General Information  
Anti-copy disc protection  
DVD discs  
Some DVD discs have anti-copying devices. When playing  
these discs through a television will give the highest quality  
picture. However, you will not be able to record the disc  
through aVCR.  
Your Philips DVD Receiver player will play digital video discs  
conforming to the universal DVDVideo standard. In  
addition to DVDVideo discs, you will be able to play audio  
CDs.  
Closed Captions  
This Receiver is compatible with USA closed captionTVs.  
Environmental Information  
DVDVideo discs have “Titles” and “Chapters”. There can  
be severalTitles on one disc and eachTitle can contain  
several Chapters. Titles and Chapters are numbered (e.g.  
Title 1,Title 2, etc., and Chapter 1, 2, 3, etc.).  
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).  
Usually oneTitle will show the disc publisher and studio  
logos. Under anotherTitle is the featue film itself. Other  
Titles can contain trailers for other films also available, or  
introduction notes from the film, or alternative endings for  
the film. There are many possibilities with DigitalVersatile  
Discs.  
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.  
Installation  
G Place the player on a flat, hard and stable surface.  
G There must be sufficient room in front of the player for the  
drawer to open.  
G In a cabinet, allow about 10cm (4 inch) of free space all  
around the player for adequate ventilation.  
G Do not expose your player to extreme temperatures or  
humidity.  
Chapters within the mainTitle allow you to search quickly  
for a specific point on the disc. Many discs have a “Chapter  
Menu”, sometimes called “Scene Index” or “Scene Menu”,  
that displays the first shot from each Chapter and allows  
you to select a shot and play the disc from that point  
forward. DVD discs can be PAL or NTSC. This player can  
play both types (as long as the zone is correct formatted).  
DVD discs allow up to 8 languages and 32 subtitles on a  
single disc. You can select and change the language and  
subtitle to suit yourself. You can play the whole disc or just  
part of it and view it from different angles. However,  
availability of these features varies among discs. Check the  
disc menu or outer case to see if such features (for  
example, subtitles, angles) are available on the disc.  
Cleaning Discs  
G When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth.  
Wipe the disc from the center out, in a straight line.  
G Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially  
available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for analog  
discs.

Recording from the digital output  
The digital output can be used to record digitally a  
multichannel surround sound audio signal (Dolby Digital  
or DTS) to a CD-R. To convert the digital multichannel  
signal into a stereo signal, following settings have to be  
activated in the Disc Setup Menu :  
– InAudio Set”, set to 2 audio channel (see page 24)  
– InDigital Out”, set to PCM (see page 25)  
Note:  
Digital recording is not possible when the digital source  
material is copy-protected.

CONNECTIONS  
System Setup  
Positioning the center speaker  
Setting up the Digital  
Cinema system  
The center speaker should be placed in the center between  
both front speakers and should always be placed in line  
with the television (e.g. underneath or on top of theTV).  
The best height for the center speaker is the height of the  
listener’s ears (while seated).  
You must connect all the speakers and set up the system  
properly in order to enjoy the Digital Cinema experience  
at home.You will have the feeling of being in the middle of  
the action, because sound is coming from everywhere  
around you. The subwoofer can enhance the bass

The surround speakers should face each other and be  
placed at normal listening ear level or mounted on the wall  
at the back of the room.  
with the  
marks which indicates the material is  
encoded for surround sound.  
The availability of the various surround sound modes  
depends on the number of speakers used and the incoming  
sound information available on the disc.  
Positioning the Subwoofer  
Place the subwoofer on a solid floor where resonance is  
unlikely to occur. The subwoofer can be positioned  
anywhere in the room because it is not possible to locate  
the source of deep tones. Nevertheless, you should not  
place it in the center of a room, the bass could be  
extremely weakened. Do not place an object on the  
subwoofer.  
Speakers Placement  
General hints for positioning  
G Avoid positioning the speakers in a corner or on the floor  
as this will boost the bass tones too much. Placing the  
speakers behind curtains, furniture, etc., will reduce the  
treble response.  
Note:  
To avoid magnetic interference with the picture on yourTV,  
do not position the front speakers too close to theTV.  
G The speakers should be visible from the listening area.  
G For the best surround effects, install all speakers. If a center  
speaker or subwoofer is not connected, the sound from the  
unused channel will be distributed to the connected  
speakers in order to reproduce the best possible surround  
sound.  
G Each room has different acoustic characteristics and the  
positioning possibilities often are limited. You can find the  
best position for your speakers by experimenting or  
referring to the picture below.  
Speakers Setup  
Before operating your system inTV,VCR or CDR mode,  
you will need to set up the speaker configuration and the  
distance from the listening position to each speaker. For  
speaker setup in DVD mode, refer to “DVD/CD operation  
- Audio Set”.  
Note:  
It is only necessary to set the parameters once unless you  
change the speaker configuration.  
Setting the speaker size  
1 Press SYSTEM MENU to enter System Setup mode.  
2 Press £ to select Speaker Setup.  
3 Press £ to select Speaker Size Setup mode.  
Positioning the front speakers  
The front speakers should be placed to the right and left at  
an angle of approximately 45 degrees from the listening  
position.

polarity at either 0˚ or 180˚ may determine better bass  
reproduction effect in certain listening environments  
(depending on the type of front speakers and the position  
of the subwoofer). It also may change the expanse and  
tightness of the sound, and affect the feeling of the sound  
field. Select the setting that provides the sound you prefer
