ave you ever played hide and

eek with your remote

control? Are you tired of tearing
the house apart trying to find if
someone has stuffed the remote
under the couch, put it on the
shelves, or hid it in the desk? Well,

your TV remote can save you all

that looking by automatically

signaling its location to you.

Here's how it works:

1_ Press the POWER button on

the set to turn the TV ON.

Note: Normally you can press any
button on the front of the TV to

turn the set ON. But for the remote
Iocator to work you need to be sure

to use the Power button at the TV.
"LOCATING REMOTE" shows on

the TV screen.

_,,_ Within a few seconds a

chirping or beeping sound will
begin to come from the remote

control hand unit.
The remote will continue to signal

its location for around 30 seconds.

Normal TV program sound will not
be heard while the remote locator is

working.

_,3,,,,> Once you find the remote just

press any button on the remote and
the beeping sound will stop.

The remote is n_v ready for
normal TV feature use.

_oc emember. The remote

ator may not properly
receive its '%oming" signal from
the TV if it has been placed on a

metal shelf or counter material.
Also, since there's a special type of

radio frequency '%oming" signal
receiver inside the remote we are

required to notify you that any
changes or modifications not

expressly approved by Philips
Consumer Electronics Company
could void the user's authority to
operate the remote equipment.

See the above information on
how to u_ the Locator Code

Button for Programming.

<

For most homes this step would
not be needed but for your
information:

Up to 9 different remote locator

address codes can be set on which the

TV can send out its "homing" signal.
This is done in case there is more than

one TV (with a remote locator)

present, and you want only one

specific remote to be signaled when the
TV is turned ON.*

To set a Locator Address Code:

m-_mm

>With TV turned ON, press the

LOCATOR CODE button on the
remote. (Also be sure the "IV

SYSTEM button on the remote has

been pressed.)
You will need a pencil or pen to press

the recessed button.
The TV shows the present Remote

Locator Code.

<_ Press number button (0-9)any

on

the remote to set orchange the Locator

Code.

The remote will beep to let you know

ithas received the new Locator Code

and then return to its normal operating
mode. I_

--_ Remember. If batteries are
placed the Locator Code will

need to be reentered.
When setting the l_z)cator Code if any

button, other than the number buttons,
are pressed the remote will return to its

normal operation mode.
*For owners who live in an apartment

(townhouse or condominium)
complex, this task may be necessary
since the remote locator's signal can be
sent and detected direcly through
adjoining walls.

CAUTION: A video 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 sou
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.

This TV is equipped with protective circuitry that shuts the TV off in case of moderate
power surges. Should this occur turn the TV back on by pressing the POWER button

once or twice, or unplug (wait 10 seconds) and then replug the power cord at the AC
outlet. This feature is NOT designed to prevent damage due to high power surges such

as those caused by lightning, which is not covered by your warranty.

To avoid possible shock hazard be sure the TV is unplugged from the electrical outlet before cleaning.

• When cleaning the TV screen take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface (avoid wearing jewelry or using
anything abrasive). Wipe the front screen with a clean cloth dampened with water. Use even, easy, vertical strokes when
cleaning.

• Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or sponge dampened in a solution of cool clear water. Use a clean dry
cloth to dry the wiped surfaces.

• Occasionally vacuum the ventilation holes or slots in the cabinet back. --

* Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as they might cause permanent marri|

of the cabinet finish.

38

Coaxial Cable * A single solid antenna wire normally matched with a
metal plug (F-type) end connector that screws (or pushes) directly onto
a 75 Ohm input found on the Television or VCR.

Display * An on screen message or graphics that help the user operate
and adjust his Television feature controls. See On Screen Displays
(OSD).

Direct Audio/Video Inputs * Located on the rear of the TV these
connectors (RCA phono type plug) are used for the input of audio and

video signals. Designed for use with VCRs (or other accessories) in
order to receive higher picture resolution and offer sound connection
options.

Identify* Method by which a remote control searches and finds an
operating code for another product (such as a VCR or Cable Converter).

Once the code has been "identified" then the TV remote can operate
and send commands to the other product.

Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) * The broadcast standard that
allows for stereo sound to be transmitted with the TV picture.

On Screen Displays (OSD) * Refers to the wording or messages
generated by the television (or VCR) to help the user with specific
feature controls (color adjustment, programming, etc.).

Menu * An on-screen listing of feature controls shown on the
Television screen that are made available for user adjustments.

Picture -In-Picture (PIP) * Term used when two pictures are shown

on the TV screen at the same time. The smaller PIP picture is
supplied by a VCR (or other tuner/video playback source). The PIP

picture can also be moved and swapped with the TV's main screen
picture.

Programming * The procedure of adding or deleting channel
numbers into the Television's memory circuits. In this way the
Television "remembers" only the locally available or desired
channel numbers and skips over any unwanted channel numbers.

Remote Sensor Window * A window or opening found on the
Television control panel through which infrared remote control
command signals are received.

Second Audio Program (SAP) * Another or additional audio
channel provided for in the Multichannel Television Sound (MTS)
broadcast standard. The most frequently proposed use for SAP is the

simultaneous bilingual broadcast of TV program material.

Status * Allows the user to quickly confirm what channel number is
currently being viewed. Status can also be used to clear the

Television of on screen displays or information (rather than waiting
for the displays to "time out" or automatically disappear from the

screen).

Twin Lead Wire * The more commonly used name for the two
strand 300 Ohm antenna wire used with many indoor and outdoor
antenna systems. In many cases this type of antenna wire requires an
additional adapter (or balun) in order to connect to the 75 Ohm Input

terminals designed into the more recent Televisions and VCRs.
