2.1.1 General Safety
Safety regulations require that during a repair:
•Connect the unit to the mains via an isolation transformer.
•Replace safety components, indicated by the symbol ,
only by components identical to the original ones. Any
othercomponentsubstitution(otherthanoriginaltype) may
increase risk of fire or electrical shock hazard.
Safety regulations require that after a repair, you must return
the unit in its original condition. Pay, in particular, attention to
the following points:
•Route the wires/cables correctly, and fix them with the
mounted cable clamps.
•Check the insulation of the mains lead for external
damage.
•Check the electrical DC resistance between the mains plug
and the secondary side:
1. Unplug the mains cord, and connect a wire between
the two pins of the mains plug.
2. Set the mains switch to the 'on' position (keep the
mains cord unplugged!).
3. Measure the resistance value between the mains plug
and the front panel, controls, and chassis bottom.
4. Repair or correct unit when the resistance
measurement is less than 1 MΩ.
5. Verify this, before you return the unit to the customer/
user (ref. UL-standard no. 1492).
6. Switch the unit ‘off’, and remove the wire between the
two pins of the mains plug.
2.1.2 Laser Safety
This unit employs a laser. Only qualified service personnel may
remove the cover, or attempt to service this device (due to
possible eye injury).

2.2 Warnings
2.2.1 General
•All ICs and many other semiconductors are susceptible to
electrostatic discharges (ESD, "). Careless handling
during repair can reduce life drastically. Make sure that,
during repair, you are at the same potential as the mass of
the set by a wristband with resistance. Keep components
and tools at this same potential.
Available ESD protection equipment:
–Complete kit ESD3 (small tablemat, wristband,
connection box, extension cable and earth cable) 4822
310 10671.
–Wristband tester 4822 344 13999.
•Becarefulduringmeasurements in the livevoltage section.
Theprimary sideof the power supply (pos.1005),including
the heatsink, carries live mains voltage when you connect
the player to the mains (even when the player is 'off'!). It is
possible to touch copper tracks and/or components in this
unshielded primary area, when you service the player.
Service personnel must take precautions to prevent
touching this area or components in this area. A 'lightning
stroke' and a stripe-marked printing on the printed wiring
board, indicate the primary side of the power supply.
•Never replace modules, or components, while the unit is
‘on’.
2.2.2 Laser
•The use of optical instruments with this product, will
increase eye hazard.
•Only qualified service personnel may remove the cover or
attempt to service this device, due to possible eye injury.
•Repair handling should take place as much as possible
with a disc loaded inside the player.
•Text below is placed inside the unit, on the laser cover

Note: – The DTS audio format is only supported on DVD.This product does not support the playback of DTS encoded CDs. Digital video DVD-Video uses state-of-the-art MPEG 2 data compression technology to register an entire movie on a single 5-inch disc. DVD’s variable bitrate compression, running at up to 9.8 Mbits/second, captures even the most complex images in their original quality. The crystal-clear digital images have a horizontal resolution of over 500 lines,with 720 pixels (picture elements) to each line.The resolution is more than double that ofVHS, superior to Laser Disc, and entirely comparable with digital masters made in recording studios. DVD-Video discs conform to either the PAL or NTSC video standard.This dual-standard player can play both types,and presents them in the best possible way on your multi-standardTV screen. As the universal video system of the future,DVD-Video offers optimal images on anyTV screen. DVDVideo You will recognize DVD-Video discs by the logo.Depending on the material on the disc (a movie, video clips,a drama series, etc.), these discs may have one or moreTitles,and eachTitle may have one or more Chapters.To make access easy and convenient,your player lets you move between Titles and between Chapters.

Introduction
Reality reproduced: Super Audio CD The future in digital sound reproduction is no longer limited to a closely simulating of reality.The new audio standard IS reality!The human ear is no longer capable of distinguishing audible reality from digital reproduction.At Philips the future starts today with the Super Audio Compact Disc player.This SuperAudio CD player combines superior sound quality with the possibility of playing almost all existing audio and video formats with a single player.Your precious CD collection retains its value! The Super Audio standard is based on Direct Stream Digital (DSD) technology.This new direct-stream digital format comprises a 1-bit system that has a digital sampling frequency that is 64 times higher than that of conventional audio CD.The results are spectacular:a frequency response of over 50k Hz and a 120dB dynamic range over the entire audible spectrum. Mixed with as many of the original frequencies as possible, the audio information audible for human ears sounds much more natural.All audible frequencies are, after all,embedded in the frequency range as emitted by the sound source.A better reproduction does not exist! For the first time your ears will relive reality. The next standard:hybrid disc The Super Audio CD is the evolution of the CD that provides ultra-high-quality sound.Additional features, including multi-channel,can be offered.On the high density (HD) Super Audio CD you may have access to separate areas,containing two-channel stereo and multi-channel. But that is not all!The hybrid version of the SACD guarantees backward compatibility with the installed base of CD and DVD players. In addition to the HD layer, the hybrid disc contains a standard density CD layer with conventional two-channel stereo CD audio information. The two layers are read from the same side of the disc.The HD layer is read by and DVD laser.The bottom reflective layer with conventional CD sound is read by the CD laser through the second,semi-transmissive HD layer.

SACD: reality in sound...and vision This SACD player will not only surprise you with its superior reproduction of almost all existing audio formats. Connected to yourTV, your SACD player presentsVCD and DVD-video information as perfect digital studio-quality images with truly 3-dimensional digital multi-channel audio. Story sequences can be screened from your own choice of camera angle.You can break down language barriers with sound tracks in as many as eight languages, plus - if available on disc - as many as 16 subtitling languages.Video becomes a new experience.That makes the SACD player an essential component in a state-of-the-art audio-video system. SuperAudio CD You will recognize Super Audio CDs by the logo.There are three types of Super Audio CDs:single-layer, dual-layer and hybrid discs.Each type may contain two areas of recorded information: a High Quality Stereo area and a High Quality Multi-channel area. –The single layer disc may contain both information areas. –The dual layer disc may contain both information areas but a double amount of information can be stored on the disc thanks to the second layer. –The hybrid disc may contain not only both information areas but also a second,standard CD layer,making it playable on standard CD players. Recorded information may vary per area.This is indicated in the disc inlay.Areas can be selected separately before or during playback,while playing Super Audio CDs via the remote control or via the On-Screen Display on yourTV.

Delay times The SACD player is set to reproduce correctly synchronized Digital Surround Sound in a listening area where the surround speakers are about 150cmnearer to the listening position thanthe frontspeakers,and the center speaker is in line with the front speakers.To adjust for other listening area arrangements, adapt delay times according to the following: Digital Surround Measure the distances in centimeters fromthe front speaker plane and fromthe surround speaker plane to the listening positioning plane. Subtract the surround distance fromthe front distance and divide by 30.The resultis the required Surround Channel delay time in milliseconds. If the center speaker is on the front speaker plane,no center speaker delay is needed.If,however,it is nearer to the listening position,measure the distance in centimeters between the front and centerspeaker planes,and divide by 30.The result is the required CenterChannel delay time in milliseconds.
