Introduction 5 - Philips DV900VHS Owner's Manual

Welcome!
This DVD/VCR combines a Digital Video Disc (DVD) Player and a Hi-Fi Video Cassette Recorder (VCR) into
one unit, allowing you to play DVDs, Audio Compact Discs (Audio CDs), and video cassette tapes from one
piece of equipment. The DVD Player of this DVD/VCR will allow you to enjoy better picture quality, clearer
sound, and endless playback features available on 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 possibili-
ties are limited only by your choices and the materials available on the DVD.
When playing Audio CDs, determine the order in which you want to hear the songs, or play the Disc repeat-
edly - all while seeing the status of the CD on your television.
We hope you enjoy this DVD/VCR and learn to use all of its features. To get the most out of the DVD/VCR,
read this owner's manual carefully. It will describe how you can access all the features listed below.
