larly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table

specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the app-

aratus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving

the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for

long periods of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is

required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

15. This product may contain lead and mercury. Disposal of these

materials may be regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance: www.eiae.org

20. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connect-

ed 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. 701984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure below.

21. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects

do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.

our Cable TV input into your home may

be a single (75 ohm) cable. If so, this connection is very simple. Follow the steps below to connect your cable signal to your new television.

Direct Cable Connections:

Connect the open end of the round Cable Company supplied cable to the

75Ω input on the TV. Screw it down finger tight.

combination antenna receives normal broadcast channels (VHF 2–13 and

UHF 14–69). Your connection is easy because there is only one 75Ω (ohm) antenna plug on the back of your TV, and that’s where the antenna goes.

If your antenna has a round cable

(75 ohm) on the end, then you're ready to connect it to the TV.

If your antenna has flat, twin-lead wire (300 ohm), you first need to

attach the antenna wires to the screws on a 300- to 75-ohm adapter.

Push the round end of the adapter (or antenna) onto the 75Ω (ohm) plug on the back of the TV. If the round end of the antenna wire is threaded, screw it down finger tight.

he AutoLock™ feature is an integrat-

ed circuit that receives and processes data sent by broadcasters, or other program providers, that contain program content advisories. When programmed by the viewer, a TV with AutoLock™ can respond to the content advisories and block program content that may be found objectionable (such as offensive language, violence, sexual situations, etc.). This is a great feature to censor the type of viewing children may watch.

Over the next few pages you’ll learn how to block channels and certain rated pro-

gramming. Below is a brief explanation of some terms and ratings you will find in the AutoLock feature.

AutoLock™ offers various BLOCKING controls from which to choose:

Access Code: An Access Code must be set

to prevent children from unblocking questionable programming.

Channel Block: Individual channels including the A/V inputs can be blocked.

Clear All: Allows you clear all channels being blocked from your viewing set with the Channel Block Control.

Block All: Allows you to block ALL channels and A/V inputs at one time.

Movie Ratings: Block programming based on ratings patterned by the Motion Pictures Association of America.

TV Ratings: Block programming based on standard TV ratings set by TV broadcasters.

To learn more about the Motion Picture Ratings and the TV Ratings, refer to the definitions listed on the columns to the right.

“list” or series of previously viewed

channels can be selected with the QuadraSurf™ (colored) buttons on your remote control. With this feature you can easily switch between different TV programs that currently interest you. The QuadraSurf™ control allows you set up four different personal Surf lists using the colored buttons (on the remote control), each holding up to ten channels in its quick viewing“list.”

Press the CHANNEL (+) or (–) buttons (or the NUMBER buttons) to

select a channel to add to one of the SURF lists.

Press the SMILEY button on the remote control to ADD the channel to one of the SURF lists.

Press the corresponding COLORED (Red, Green, Yellow or Blue) button

to add the channel to that button’s Surf list. (Up to ten channels per button can be stored.)

Repeat steps 1 through 3 to add additional channels (up to 10) to each of the the SURF lists.

To r emove a channel from one of the SURF lists;

Press the COLORED QuadraSurf™ button until the desired channel

appears. The screen will display the channel number with a colored “Smiley” face to indicate the Colored button it relates to.

While the “Smiley” face channel indicator is displayed, press the FROWNIE face button. The

screen will read, “Remove item? Press .”

Press the FROWNIE face button again to confirm your decision to

remove the channel from the Surf list.

he QuadraSurf™ buttons on your remote

control allow you to store up to 10 channels per button (40 total). This is a great feature if you want to store all your favorite Sports channels, Movie channels, or News channels in one surf list. Family members can have there own favorite list of channels. You can even program the external A/V Input jacks (Front channel) for one of the buttons making it a “source” button for your external accessory devices.

Assuming channels have now been added to the four QuadraSurf™ lists (the four colored buttons on the remote, see the previous page), let’s review how the feature works.

Press one of the pre-programmed COLORED buttons on the remote

(Red, Green, Yellow or Blue). The screen will display a smiley face with the first programmed channel for that surf list.

While the colored “smiley” face still appears on the screen, press the same COLORED button on the remote to

tune the second channel programmed for that specific surf list.

Repeatedly pressing the same COLORED button while the “smiley” face

appears will tune all the programmed channels for that specific surf list. After the last channel is tuned, pressing the COLORED button again will return you to the first channel in the list.

If the “smiley” face disappears from the screen and the same COLORED button is pressed, the surf channels will be displayed starting with the FIRST programmed channel again.

Repeat steps 1-3 for the other three COLORED buttons (Surf lists) if desired.

Any time the “smiley” face appears with the channel number, pressing the “frownie” face button will allow you to remove it from the list (see the previous page for more details).

TROUBLESHOOTING

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING Concerning Stationary Images on the TV Screen:

Do not leave stationary or letterbox images on screen for extended periods of time. This can cause uneven picture-tube aging.

Normal use of the TV should involve the showing of pictures that contain constantly moving and changing images that fill the screen. Be careful not to leave nonmoving images on screen for extended periods of time, or to display the same images on screen too frequently, because subtle ghost images can be left on the picture tubes. Sources of stationary images may be DVD disks, laser disks, video games, CD-i disks, videotapes, digital television boxes, broadcast channels, cable channels, satellite channels, and others. Here are some examples of stationary

images (this is not an all-inclusive list; you may encounter others in your viewing):

• DVD menus—listings of DVD disk content

• Letterbox black bars—shown at the top and bottom of the

TV screen when a wide screen (16:9) movie is viewed on a TV with standard (4:3) aspect ratio.

