Features

AudioMdeo Jack Panel allows direct connections with VCRs, DVDs, or

other devices, providing quality TV picture and sound playback. Audio Volume Leveler (AVL) Control keeps the TV sound at an even

level. Peaks and valleys that occur during program changes or commercial breaks are reduced, making for a more consistent, eomfortable sound.

AutoChron™ automatieally sets the right time of day and maintains it with digital precision through brownouts, power failures, and even Daylight Savings Time adjustments.

AutoLock™ allows you to block the viewing of certain channels or pro grams with certain ratings if you do not want your children to view inap propriate materials.

Auto Programming scans (when activated) for all available channels from regular antenna or cable signals and stores only active broadcast sta tions in the TV’s memory.

AutoPicture™ allows you to change the picture settings (color, tint, con trast, etc.) for various t^es of programming, such as sports, movies, multimedia (games), or weak signals with the push of one button.

AutoSound^** allows you to select from three factoiy-set controls and a personal control that you set according to your own preferences through the onscreen Sound menu. The three factory-set controls (Voice, Music, and Theatre) enable you to tailor the TV sound so as to enhance the partic

ular programming you are watching.

Channel Edit allows you to add or delete channels from the list stored in the TV’s memory. Channel Edit makes it easy to limit or expand the num ber of channels Aat are available to you when you press the Channel (+) or (-) buttons on your remote control.

Closed Captioning allows the viewer to read TV program dialogue or voice conversations as onscreen text.

ImageMax’"'“ helps you sharpen the picture quality by making dark por tions of the picture darker and light portions brighter.

Infrared Remote Control works your TV and other remote-controlled

devices, such as VCRs, DVD players, cable converters, and satellite receivers.

Infrared Remote (IR) Blaster works with the M-Link feature to enable your TV to “leam” the remote-control commands of new Philips devices or multibrand devices that you have connected to your TV. After the com mands are learned, you can use your TV remote control to operate and

control all of die devices.

M-Llnk™ allows you to convert your TV into a home-cinema control center composed of up to six devices (including an audio amplifier). You

activate the devices by pressing macro buttons and control the devices by

pressing “hot” buttons on your remote control. Choose from cable box,

digital set top box, DVD (digital video disc), laser disc (LD), satellite digi

tal TV, VCD (video compact disc), and VCR (video cassette recorder)

devices. Onscreen Menu shows helpful messages and instructions for setting TV

feature controls (can be viewed in English, French, or Spanish). Sleep Timer automatically turns the TV OFF after a set amount of time

that you choose.

Standard Broadcast (VHF/UHF) or Cable TV (CATV) channel c^ability allows for viewing by antenna or cable.

Stereo capability, including a built-in audio amplifier and twin-speaker system, allows for the reception of TV programs broadcast in stereo sound.

Surf Button allows you to easily switch among only the channels that are of interest to you (the ones that you have programmed into the TV’s Surf control through the onscreen menu).

Timer allows you to set your TV to turn itself ON and OFF once or daily like an alarm clock.

ture to censor the type of program

ming children may watch.

In the AutoLock™ section, you’ll learn how to block channels and pro gramming that is not rated, is unrat ed, or has no rating. You will also fmd out how to turn these blocking features ON or OFF. Following are brief explanations of some terms and ratings related to the AutoLock™ feature.

AutoLock™ offers various Blocking Options from which to choose:

BLOCKING: The BLOCKING con

trol is what can be thought of as the

“master switch” for AutoLock™. This control affects the settings you have chosen for blocking programs

according to movie ratings or TV

ratings, or for blocking programs

that have no rating or are unrated.

When the BLOCKING control is

OFF, the blocking or censoring of programs is disabled. When the

BLOCKING control is ON, blocking will occur according to the settings you have chosen.

BLOCK UNRATED: ALL unrated

programs will be blocked if this fea

ture is set to ON.

UNRATED programming is encoded

with information from the MPAA

(Motion Picture Association of America) or TV broadcasters, but it does not have a specific rating. In

other words, the MPAA or the TV

broadcasters have chosen not to

assign a rating to the programming.

NO RATING: ALL programming

with no content advisor data can be blocked if NO RATING is set to

ON.

Programming that has No Rating is

not encoded with any rating infor mation from the MPAA or the Parental Guidelines. Any program ming could fall into this category.

You also can block individual channels or block programming based on ratings of the MPAA and TV broadcasters. (See a description of the ratings on this page.)

lease make these simple checks before calling for service.

