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 exces-

sive 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 elec-

tronic 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 antennadischarge 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 Ser vice - 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;

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. Ser vicing - 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 CATV system 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.

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 OPTION controls from which to choose:

MASTER DISABLE: This is what might be called the "master switch" for AutoLock. When in the ON position, ALL blocking/censoring is turned off (or disabled). When in the OFF position, ALLblocking 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 5

individual channels. But more than just blocking channels, certain blocking options exist which will block programming based on ratings 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-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.

HOW TO SET THE TV FOR STEREO PROGRAMS

our TV can detect a stereo sig-

nal and will set itself automatically so the stereo sound can be heard. However, there may be occasions when you might want to set the TV to mono. The following steps describe how to change the SOUND control:

Press the MENU button on

the remote to show the onscreen

menu.

Press the CURSOR UP © or

CURSOR DOWN ■ button

until the word SOUND is highlighted.

Press the CURSOR RIGHT

©© or CURSOR LEFT §§

buttons to choose between STEREO or MONO.

With STEREO selected, the television will reproduce any stereo broadcast signal it receives. Please note that you can force a stereo broadcast signal to MONO, but you cannot force a mono broadcast signal to stereo.

SAP is an additional part of the stereo broadcast system. Sent as a third audio channel SAP can be heard apart from the current TV program sound. TV stations are free to use SAP for any number of purposes, but many experts believe it will be used for foreign language translations of TV shows (or for weather and news bulletins.)

If a SAP signal is not present with a selected program, the SAP option cannot be selected. Also, if SAP is selected on a channel (with SAP) and you select another channel, when you return to the original channel SAP will be OFF (and you will have to reselect the SAP feature.)

• 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 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 if one is being used.

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

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 (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

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.

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.

Onscreen 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 onscreen listing of feature controls shown on the Television 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.

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.

Setup Mode • Automatic feature control settings made by the TV. Designed for first time setup 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.)

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.

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.

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.
