12. Cleaning - The appliance should be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer.

13. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines.

14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static charges.

Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mats and supporting structure grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Fig. below.

15. Non-use Periods - The power cord of the appliance should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time.

16. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.

17. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:

A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the

appliance; or

our TV is able to deliver

The Analog Format control can be used to expand conventional 4:3 aspect ratio (width-to-height) broadcasts in order to fit your TV’s widescreen format; or to reset the screen to best match the current programming.

Select ANALOG FORMAT

With the FEATURES MENU on screen, move the RED highlight with the outer OK arrow buttons. Then press the center OK button to select the feature.

Press the OK arrow

Press the STATUS button to

Note: The LCD Display MODE 2 screen on the remote control can also be used to quickly select various aspect ratio screen control settings for TV viewing. Press the LCD screen direction (< or >) buttons on the remote to select the WideTV Mode 2 display for use. Then press the correct (D) callout button to select the desired screen aspect ratio. Note: Not all of the MODE 2 LCD display settings may be available for use with your select model HD PTV.

SMART HELP

Note: In the past the

relationship between a TV screen’s width to height, or aspect ratio, has historically been 33% wider than the picture screen height (or a 4:3 aspect ratio). The widescreen format of your TV screen is nearly 80% greater than its measure height (which accounts for a 16:9 aspect ratio). The reason for the 16:9 aspect ratio screen is that it allows for the dramatic and lifelike viewing of original version movies and cinemas (similar to the type found in your local theaters). And the 16:9 aspect ratio widescreen is also a good visual match for how our eyes work in a horizontally oriented field of view and action plane.

Panoramic - Conventional picture is expanded to fill the full 16:9 aspect ratio screen area. Most of the non-linear picture expansion is performed toward the outer edges so that correct proportions are retained in the center of the screen.

4:3 (Standard) Conventional TV picture format shows on the screen. Black bar areas show on the side margins of the screen.

16:9 (Expand) - Full widescreen mode with linear expansion to view HD program broadcasts. Used for material originally produced in 16:9 format.

Theater 1/2 - Expanded zoom modes with picture images increased in magnification. Designed for use with “letterbox” or cropped movie images such as found with Cinemascope or Cinerama type program material. Note: With the Theater modes there can be some loss of information at the edges as the picture expands to fill the screen.

Continue to the next page to find out how to "BLOCK" channels from viewing.

SMART HELP

Parents - it isn't possible

to unlock or defeat your Censor Code without changing to a new code number. So if your Code number changes, and you didn't change it yourself, then you will know that someone has altered the code and the blanked out channel has been viewed.

NOTE:Your TV left the factory with the Parental Code set to "0000". If you are using your TV and the Parental Control for the first time, and don't want to SETUP a new Access code number, you can use the "0000" number to block channels - see next page. The "0711" Parental Code (shown on this page) is given as a default or way to reset the Code when the current Access number is not known.

• Press outer OK arrow button (on the Right)

With CONTENT ADVISORY Menu on screen, move the RED highlight with the outer OK arrow buttons. Then press the center OK button to select the feature.

Press the OK arrow and

Please refer to Note shown with this page section for details on “unrated” and “no rating” program control options.

Note: Remember that Content Advisory data or encoded information is not available with all received TV programming (this also includes commercials, and other program spot announcements). Broadcaster’s can decide

not to encode any kind of content advisory ratings with their programming, or they can actually choose to encode programs to be “unrated.” The TV Blocking Options allow the viewer to block any program without content advisory data with the use of its “NO RATING INFORMATION” control. And to block programs that are encoded as “unrated” with its “UNRATED PROGRAMMING” control option.

Since the reception of Content Advisory data can take a few seconds, you may want to use the “CHANNEL CHANGE” option to be sure no viewing is allowed during blocked program channel changes. This can eliminate the display of a few seconds of undesirable video on the TV, or receiving scenes from a Ratings blocked channel source.

AUX(iliary) mode to play sound from the TV (Outputs).

Note: When the TV SPEAKER control is set to "NORMAL" (for TV speaker operation) make sure the VARIABLE AUDIO OUTPUT control (see next page) is also set to "STEREO" in order for the TV's AUDIO OUTPUT jacks to work properly.

NOTE: The TV’s FIXED AUDIO OUTPUT jacks can also be used for the playback of TV program sound with an external audio amplifier, or home theater hi-fi system, Connection of the FIXED AUDIO OUT(puts) is similar

to the Variable Audio Outputs (as shown above). However, specific sound level adjustments will be made with the controls at the external amplifier or home sound system (instead of through the TV’s audio level controls.)

NOTE: The TV’s PIP AUDIO OUTPUT jacks can also be used for additional stereo playback options such as wireless transmitter headphone hook-up, or as an external amplifier connection source. However, with normal PIP feature operations (when

the ANT A and ANT B Input sources are connected for use), the PIP AUDIO OUTPUTs will switch from stereo to monaural (mono) sound. Stereo sound will only be available with the TV’s Main screen (or ANT A supplied signal) at that time.

