Some explanations in this manual describe the DVD Disc Menus, which vary  
among DVDs. DVD Disc Menus allow you to choose different playback fea-  
tures from those available on the DVD. If the DVD has a menu, access it by  
pressing DISC MENU on the remote control. Details are on page 20.

Playable Discs 7  
Playable Discs  
This Player will play Digital Video Discs (DVDs), Video Compact Discs  
(VCDs), Super Video CDs, Audio CDs, and the Audio CD layer of Super  
Audio CDs. This Player also plays MP3 files recorded onto a Compact Disc  
Recordable (CD-R) or a Compact Disc Rewritable (CD-RW).  
Discs having the following logos should play on this Player. DVDs must also  
meet the Region Code and Color System requirements described below.  
DVD  
CD-R  
Recordable  
ReWritable  
Audio CD  
Video CD  
Super Video CD  
CD-RW  
MP3 files  
Super Audio CD (SACD)  
(plays the CD layer only)  
Region Codes  
DVDs must be labeled for ALL regions or for Region 1 in order to play on  
this Player. You cannot play Discs that are labeled for other regions.  
Look for the symbols below on your DVDs. If these region symbols do not  
appear on your DVD, you cannot play the DVD in this Player.  
The number inside the globe refers to a region of the world. Region 1 repre-  
sents the United States of America, Canada, upper regions of North America,  
Bermuda, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and small regions near Australia.  
A Disc encoded in a specific region format can play only on DVD Players that  
have the same region code. So, if a Disc is labeled for Region 2, you cannot  
play that DVD on this Player (because this is a Region 1 Player).  
Color Systems  
Different color systems are available throughout the world. DVD makers  
record DVDs in a certain Color System. The Color System of the DVD may  
appear on the DVD or its case. The most common color systems are NTSC,  
which is used primarily in the United States and North America, PAL, and  
SECAM.  
The Players Color System must be the same as your DVDs and your TV. Set  
the Players Color System to NTSC or PAL by repeatedly pressing VIDEO  
SYS on the remote while playback is stopped. Details are on page 33.  
Cleaning Discs  
G Clean Discs with a cleaning cloth. Wipe from the center to the edge in  
a straight line.  
Helpful Hints  
• If you are having trouble playing  
a certain Disc, remove the Disc  
and try a different one.  
Improperly formatted Discs will  
not play on this Player.  
• This Player supports only the  
first session of multi-session  
Discs.  
G Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially-available  
cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for analog discs.  
G If the Player cannot read Discs correctly, use a commonly available  
cleaning CD/DVD to clean the lens. Other cleaning methods may  
destroy the lens. Always keep the tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.  
G The lens may cloud over if you suddenly move the Player from cold to  
warm surroundings. Playing a Disc is not possible then. Leave the power  
on for about one hour with no Disc in the unit until playback is possible.

