Philips 28PW9527, 32PW9527 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.

General Points

Please take note of the section 'Tips' at the end of this booklet.

Interference

The Department of Trade and Industry operates a Radio Interference Investigation Service to help TV license holders improve
reception of BBC 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

This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug.
To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows :

1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.

2. Fit new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A,A.S.T.A. or BSI approved 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 x at the back of the set. An inferior aerial is likely to result in a poor,
perhaps unstable picture with ghost images and lack of contrast. Make-shift or set-top aerials are unlikely to give adequate results.
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 you consult your dealer on the best method of connection.

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.

which adds astonishing sharpness and a total absence of visible picture lines.
Motion compensation reduces jitter and offers smooth, yet sharp motion
reproduction.

The system has already been configured in the factory to work properly. In rare
circumstances, interference from external RF (wireless) equipments such as RF
headphones, mobile phones or remote controls for lights, may occur.Then it
may be necessary to shift to another wireless channel.

Important: Always be sure that the active surround speaker (A) and the

Wireless surround setting are switched to the same transmitting channel.
Otherwise no sound or only a distorted sound will be heard on the surround
speakers.

• Select

FM transmitter and select the correct type of transmitter, 864 MHz or

433 MHz, valid for the country where you are now located.

When the TV is tuned to a channel in the neighbourhood of 864 MHz (alternatively
433 MHz), the transmitter is switched off because no RF surround sound is possible.
This is necessary to avoid interfered picture.

In rare cases, when no RF surround sound is possible or when there is too
much interference, use the wired back up solution with a 3.5 mm stereo jack.
In this case select

Tips

Care of the screen

Clean the TV with a slightly damp soft
cloth. Do not use abrasive solvent as it
can damage the TV screen.

Mobile telephone warning !

To avoid disturbances in picture and
sound, malfunctioning of your TV or even
damage to the TV, keep away your mobile
telephone from the TV.

Poor Picture

• Have you selected the correct TV
system?

• Is your TV or house aerial located too
close to loudspeakers, non-earthed
audio equipment or neon lights, etc.?

• Mountains or high buildings can cause
double pictures or ghost images.
Sometimes you can improve the picture
quality by changing the direction of the
aerial.

• Is the picture or teletext
unrecognisable? Check if you have
entered the correct frequency. See
Installation, p. 8.

• Are brightness, sharpness and contrast
out of adjustment? Select Factory
settings in the Setup menu, p. 10.

• Sometimes poor picture quality is
possible when having activated an S-VHS
camera or camcorder connected to the
right side of your TV and another
peripheral is connected to

EXT1, EXT2

or EXT3 at the same time. In this case
switch off one of the other peripherals.

No picture

• Is the aerial connected properly?

• Are the plugs tightly connected in the

aerial socket?

• Is the aerial cable in good condition and
does it have suitable plugs?

• Are the connection facilities to a possible
second TV in good condition? If in doubt,
consult your dealer.

No sound

• No sound on any channel? Check the
volume isn’t at minimum.

• Is the sound interrupted with the mute
key ¬? Check if your speaker
configuration corresponds with the
selections made in the Setup menu,
Speakers, p. 9. E.g. is your amplifier
switched on when you have 2 extra
front speakers connected?

• No sound from the rear speakers or
the centre speakers? Select an
appropriate surround mode, according
to the broadcasted sound signal or
adjust the volume or check if the
wireless transmitter is properly
connected. See Surround Modes, p. 13.

No Surround sound

• Check if the headphone is not plugged
in.

• Check if the channel is broadcasting
good quality surround sound.

Remote control

• If your TV no longer responds to the

remote control, the batteries may be
dead or the wrong mode (TV or other

peripheral, see p. 3) is selected.

• You can still use the M key and
the -/+ keys at the top of your TV.

Wireless Surround speaker system

• Are the active surround speaker and the
Surround Sound setting in the Setup
menu switched to the same transmitting
channel?

• External RF equipment, mobile
telephones or people moving around
close to the TV may disturb the sound
transmission.

• When no RF surround sound is
possible, or when there is too much
interference, try to switch to another
wireless channel or use the wired back
up solution. See Connect extra
loudspeakers/amplifier, p. 20.

• When you switch to another wireless
channel, take care to select the same
transmitting channel as well in the setup
menu as on the speaker box.

• For wireless transmitter modules with a
built in antenna: direct the antenna to
achieve the best reception.

No solution

Switch your TV off and then on again
once.

Never attempt to repair a defective
TV yourself.

Check with your dealer or call a TV
technician.
