Enjoy highest-quality images that are free from annoying

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.

Warranty service varies from region to region. Contact your local

Philips representative for more detailed information.

3General information

Power Sources

This unit operates on a supplied AC adaptor, car adapter, or a

rechargeable battery pack.

•Make sure that the input voltage of the AC adaptor is in line

with the local voltage. Otherwise, the AC adaptor and unit may

be damaged.

3General information

PET831_98 2008.1.4 17:06 Page 9

•Do not touch the AC adaptor with wet hands to prevent elec-

tric shock.

•When connecting with car power (cigarette lighter) adaptor, be

sure the input voltage of the adaptor is identical with car voltage.

•Unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet when the unit is not

used for long periods of time.

•Hold the plug to disconnect the AC adaptor. Do not pull the

power cord.

Please always use supplied AC/DC adaptor (AY4129)

Safety and maintenance

•Do not disassemble the unit for laser rays are dangerous to

eyes.

Any service should be done by qualified service personnel.

•Unplug the AC adaptor to cut the power if liquid or objects get

inside the unit.

•Take care not to drop the unit or subject it to strong shocks,

which may cause malfunction.

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 “comfort 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.

Please always use supplied AC/DC adaptor (AY4129)
