the display (within common industry standards)
and is not a malfunction.

Read and understand all instructions before you
use your TV. If damage is caused by failure to
follow instructions, the warranty does not apply.
Safety
Risk of electric shock or fire!•
Never expose the TV to rain or •
water. Never place liquid containers,
such as vases, near the TV. If
liquids are spilt on or into the TV,
disconnect the TV from the power
outlet immediately. Contact Philips
Consumer Care to have the TV
checked before use.
Never place the TV, remote control •
or batteries near naked flames or
other heat sources, including direct
sunlight.
To prevent the spread of fire, keep
candles or other flames away from
the TV, remote control and batteries
at all times.
Never insert objects into the •
ventilation slots or other openings on
the TV.
When the TV is swiveled ensure that •
no strain is exerted on the power
cord. Strain on the power cord can
loosen connections and cause arcing.
Risk of short circuit or fire!•
Never expose the remote control or •
batteries to rain, water or excessive
heat.
Avoid force coming onto power •
plugs. Loose power plugs can cause
arcing or fire.
Risk of injury or damage to the TV!•
Two people are required to lift and •
carry a TV that weighs more than
55 lbs.
When stand mounting the TV, use •
only the supplied stand. Secure the
stand to the TV tightly. Place the
TV on a flat, 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
N.V. bears no responsibility for
improper wall mounting that results
in accident, injury or damage.
Risk of injury to children! Follow these •
precautions to prevent the TV from
toppling over and causing injury to
children:
Never place the TV on a surface •
covered by a cloth or other material
that can be pulled away.
Ensure that no part of the TV hangs •
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 confined space. Always leave a space
of at least 4 inches or 10 cm 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.
Never connect the TV to the power
outlet if the voltage is different.

Risk of injury, fire or power cord damage! •
Never place the TV or any objects on the
power cord.
To easily disconnect the TV power cord •
from the power outlet, ensure that you
have full access to the power cord at all
times.
When you disconnect the power cord, •
always pull the plug, never the cable.
Disconnect the TV from the power •
outlet and antenna before lightning
storms. During lightning storms, never
touch any part of the TV, power cord or
antenna cable.
Risk of hearing damage! Avoid using •
earphones or headphones at high
volumes or for prolonged periods of time.
If the TV is transported in temperatures •
below 5°C, unpack the TV and wait
until the TV temperature matches room
temperature before connecting the TV to
the power outlet.
Screen care
Avoid stationary images as much as •
possible. Stationary images are images
that remain on-screen for extended
periods of time. Examples include:
on-screen menus, black bars and time
displays. If you must use stationary
images, reduce screen contrast and
brightness to avoid screen damage.
Unplug the TV before cleaning.•
Clean the TV and frame with a soft, •
damp cloth. Never use substances such as
alcohol, chemicals or household cleaners
on the TV.
Risk of damage to the TV screen! Never •
touch, push, rub or strike the screen with
any object.
To avoid deformations and color fading, •
wipe off water drops as soon as possible.

When turning the TV on/off/to standby, you
hear a creaking sound from the TV chassis:

is normal expansion and contraction of
the TV as it cools and warms up. This
does not impact performance.

selected.

quality by changing the antenna direction

devices:

properly.

Sound issues

HDMI connection issues
There are problems with HDMI devices:

time taken for a TV to display content
from a HDMI device.
If the TV does not recognize the HDMI •
device and no picture is displayed, try
switching the source from one device to
another and back again.
If there are intermittent sound •
disruptions, check that output settings
from the HDMI device are correct.
If a HDMI-to-DVI adaptor or HDMI to •
DVI cable is used, check that an additional
audio cable is connected to AUDIO L/R
or AUDIO IN (mini-jack only).
