VAROITUS
Muiden kuin tässä esitettyjen
toimintojen säädön tai asetusten
muutto saattaa altistaa vaaralliselle
säteilylle tai muille vaarallisille
toiminnoille. Important notes for users in the
U.K.
Mains plug
This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13
Amp plug.  To change a fuse in this type of plug
proceed as follows:
1Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp,
A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket
outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate
plug fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should
have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse
is used, the fuse at the distribution board
should not be greater than 5 Amp.
Note:  The severed plug must be disposed of to
avoid a possible shock hazard should it be
inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured with
the following code: blue = neutral (N),
brown = live (L).
¶As these colours may not correspond with the
colour markings identifying the terminals in
your plug, proceed as follows:
– Connect the blue wire to the terminal
marked N or coloured black.
– Connect the brown wire to the terminal
marked L or coloured red.
– Do not connect either wire to the ear th
terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or
coloured green (or green and yellow).
Before replacing the plug cover, make cer tain
that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath
of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

Advarsel: Usynlig laserstråling ved åbning
når sikkerhedsafbrydere er ude af funktion.
Undgå utsættelse for stråling.
Bemærk: Netafbryderen er sekundært
indkoblet og ofbryder ikke strømmen fra
nettet.  Den indbyggede netdel er derfor
tilsluttet til lysnettet så længe netstikket
sidder i stikkontakten.

Klass 1 laseraparat
Varning! Om apparaten används på annat
sätt än i denna bruksanvisning specificerats,
kan användaren utsättas för osynlig
laserstrålning, som överskrider gränsen för
laserklass 1.
Observera! Stömbrytaren är sekundärt
kopplad och bryter inte strömmen från
nätet.  Den inbyggda nätdelen är därför
ansluten till elnätet så länge stickproppen
sitter i vägguttaget.

Varoitus! Laitteen käyttäminen muulla kuin
tässä käyttöohjeessa mainitulla tavalla
saattaa altistaa käyttäjän
turvallisuusluokan 1 ylittävälle
näkymättömälle lasersäteilylle.
Oikeus muutoksiin varataan.  Laite ei saa
olla alttiina tippu-ja roiskevedelle.
Huom. Toiminnanvalitsin on kytketty

Due to the inconsistency of disc formats provided 
by various disc manufacturers, your DVD system/
player/recorder may require a playability 
enhancement or upgrade.  As DVD technology 
advances, these enhancement will become 
common and will be easy to complete.
Go to www. p4c.philips.com for software upgarde.  
En raison de la diversité des formats utilisés par les 
fabricants, votre système DVD peut nécessiter 
lajout de périphériques ou une mise à niveau 
logicielle. Au fur et à mesure des progrès de la 
technologie DVD, ces périphériques se font de plus 
en plus courants et aisés à intégrer. Pour 
télécharger la mise à niveau logicielle, visitez le site 
www.p4c.philips.com.   
Debido a los diferentes formatos de discos 
disponibles en el mercado, es posible que deba 
realizar mejoras o actualizaciones en el sistema de 
DVD relativas a las funciones de reproducción. 
Conforme la tecnología DVD avanza, estas mejoras 
estarán al alcance de todo tipo de usuarios y se 
podrán llevar a cabo fácilmente. Visite la página 
“www.p4c. philips.com” para buscar información 
sobre actualizaciones de software.   
Da das Disk-Format je nach Hersteller verschieden 
ist, ist für Ihr DVD-System möglicherweise die 
Erweiterung der Spielbarkeit oder eine 
Aktualisierung erforderlich. Da die 
DVD-Technologie sich ständig weiterentwickelt, 
werden sich diese Erweiterungen durchsetzen und 
einfach auszuführen sein. Gehen Sie zu für Ihre 
Software-Aktualisierung zu „www.p4c. philips.com“.   
Doordat fabrikanten verschillende schijfindelingen 
aanbieden, moet uw dvd-systeem mogelijk worden 
geüpgradet of uitgebreid. Naarmate de 
dvd-technologie zich verder ontwikkelt, zullen 
deze uitbreidingen normaal worden en zult u ze 
gemakkelijk kunnen uitvoeren. Ga naar 
www.p4c. philips.com om uw software te 
upgraden.
A causa della differenza di formato tra i dischi 
forniti dai vari produttori, il sistema DVD potrebbe 
richiedere un potenziamento o aggiornamento 
della riproducibilità. Col progredire della tecnologia 
DVD, questi potenziamenti diverranno comuni e 
facili da implementare. Visitare 
“www.p4c. philips.com” per scaricare gli 
aggiornamenti del software.
