Important notes for users in the

U.K.

Mains plug

This apparatus is fitted 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 Refit the fuse cover.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket

outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate

plug fitted 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.

Recording and playback of material may

require consent. See Copyright Act 1956 and

The Performer’s Protection Acts 1958 to 1972.

Advarsel: Usynlig laserstråling ved åbning

når sikkerhedsafbrydere er ude af funktion.

Undgå utsættelse for stråling.

Bemærk: Netafbryderen er sekundært

indkoblet og ofbryder ikke strømmen fra

nettet. Den indbyggede netdel er derfor

tilsluttet til lysnettet så længe netstikket

sidder i stikkontakten.

Klass 1 laseraparat

Varning! Om apparaten används på annat

sätt än i denna bruksanvisning specificerats,

kan användaren utsättas för osynlig

laserstrålning, som överskrider gränsen för

laserklass 1.

Observera! Stömbrytaren är sekundärt

kopplad och bryter inte strömmen från

nätet. Den inbyggda nätdelen är därför

ansluten till elnätet så länge stickproppen

sitter i vägguttaget.

Luokan 1 laserlaite

Varoitus! Laitteen käyttäminen muulla kuin

tässä käyttöohjeessa mainitulla tavalla

saattaa altistaa käyttäjän

turvallisuusluokan 1 ylittävälle

näkymättömälle lasersäteilylle.

Oikeus muutoksiin varataan. Laite ei saa

olla alttiina tippu-ja roiskevedelle.

Huom. Toiminnanvalitsin on kytketty

toisiopuolelle, eikä se kytke laitetta irti

sähköverkosta. Sisäänrakennettu verkko-

osa on kytkettynä sähköverkkoon aina

silloin, kun pistoke on pistorasiassa.

Due to the inconsistency of disc formats provided

by various disc manufacturers, your DVD system/

player/recorder may require a playability

enhancement or upgrade. As DVD technology

advances, these enhancement will become

common and will be easy to complete.

Go to www. p4c.philips.com for software upgarde.

En raison de la diversité des formats utilisés par les

fabricants, votre système DVD peut nécessiter

l'ajout de périphériques ou une mise à niveau

logicielle. Au fur et à mesure des progrès de la

technologie DVD, ces périphériques se font de plus

en plus courants et aisés à intégrer. Pour

télécharger la mise à niveau logicielle, visitez le site

www.p4c.philips.com.

Debido a los diferentes formatos de discos

disponibles en el mercado, es posible que deba

realizar mejoras o actualizaciones en el sistema de

DVD relativas a las funciones de reproducción.

Conforme la tecnología DVD avanza, estas mejoras

estarán al alcance de todo tipo de usuarios y se

podrán llevar a cabo fácilmente. Visite la página

“www.p4c. philips.com” para buscar información

sobre actualizaciones de software.

Da das Disk-Format je nach Hersteller verschieden

ist, ist für Ihr DVD-System möglicherweise die

Erweiterung der Spielbarkeit oder eine

Aktualisierung erforderlich. Da die

DVD-Technologie sich ständig weiterentwickelt,

werden sich diese Erweiterungen durchsetzen und

einfach auszuführen sein. Gehen Sie zu für Ihre

Software-Aktualisierung zu „www.p4c. philips.com“.

Doordat fabrikanten verschillende schijfindelingen

aanbieden, moet uw dvd-systeem mogelijk worden

geüpgradet of uitgebreid. Naarmate de

dvd-technologie zich verder ontwikkelt, zullen

deze uitbreidingen normaal worden en zult u ze

gemakkelijk kunnen uitvoeren. Ga naar

"www.p4c. philips.com" om uw software te

upgraden.

A causa della differenza di formato tra i dischi

forniti dai vari produttori, il sistema DVD potrebbe

richiedere un potenziamento o aggiornamento

della riproducibilità. Col progredire della tecnologia

DVD, questi potenziamenti diverranno comuni e

facili da implementare. Visitare

“www.p4c. philips.com” per scaricare gli

aggiornamenti del software.

(front and rear only) on the wall. Attach

the supplied bracket firmly to the rear of

speakers using the supplied screws. Then

mount a screw (not supplied) on the wall

where the speaker is to be hung and

hook the speaker securely onto the

mounted screw.

CAUTION!

You should get a qualified person to

attach the brackets to the wall. DO

NOT do it by yourself to avoid

unexpected damage to the

equipment or injury to personnel.

Step 1: Assemble the

speakers

to the TV.

– Scart (RGB) Video provides better

picture quality than S-Video and

Composite Video. These options

must be available on your TV.

Helpful Hint:

– To hear the TV channels through this DVD

system, use the audio cables (white/red - not

supplied) to connect AUX IN jacks to the

corresponding AUDIO OUT jacks on the TV

(not required if you are using Scart

connection).

Step 3: Connecting TV

(Y Pb Pr)

1 Use the component video cables (red/

blue/green - not supplied) to connect the

DVD system’s Y Pb Pr jacks to the

corresponding component video input

jacks (or labelled as Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr or

YUV) on the TV.

2 Change the component video setting

For best possible surround sound, all the

speakers (except AV subwoofer) should

be placed at the same distance from the

listening position.

1 Place the front left and right speakers at

equal distances from the TV and at an

angle of approximately 45 degrees from

the listening position.

2 Place the centre speaker above the TV so

that the centre channel’s sound is

localised.

3 Place the rear speakers at normal

listening ear level facing each other or

hang on the wall.

4 Place the AV subwoofer on the floor near

the TV.

Helpful Hints:

– To avoid magnetic interference, do not

position the front speakers too close to your

TV.

– Allow adequate ventilation around the

DVD system/AV subwoofer.
