INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Your portable DVD player
Your portable DVD player plays digital video discs conforming to the universal
DVD Video standard. With it, you will be able to enjoy full-length movies with
true cinema picture quality, and stereo or multichannel sound (depending on the
disc and on your playback set-up).
The unique features of DVD-Video, such as selection of soundtrack and subtitle
languages, and of different camera angles (again depending on the disc), are all
included.
What’s more, parental lock lets you decide which discs your children will be able
to see. You will find your player remarkably easy to use with the On-Screen
Display and player display in combination with the remote control.

cleaning CD/DVD to clean the lens before taking the player to be repaired.
Other cleaning methods may destroy the lens.
• Always keep the disc door closed to avoid dust on the lens.

surroundings. It is then not possible to play a CD/DVD. Leave the player in a
warm environment until the moisture evaporates.
About Built-in Rechargeable Battery
Precautions related to battery recharge
1
Once the battery is fully discharged, immediately recharge it (regardless of
whether you plan to use the battery or not) in order to maximize the battery
life. When the power is low, the battery icon will be shown on the upper-
right corner of the TFT for warning.
To charge the battery, please directly connect this DVD player to AC mains
and the charge indicator will turn on.
2
Using and maintaining your rechargeable batteries
1
Please make sure you always use only the AC adapter included with the
player to recharge your batteries.
Recharge efficiency will degrade when the environmental temperature drops
below 50oF (10oC) or exceed 95oF (35oC).
The lasting time of the fully charged battery when a headphone is connected
to the DVD player is approximately 2 hours.

INTRODUCTION
GENERAL INFORMATION
Video CD
Depending on the material on the disc (a movie, video clips, a drama
series, etc.) these discs may have one or more Tracks, and tracks
may have one or more indexes, as indicated on the disc case.To make access
easy and convenient, your player lets you move between tracks
and between indexes.
Audio CD / MP3 CD
Audio CDs / MP3-CD contain music tracks only. You can play
them in the conventional way through a stereo system using the
keys on the remote control and/or main unit, or via the TV using the On Screen

About SD Memory Card
SD Memory Card is a slim and compact bridge media linking
various kinds of digital equipment through its easy connectivity. The card's con-
trol circuitry allows data to be read and written (in its protection area) only when
appropriate external devices are detected. Using decoder software, an SD
Memory Card-compatible device can play music, video clips and more without a
drive mechanism like those in CD and DVD players.

Power Sources
This unit operates on a supplied AC adapter and car adapter.
• Make sure that the input voltage of the AC adaptor is in line with the local
voltage. Otherwise, the AC adaptor and unit may be damaged.
• Do not touch the AC adaptor with wet hands to prevent electric shock.
• When connecting with car power (cigarette lighter) adaptor, be sure the
input voltage of the adaptor is identical with car voltage.
• Unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet when the unit is not used for long peri-
ods of time.
• Hold the plug to disconnect the AC adaptor. Do not pull the power cord.

• Take care not to drop the unit or subject it to strong shocks, which may
cause malfunction.
• Important (for models with by-packed headphones): Schneider guarantees com-
pliance with the maximum sound power of its audio players as
determined by relevant regulatory bodies only with the original model of pro-
vided headphones. In case this one needs replacement, we recommend that
you contact your retailer to order a model identical to that of the original pro-
vided by Philips.

GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
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, with-
out 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 head-
phones:
• 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.
Handling discs
• Do not attach paper or tape to the disc.
• Keep the disc away from direct sunlight or heat
sources.
• Store the disc in a disc case after playback.
• To clean, wipe the disc outwards from the center
with a soft, lint-free clean cloth.
On handling the LCD screen
The LCD is manufactured using high precision technology. You may, however, see
tiny black points and/or bright points(red,blue,green) that continuously appear on
the LCD. This is a normal result of the manufacturing process and does not indi-
cate a malfunction.
Environmental information
We have reduced the packaging to its minimum and made it easy to separate
into mono materials: cardboard, PS, PE and PET.
Your set consists of material which can be recycled if disassembled by a special-
ized company. Please observe the local regulations to dispose of packaging,
exhausted batteries and old equipment.
