Tips
Poor reception
The proximity of mountains or high
buildings may be responsible for ghost
pictures, echoing or shadows. In this case,
try manually adjustingyour picture: see
Fine Tuning (p. 7) or modify the orientation of the outside aerial. Does your
antenna enable you to receive broadcasts
in this frequency range (UHF or VHF
band)? In the event of difficult reception
(snowy picture) switch the NR on the
Picture menu to ON (p. 8).
No picture
If the television does not switch on, press
the standby key
remote control) twice. Have you
connected the aerial socket properly?
Have you chosen the right system? (p. 7).
Poorly connected euroconnector cables
or aerial sockets are often the cause of
picture or sound problems (sometimes
the connectors can become half disconnected if the TV set is moved or turned).
Check all connections.
No sound
If on certain channels you receive a
picture but no sound, this means that you
do not have the correct TV system.
Modify the System setting (p. 7).
Colour patches on screen
Switch off the TV by the mains power
button and wait for about 20 minutes
before switching on again.
Good picture but no sound

Snowish picture and noise
Check antenna connection at the rear of

Horizontal dotted lines
Possible electrical interference e.g.
hairdryer, vacuum cleaner, etc. Switch off
the appliances.
Double or “Ghost” images
Possible poor positioning of antenna.
Using a high directional antenna may
improve reception.

that it has been recorded under the same
standard (PAL, SECAM, NTSC) which can
be replayed by the video recorder.

Glossary
4:3
Refers to the ration between the length and
the height of the screen. Wide screen
televisions have a ration of 16:9 while
conventional televisions have a ratio of 4:3.
4:3 Expand
The images recorded in “letterbox” format
are expanded to fill the entire screen and
the black horizontal bars at the top and
bottom are removed.
Active Control
Is a unique, intelligent, and proactive control
system, which measures and analyzes the
incoming analog signal 60 times per second
to automatically adjust settings for optimal
picture quality.
Component video input (CVI)
Supports advanced video input (such as
DVD) for superb colour purity, crisp colour
detail and reduced colour noise-surpassing
even that of S-Video!
Colour Transient Improver (CTI)
Color signals are processed to bring out
subtle differences resulting in greater depth
and enhanced color definition, as color bleed
between color borders are
eliminated.Therefore, there is an improved
color definition and contrast without
discoloration or blurring.
Luminance Transient Improver (LTI)
A new generation edge-enhancement
technology which is applied directly to the
video processing circuit to increase clarity
and sharpness at the point of transition from
the dark to light areas of the image. As a
result there is an increase clarity and
sharpness especially between dark and light
areas of an image.
Contrast+
enhances the darker portions of the picture
to improve its picture quality.
Personal Zapping
A Philips trade marked feature which allows
any combination of favourite teletext pages
or TV channels to be stored in the coloured
Favourite Channels/Teletext keys. A total of
10 preferred channels/teletext pages of the
same subject or user can be stored in each
coloured key.
Scan Velocity Modulation (SVM)
It is an innovative circuit design to enhance
edge details by varying the speed of the
electron beam. It dramatically improves
overall definition and contrast without any
discoloration or blurring.
S-VHS Signals
These are 2 separate Y/C video signals from
the S-VHS and Hi-8 recording standards. The
luminanace signals Y (Black and white) and
chrominance signals C (colour) are recorded
separately on the tape. This provides better
picture quality than with standard video (VHS
and 8 mm) where the Y/C signals are
combined to provide only one video signal.
System
Television pictures are not broadcast in the
same way in all countries. There are different
standards: BG, DK, I, NTSC and SECAM. The
system setting (p. 5) is used to select these
different standards.