Because charges for TV installa tion and adjustment of customer

controls are not covered under your warranty, these tips can save you time and money.

No Power

No Picture

No Sound

CAUTION: A video source (such as a video game, compact disc interactive [CDI], or TV information channel) that shows a constant nonmoving pattern on the TV screen can cause picture tube damage. When your TV is continuously used with such a source, the pattern of the nonmoving portion of the game (or other source) can leave a permanent image on the picture tube. When you’re not using the video source, turn it OFF. Also, regularly alternate the use of such video sources with normal TV viewing.

Check the TV power cord. Unplug the TV, wait 10 seconds, then reinsert the plug into the outlet and push the POWER button again. Check that the outlet is not on a wall switch. Be sure the fuse is not blown on the AC power strip, if one is being iwed.

Check antenna connections. Are they properly secured to the TV's ANT 75i2 plug? Check the TUNER MODE control for the correct tuner setting. Try running the Auto Program feature to find all available channels.

Press the AV button on the remote to make sure the correct signal source is selected (AV 1 [or CVI], AV 2, AV 3, or S-VIDEO).

Check the VOLUME buttons. Check the MUTE button on the remote control. Check the SPEAKER onscreen control. If it is in the OFF position, sound at the set will be eliminated. If you’re attempting to hook up auxiliary equipment, check the audio jack connections. (If applicable) Check the audio receiver for the correct operating mode.

Cleaning and Care

• Check the batteries. If necessary, replace them with AA Heavy Duty (Zinc Chloride) or Alkaline batteries.

• Clean the remote control and the remote control sensor window on the TV.

• Check the TV power cord. Unplug the TV, wait 10 seconds, then reinsert the plug into

the outlet and push the POWER button again.

• Be sure the fuse is not blown on the AC power strip, if one is being used.

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

’ Repeat channel selection. ' Add the desired channel numbers (using the CHANNEL EDIT control) into the TV’s

memory.

Check to be sure the TUNER MODES are set to the CABLE option and run the Auto Program feature to find all available channels.

To avoid possible shock hazard, be sure the TV is unplugged from the electrical outlet before cleaning.

When you are cleaning the TV, 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.

Glossary of Television Terms

Alternate Channel • The feature that allows you to toggle between the last two channels viewed by pressing the A/CH but ton on the remote control.

Auto Programming • The feature that, when activated, scans for all available channels from regular antenna or cable signals and stores only active broadcast stations in the TV’s memory.

Channel Edit * The feature that allows you to add or delete channels from the list of channels stored in the TV’s memory. Channel Edit makes it easy to limit or expand the number of channels that are available to you when you press the Channel (+) or (-) buttons on your remote control.

Closed Captioning • The broadcast standard feature that allows you to read the voice content of television programs on the TV screen. Designed to help the hearing impaired. Closed Captioning uses onscreen “text boxes” to show dialogue and conversations while a TV program is in progress.

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.

Direct AudioA^ideo Inputs • Connectors, located on the rear of

the TV, used for the input of audio and video signals. These

inputs are designed for use with VCRs (or other accessories) in order to receive higher picture resolution and offer sound-con nection options.

Identify • The method by which a TV remote control searches and finds an operating code for another product (such as a VCR or a cable converter). After the code has been “identified,” the

TV remote control can operate and send commands to the other product.

Incredible Stereo (or Surround) «False acoustic management of the audio signal that produces a dramatic expansion of the wall of sound that surrounds the listener and heightens overall viewing pleasure.

Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) * The broadcast stan dard that allows for stereo sound to be transmitted with the TV

picture.

Onscreen Displays (OSD) • The wording or messages generated by the television (or VCR) to help you with specific feature con trols (color adjustment or programming, for example).

Picture-in-Picture • The showing of two pictures on the TV screen at the same time (one main screen picture and one small picture, or PIP).

Programming • The process of adding or deleting channel num bers into the television’s memory circuits. Through program ming, the TV “remembers” only the locally available or desired channel numbers and skips over any unwanted channel numbers.

Remote Control Sensor Window • The window or opening found on the television control panel and through which infrared remote control command signals are received.

Second Audio Program (SAP) • An additional audio channel provided for within the Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) broadcast standard. The most frequently proposed use for SAP is the simultaneous bilingual broadcast of TV material.

Status/Exit Button ' The remote-control function that allows you to quickly confirm what channel number is being viewed.

Status/Exit

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 twostrand, 300-ohm antenna wire used with many indoor and out door 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 TVs and VCRs.

also can be used to clear the television of onscreen
