blank spots on the LCD screen. LCD displays commonly have
imperfections, termed as 'bright dots' by the LCD industry.A limit-
ed 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 guaran-
tee optimal screen quality.

Philips representative for more detailed information.