8 Hookups  
Determining the best possible connection...  
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  
HHH  
HH  
Component Video provides the best picture quality. Details are on page 11.  
S-Video provides excellent picture quality. Details are on page 10.  
Composite Video (a yellow Video jack) provides good picture quality.  
Details are on page nine.  
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’s materi-  
als at your TV. See your electronics retailer or contact Philips for details on  
RF modulator availability and operations.  
HH  
HHHH  
HHHH  
Digital audio connections provide the clearest sound, but you must have a digital Stereo.  
Connect either the COAXIAL or OPTICAL Digital Audio Out jack of the Player to your  
Stereos Coaxial or Optical Digital Audio In jack for the best sound quality.  
Details are on page 13.  
If you have a Multichannel Receiver, connect the Players FL, FR, SL, SR, CENTER, and  
SUBW. jacks to the corresponding In jacks on the Receiver. (A Multichannel Receiver is  
connected to six speakers: Front Left, Front Right, Surround/Rear Left, Surround/Rear  
Right, Center, and Subwoofer.) Details are on page 14.  
HHH  
HHH  
If you have a Philips Multichannel Receiver, it may have a Multichannel 5.1 Audio In jack. If  
so, connect the Players MULTI-5.1 (Out) jack to the appropriate Multichannel 5.1 Audio  
In jack on the Philips Receiver.  
If digital connections or multichannel connections are not possible, connect the Players  
FL (front left, white) and FR (front right, red) jacks to the left and right Audio In jacks of  
your Stereo or TV. Details are on pages 9-12.  
If your TV has a single Audio In jack instead of separate left/right Audio In jacks, you will  
need a different audio cable than the one supplied. You need a splitteraudio cable to go  
from the FL (front left, white) and FR (front right, red) jacks of the Player to the single  
Audio In jack on your TV. See an electronics retailer or contact Philips for details.  
Before you begin...  
G
Refer to the manuals of your TV, Stereo, Receiver, 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 Players materials on  
the TV, Stereo, etc. Some equipment may let you choose the channels using a remote control or  
by adjusting a TV/VIDEO/AUXILIARY/SOURCE switch.  
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.  
G
Remember...  
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 may have a copy protection system that may distort the picture 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 Players blue background screen on the TV.  
Set the Stereo or Receiver to the correct channel or sourcemode.  
G
G
G
Do not connect any of the Players Audio Out jacks (FL, FR, etc.) to the PHONO IN jack of your  
Stereo.  
G
G
You only need one audio connection and one video connection between the Player and your TV  
and/or Stereo. So, you will not use all the jacks on the Player.  
Set TV TYPE (page 33), VIDEO OUT (page 35), and AUDIO OUT (page 36) accordingly.  
Once you determine the best option, find your choice on pages 9-14. Follow the  
steps for the hookup you choose.

MP3 Playback 31  
MP3 is a compression method that makes digital music files up to 10  
times smaller without losing significant sound quality. MP3 is common on  
the Internet, letting you transfer Tracks to your computer and onto a  
CD Recordable or CD Rewritable disc. Materials and equipment with  
which to make MP3 recordings are not supplied with this Player.  
MP3 Tracks are recorded at a certain bit rate or speed. Slower bit rates  
(32 kbps or 64 kbps) let you record more using less Disc space, but have  
the lowest sound quality. Faster bit rates (256 kbps or 320 kbps) provide  
better sound quality but use a lot of Disc space. The average bit rates (96  
kbps or 128 kbps) provide CD-like quality and are most recommended.  
Keep these characteristics in mind when making Discs that you intend to  
play on this Player.  
This Player supports the following characteristics of MP3 files:  
G File or Track names ending in .mp3  
G Names of Albums, Artists, etc., with a maximum of 30 characters  
G Maximum nested directory of eight levels  
G Sampling frequencies: 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz  
G Bit-rates: 32-256 kbps  
G The first session of multisession discs  
The following characteristics are not supported:  
G File or Track names ending in .wma, .aac, .dlf, .m3u, and .pls  
G Chinese file names  
G Non-session closed discs  
G Discs recorded in UDF format

TV Type (NTSC/PAL) 33  
TV Type (NTSC/PAL)  
DVDs are recorded according to a Color System, the most common of  
which are NTSC and PAL. NTSC is the most common in the United  
States. Your TV also operates according to a Color System.  
This Player is compatible with NTSC and PAL. However, in order for a  
DVD to play on this Player, the Color System of the DVD, the TV, and  
the Player should match. If all three are not the same, the DVD may play  
in only black and white, the picture may roll continuously, or the picture  
may appear distorted.  
The TV TYPE feature allows you to set the Player to match the Color  
Systems of your DVD and your TV.  
The simplest way to change the TV Type or Color System is to press  
VIDEO SYS repeatedly while playback is stopped until MULTI, NTSC,  
or PAL appears on the TV screen.