Note: Audio Menu controls can be set separately dependent upon the current TV operating mode (NTSC/ANTENNA, AUX 4, AUX 5, etc.). For instance, the TV Speaker On/Off control can be set to “OFF” for normal NTSC TV viewing playback operation; while the same TV Speaker Audio control can also be set to “ON” in a AUX 4 or AUX 5 Input Source mode.

HOW TO USE THE PICTURE-IN-PICTURE (PIP) FEATURE

icture-in-Picture (PIP) is the

showing of two pictures on the TV screen at the same time. (One main screen picture and one small inset picture - or PIP). For your ease and convenience this TV has two separate inputs (ANTenna A and ANTenna B) for your home’s Antenna and/or Cable TV system signal.

The ANT A input is primarily for the TV’s main screen picture. The ANT B input is provided as a second, dedicated source option for the TV’s PIP “window” and

its feature operations. The signal connected to the ANT B input can be either a Split Signal Input (as described in the section on this page), or another type of external signal source (such as a satellite dish system, additional home antenna, video accessory, etc.).

See the following steps on how channels connected to the ANT(enna) B Input can be shown and used within the PIP window:

Connect your Antenna or

Cable TV signal to the single 75

ohm INPUT plug on a two-way Signal Splitter (not supplied).

Connect two lengths of RF Coaxial Cable (F-type connectors on both ends) to the two OUTPUT plugs on the two-way Signal Splitter.

Connect the twin OUTPUT

plugs on the Signal Splitter to the

ANT A and ANT B Inputs on the rear of the TV.

4).

SMART

HELP

The ANTENNA A signal input supplies the TV’s Main screen picture, and the AUX 1 VIDEO Input connection from the VCR serves as the picture source for PIP. Be sure to set the TV’s PIP SOURCE SELECT control to the “AUX 1 VIDEO” mode in order to display the Audio/Video Input signals within the PIP window.

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 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.

Cleaning and Care

• 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- do not use household cleaners). Wipe the front screen with a clean cloth dampened with water. Use even, easy, vertical strokes when cleaning.

• Specially designed screen cleaning kits are also available which contain anti-static cleaners and cloths designed to get into the ridges of the TV screen. If interested, ask your dealer about an optional Projection TV Screen Cleaning Kit or call our toll-free Accessory Parts ordering number 1-800-851-8885.

• Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or sponge dampened in a solution of cool clear water and a mild soap or detergent. 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 marring of the cabinet finish.

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 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.

GLOSSARY TO TELEVISION TERMS

Aspect Ratio * The proportions of a rectangular display screen. NTSC television has a 4:3 ratio; HDTV is 16:9.

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.

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 TV feature controls. See On Screen Displays (OSD).

HDTV * High Definition Television which offers approximately twice the vertical/horizontal resolution of NTSC video, and sound quality approaching that of compact disc. (Usually taken to mean a picture of 1920 x 1080 pixels in a 16:9 aspect ratio.)

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.

LED * Light Emitting Diode or indicator. Menu * An on-screen listing of feature controls shown on the TV

screen that are made available for user adjustments. Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) * The broadcast standard

that allows for stereo sound to be transmitted with the TV picture. NTSC * National Television Standards Committee format devised

for TV broadcasting signals in the 1940s (525 lines; 30Hz.) On Screen Displays (OSD) * Refers to the wording or messages

generated by the TV to help the user with specific feature controls (color adjustment, programming, etc.).

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 TV’s memory circuits. In this way the TV “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 TV control panel through which infrared remote control command signals are received.

RGB * Red, Green, Blue color component inputs used for connection purposes with personal computers (PCs) and other high definition video devices.

RF * Radio Frequency or modulated signal design used as the carrier for television broadcasts.

Second Audio Program (SAP) * Another or additional audio channel provided for in the Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) broadcast standard. A monaural soundtrack included within the recorded or video signal (usually containing a second language translation for the displayed programming.)

Status * Allows the user to quickly confirm what channel number is currently being viewed. Status can also be used to clear the TV of on-screen displays or information (rather than waiting for the displays to “time out” or automatically disappear from the screen).

SVGA * Super Video Graphics Array S-Video Input * Allows direct connection of high-resolution video

sources, such as a Super VHS videocassette recorder, Laser Disc player, etc. Provides improved picture resolution, sharpness, and clarity.

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.

Variable Audio Output * An adjustable audio output which allows for volume variations at the source.

VGA * Video Graphics Array

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 two years thereafter (30 days for the digital projection TV screen), all parts will be repaired or replaced, and labor and transportation are free. After two years from the day of purchase, you pay for the replacement or repair of all parts except the “Clear-Vu” lens (which is guaranteed against manufacturer’s defects for the life of the product), and for all labor and transportation 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).

MAKE SURE YOU KEEP...

Please keep your sales receipt or other document showing proof of 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.

TO GET WARRANTY SERVICE...

Repair must be performed by an authorized service center or a factory service center. If you do not live near a factory service center, contact your dealer. If your dealer is an authorized service center, he will arrange repair. If your dealer is not an authorized service center, he will direct you to the authorized service center engaged by him to service the products he sells.
