SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - Read before operating equipment
This product was designed and manufactured to meet strict quality and safety standards. There are, however, some installation and operation pre­cautions which you should be particularly aware of.
1. Read Instructions - All the safety and operating instructions should
be read before the appliance is operated.
2. Retain Instructions - The safety and operating instructions should
be retained for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings - All warnings on the appliance and in the operating
instructions should be adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions should be
followed.
5. Water and Moisture - The appliance should not be used near water
- for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool, etc.
6. Carts and Stands - The appliance should be used only with a cart or
stand that is recommended by the manufacturer.
6A. An appliance and cart combination should be moved
with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven sur­faces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
6B. Tilt/Stability- All televisions must comply with recommended inter-
national global safety standards for tilt and stability properties of its cabinet design.
Do not compromise these design standards by applying exces­sive pull force to the front, or top, of the cabinet which could ultimately overturn the product.
Also, do not endanger yourself, or children, by placing elec­tronic equipment/toys on the top of the cabinet. Such items could unsuspectingly fall from the top of the set and cause product damage and/or personal injury.
7. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to a
wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
8. Ventilation - The appliance should be situated so that its location or
position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a built­in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.
9. Heat - The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such
as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
10. Power Sources - The appliance should be connected to a power sup-
ply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.
11. Power-Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be routed so
that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords and plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
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
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a
marked change in performance; or
E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.
18. Servicing - The user should not attempt to service the appliance
beyond that described in the operating instructions. All other servic­ing should be referred to qualified service personnel.
Note to the CA TVsystem installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that pro­vides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

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 tight.
If your Cable TV signal is a sin-
gle 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 75plug on the TV.
If you have a Cable Converter Box:
Connect the OUT(put) plug from the Converter to the 75plug on the TV.

combination antenna receives
normal broadcast channels (VHF 2-13 and UHF 14-69). Your connection is easy since there is only one 75(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 75 plug on the rear of the TV. If the round end of the antenna wire is threaded, screw it down tight.

UNDERSTANDING THE SMARTLOCK™ FEATURE
T
he SmartLock 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 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 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:
MASTER DISABLE: This is what might be called the "master switch" for SmartLock. When in the ON position, ALL blocking/censoring is turned off (or disabled). When in the OFF position, ALL blocking based on specifically blocked settings will take place.
BLOCK UNRATED: ALL unrated programs based on the Movie Ratings or Parental (TV) Guidelines can be blocked if this feature is set to ON and the MASTER DISABLE feature is set to OFF.
BLOCK NO RATINGS: ALL pro­gramming with NO content advisory data can be blocked if this feature is set to ON and the MASTER DIS­ABLE feature is set to OFF.
After an access code has been pro­grammed, you can block up to 6
ratings in both the TV and Movie Ratings area. These ratings are pat­terned by the Motion Pictures Association of America and TV broadcasters. (See description of rat­ings on this page.)
G: General Audience - All ages admit- ted. Most parents would find this pro­gram suitable for all ages. This type of programming contains little or no vio­lence, no strong language, and little or no sexual dialogue or situations.
PG: Parental Guidance Suggested -
This programming contains material that parents may find unsuitable for younger children. It may contain one or more of the follow­ing: Moderate violence, some sexual situa­tions, infrequent coarse language, or some suggestive dialogue.
PG-13: Parents Strongly Cautioned - This programming contains material that parents may find unsuitable for children under the age of 13. It contains one or more of the following: violence, sexual situations, coarse language, or suggestive dialogue.
R: Restricted -This is programming is specifically designed for adults. Anyone under the age of 17 should only view this programming with an accompanying parent or adult guardian. It contains one or more of the following: intense violence, intense sexual situations, strong coarse language, or intensely suggestive dialogue.
NC 17: No one under the age of 17 will be admitted. - This type of programming
should be viewed by adults only. It con­tains graphic violence, explicit sex, or crude indecent language.

SETTING THE SMARTLOCK™ ACCESS CODE
Parents - it isn’t possible for your child to unblock a channel without knowing your access code or changing it to a new one. If your code changes, and you didn’t change it, then you know it’s been altered by someone else and blocked channels have been viewed.
O
ver the next few pages you’ll
learn how to block programs and get a better understanding of the rating terms for certain broad­casts.
First, let’s start by learning how to set a personal access code:
Press the MENU button on the
remote to display the onscreen
menu.
Press the CURSOR UP or
DOWN button until the word
SMARTLOCK is highlighted.
Press the CURSOR RIGHT
© button to display the SMART-
LOCK REVIEW screen.
Press the CURSOR RIGHT ©
button. The onscreen display will
read, “ACCESS CODE ----.”
Using the NUMBERED but-
tons, enter 0, 7, 1, 1. “XXXX”
appears on the Access Code screen as you press the numbered buttons.
If the 0, 7, 1, 1 code is correctly entered, proceed to step 7.
If you enter a wrong digit, “INCORRECT CODE” will appear on the screen, and you will
be asked to “PLEASE ENTER AGAIN.”
Enter the 0, 7, 1, 1 code again.
Press the CURSOR DOWN
button until the words CHANGE
CODE are highlighted.
Press the CURSOR RIGHT ©
button to change your personal
Access Code.
“Next enter a “new” 4 digit
code using the NUMBERED but-
tons. The screen will then ask you
to confirm the code you just entered. Enter your new code again. “XXXX” will appear when you enter your new code.
After confirming the new code the onscreen menu will return to the BLOCK option.
NOTE: The 0,7,1,1 access code shown on this page is the default code or a way to reset the code when the current access code is not known.
After the new code has been confirmed, the on-screen menu will return to the BLOCK option. Continue through the next few pages to learn how to block program ratings.

Check the television power cord. Unplug the television for 10 seconds, then reinsert the plug into the AC outlet and press the POWER button on the TV or remote.
Check the wall outlet for power. Make sure the outlet is not connected to a wall switch that has been turned off. Be sure a fuse or circuit breaker hasn’t been blown or tripped.
If using an AC power strip or surge suppressor; check for a blown fuse.
First check the antenna/cable connection to the back of the television. Are they secured properly to the television’s 75Input?
Check the Cable Control for the correct setting. If cable channels are present, set the Cable Control to ON. If normal antenna broadcast channels; set the Cable Control to OFF.
Try activating the Auto Program Control to add any available channels to the televi­sion’s memory.
Check the Volume setting by pressing the Volume + button on the television or the remote control.
Check the Mute button on the remote control.
Check the antenna/cable connection to the back of the television. Are they secured properly to the television’s 75Input?
Check remote batteries. Replace with AAHeavy Duty (Zinc Chloride) or Alkaline batteries if necessary.
Be sure to point the remote at the front of the television when sending commands.
Clean the remote sensor on the front of the remote control unit.
Unplug the television from the wall outlet, wait 10 seconds and reinsert the plug into an outlet. Power the television on again and try the remote once more.
Check to see if there is any damage to the remote case. Look for cracks or acid from old batteries. In this case the remote may have to be replaced.
If you experience any trouble or are confused about a certain function of your television, please read through this troubleshooting section 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 this television’s warranty.
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.

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).
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.