Make sure you connected the power adaptor properly. Connect the adaptor to the 12V jack on the  
rear of the Player and to an active power outlet. Use only the supplied adaptor.  
Make sure the power outlet has power by trying another appliance in the same outlet.  
No picture  
Make sure the TV power is on.  
Check the video cable(s). Make sure the cable(s) are fastened securely to the Player and to the TV.  
Set your TV to the correct Video In channel. These channels are usually near channel 00. Or, you  
may have a button on the TV remote control that selects an Auxiliary, Video, or A/V IN channel. See  
your TV owners manual for details. Or, just change channels at the TV until you see the DVD logo  
in the blue background screen on the TV.  
You only need one video connection. Refer to page eight to see what connection best suits your sit-  
uation.  
If you used S-Video connections as described on page 10, set VIDEO OUT to (S-) VIDEO. If you  
used Component Video connections as described on page 11, set VIDEO OUT to YCBCR. Details  
are on page 35.  
Distorted picture  
Check the Disc for fingerprints. Clean the Disc with a soft cloth, wiping from the center to the edge  
in a straight line.  
Sometimes a small amount of picture distortion may appear. This is not a malfunction.  
Set TV TYPE correctly. If your TV uses NTSC, set the Player to NTSC. Likewise, the DVDs you play  
must be in NTSC format. Details are on page 33. You can set the Player to NTSC or PAL simply by  
pressing VIDEO SYS repeatedly when playback is stopped.  
The picture is distorted or the picture is only black and white.  
TVs meet NTSC or PAL Color System standards. If the Discs or Players Color System is different  
than your TVs Color System, the picture will be distorted or colorless.  
However, you can change the Color System of the Player by adjusting TV TYPE. Details are on pages  
7 and 33. Choose NTSC, PAL, or MULTI, depending on your TV and your Disc. You can set the  
Player to NTSC or PAL simply by pressing VIDEO SYS repeatedly when playback is stopped.  
The sound is distorted during Disc playback through a Stereo.  
Make sure you did not connect any cables from the Player to the Stereos PHONO INjack.  
Check your AUDIO OUT setting. Details are on page 36.

Check the audio connections. Details are on pages 9-14. Remember, you only need one audio connec-  
tion. Refer to page eight to see what connection best suits your situation.  
Make sure cables are connected firmly to all equipment.

Disc will not play.  
Make sure the Disc label is facing up when you put the Disc in the Player. If you are playing a two-  
sided Disc, make sure the side you want to play is facing up. Details are on page 16.  
Check the Parental Control settings. Select NO_PARENTAL to turn off Parental Control and play all  
Discs. Details are on pages 28-29.  
Check the NTSC/PAL settings of the Disc, your TV, and the Player. Details are on page 33.  
Check the Region Code of the Disc. The Disc must be coded for All regions or Region 1 in order to  
play on this Player. Details are on page seven.  
See if the Disc is defective by trying another Disc. Make sure the Disc is not scratched or warped.  
Carefully clean the Disc. Details are on page seven.  
Use a commonly available cleaning CD/DVD to clean the lens of the Player.  
Discs that are copy-protected or incorrectly coded by the manufacturer may not play on this Player.  
Contact your retailer or the Disc manufacturer to obtain a compatible, playable Disc.  
The Player does not respond to the remote control.  
Aim the remote control directly at the sensor (IR or infrared) on the front of the Player. Details are  
on page 18.  
Remove any obstacles between the Player and the remote control.  
Inspect or replace the batteries in the remote control.  
Stand or sit directly in front of the Player when using the remote. Using the remote at an angle to  
the Player (or from the side of the Player) may not work as efficiently.  
The buttons on the Player or remote control do not work.  
To reset the Player, disconnect the adaptors power plug from the power outlet for several minutes.  
Then reconnect the Player to power again.  
The Player will not select some features, such as Angles, Subtitles, or multi-language  
Audio.  
The feature may not be available on the Disc. If it is not,  
will appear on the TV screen. Check the  
Disc case to see if the Disc has the feature. If the Disc does not have the feature, the Player cannot  
create the feature. This is not a malfunction of the Player.  
Some features can be changed only during playback. Other features can be changed only if playback is  
stopped. Stop or start playback, then try the feature again.  
The Player turns itself off.  
The Player will turn itself off automatically if you do not use the Player or its remote or if a Disc is  
not playing. This is part of the Screen Saver feature. Details are on page 41.

