The Player Manual section at ICDIA disappeared in 2003 by request of Philips as they set up a general support website which included all kinds of manuals of all their products. This worked well a long time but you might have noticed over the years the Philips support site doesn't work properly anymore. For some reasons, most CD-i manuals are nowhere to be found anymore. As a result of this, we decided to activate the ICDIA player manual section back again so all original CD-i Player Manuals are now online at ICDIA. Cdifan, the webmaster of ICDIA: "Manuals for ALL Philips CD-i player models should be available from Philips Customer Care, but since that site is spotty they have been made available here as well."Jorg kennis adds:"There were different editions of some CD-i player models, for example with different connectors (i.e. SCART for some European releases or Antenna in/out connections for some US models), different Digital Video cartridges and most importantly: different versions of the player shell. Since only the manuals for a limited number of CD-i player versions are available in digital format, we provide you with a list of all player versions and an indication to which manual is most suitable for this particular player. Remember that there still might be regional differences, especially in relation to the connection to a power source and connecting to a TV (SCART, CVBS, antenna, etc.). Please apply Philips' version indication method to the version number to find manuals for localized versions (i.e. add /05 for UK and /17 for US). For CDI 220/20 and CDI 220/40: You may have to combine information about the Digital Video cartridge from the CDI 205 manual and information about the player shell from the CDI 220/60 manual."
