Cinema Center Speaker Recreate and experience realism cinematic experience right in your environment with Cinema Center Speaker. With a wider sweet spot delivered by four multi-directional woofers and a high frequency tweeter positioned precisely at different angles, more sound depths are distinguished from front and background and action from dialogue. Natural and crystal clear sound reproduction are created through the revolutionary new 2" full range woofers to give an incredible 'through the screen' experience which creates the sensation of being not just in the cinema but in the movie itself. 6x Class D Digital Amplifier When it comes to perfect audio there is no room for distortion. Digital amplifiers generate far less heat than standard analog amplifiers, allowing for smaller set enclosures. Philips Class D Amplifiers provide dramatically enhanced sound quality over digital amplifiers used by competitors as they are designed to control and reduce EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference). In addition, the Class D Amplifiers use a closed loop design which suppresses distortion and loss of audio quality. The overall result is enhanced audio performance from a much smaller package. DTS, Dolby Digital 5.1 and PL2 A Built-in DTS and Dolby Digital decoder eliminates the need for an external decoder by processing all six channels of audio imformation to provide a surround sound experience and an astoundingly natural sense of ambience and dynamic realism. Dolby Pro Logic II provides five channels of surround processing from any stereo source. Multi-format Movies Multi-format playability allows you to play most disc formats for maximum disc compatibility and viewing pleasure. Multi-format Music Multi-format playability allows you to play most disc formats for maximum disc compatibility and listening pleasure. PCMCIA Media Slot Media Slot is a simple card solution, giving you instant access to digital pictures from various memory card formats like Compact Flash, Memory Stick, SD card and MultiMedia Card via a PCMCIA adaptor. Seating Control Achieve best sound performance with Seating Control by choosing your preferred seat via the Joystick Remote Control. Select your room layout and 3D speakers setup with ease and get set for a real total sound immersion experience. Quick Start Guide To guide you through the initial set-up of your system, Philips delivers a Quick Start Guide that uses an easy approach with clearly defined graphics and colors to guide you through the basic steps of connection and obtaining picture and sound. These basic steps are clearly described on one page in the packaging box, making setup quick and simple.

Troubleshooting

WARNING Under no circumstances should you try to repair the system yourself, as this will invalidate the warranty. Do not open the system as there is a risk of electric shock. If a fault occurs, first check the points listed below before taking the system for repair. If you are unable to remedy a problem by following these hints, consult your dealer or Philips for help.

If both S-Video and Scart Video connections are used to connect to your TV, the video signal will go to S-Video automatically every time when you power up the DVD system. To change the setting, refer to Video Output. Sometimes a small amount of picture distortion may appear. This is not a malfunction. Clean the disc. TVs have a colour system standard. If the discs or DVD systems colour system is different than your TVs colour system, the picture may be distorted or colourless. Set to the correct TV System setting. The aspect ratio is fixed on the DVD disc. Depending on the TV, it may not be possible to change the aspect ratio. Adjust the volume. Replace the speaker cables. Check the speaker connections and settings. Disconnect the headphones. Press PLAY to resume normal play mode if necessary.

Glossary

Analogue: Sound that has not been turned into numbers. Analogue sound varies, while digital sound has specific numerical values. These jacks send audio through two channels, the left and right. Aspect ratio: The ratio of vertical and horizontal sizes of a displayed image. The horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional TVs. is 4:3, and that of wide-screens is 16:9. AUDIO OUT Jacks: Jacks on the back of the DVD System that send audio to another system (TV, Stereo, etc.). Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold a given length of music; measured in kilobits per seconds, or kbps. Or, the speed at which you record. Generally, the higher the bit rate, or the higher the recording speed, the better the sound quality. However, higher bit rates use more space on a Disc. Chapter: Sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of several chapters. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number enabling you to locate the chapter you want. Clear voice: It enables the digital sound processor to extract the voice dynamics in movie dialog on all 5 surround channels without compromising on the location accuracy and the width of the surround sound. Component Video Out Jacks: Jacks on the back of the DVD System that send high-quality video to a TV that has Component Video In jacks (R/G/B, Y/Pb/Pr, etc.). Disc menu: A screen display prepared for allowing selection of images, sounds, subtitles, multi-angles, etc recorded on a DVD. Digital: Sound that has been converted into numerical values. Digital sound is available when you use the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT COAXIAL or OPTICAL jacks. These jacks send audio through multiple channels, instead of just two channels as analogue does. Dolby Digital: A surround sound system developed by Dolby Laboratories containing up to six channels of digital audio (front left and right, surround left and right and centre). DTS: Digital Theatre Systems. This is a surround sound system, but it is different from Dolby Digital. The formats were developed by different companies. JPEG: A still-picture data compression system proposed by the Joint Photographic Expert Group, which features small decrease in image quality in spite of its high compression ratio. MP3: A file format with a sound data compression system. MP3 is the abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG1) Audio Layer 3. By using MP3 format. one CD-R or CD-RW can contain about 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can. Multichannel: DVD is specified to have each sound track constitute one sound field. Multichannel refers to a structure of sound tracks having three or more channels. Parental control: A function of the DVD to limit playback of the disc by the age of the users according to the limitation level in each country. The limitation varies from disc to disc; when it is activated, playback will be prohibited if the softwares level is higher than the userset level. PCM (Pulse Code Modulation): A system for converting analogue sound signal to digital signal for later processing, with no data compression used in conversion. Playback control (PBC): Refers to the signal recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for controlling reproduction. By using menu screens recorded on a Video CD or SVCD that supports PBC, you can enjoy interactivetype software as well as software having a search function. Plug and Play: After power up, the system will prompt the user to proceed with the automatic installation of radio stations by simply pressing the PLAY button on the main unit. Region code: A system for allowing discs to be played back only in the region designated beforehand. This unit will only play discs that have compatible region codes. You can find the region code of your unit by looking on the product label. Some discs are compatible with more than one region (or ALL regions).
