DICHIARAZIONE DI CONFORMITA’
Si dichiar a che l’apparecchio MCD179 Philips
risponde alle prescrizioni dell’ar t. 2 comma 1 del
D.M. 28 Agosto 1995 n. 548.
Fatto a Eindhoven
Philips Consumer Electronics
Philips, Glaslaan 2
5616 JB Eindhoven, The Netherlands
CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or
performance of procedures other
than herein may result in hazardous
radiation exposure or other unsafe
operation. 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 3 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 3 Amp. If a plug without a fuse
is used, the fuse at the distribution board
should not be greater than 3 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, mar ked 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.

General Information
●The ventilation should not be impeded by
covering the ventilation openings with items,
such as newspapers, table-cloths, cur tains, etc.
●Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to
excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources
caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.
●No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,
should be placed on the apparatus.
●No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall
be placed on the apparatus.
●If the system is brought directly from a cold to a
warm location, or is placed in a ver y damp room,
moisture may condense on the lens of the disc
unit inside the system. Should this occur, the CD
player would not operate normally. Leave the
power on for about one hour with no disc in the
system until normal playback is possible.
●The mechanical par ts of the set contain self-
lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or
lubricated.
●Batteries (batter y pack or batteries installed)
shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as
sunshine, fire or the like.
●When the system is switched to Standby
mode, it is still consuming some power.
To disconnect the system from the
power supply completely, remove the AC
power plug from the wall socket.
Maintenance
●When a disc becomes dir ty,
clean it with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the disc from the center
out, in a straight line.
●Do not expose the player,
batteries or discs to humidity,
rain, sand or excessive heat
(caused by heating equipment
or direct sunlight). Always keep the disc tray
closed to avoid dust on the lens.
●Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner,
commercially available cleaners, or anti-static
spray intended for colour discs.
●The lens may cloud over when the player is
suddenly moved from cold to warm
surroundings, making it impossible to play a disc.
Leave the player in the warm environment until
the moisture evaporates.
Hearing Safety
Listen at a moderate volume.
●Using headphones at a high volume can impair
your hearing.  This product can produce sounds
in decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss for
a normal person, even for exposure less than a
minute.  The higher decibel ranges are offered
for those that may have already experienced
some hearing loss.
●Sound can be deceiving.  Over time your hearing
comfor t level adapts to higher volumes of
sound.  So after prolonged listening, what sounds
normal can actually be loud and harmful to
your hearing.  To guard against this, set your
volume to a safe level before your hearing
adapts and leave it there .
To establish a safe volume level:
●Set your volume control at a low setting.
●Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfor tably and clearly, without distor tion.
Listen for reasonable periods of time:
●Prolonged exposure to sound, even at normally
safe levels, can also cause hearing loss.
●Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and
take appropriate breaks.
Be sure to observe the following
guidelines when using your headphones.
●Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable
periods of time.
●Be careful not to adjust the volume as your
hearing adapts.
●Do not turn up the volume so high that you
cant hear whats around you.
●You should use caution or temporarily
discontinue use in potentially hazardous
situations.
●Do not use headphones while operating a
motorized vehicle, cycling, skateboarding, etc.; it
may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many
areas.

Step 2:Connecting speakers
and subwoofer
●Connect the supplied DIN cable to DVD player’s
DIN jack and the subwoofer’s DIN jack.
●Connect the speaker wires to the SPEAKER
terminals, right speaker to R and left speaker to
L, coloured (marked) wire to + and black
(unmarked) wire to -. Fully inser t the stripped
por tion of the speaker wire into the terminal as
shown.
     
Notes:
–For optimal sound performance, use the
supplied speakers.
–Do not connect more than one speaker to any
one pair of +/- speaker terminals.
–Do not connect speakers with an impedance
lower than the speakers supplied. Please refer to
the SPECIFICATIONS section of this manual.
Step 1: Placing speakers and
subwoofer
For best possible surround sound, locate your
speakers and subwoofer as follows:
●Place the left and right speaker s at equal
distances from the TV set and at an angle of
approximately 45 degrees from the listening
position.
●Place the subwoofer on the floor.
Notes:
–To avoid magnetic interference, position the
speakers, subwoofer as far as possible from the
main unit, TV set or other radiation source.
–Allow adequate ventilation around the DVD
System.
IMPORTANT!
The type plate is located on the bottom
of the system.
To avoid overheating of the system, a
safety circuit has been built in.  Therefore,
your system may switch to Standby
mode automatically under extreme
conditions.  If this happens, let the system
cool down before reusing it.
