Introduction
G If the DVD Player is brought directly from a cold
to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp
room, moisture may condense on the lens of the
disc unit inside the DVD Player. Should this occur,
the DVD Player would not operate normally.
Leave the power on for about one hour with no
disc in the DVD Player until normal playback is
possible.
Thank you for purchasing this Philips DVD Player.
This Owner’s Manual explains the basic
operation of this DVD Player.
Environmental Information
All unnecessary packaging has been omitted.We
have tried to make the packaging easy to
separate into three materials: cardboard (box),
polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags,
protective foam sheet).
G The mechanical parts of the set contain self-
lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or
lubricated.
G When the DVD Player is switched to Standby
mode, it is still consuming some power. To
disconnect the system from the power supply
completely, remove the AC power plug from the
wall socket.
Your DVD Player consists of materials which can
be recycled and reused if disassembled by a
specialised company. Please observe the local
regulations regarding the disposal of packaging
materials, exhausted batteries and old
equipment.