• Video-game images and scoreboards

• Television station logos—present a problem if they are

bright and stationary; moving or low-contrast graphics are less likely to cause uneven aging of the picture tube

• Stock-market tickers—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.

LACEMENT OF THE TV

•To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and increased chance of set failure, do not place the TV where temperatures can become excessively hot; for example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance.

• Be sure to allow a free flow of air to and from the perforated back cover of the set.

CLEANING

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

• Regularly dust the TV with a dry, nonscratching duster to keep the TV clean.

• When cleaning the TV, take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface. Avoid wearing jewelry or using anything abrasive. Do not use household cleaners. 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 and a mild soap or detergent. Use a clean, dry cloth to dry the wiped surfaces.

• Occasionally vacuum the ventilation holes or slots in the back cover of the set.

• Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as they might cause permanent marring of the cabinet finish.

No Power

• 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 used.

No Picture

• Check antenna connections. Are they properly secured to the TV's ANT 75Ω 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 (FRONT or Current Channel).

No Sound

• Check the VOLUME buttons.

• Check the MUTE button on the remote control.

• If you’re attempting to hook up auxiliary equipment, check the audio jack connections located on the front of the TV.

Remote Does Not Work

• 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.

TV Displays Wrong Channel or No Channels Above 13

• 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.

Auto Programming • The procedure of adding or deleting channel numbers into the Television’s memory circuits. In this way the Television “remembers’’ only the locally available or desired channel numbers and skips over any unwanted channel numbers.

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.

Closed Caption • Broadcast standard which allows you to read the voice content of television programs on the TV screen. Designed to help the hearing impaired this feature uses onscreen "text boxes" to show dialogue and conversations while the TV program is in progress.

Side Audio/Video Inputs • Located on the side of the TV these connectors (phono type plug) are used for the input of audio and video signals. Designed for easy use with VCRs or cameras.

On Screen Displays (OSD) • Refers to the wording or mes- sages generated by the television (or VCR) to help the user with specific feature controls (color adjustment, programming, etc.).

Menu • An on-screen listing of feature controls shown on the Television screen that are made available for user adjustments.

Quadra Surf • The feature that allows the programming of four separate Surf lists holding up to 10 channels each.

Remote Sensor Window • Awindow or opening found on the Television control panel through which infrared remote control command signals are received.

Status/Exit • Allows the user to quickly confirm what channel number is currently being viewed. Status can also be used to clear the Television of on screen displays or information (rather than waiting for the displays to “time out” or automatically disappear from the screen).

Surf • The action of scanning specific channel in a limited channel list.

Twin Lead Wire • The more commonly used name for the two strand 300 Ohm antenna wire used with many indoor and outdoor 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 Televisions and VCRs.

Tuner Mode • Feature control settings made by the TV. Designed for first time set up and use. Settings for signal connections (antenna or cable TV), plus channel program memory are held in the TV's memory (even if the set is unplugged and moved to a new location.)

LIMITED WARRANTY

COLOR TELEVISION

90 Days Free Labor

One Year Free Replacement of Parts (Two Years Free Replacement on Color Picture Tube)

This product can be repaired in-home.

WHO IS COVERED?

You must have proof of purchase to receive warranty service. A sales receipt or other document showing that you purchased the product is considered proof of purchase.

WHAT IS COVERED?

Warranty coverage begins the day you buy your product. For 90 days thereafter, all parts will be repaired or replaced free, and labor is free.

From 90 days to one year from the day of purchase, all parts will be repaired or replaced free, but you pay for all labor charges. From one to two years from the day of purchase, you pay for the replacement or repair of all parts except the picture tube, and for all labor charges. After two years from the day of purchase, you pay for the replacement or repair of all parts, and for all labor charges.

All parts, including repaired and replaced parts, are covered only for the original warranty period. When the warranty on the product expires, the warranty on all replaced and repaired parts also expires.

WHAT IS EXCLUDED?

Your warranty does not cover:

• labor charges for installation or setup of the product, adjustment of customer controls on the product, and installation or repair of antenna systems outside of the product.

• product repair and/or part replacement because of misuse, accident, unauthorized repair or other cause not within the control of Philips Consumer Electronics Company.

• reception problems caused by signal conditions or cable or antenna systems outside the unit.

•a product that requires modification or adaptation to enable it to operate in any country other than the country for which it was designed, manufactured, approved and/or authorized, or repair of products damaged by these modifications.

• incidental or consequential damages resulting from the product. (Some states do not allow the exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusion may not apply to you. This includes, but is not limited to, prerecorded material, whether copyrighted or not copyrighted.)

• a product used for commercial or institutional purposes.

WHERE IS SERVICE AVAILABLE?

Warranty service is available in all countries where the product is officially distributed by Philips Consumer Electronics Company. In countries where Philips Consumer Electronics Company does not distribute the product, the local Philips service organization will attempt to provide service (although there may be a delay if the appropriate spare parts and technical manual(s) are not readily available).

MAKE SURE YOU KEEP...

Please keep your sales receipt or other document showing proof of purchase. Attach it to this owner’s manual and keep both nearby. Also keep the original box and packing material in case you need to return your product.

BEFORE REQUESTING SERVICE...

Please check your owner’s manual before requesting service. Adjustments of the controls discussed there may save you a service call.
