Introduction 5 - Philips DVD621 Owner's Manual

Welcome!
This Digital Video Disc Player will allow you to enjoy better picture quality, clearer
sound, and endless playback features available on Digital Video Discs (DVDs). Expanding
technology allows you to add options to your viewing - watch a director's cut of a
movie, listen to the producer's comments, or play your favorite scene over and over
again. Hear a movie in different languages, or listen only to the soundtrack. The possibil-
ities are limited only by your choices and the materials available on the DVD.
Of course, you can listen to your favorite Audio Compact Discs on this DVD Player as
well. Determine the order in which you want to hear the songs, or play the Disc
repeatedly - all while seeing the status of the CD on your television.
We hope you enjoy this DVD Player and learn to use all of its features. To get the most
out of the DVD Player, read this owner's manual carefully. It will describe how you can
access all the features listed below.

Some explanations in this manual describe the Disc Menus. These menus are set by

access the Disc Menu by pressing the DISC MENU button on the remote control.
Details are on page 19.
DVD Player Menus...
Some instructions explain how to use the DVD Player's menu to set up features of
the DVD Player or the Disc. You get to the DVD Player Menu by pressing the SETUP
button on the remote control when Disc playback is stopped. Even if a feature is set
up in the DVD Player's menu, it may not be available if the current Disc does not
include that feature.
Available Disc Features...
Not all of the features described in this manual may be available on every
DVD or Audio CD. If the feature is not available on the Disc, you cannot
use the DVD Player to make these features available. An "X" will appear
in the top right corner of the TV screen if you try to access a feature that is not avail-
able on the current Disc or not available at the current time. The "X" may not be vis-
ible if the DVD you are playing is in Widescreen format (with black bars at the top
