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-

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;

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.

Your new television and its packing contain materials that can be recycled and reused. Specialized companies can recycle your product to increase the amount of reusable materials and minimize the amounts that need to be properly disposed.

Your product also uses batteries that should not be thrown away when depleted, but should be handed in and disposed of as small chemical waste.

When you replace your existing equipment, please find out about the local regulations regarding disposal of your old television, batteries, and packing materials.

END-OF-LIFE DISPOSAL

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.

UNDERSTANDING AUTOLOCK™

he AutoLock™ feature 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 programming children may watch.

In the AutoLock™ section, you’ll learn how to block channels and programming that is not rated, is unrated, or has no rating. You will also find out how to turn these blocking features ON or OFF. Following are brief explanations of some terms and ratings related to the AutoLock™ feature.

AutoLock™ offers various Blocking Options from which to choose:

BLOCKING: The BLOCKING control is what can be thought of as the “master switch” for AutoLock™. This control affects the settings you have chosen for blocking programs according to movie ratings or TV ratings, or for blocking programs that have no rating or are unrated. When the BLOCKING control is OFF, the blocking or censoring of programs is disabled. When the BLOCKING control is ON, blocking will occur according to the settings you have chosen.

BLOCK UNRATED: ALL unrated programs will be blocked if this feature is set to ON.

UNRATED programming is encoded with information from the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) or TV broadcasters, but it does not have a specific rating. In other words, the MPAA or the TV broadcasters have chosen not to assign a rating to the programming.

NO RATING: ALL programming with no content advisory data can be blocked if NO RATING is set to ON.

Programming that has No Rating is not encoded with any rating information from the MPAA or the Parental Guidelines. Any programming could fall into this category.

You also can block individual channels or block programming

based on ratings of the MPAA and TV broadcasters. (See a description of the ratings on this page.)

G: General Audience - All ages admitted. Most parents would find this programming suitable for all ages. This type of programming contains little or no violence, no strong language, and little or no sexual dialogue or sexual situations.

PG: Parental Guidance Suggested -

This programming contains material that parents may find unsuitable for younger children. It may contain one or more of the following: Moderate violence, some sexual situations, infrequent coarse language, or some suggestive dialogue.

PG-13: Parents Strongly Cautioned - This programming contains material that parents may find unsuitable for children under the age of 13. It contains one or more of the following: violence, sexual situations, coarse language, or suggestive dialogue.

R: Restricted -This programming is specifically designed for adults. Anyone under the age of 17 should view this programming only with an accompanying parent or adult guardian. It contains one or more of the following: intense violence; intense sexual situations; strong, coarse language; or intensely suggestive dialogue.

NC-17: No one under the age of 17 will be admitted. - This type of programming

should be viewed by adults only. It contains graphic violence; explicit sex; or crude, indecent language.

X: Adults Only - This type of programming contains one or more of the following: very graphic violence, very graphic and explicit or indecent sexual acts, very coarse and intensely suggestive language.

TV-Y: (All children -- This program is designed to be appropriate for all children.) Designed for a very young

audience, including children ages 2-6. This type of programming is not expected to frighten younger children.

AUTOLOCK™– SETTING UP THE ACCESS CODE

NOTE TO PARENTS:

It isn’t possible for your child to unblock a channel without knowing your access code or changing it to a new one. If your code has been changed without your knowledge, then you will become aware that blocked channels may have been viewed.

utoLockTMallows parents to

block out or “censor” any channels they think children should not watch. A channel blocked by the AutoLock

control cannot be viewed until a correct access code is used to unlock the channel for viewing. First, let’s set your AutoLock access code.

Press the MENU button on the remote control to show the onscreen menu.

Press the CURSOR RING

DOWN twice to highlight FEA-

TURES.

Press the CURSOR RING

RIGHT and the menu will shift to the left. Then press the CURSOR RING DOWN once to highlight

the AutoLock control.

Press the CURSOR RING

RIGHT to highlight ACCESS CODE.

Press 0,7,1,1 on the remote

control. INCORRECT will appear

on the screen.

Press 0,7,1,1 on the remote con-

trol again. ENTER NEW CODE

will appear on the screen.

Enter a new four-digit code

using the number buttons. CONFIRM CODE will appear on the screen.

Enter your new four-digit

code again. CORRECT will flash

on the screen briefly and the highlight bar goes back to AutoLock.

Press the STATUS/EXIT but-

ton to remove the menu from the

screen.

Remember that 0711 is the default AutoLockTMcode. If your access code has been changed by someone other than you (a child, for example) or you have forgotten the code, you can always get in by inputting the default code.

