IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read before operating equipment
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with a dry cloth.
7. Do not block any of the ventilation openings. Install in accordance
with the manufacturers instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat regis-
ters, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce
heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-
type plug. Apolarized plug has two blades with one wider than
the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and third grounding prong. The wide blade or third prong are provided for your
safety. When the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particu-
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
16. 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 appli-
ance; or
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.
17. Tilt/Stability - All televisions must comply with recommended
international global safety standards for tilt and stability properties
of its cabinet design.
• Do not compromise these design standards by applying excessive pull force to the front, or top, of the cabinet which could ultimately overturn the product.
• Also, do not endanger yourself, or children, by placing electronic equipment/toys on the top of the cabinet. Such items could
unsuspectingly fall from the top of the set and cause product damage and/or personal injury.
18. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to
a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
19. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away from
power lines.
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.
22. Battery Usage CAUTION - To prevent battery leakage that may
result in bodily injury, property damage, or damage to the unit:
• Install all batteries correctly, with + and - aligned as marked on
the unit.
• Do not mix batteries (old and new or carbon and alkaline, etc.).
• Remove batteries when the unit is not used for a long time.
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.

Items Included with This TV
As you unpack your TV, please note that this Directions
for Use manual contains safety-tip information and
Factory Service Center locations, as well as a Warranty
Registration Card, remote control, and batteries for use
with the remote control.
Please take a few minutes to complete your registration
card. The serial number for the TV is on the rear of the set.

cleaning and care of the TV.
FEATURES
Active Control™ continuously measures and corrects all incoming signals to help provide the best picture quality. This feature
monitors and corrects both the sharpness control and noise
reduction control.
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.
AutoChron™ automatically sets the right time of day and
maintains it with digital precision through brownouts, power
failures, and even Daylight Savings Time adjustments.
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.
Dynamic Contrast helps to sharpen the picture quality by
improving the contrast between the darkest and brightest parts of
the picture.
Eye Fidelity (also know as Digital Options) give a choice of
two different scanning technics – Progressive Scan or Interlaced.
Progressive Scan doubles the number of visible lines per field by
displaying all picture frame lines at once, eliminating any picture
flicker. The Interlaced mode provides a double vertical display
scan, which reduces annoying motion sweeps. The Interlaced
mode will also smooth out the jagged lines sometimes seen on
the edges of curved or angled surfaces.
Infrared Remote Control works your TV and other remotecontrolled devices, such as VCRs, DVD players, cable converters, and satellite receivers.
Onscreen Menu shows helpful messages and instructions for
setting TV feature controls (can be viewed in English, French, or
Spanish).
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
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 twinspeaker 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.

TV PARENTAL GUIDELINES
(TV BROADCASTERS)
T
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, 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.
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.)

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Some DVD Discs are encoded with as much as
30% more video information to give the viewer the
best possible picture quality. With the DVD Player
in the 16:9 picture format, the playback of this type
of disc (containing extra video information), can
produce a number of small white lines in the upper
portion of the black letterbox area. With some of
these discs, this situation is unavoidable and it does
not require a service call.

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.
P
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.
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.
Remote Does Not Work Continued
• 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.
TV Displays white lines in letterbox when viewing a
DVD disc
• Some DVD Discs are encoded with as much as 30% more
video information to give the best possible picture quality.
With the DVD Player in the 16:9 picture format, the playback of this type of disc with extra video information, can
produce a number of small white lines in the upper portion
of the black letterbox area. With some of these discs, this situation is unavoidable and it does not require a service call.

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.
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 shows dialogue and conversations while a TV program is in progress.
Coaxial Cable • A single solid 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.

LIMITED WARRANTY
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.

(In U.S.A., Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands, all implied warranties,
including implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, are limited in duration to the duration of this express