44 Glossary  
Analog: Sound that has not been turned into numbers. Analog sound varies, while digital sound has  
specific numerical values. Analog sound is available when you use the red and white, left and right audio  
jacks on your equipment. These jacks send audio through two channels, the left and right.  
Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold a given length of music; measured in kilobits per seconds,  
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.  
For example, an MP3 music file recorded at 32 kbps will record slowly, use the least Disc space, and  
have the poorest sound quality. But, an MP3 music file recorded at 96 kbps will record quicker, use  
more Disc space, and have significantly better sound quality.  
CD: Compact Disc (audio).  
COAXIAL jack: Sends digital audio to a Stereo, allowing you to adjust the volume at the Stereo.  
The Stereo must have a Coaxial In jack. This connection provides the 5.1 channel surround sound as  
heard in movie theaters.  
Component Video: Use the Pr Pb Y jacks on the rear of the Player to send high-quality video to a  
TV that has Component Video In jacks.  
Digital: Sound that has been converted into numerical values. Digital sound is available when you use  
the COAXIAL or OPTICAL Digital Audio jacks. These jacks send audio through multiple channels,  
instead of just two channels as analog does.  
Direct Stream Digital (DSD): New technology used to record Super Audio CDs. DSD uses a 1-  
bit system with a digital sampling frequency 64 times higher than a regular Audio CD, resulting in a fre-  
quency response of over 50 kHz and a 120 dB dynamic range.  
Dolby Digital: A surround sound system that provides 5.1 channel sound as used in movie theaters.  
DTS: Digital Theater Systems. This is a surround sound system, but it is different from Dolby Digital.  
The formats were developed by different companies.  
DVD: Digital Video Disc.  
Letterbox: A TV aspect ratio setting (4:3). Displays the video in full-width, with black bars at the top  
and bottom of the TV screen. This format is similar to seeing a movie in a theater. If the Disc does not  
include a letterbox format , selecting Letterbox may have no effect. (For example, some DVDs are  
two-sided, with one side playing in Letterbox and the other side playing in a normal format.) DVDs  
may refer to Letterbox as the Widescreen format.  
Multichannel sound: Available when you connect the Player to a six-channel Receiver. The Receiver  
sends sound to six speakers: front left and right, rear or surround left and right, center, and sub-  
woofer.  
OPTICAL Jack: Converts electrical signals into optical signals before sending the audio to the  
Stereo. Optical audio is not prone to external electrical influences and has less noise, which reduces  
adverse effects on external equipment. Be sure to keep the protective cap on the jack when the jack is  
not in use. This keeps dust out of the jack.  
Pan & Scan: A TV aspect ratio setting (4:3). Displays the video with full-height picture, with one or  
both sides of the picture trimmed. Some movie companies refer to this as reformatting the picture to  
fit your TV screen.”  
Super Audio Compact Disc (SACD): There are three types of Super Audio CDs: single-layer,  
dual-layer, and hybrid. Each may contain two areas of recorded audio: High Quality (HQ) Stereo and  
High Quality (HQ) Multi-channel.  
Hybrid SACDs may contain both HQ Stereo and HQ Multi-channel, plus a standard CD layer, making  
it playable on standard CD players. Check the SACD Disc case to determine what type of SACD you  
have. This Player will play only the CD layer (if it is available on the SACD).  
S-Video: Produces a clearer picture by sending separate signals for the luminance and the color. If  
you connect an S-Video cable, you will not need to use the supplied yellow video cable. You can use S-  
Video only if your TV has an S-Video In jack.  
VIDEO Jack: Yellow jack on the rear of the Player that sends video to a TV.  
Widescreen: A TV aspect ratio setting (16:9). Displays the video appropriately when you connect  
the Player to a widescreen TV.
