dren will be able to see.You will find your player remarkably easy

to use with the On-Screen Display and player display in combina-

tion with the remote control.

trol procedures used in our Portable DVD Players, our LCD dis-

plays are produced with zero tolerance for bright dots. Select

Portable DVD Players come with Philips Zero Bright DotTM Policy

to guarantee optimal screen quality.
