Remember...

Connect the Player directly to the TV. For example, do not connect the Player to a VCR, then con-  
nect 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 Players screen saver on the TV screen.  
Set the Stereo to the correct channel or sourcemode.

Do not connect the DVD Players 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.

36 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. TV TYPE

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 audio jacks on your equipment.  
These jacks send audio through two channels, the left and right.  
AUDIO OUT Jacks: Jacks on the rear of the Player that send audio to another system (TV, Stereo, etc.).  
CD: Compact Disc.  
Chapter: A part of a Title.  
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.  
Color system: There are various systems for transmitting television signals, for example PAL, SECAM, and  
NTSC. NTSC is the most common color system in the United States of America.  
Component Video Y Pb Pr Jacks: Green, blue, and red jacks on the rear of the Player that 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  
Players COAXIAL jack, which sends audio through multiple channels instead of two channels as analog does.  
Dolby Digital: A surround sound system that provides 5.1 channel sound as used in movie theaters.  
DVD: Digital Video Disc.  
Letterbox: Widescreen format; 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 4:3 letterbox may have no effect. (For example, some DVDs  
are two-sided, with one side playing in widescreen format and the other side playing in a normal format.)  
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 to fit on your TV screen. Some movie companies refer to this as reformatting  
the picture to fit your TV screen.”  
PBC: Playback Control. A special feature on some Video CDs/Super Video CDs that enables interactive use.  
PCM: Pulse Code Modulation. A digital audio encoding system.  
RGB: Red-Green-Blue. A top-quality video connection where red, green, and blue components of the pic-  
ture are carried through separate wires. This also is referred to as the component video connection.  
S-Video: Produces a clearer picture by sending separate signals for the luminance and the color.  
Title: A unit of recording on a DVD.  
VCD: Video Compact Disc.  
VIDEO OUT Jack: Jack on the rear of the Player that sends video (picture) to a TV.
