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.

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

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.
● The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping
or splashing.
● When the system 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.
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.

General Information/Maintenance
Finding a suitable location
● Place the player on a flat, hard, stable surface.
● Install this unit near the AC outlet and where the
AC power plug can be reached easily.
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.
Hearing Safety
Listen at a moderate volume.
● Using headphones at a high volume can impair
your hearing. This product can produce sounds
in decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss for
a normal person, even for exposure less than a
minute. The higher decibel ranges are offered
for those that may have already experienced
some hearing loss.
● Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing
"comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of
sound. So after prolonged listening, what sounds
"normal" can actually be loud and harmful to
your hearing. To guard against this, set your
volume to a safe level before your hearing
adapts and leave it there.
To establish a safe volume level:
● Set your volume control at a low setting.
● Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfortably and clearly, without distor tion.
Listen for reasonable periods of
time:
● Prolonged exposure to sound, even at normally
"safe" levels, can also cause hearing loss.
● Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and
take appropriate breaks.
Be sure to observe the following
guidelines when using your
headphones.
● Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable
periods of time.
● Be careful not to adjust the volume as your
hearing adapts.
● Do not turn up the volume so high that you
can't hear what's around you.
● You should use caution or temporarily
discontinue use in potentially hazardous
situations.
● Do not use headphones while operating a
motorized vehicle, cycling, skateboarding, etc.; it
may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many
areas.

–Never make or change any
connections with the power switched on.
– High voltage! Do not open.You run the
risk of getting an electric shock.
– The machine does not contain any user-
serviceable parts.
– Modification of the product could result
in hazardous radiation of EMC or other
unsafe operation.

"L", coloured (marked) wire to "+" and black
(unmarked) wire to "-". Fully insert the stripped
portion of the speaker wire into the terminal as
shown.
Notes:
– Ensure that the speaker cables are correctly
connected. Improper connections may damage the
system due to short-circuit.
–For optimal sound performance, use the
supplied speakers.
– Do not connect more than one speaker to any
one pair of +/- speaker terminals.
– Do not connect speakers with an impedance
lower than the speakers supplied. Please refer to
the SPECIFICATIONS section of this manual.
Step 3: Antenna connection

Using S-Video In jack
1 Use the S-Video cable (not supplied) to connect
the system's S-VIDEO jack to the S-Video
input jack (or labelled as Y/C or S-VHS) on the
TV set.
2 To hear the sound of this DVD Player through
your TV, use the audio cables (white/red-not
supplied) to connect LINE OUT (L/R) jacks of
the DVD Player to the corresponding AUDIO
IN jacks on the TV.
Using an accessory RF modulator
IMPORTANT!
– If your TV set only has a single
Antenna In jack (or labelled as 75 ohm or
RF In), you will need a RF modulator in
order to view the DVD playback via TV.
See your electronics retailer or contact
Philips for details on RF modulator
availability and operations.
1 Use the composite cable (yellow) to connect the
system's VIDEO jack to the video input jack on
the RF modulator.
2 Use an RF coaxial cable (not supplied) to
