Let's

Look

Inside!

Y

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 TV signal 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.

T

he AutoLock feature is an inte-

grated 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 AutoLock 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
AutoLock feature.

AutoLock offers various
BLOCKING 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 individual channels
including the A/V inputs.

Clear All: Allows you clear all
channels being blocked from your
viewing set with the Channel Block
Control.

Block All: Allows you to block
ALL channels and A/V inputs at
one time.

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

LOCKING PROGRAMMING BASED ON MOVIE RATINGS

T

here are two types of program rat-

ings within the AutoLock feature.
One is based on the Movie Industry rat­ings while the other is based on the TV

ton on the remote to turn the rating

option ON or OFF.

When a rating is set to block,

all higher ratings will be auto­matically blocked as well. (Example: If
the the PG-13 rating is set to block, the

HOW TO USE THE CLOSED CAPTION CONTROL

C

losed Captioning (CC) allows you

to read the voice content of televi­sion programs on the TV screen.
Designed to help the hearing impaired,
this feature uses on-screen “text boxes”
to show dialogue and conversations
while the TV program is in progress.

Press the CC button on the remote

to display the current Closed Caption set-

ting.

Press the CC button repeatedly to

choose from the four Closed Caption
options (CC Off, CC 1, CC 2, CC
Mute). Dialogue (and descriptions) for
the action on the captioned TV program
will appear on-screen if the tuned pro­gram is broadcasting CC information.

When finished, press the STATUS

/EXIT button to remove the menu from

the TV’s screen or let the option time out
and disappear from the TV screen.

Not all TV programs and

product commercials are made

with Closed Caption (CC) information
included. Neither are all Closed Caption
modes (CC1, or CC2) necessarily being
used during the transmission of a closed
caption program. Refer to your area's
TV program listings for the stations and
times of Closed Caption shows.

USING THE QUADRA SURF BUTTONS

A

“list” or series of previously

viewed channels can be selected
with the Quadra SURF (colored) but­tons on your remote control. With this
feature you can easily switch between
different TV programs that currently
interest you. The Quadra Surf control
allows you set up four different person­al Surf lists using the colored buttons
(on the remote control), each holding
up to ten channels in its quick view­ing“list.”

Press the CHANNEL (+) or (–) but-

tons (or the NUMBER buttons) to select

a channel to add to one of the SURF lists.

Press the SMILEY button on

the remote control to ADD the channel to
one of the SURF lists.

Press the corresponding COL­ORED (Red, Green, Yellow or Blue)
button to add the channel to that button’s

Surf list. (Up to ten channels per button
can be stored.)

Repeat steps 1 through 3 to add addi­tional channels (up to 10) to each of the
the SURF lists.

To remove a channel from one of the
SURF lists;

Press the COLORED Quadra

Surf button until the desired channel

appears. The screen will display the
channel number with a colored
“Smiley” face to indicate the Colored
button it relates to.

While the “Smiley” face channel

indicator is displayed, press the

FROWNIE face button. The

screen will read, “Remove item? ­Press .”

USING THE QUADRA SURF BUTTONS

T

he Quadra Surf buttons on your

remote control allow you to store up
to 10 channels per button (40 total).
This is a great feature if you want to
store all your favorite Sports channels,
Movie channels, or News channels in
one surf list. Family members can have
there own favorite list of channels. You
can even program the external A/V
Input jacks (Front channel) for one of
the buttons making it a “source” but­ton for your external accessory devices.

Assuming channels have now been
added to the four Quadra Surf lists (the
four colored buttons on the remote, see
the previous page), let’s review how the
feature works.

Press one of the pre-programmed

COLORED buttons on the remote

(Red, Green, Yellow or Blue). The screen
will display a smiley face with the first
programmed channel for that surf list.

While the colored “smiley” face still
appears on the screen, press the same
COLORED button on the remote to

tune the second channel programmed for
that specific surf list.

Repeatedly pressing the same COL-

ORED button while the “smiley” face

appears will tune all the programmed
channels for that specific surf list. After
the last channel is tuned, pressing the
COLORED button again will return you
to the first channel in the list.

If the “smiley” face disappears from the
screen and the same COLORED button is
pressed, the surf channels will be dis­played starting with the FIRST pro­grammed channel again.

Repeat steps 1-3 for the other three

COLORED buttons (Surf lists) if desired.

Any time the “smiley” face appears
with the channel number, pressing the
“frownie” face button will allow you
to remove it from the list (see the previ­ous page for more details).

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

• Check the TV power cord. Unplug the TV, wait 10 seconds, then reinsert plug into
outlet and push POWER button again.

• Check that outlet is not on a wall switch. Be sure fuse is not blown on AC Power strip.

• Check antenna connections. Are they properly secured to the TV's 75Ω plug?

• Check the TUNER MODE control for CABLE or ANTENNA setting.

• Check Audio/Video Input jack connections if using a VCR or other external device.

• Check batteries. Replace with AA Heavy Duty (Zinc Chloride) or Alkaline batteries

if necessary.

• Clean the remote and the remote sensor window on the TV.

• Check the TV power cord. Unplug the TV, wait 10 seconds, then reinsert plug into

outlet and push POWER button again. Be sure fuse is not blown on AC Power strip.

• Check to be sure TV outlet is not on a wall switch.

• Check the VOLUME buttons.

• Check the MUTE button on the remote control.

• Check Audio/Video Input jack connections if using a VCR or other external device.

• 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.

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.

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). 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.

• Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as they might cause permanent marring
of the cabinet finish.

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 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

Auto 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.

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.

Closed Caption • Broadcast standard which allows you to read
the voice content of television programs on the TV screen.
Designed to help the hearing impaired this feature uses on­screen "text boxes" to show dialogue and conversations while
the TV program is in progress.

Front or Side Audio/Video Inputs • Located on the front or
side of the TV these connectors (phono type plug) are used for
the input of audio and video signals. Designed for easy use
with VCRs or cameras.

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.

Quadra Surf • The feature that allows the programming of four
separate Surf lists holding up to 10 channels each.

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

Status/Exit • 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).

Surf • The action of scanning specific channel in a limited
channel list.

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.

Tuner Mode • Feature control settings made by the TV.
Designed for first time set up and use. Settings for signal con­nections (antenna or cable TV), plus channel program memory
are held in the TV's memory (even if the set is unplugged and
moved to a new location.)

This product must be carried in for service.

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, acci-

dent, 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 IN U.S.A.,
PUERTO RICO OR U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS...

Contact a Philips factory service center (see enclosed list) or author­ized service center to arrange repair.

(In U.S.A., Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands, all implied warranties,
including implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a partic­ular purpose, are limited in duration to the duration of this express
warranty. But, because some states do not allow limitations on how
long an implied warranty may last, this limitation may not apply to
you.)

of the possibility of such damages.)
