Philips 23HF5474 User Manual

Information for users in the UK (not applicable outside the UK)

Positioning the TV

For the best results, choose a position where light does not fall directly on the screen, and at some
distance away from radiators or other sources of heat. Leave a space of at least 5 cm all around the
TV for ventilation, making sure that curtains, cupboards etc. cannot obstruct the air flow through the
ventilation apertures. The TV is intended for use in a domestic environment only and should never be
operated or stored in excessively hot or humid atmospheres.

Interference

The Department of Trade and Industry operates a Radio Interference Investigation Service to help
TV license holders improve reception of BBS and IBA programmes where they are being spoilt by
interference.
If your dealer cannot help, ask at a main Post Office for the booklet “How to Improve Television and
Radio Reception”.

Mains Connection

Before connecting the TV to the mains, check that the mains supply voltage corresponds to the
voltage printed on the type plate on the rear panel of the TV. If the mains voltage is different, consult
your dealer.

Important

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.

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, make contact with your retailer in order to verify the correct type.

3. Refit the fuse cover

In order to maintain conformity to the EMC directive, the mains plug on this product must not be
removed.

Connecting the aerial

The aerial should be connected to the socket marked
likely to result in a poor, perhaps unstable picture with ghost images and lack of contrast. Make-shift
loft or set-top aerials are often inadequate. Your dealer will know from experience the most suitable
type for your locality.
Should you wish to use the set in conjunction with other equipment, which connects to the aerial
socket such as TV games, or a video camera it is recommended that these be connected via a
combiner unit to avoid repeated connection and disconnection of the aerial plug.

Fitting the stand (if provided)

Use only the stand provided with the set, making sure that the fixings are properly tightened. A
diagram showing how to assemble the stand is packed with the stand. Never use a make-shift stand,
or legs fixed with woodscrews.

Do not touch, push or rub or strike the screen with anything hard as this may scratch, mar or
damage the screen permanently. Do not rub with dust clothes with chemical treatment. Do not
touch the surface with bare hands or greasy cloth (some cosmetics are detrimental to the screen).
Unplug the TV before cleaning the screen. When the surface becomes dusty, please wipe gently
with absorbent cotton or other soft materials like chamois soaks. Do not use acetone, toluene and
alcohol because they cause chemical damage.
Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Wipe off saliva or water drops as soon as possible.
Their long time contact with the screen causes deformations and colour fading.

A characteristic of Plasma Display Panels is that displaying the same image for a long time can
cause a permanent after-image to remain on the screen. This is called phosphor burn in. Normal
use of the TV should involve the showing of pictures that contain constantly moving and
changing images that fill the screen.

As this product processes in VGA/DVI mode, some diagonal lines may be seen under
circumstances of environmental interference. This will not affect the computer signal
performance that displays in VGA/DVI mode.
