1 About this User Manual

This manual contains all information you will need to initially install and operate your new TV. Also read the help text which are being displayed at the bottom of the screen.

If this instruction manual does not give an

answer or if ‘Troubleshooting’ does not solve your TV problem, you can call your Local Philips Customer or Service Centre. See the supplied Worldwide guarantee booklet. Please have the Model and Product number (which you can find at the back or the bottom of your television set or on the packaging) ready, before calling the Philips customer support service.

1.1 Digital BroadcastingBroadcasting

Next to analogue broadcast reception, your TV has a built-in TV tuner which receives, decodes and displays digital terrestrial signals.

1.2 Analogue Broadcasting

When your area is not broadcasting digital terrestrial signals, the TV will only receive analogue channels.

When on a frequency where a DVB signal is broadcasted, the tuner will try to decode an analogue TV channel and hence will not show video.

Digital TV and radio channels are only available and reproduced:

• when Digital Video Broadcasting Terrestrial

(DVB-T) is applicable in your local area;

• and if DVB-T signal is supported by your TV

for the country you live in. See

www.philips.com/support for the list of

supported countries.

2 Important

2.1 General Do not insert the power plug in a wall socket or hang the TV to the wall before all connections are made.

• Place or hang the TV wherever you want, but

make sure that air can circulate freely through the ventilation slots.

• Do not install the TV in a confined space such

as a book case or a similar unit.

• To prevent any fire hazards, no naked flame

sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed near the TV.

• Avoid heat, direct sunlight and exposure to

rain or water.

2.2 Care of the screen

• Do not touch, push or rub or strike the

screen with anything hard as this may scratch or damage the screen permanently.

• 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 wipe gentlyWhen the surface becomes dusty wipe gently

with absorbent cotton or other soft material like chamois soaks.

• Do not remove the protective sheet until youDo not remove the protective sheet until you

have completed the stand/wall mounting and connections. Please handle with care.

• Use only soft cloth provided to clean theUse only soft cloth provided to clean the

glossy black front of the TV.

• Wipe off water droplets as soon as possible.

Their long time contact with the screen causes deformations and colour fading.

2.3 Stationary images on the TV

A characteristic of LCD and Plasma 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. Examples of stationary images (this is not an

all-inclusive list, you may encounter others in your viewing):

• TV and DVD menus: listings of DVD disk content;

• Black bars: when black bars appear at the left and right side of the screen, it is recommended to change to a picture format so that the picture fills the entire screen;

• TV channel logo: present a problem if they are bright and stationary. Moving or low-contrast graphics are less likely to cause uneven aging of the screen;

• Stock market stickers: presented at the bottom of the TV screen;

• Shopping channel logos and pricing displays: bright and shown constantly or repeatedly in the same location on the TV screen.

Examples of still pictures also include logos,

computer images, time display, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode, static images or characters, etc.

Tip

Reduce contrast and brightness when viewing.

2.4 Electric, Magnetic and

Electromagnetic Fields (“EMF”)

• Philips Royal Electronics manufactures and

sells many products targeted at consumers, which, like any electronic apparatus, in general have the ability to emit and receive electro magnetic signals.

• One of Philips’ leading Business Principles is to

take all necessary health and safety measures for our products, to comply with all applicable legal requirements and to stay well within the EMF standards applicable at the time of producing the products.

• Philips is committed to develop, produce and

market products that cause no adverse health effects.

• Philips confirms that if its products are handled

properly for their intended use, they are safe to use according to scientific evidence available today.

• Philips plays an active role in the development

of international EMF and safety standards, enabling Philips to anticipate further developments in standardisation for early

integration in its products.

3 Before you start

Warning

Do not insert the mains cord into the mains at the bottom of the TV and in a wall socket or hang the TV on the wall before all connections are made.

Before you switch on your TV, connect all your peripheral equipment. See 'To make video and audio connections', p. 43.

3.1 Overview of the rear connector panel

There is a wide range of audio and video equipment that can be connected to your TV. See 'To make video and audio connections', p. 43.

EXT1 can handle CVBS, RGB and Audio L/R; EXT2 can handle CVBS, S-VIDEO, RGB and

Audio L/R;

EXT3 can handle YPbPr, RGB H/V and Audio L/R; HDMI 1 and 2. Supported video formats: 480i, 480p, 576i,

576p, 720p, 1080i.

Warning

Disconnect all power sources before making any connections.

Tip

It is preferable to connect peripherals with RGB output to EXT1 or EXT2 as RGB provides a better picture quality.

3.2 Common Interface Slot

Warning

Switch off your TV before any module is inserted in the Common Interface slot.

Note

This functionality is only available in certain countries.

To receive scrambled DTV signals you will need a CA (Conditional Access) module and a Smart card provided by the service provider.

• A CA module can enable additional services,

for example Pay TV. Contact your Common Interface service provider to get more information about these modules.

• Although CA module types may vary

dependent on the manufacturer, each one of the CA modules supports a certain kind of encryption system. Your TV supports CA modules to work with the DVB-T standard. Note that a smart card may only be valid for a single broadcast channel.

• CA modules and smart cards are neither

supplied nor optional accessories from Philips. The CA module is responsible for the messages and texts on screen. In case of failure or strange behaviour, you must call your CI service broadcaster.

Insert a CA module

Insert the specified Conditional Access

module into the Common Interface slot as far as it will go. It may take a few minutes before the CA module is activated and service information is downloaded.

3.4 Keys at the side of the TV

In case your remote control is lost or broken, apart from channel selection and volume adjustment, you can still change some of the basic settings with the keys at the side of your TV.

Warning

When you connect the CA module incorrectly, it may damage the card and the TV. After inserting a card, leave it in the slot permanently. Do not remove it from the slot unless asked to do so. For example, your card has to be in the slot when your CI service broadcaster wants to download new information to the smart card. Once the CA module is removed, your TV will no longer decode scrambled digital DVB-T channels.

To access common interface applications, see TV menu, Adjust feature menu settings, Common Interface, p. 24.

3.3 Overview of the side connector panel

• To connect a camera, camcorder or game,

see To make video and audio connections,

p. 43.

• To connect a headphone, see To make video

and audio connections, p. 43.

• To connect a USB device, see 'Multimedia

browser', p. 37.

• Press the power switch B to switch the TV

on or off.

The MENU key can be used to call up the TV

menu without the remote control.

• Use:

- the VOLUME - and + keys and the PROGRAM - and + keys to select menu

items;

- the MENU key to confirm your selection.

3.5 Light indicator on the TV

Auto format makes the picture fill the screen as much as possible. In case of subtitles in the bottom black bar, Auto format makes the subtitles visible. In case of a broadcaster logo in the corner of the top black bar, the logo disappears from the screen. Super zoom removes the black bars on the sides of 4:3 programmes with minimal distortion. When in Movie Expand 14:9, Movie Expand 16:9 or Super zoom screen format, you can make subtitles visible with the o or œ key.

Note With HD sources not all picture formats will be available.
