Pixel characteristics

This LCD product has a high number of
colour pixels. Although it has effective
pixels of 99.999% or more, black dots or
bright points of light (red, green or blue)
may appear constantly on the screen.
This is a structural property of the display
(within common industry standards) and
is not a malfunction.

Mains fuse (UK only)

This TV is tted with an approved

moulded plug. Should it become
necessary to replace the mains fuse, this
must be replaced with a fuse of the same
value as indicated on the plug (example
10A).

1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2 The replacement fuse must comply with

BS 1362 and have the ASTA approval
mark. If the fuse is lost, contact your
dealer in order to verify the correct type.

3 Ret the fuse cover.

In order to maintain conformity to the
EMC directive, the mains plug on this
product must not be detached from the
mains cord cable.

TV on a at, level surface that can

support the combined weight of the
TV and the stand.
When wall mounting the TV, use •
only a wall mount that can support
the weight of the TV. Secure the wall
mount to a wall that can support the
combined weight of the TV and wall
mount. Koninklijke Philips Electronics

over the edge of the surface.

Never place the TV on tall furniture •

(such as a bookcase) without

anchoring both the furniture and TV

to the wall or a suitable support.

Educate children about the dangers •

of climbing on furniture to reach the

TV.
Risk of overheating! Never install the •

TV in a conned space. Always leave a

space of at least 4 inches around the TV
for ventilation. Ensure cur tains or other
objects never cover the ventilation slots
on the TV.
Risk of damage to the TV! Before you •
connect the TV to the power outlet,
ensure that the power voltage matches
the value printed on the back of the TV.
