2 Introduction
2.1 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 depend-
ing 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.

monly available cleaning CD/DVD to clean the lens before taking

on the LCD screen. LCD displays commonly have imperfections,
termed as 'bright dots' by the LCD industry.A limited number of
bright dots were once considered an inevitable side effect of LCD
mass production.With Philips' strict quality control procedures
used in our Portable DVD Players, our LCD displays are produced
with zero tolerance for bright dots. Select Portable DVD Players
come with Philips Zero Bright DotTM Policy to guarantee optimal
screen quality.Warranty service varies from region to region. Contact
your local Philips representative for more detailed information.
