Introduction 5

Welcome to your TV/VCR/DVD owner???s manual.

To enjoy this product, read this owner???s manual to learn about all the features listed below.

Features - TV/VCR

Features - Discs

DVD Disc Menus...

Some explanations in this manual describe DVD Disc menus. DVD manufacturers set the menus, which vary among DVDs. All DVDs do not have menus. If the DVD has a menu, access it by pressing the DISC MENU button on the remote control.

Details are on page 51.

Setup Menus...

Some instructions explain how to use the setup menus of the TV/VCR/DVD. There are two setup menus: one for the TV/VCR features while the unit is in TV/VCR mode, and one for the Disc features while the unit is in DVD mode. Access the setup menus by pressing SETUP on the remote control.

While in TV/VCR mode, you can select only the TV/VCR SETUP menu.

In DVD mode, you can select both the TV/VCR SETUP menu and the SETUP menu for the unit???s DVD Player. Press the SETUP button once to select the TV/VCR SETUP menu. Press SETUP twice to get to the DVD Player???s SETUP menu.

Even if you set a DVD feature in the unit???s SETUP menu, it will not be available if the current Disc does not include that feature.

Available Disc Features...

All features described in this manual are not available on every Disc. If the feature is not available on the Disc, you cannot use the TV/VCR/DVD to make it available.

An ???X??? will appear in the top right corner of the screen if you try to access a feature that is not available.

For example, some features are available only during play, while others are available only if play is stopped. If you cannot access a feature, try stopping or starting play, then try the feature again.

6 Playable Discs and Videotapes

Playable Discs

The DVD Player of this TV/VCR/DVD will play many types of Discs, including Digital Video Discs (DVDs) and Audio Compact Discs (CDs). It will play MP3 and JPEG files as well.

To play a DVD, make sure it meets the requirements for Region Codes and Color Systems as described below. Discs that have the following logos will play on the DVD Player of this TV/VCR/DVD. Finalize CD-R, CD-RW, DVD+R, and DVD+RW Discs before playing them in the TV/VCR/DVD.

Region Codes

This TV/VCR/DVD has a Region One (1) DVD Player. DVDs must be labeled for ALL regions or for Region 1 in order to play on the unit. You cannot play DVDs that are labeled for other regions. Look for the symbols below on your DVDs. If these region symbols do not appear on your DVD, you cannot play the DVD in this TV/VCR/DVD.

The number inside the globe refers to a region of the world. Region 1 represents the United States, Canada, upper regions of North America, Bermuda, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and small regions near Australia.

A DVD labelled for a specific region can only play on DVD Players with the same region code.

Color Systems

DVDs are recorded in different color systems throughout the world. The most com- mon color systems are NTSC (which is used primarily in the United States and North America), PAL, and SECAM.

The DVD Player of this unit uses NTSC, so DVDs you play must be recorded in the NTSC color system. You cannot play DVDs recorded in other formats. The color system of the DVD may be listed on the DVD or on the Disc case.

Videotapes

Philips recommends you use only videotapes that have the mark. Other video- tapes may have poor picture quality and cause excessive deposits on the video heads. The warranty may not cover such damage.

The VCR of this TV/VCR/DVD has a High Quality (HQ) system and is compatible with existing Video Home System (VHS) equipment.

Before Using the TV/VCR/DVD 7

Remote Control Battery Installation

Battery Safety

Battery Usage CAUTION - To prevent battery leakage that may result in bodily injury, property damage, or damage to the unit:

???Install ALL batteries correctly, with the + and - markings on the battery aligned as indicated on the unit;

???Do not mix batteries, for example, old with new or carbon with alkaline; and

???Remove batteries when the unit will not be used for a long time.

Recording Prevention

Videotapes have record tabs to ensure you do not erase recordings accidentally.

1 To prevent accidental recording, break off the tab with a screwdriver.

2 To record again, cover the hole with cello- phane tape.

Using the Remote Control

???Point the remote control at the remote sensor on the front of the TV/VCR/DVD. Details are on page 16.

???Do not put objects between the remote control and the TV/VCR/DVD.

TV/VCR/DVD Maintenance

???Remove any light adhesive stick-on notes from the video cassette before putting the cassette in the TV/VCR/DVD. Removable labels can jam the TV/VCR/DVD.

???The TV/VCR/DVD requires periodic maintenance to main- tain its excellent performance. This TV/VCR/DVD has an internal head cleaning system. However, the video heads will eventually require cleaning or replacement. Only an authorized service center should perform this service.

Follow the steps below to select closed captions for TV pro- gramming. Not all TV programs and commercials have closed captions or all types of closed captions (second language, half-screen text, etc.). If closed captioning is not broadcast, you cannot receive it. This does not indicate a problem with the TV/VCR/DVD. Check your TV program listings for shows with closed captions.

If the TV/VCR/DVD receives poor quality television signals, the captions may contain errors, or there might be no cap- tions at all. Some possible causes of poor quality signals are:

???Automobile ignition noise

???Electric motor noise

???Weak signal reception

???Multiplex signal reception (ghosts or screen flutter)

???Playing poorly recorded or worn videotapes.

TV Rating Settings

V-CHIP enables parents to prevent their children from watching inappropriate material on TV. V-CHIP reads the ratings for programming (except for news and sports pro- grams, unedited movies on premium cable channels, and Emergency Broadcast System signals), then denies access to programming if the program???s rating meets the limitations you select. In this case, a ???PROTECTED PROGRAM by ...??? message appears on the TV screen.

If the ???PROTECTED...??? message appears during your TV viewing, change to a channel that is not blocked. Then, you can access the V-CHIP SETUP menu and change the settings to allow all TV viewing.

Programming may be rated by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) or according to the Television Parental Guidelines. To block any inappropriate programming, set your limits in both MPAA RATING and

TV RATING.