PIP – BASIC

CONNECTIONS

icture-In-Picture (PIP) is the

showing of two pictures on the TV screen at the same time (one main screen picture and one small picture, or PIP). For your ease and convenience, this TV has two separate inputs (ANTenna A and PIP ANTenna B) for your home’s Antenna and/or Cable TV system signal.

The ANT A input is primarily for the TV’ s main screen picture. The PIP ANT B input is provided as a second dedicated source option for the TV’s PIP “window” and its feature operations. The signal connected to the PIP ANT B input can be either a split signal input (as described in the section on this page) or another type of external signal source (such as a satellite dish system, additional home antenna, video accessory, etc.).

See the following steps on how channels connected to the PIP ANT(enna) B Input can be shown and used within the PIP window.

Connect your Antenna or

Cable TV signal to the single,

75-ohm input plug on a two-way signal splitter (not supplied).

Connect two lengths of RF coaxial cable (F-type connectors on both ends) to the two output plugs on the two-way signal splitter.

Connect the twin OUTPUT

plugs on the signal splitter to the

ANT A and PIP ANT B inputs on the rear of the TV.

MART HELP

For other possible PIP

connections see the “More Connections” section on pages 50–51.

If you need any accessories or parts to complete the described PIP connections, contact your dealer, or call our Parts Information Center at:

• 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.

• Check antenna connections. Are they properly secured to the TV's ANT A/B 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 SOURCE button on the remote to make sure the correct signal source is selected (AV1 [or CVI], AV2, AV3, or S-VIDEO).

• 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.

• Check the VOLUME buttons.

• Check the MUTE button on the remote control.

• Check the SPEAKER onscreen control. If it is in the OFF position, sound at the set will be eliminated.

• If you’re attempting to hook up auxiliary equipment, check the audio jack connections.

• (If applicable) Check the audio receiver for the correct operating mode.

• 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.

lease make these simple checks

before calling for service. Because charges for TV installation and adjustment of customer controls are not covered under your warranty, these tips can save you time and money.

CAUTION: A video source (such as a video game, compact disc interactive [CDI], or TV information channel) that shows a constant nonmoving pattern on the TV screen can cause picture tube damage. When your TV is continuously used with such a source, the pattern of the nonmoving portion of the game (or other source) can leave a permanent image on the picture tube. When you’re not using the video source, turn it OFF. Also, regularly alternate the use of such video sources with normal TV viewing.

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

• When you are cleaning the TV, take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface (avoid wearing jewelry or using anything abrasive). 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. Use a clean, dry cloth to dry the wiped surfaces.

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

Cleaning and Care

GLOSSARY OF

TELEVISION TERMS

Alternate Channel • The feature that allows you to toggle between the last two channels viewed by pressing the A/CH button on the remote control.

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

Channel Edit • The feature that allows you to add or delete channels from the list of channels 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 • The broadcast standard feature that allows you to read the voice content of television programs on the TV screen. Designed to help the hearing impaired, Closed Captioning uses onscreen “text boxes” to show dialogue and conversations while a TV program is in progress.

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.

Direct Audio/Video Inputs • Connectors, located on the rear of the TV, used for the input of audio and video signals. These inputs are designed for use with VCRs (or other accessories) in order to receive higher picture resolution and offer sound-connection options.

Identify • The method by which a TV remote control searches and finds an operating code for another product (such as a VCR or a cable converter). After the code has been “identified,” the TV remote control can operate and send commands to the other product.

Incredible Stereo (or Surround) • False acoustic management of the audio signal that produces a dramatic expansion of the wall of sound that surrounds the listener and heightens overall viewing pleasure.

Menu • An onscreen listing of feature controls that are available for you to adjust.

Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) • The broadcast standard that allows for stereo sound to be transmitted with the TV picture.

Onscreen Displays (OSD) • The wording or messages generated by the television (or VCR) to help you with specific feature controls (color adjustment or programming, for example).

Picture-in-Picture • The showing of two pictures on the TV screen at the same time (one main screen picture and one small picture, or PIP).

Programming • The process of adding or deleting channel numbers into the television’s memory circuits. Through programming, the TV “remembers” only the locally available or desired channel numbers and skips over any unwanted channel numbers.

Remote Control Sensor Window • The window or opening found on the television control panel and through which infrared remote control command signals are received.

Second Audio Program (SAP) • An additional audio channel provided for within the Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) broadcast standard. The most frequently proposed use for SAP is the simultaneous bilingual broadcast of TV material.

Status/Exit Button • The remote-control function that allows you to quickly confirm what channel number is being viewed. Status/Exit also can be used to clear the television of onscreen displays or information (rather than waiting for the displays to “time out,” or automatically disappear from the screen).

Twin–lead Wire • The more commonly used name for the twostrand, 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 TVs and VCRs.
