such as selection of
sound track, subtitle languages and different camera angles
(again, depending on the disc), are all included.
In addition to DVD Video discs, you will be able to play all
Video CDs and Audio CDs (including finalized CD
Recordable (CD-R) and CD Rewritable (CD-RW)).

Safety Information
¶ Do not expose the system to excessive moisture, rain, sand,
or heat sources.
¶ Place the player on a firm, flat surface.
¶ Keep the player away from domestic heating equipment
and direct sunlight.
¶ In a cabinet, allow about 2.5 cm (1 inch) of free space all
around the player for adequate ventilation.
¶ If the DVD Player cannot read CDs/DVDs correctly, use a
commonly available cleaning CD/DVD to clean the lens
before taking the DVD Player to be repaired. Other
cleaning methods may destroy the lens. Always keep the
tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.
¶ The lens may cloud over when the DVD Player is suddenly
moved from cold to warm surroundings. Playing a CD/DVD is
not possible then. Leave the power on for about one hour with
no disc in the unit until normal playback is possible.
Cleaning Discs
¶ When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the disc from the center out.
¶ Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially
available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for analog
discs.
