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 exces­sive 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 elec­tronic 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 Service - 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;

or

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. Servicing - 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.

Audio/Video 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, comfortable sound.

AutoLock™ allows you to block the viewing of certain channels or pro­grams with certain ratings if you do not want your children to view inap­propriate materials.

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

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

AutoSound™ allows you to select from three factory-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 partic­ular 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 num­ber of channels that 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.

Gemstar Guide Plus+

®

gives the user a listing of current programming
right on the TV screen. Can be used to set recordings of certain programs,
get up to date news bulletins, and much more.

ImageMax™ helps you sharpen the picture quality by making dark por­tions 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 “learn” the remote-control commands of new Philips devices
or multibrand devices that you have connected to your TV. After the com­mands are learned, you can use your TV remote control to operate and
control all of the devices.

M-Link™ 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 digi­tal TV, VCD (video compact disc), and VCR (video cassette recorder)
devices. (IR Blaster must be plugged in before turning the TV ON.)

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 capabil­ity 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.

to 240 minutes) before the TV will
turn itself off.

An onscreen countdown will appear
during the last minute before the
TV shuts itself off.
