Optimum disc playability : ensuring

excellent picture quality

Philips components and modules for the various

CD applications have always enjoyed an excellent

reputation in the market place for super disc

playability - the ability to play discs which may be

scratched, soiled or not fully according to the

standard specification.This position has been

underlined by tests showing the superior

performance of the various Philips players, as well

as by the positive experiences of millions of

individual consumers around the world.

Presenting Super Error Correction

To ensure consistently good results when playing

Video CD discs of all quality grades and

conditions, Philips has introduced further

improvements in the system's playability.These

developments together are called Super Error

Correction, a proprietary Philips technology

optimizing the system's ability to handle less-than-

perfect discs with the minimum disturbance to

normal playing.

Constantly improving performance

As the penetration of the CD system has

increased, and new applications like CD-ROM

andVideo CD have become commonplace,

Philips Components - as the CD technology

inventor and as one of the major suppliers of CD

player modules in the industry - has constantly

improved the performance of its products.

One of the ways in which this benefits users is by

optimum disc playability.This is an important

parameter for CD players other than CD Audio,

and especially for theVideo CD applications,

because any loss of data from the disc will at best

cause disturbances in the reproduced picture, and

at worst can cause the player to lose track so that

disc playing fails.

By effectively eliminating virtually all errors arising

under normal playing conditions, Super Error

Correction ensures that the picture quality as

seen by the user is independent of disc play.The

video encoding and processing during mastering

of the disc, and the MPEG-1 decoding and video

encoding in the signal processing stages, are now

the only limiting factors for picture quality.

General Information

Safety Information

IMPORTANT:

PLEASE NOTETHATTHEVOLTAGE

SELECTOR LOCATED ATTHE REAR

OFTHIS SYSTEM IS PRESET AT 220V

FROMTHE FACTORY.

FOR COUNTRIESTHAT OPERATE AT

110-127V, PLEASE ADJUSTTO 110-127V

BEFOREYOU SWITCH ONTHE

SYSTEM.

Before operating the player, check that the

operating voltage indicated on the typeplate (or

the voltage indication beside the voltage

selector) of your player is identical with the

voltage of your local power supply. If not, please

consult your dealer.The typeplate is located at

the rear of your player.

When the player is switched on, do not move it

around.

The type plate (which contains the serial

number) is located at the rear of the player.

Recording is permissible if copyright or

other rights of third parties are not

infringed.

Place the player on a solid base (e.g. a cabinet).

Place the player in a location with adequate

ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in

your player. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches)

clearance from the rear and the top of the unit

and 5 cm (2 inches) from the each side.

Do not expose the player to excessive moisture,

rain, sand or heat sources.

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).

Under no circumstances should you repair the

player yourself, as this will invalidate the

warranty!

If the 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 player. Should this occur, the CD

player will not operate normally. Leave the

power on for about one hour with no disc in the

player until normal playback is possible.

Electrostatic discharge may cause unexpected

problems. See whether these problems

disappear if you unplug the AC power cord and

plug it in again after a few seconds.

Your system consists of materials which can be

recycled and reused if disassembled by a

specialized company. Please observe the local

regulations regarding the disposal of packaging

materials, exhausted batteries and old

equipment.
