General Information/Maintenance

Environmental information

Any 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).

Your system 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.

Care and safety information

Avoid high temperatures, moisture,

water and dust

● Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to

humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by

heating equipment or direct sunlight). Always

keep disc trays closed to avoid dust buildup on

the lens.

● No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall

be placed on the apparatus.

● No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,

should be placed on the apparatus.

Avoid condensation problem

● The lens may cloud over when the player is

suddenly moved from cold to warm

surroundings, making it impossible to play a disc.

Leave the player in the warm environment until

the moisture evaporates.

Do not block the vents

● Do not operate the system in an enclosed

cabinet and allow about 10 cm (4 inches) of free

space all around the player for adequate

ventilation.

10 cm

(4 inches)

DVD Micro Hi-Fi System

● The ventilation should not be impeded by

covering the ventilation openings with items, such

as newspapers table-cloths, curtains, etc.

Cleaning the cabinet

● Use soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild

detergent solution. Do not use a solution

containing alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasives.

Cleaning discs

● To clean a CD, wipe it in a

straight line from the center

towards the edge using soft and

lint-free cloth. A cleaning agent

may damage the disc.

● Write only on the printed side

of a CDR(W) and only with a

soft felt-tipped pen.

● Handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the

surface.

Cleaning the disc lens

● After prolonged use, dirt or dust may accumulate

at the disc lens. To ensure good playback quality,

clean the disc lens with Philips CD Lens Cleaner

or any commercially available cleaner. Follow the

instructions supplied with cleaner.

Finding a suitable location

● Place the player on a flat, hard, stable surface.

Cleaning the head and the tape paths

● To ensure good recording and playback quality,

clean the head A, the capstan(s) B, and

pressure roller(s) C after every 50 hours of tape

operation.

● Use a cotton swab slightly moistened with

cleaning fluid or alcohol.

● You also can clean the head by playing a cleaning

tape once.

CBABC

Demagnetising the head

● Use a demagnetising tape available at your dealer.

VIEWING AREA

Place the front left and right speakers at equal

distances from the TV set and at an angle of

approximately 45 degrees from the listening

position.

Notes:

–To avoid magnetic interference, do not position

the front speakers too close to your TV set.

– Allow adequate ventilation around the DVD

System.

To avoid overheating of the system, a safety

circuit has been built in. Therefore, your

system may switch to Standby mode

automatically under extreme conditions. If

this happens, let the system cool down

before reusing it (not available for all versions).

B Antennas Connection

Connect the supplied MW loop antenna and FM

antenna to the respective terminals. Adjust the

position of the antenna for optimal reception.

MW Antenna
