offers, register your product at
Features
If any item is damaged or missing, contact
your retailer or Philips.
Your DVD MicroTheatre with 5.1 channel full
digital amplifier creates the same dynamic sound
qualities that you find in full-fledged cinemas and
incorporates some of the best features in home
theater technology.
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).
Other features include:
Built-in Dolby Digital decoder, supporting
Incredible Surround and DSC sound setting.
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.
Additional Component Connections
Lets you connect other audio and audio/visual
components to the DVD micro theatre.
Night mode
Lets you compress the dynamic range, reducing
the difference in loudness between different
sounds in Dolby Digital mode.
Installation
● Place the player on a flat, hard, and stable surface.
Parental Control (Rating Level)
Lets you set a ratings level so that your children
cannot watch a DVD that has a rating higher
than you set.
● In a cabinet, allow about 10cm (4 inches) of free
space all around the player for adequate
ventilation.
● Do not expose your player to extreme
temperatures or humidity.

General Information
Maintenance
Hearing Safety
● When a disc becomes dirty,
clean it with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the disc from the center
out, in a straight line.
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.
● Do not expose the player,
batteries or discs to humidity,
rain, sand or excessive heat
(caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight).
Always keep the disc tray closed to avoid dust
on the lens.
●
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.
● Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner,
commercially available cleaners, or anti-static
spray intended for colour discs.
● 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.
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 distortion.
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.
