•ALWAYS make sure that the wall or ceiling where you are mounting the television is appropriate. Some mounts are not designed to be mounted to walls and ceilings with steel studs or cinder block construction. If you are unsure, contact a professional installer.

•Televisions can be heavy. A minimum of two people is required for a wall or ceiling mount installation.

MOVING AN OLDER TELEVISION TO A NEW PLACE IN YOUR HOME

•ALWAYS place your older CRT television on furniture that is sturdy and appropriate for its size and weight.

•NEVER place your older CRT television on a dresser where children may be tempted to use the drawers to climb.

Note

•If you have any question about the DTV’s antenna, visit www.antennaweb.org for further information.

•Depending on your antenna system, you may need different types of combiners (mixers) or separators (splitters) for HDTV signal. The minimum RF bandpass on these devices is 2,000MHz or 2GHz.

•For your safety and to avoid damage to this unit, please unplug the RF coaxial cable from the antenna Input jack before moving the unit.

•If you did use an antenna to receive Analog TV, it should also work for DTV reception. Outdoor or attic antennas will be more effective than a set-top box or inside antenna.

•To Turn On your reception source easily between antenna and cable, install an antenna selector.

•If you are not receiving a signal from your cable service, contact the Cable provider.

•Only the left loudspeaker reproduces sound for mono equipment. Use a mono to stereo adapter (not supplied) for sound reproduction via all internal loudspeakers.

Plugging in the AC power cord

Make sure that the AC power cord must be plugged to an AC outlet after all the necessary connections are made.

Caution

•Do not connect the AC power cord to a power supply outside the indicated voltage of this unit (AC 120V).

•Connecting the AC power cord to a power supply outside of this range may result in fire, smoke, unit failure or electrical shock.

Note

•Each time you plug in the AC power cord, no operations will be performed for a few seconds. This is not a malfunction.

No supplied cables are used with these connections:

• Please purchase the necessary cables at your local store.

Before you connect AC power cord:

Be sure other devices are connected properly before plugging in the AC power cord.

Selecting your connection quality

HDMI - Highest quality

Supports high-definition Digital signals and gives highest picture and sound quality. Video and audio signals are combined in one cable. You must use HDMI for full high-definition video and to enable Philips EasyLink (HDMI CEC).

Note

•Philips HDMI supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection). HDCP is a form of Digital Rights Management that protects high definition content in Blu-ray discs or DVDs.

•The HDMI-ARC connector on the TV features HDMI-ARC functionality. This allows output of TV Audio to an HDMI-ARC-compliant device.

Component (Y Pb Pr) - High quality

Supports high-definition Analog signals but gives lower picture quality than HDMI. Component (Y/Pb/Pr) Video cables combine red / green / blue video cables with red / white audio (L/R) cables. Match the cable colors when you connect to the TV.

Composite - Basic quality

For analog connections. Composite Video / Audio Analog cable usually combine a yellow video cable with red / white audio (L/R) cables. With this unit, yellow cable must be connected to Y (green) jack of Component Video Input jacks.
