our Cable TV input into your
home may be a single (75 ohm)
cable, or a Converter Box installation. In either case the connection to
the TV is very easy. Just put the
threaded end of the cable signal to
the TV's antenna plug and screw it
down finger tight.
If your Cable TVsignal is a single
round cable (75 ohm) then you're
ready to connect to the TV.
If you have a Cable Converter Box:
Connect the Cable TV signal to the
Cable Signal IN(put) plug on the
Converter.
Connect the Cable TV cable to the
75Ω plug on the TV.
If you have a Cable Converter Box:
Connect the OUT(put) plug from the
Converter to the 75Ω plug on the TV.
Remember: Set the TV for the
type signal you've just connected
(see the “Tuner Mode” section on page
11 of this manual).
To select only the channel numbers on
your Cable system see “Auto Program"
(page 12). If you use a Cable Converter
box, set the TV to the same channel as
the converter's CH 3/4 switch (on the rear
of the converter).

HOOKING UP YOUR TV (BASIC ANTENNA TV CONNECTIONS)
A
combination antenna receives
normal broadcast channels
(VHF 2-13 and UHF 14-69). Your
connection is easy since there is
only one 75Ω (ohm) antenna plug
on the back of your TV - and that’s
where the antenna goes.
If your antenna has a round cable
(75 ohm) on the end, then you're ready
to connect it to the TV.
If your antenna has flat twin-lead wire
(300 ohm), you first need to attach the
antenna wires to the screws on a 300 to
75 ohm adapter.
Push the round end of the adapter
(or antenna) onto the 75Ω plug on the
rear of the TV. If the round end of the
antenna wire is threaded, screw it down
finger tight.
Remember: Be sure to set the
TV for the type signal you've
connected (see the “Tuner Mode” section on page 11 of this manual.)
To set the TV to select only the channel
numbers in your area see how to
“Program" or "Add" channels in the
TV’s memory on page 12 (Auto
Program section).
To order any optional accessory contact
your dealer or the Philips Parts Center
at 1-800-851-8885.

TV PARENTAL GUIDELINES
(TV BROADCASTERS)
T
he SmartLock feature is an
integrated circuit that receives
and processes data sent by broadcasters, or other program
providers, that contain program
content advisories. When programmed by the viewer, a TV with
SmartLock can respond to the content advisories and block program
content that may be found objectionable (such as offensive language, violence, sexual situations,
etc.). This is a great feature to censor the type of viewing children
may watch.
Over the next few pages you’ll
learn how to block channels and
certain rated programming. Below
is a brief explanation of some terms
and ratings you will find in the
SmartLock feature.
SmartLock offers various
BLOCKING OPTION controls
from which to choose:
Access Code: An Access Code
must be set to prevent children
from unblocking questionable or
censored programming set by their
parents.
Channel Block: After an access
code has been programmed, you
can block up to 5 individual channels.
Clear Blocked:Allows you clear
all channels being blocked from
your viewing set with the Channel
Block Control.
Movie Ratings: Certain blocking
options exist which will block programming based on ratings patterned by the Motion Pictures
Association of America.
TV Ratings: Just like the Movie
Ratings, programs can be blocked
from viewing using standard TV
ratings set by TV broadcasters.
To learn more about the Motion
Picture Association of America
Ratings and the TV Broadcasters
Television Ratings, refer to the definitions listed on the columns to the
right.

blocked.

• Check the MUTE button on the remote control.
• Repeat channel selection.
• Add desired channel numbers (CHANNEL control) into TV memory.
• Check to be sure the TUNER MODE control is set to the CABLE option.
CAUTION: Avideo source (such as a video game, Compact Disc Interactive - CDI, or
TV information channel) which shows a constant non-moving pattern on the TV screen,
can cause picture tube damage. When your TV is continuously used with such a source
the pattern of the non-moving portion of the game (CDI, etc.) could leave an image
permanently on the picture tube. When not in use, turn the video source OFF.
Regularly alternate the use of such video sources with normal TV viewing.
P
lease make these simple checks
before calling for service. These
tips can save you time and money since
charges for TV installation and adjustment of customer controls are not covered under your warranty.

LIMITED WARRANTY
WHO IS COVERED?
You must have proof of purchase to receive warranty service. A sales
receipt or other document showing that you purchased the product is
considered proof of purchase.
WHAT IS COVERED?
Warranty coverage begins the day you buy your product. For 90 days
thereafter, all parts will be repaired or replaced free, and labor is free.
From 90 days to one year from the day of purchase, all parts will be
repaired or replaced free, but you pay for all labor charges. From one
to two years from the day of purchase, you pay for the replacement
or repair of all parts except the picture tube, and for all labor charges.
After two years from the day of purchase, you pay for the replacement or repair of all parts, and for all labor charges.
All parts, including repaired and replaced parts, are covered only for
the original warranty period. When the warranty on the product
expires, the warranty on all replaced and repaired parts also expires.
WHAT IS EXCLUDED?
Your warranty does not cover:
• labor charges for installation or setup of the product, adjustment of
customer controls on the product, and installation or repair of
antenna systems outside of the product.
• product repair and/or part replacement because of misuse, accident, unauthorized repair or other cause not within the control of
Philips Consumer Electronics Company.
• reception problems caused by signal conditions or cable or antenna
systems outside the unit.
• a product that requires modification or adaptation to enable it to
operate in any country other than the country for which it was
designed, manufactured, approved and/or authorized, or repair of
products damaged by these modifications.
• incidental or consequential damages resulting from the product.
(Some states do not allow the exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusion may not apply to you.
This includes, but is not limited to, prerecorded material, whether
copyrighted or not copyrighted.)
• a product used for commercial or institutional purposes.
WHERE IS SERVICE AVAILABLE?
Warranty service is available in all countries where the product is officially distributed by Philips Consumer Electronics Company. In countries where Philips Consumer Electronics Company does not distribute the product, the local Philips service organization will attempt to
provide service (although there may be a delay if the appropriate spare
parts and technical manual(s) are not readily available).

purchase. Attach it to this owner’s manual and keep both nearby.
Also keep the original box and packing material in case you need to
return your product.
BEFORE REQUESTING SERVICE...
Please check your owner’s manual before requesting service.
Adjustments of the controls discussed there may save you a service
call.
