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

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.

Example of Antenna Grounding as per NEC - National Electric Code

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 there is a Directions for Use manual, Quick Use Guide, Warranty Registration Card, remote control and batteries.

Please take a minute to complete your registration card. The serial number for the TV is on the rear of the set. Transfer your Model Number and Serial number to the cover of this booklet for future use.

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.

Double Window PIP allows you to view two different programs (or picture sources) on the TV screen at the same time. PIP will also let you swap the picture, move the PIP window to any of the four screen corners, freeze the picture, or even view a double PIP window (main picture and PIP picture side-by-side).

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

he television is equipped with external

input and output jacks for use with optional accessory devices such as VCRs, DVD Player, Gaming Units, Video Cameras, etc. The following gives a brief explanation of the different types of jacks available and the type of cables needed to make connections.

75Ω RF - Cable/Antenna Input connection jack. Located on the back of the television.

AV 1 in - Audio/Video connection jacks. Located on the back of the television. Along with Component Video Inputs.

AV 2 in - Audio/Video Input connection jacks. Located on the back of the television.

S-Video Input jack - Used with the AV 2 in Audio Left and Right Input jacks. Located on the back of the television.

Monitor Out - Audio/Video Output connection jacks. Located on the back of the television.

AV 4 in - Component Video, VGA (RGB), and Audio Input connection jacks. Located on the back of the television.

SIDE (AV 3) - Audio/Video Input jacks, plus a Headphone jack located on the side of the cabinet.

JACK PANEL DESCRIPTIONS AND REQUIRED CABLES

A 75-ohm coaxial cable connects signals from an antenna or a cable TV company to the antenna jack on the back of the TV. Coaxial cables use “F” connectors.

A two-way signal splitter enables you to take a single antenna or cable TV signal and supply it to two different inputs.

A 300- to 75-ohm twin-lead adapter accepts the antenna cables (called twinlead wires) from an antenna, allowing you to connect the antenna signal to the TV.

An S-Video cable provides better picture performance than regular (composite) video connections. S-Video cables can be used only with SVideo-compatible accessory devices. You must also connect the left and right audio cables to the AV 2 Audio in jacks because the S-Video jack carries only the picture signal, not the sound.

Video and audio cables with standard RCA (phono) connectors connect the video and audio jacks of accessory devices such as VCRs and DVD players to the jacks on the TV.

These connectors are usually color coded. The jacks on your TV are also color coded to match the colors of the connectors. Yellow for video (composite) and Red and White for the right and left audio channels. The video cables used to connect component video or RGB (high-resolution) jacks are color coded red, green, and blue.

An VGA (HD15) cable makes a VGA (RGB) connection to the HD INPUT-AV 4 jack on the rear of the TV.

TV PARENTAL GUIDELINES

(TV BROADCASTERS)

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.

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.)

our TV remote is capable of working not

only your TV but also other infrared remote (IR) controlled devices such as VCRs, cable TV converter boxes, satellite receivers, DVD players, and laser-disc players.

If you want to use your TV remote to operate a VCR or other accessory device, you will need to perform this initial check explained in this section. You may also need to go to the sections on the “Code-entry Method” and the “Search Method” in the pages that follow.

Press the VCR or ACC(essory) mode button on the TV remote for the

desired accessory device category. NOTE: Pressing the VCR mode button

allows access to product codes for VCRs. Pressing the ACC(essory) mode button allows access to the product codes for cable TV converters, satellite receivers, DVD players, and laser-disc players.

Point the TV remote toward the desired accessory device and press the POWER button.

Does the remote turn the accessory device on?

If yes, then try other function buttons

on the TV remote. With a VCR, for example, try the Play, Stop, and Rewind buttons, for example. If they also work the accessory device, then the remote is ready and no further steps are needed.

If not, do the following: Look up a four-digit remote code

number on pages 52 and 53 for your

brand of accessory device. Then go through the simple steps for entering a four-digit code as explained on the next page.

USING THE

REMOTE WITH

ACCESSORY DEVICES - DIRECT ACCESS

It is recommended that you use Philips brand external accessory devices with your Philips television to insure proper remote control functions. If you are using Philips brand accessory devices, your remote control should be ready to use with these devices.

ow that you have looked up the four-digit

remote-control Direct-entry Code for your brand of accessory device, you are ready to follow the simple steps shown below to program your TV remote.

Please read through all the steps before beginning.

First, press and hold down the VCR or ACC (for an accessory device other than a VCR) mode button on

the TV remote. Then press and hold down the MENU/SELECT button at the same time for a brief moment. Release the buttons. The TV remote back light will switch on.

NOTE: For correct operation, you must first press and hold the mode button and then press and hold the MENU/SELECT button simultaneously.

Within 30 seconds of pressing the VCR (or ACC) button and MENU/SELECT button, enter a four-digit code for the accessory device (see pages 52 and 53).

If you make a mistake while attempting to enter the four-digit code and want to start again, press any button other than one with a number. Then return to step 1 to begin again.

Point the remote at the accessory device. Then press the POWER button

on the remote to turn the device on.

USING THE REMOTE WITH ACCESSORY DEVICES - CODE ENTRY

If you do not enter a complete code within 30 seconds, you will need to perform step 1 of the Code-entry Method again.

If the procedure explained above does not work the first time, repeat the steps using the same remote code number.

If after repeated attempts the Code-entry Method does not allow you to work your accessory device with your TV remote, try the Search Method explained on the next page.

our TV remote can be set to work various

accessory devices (VCRs, cable converters, and satellite receivers, for example) by what is called the Search Method.

NOTE: The Search Method works only with devices equipped with channel-display indicators on the devices themselves or the ability to show channel numbers on the TV screen. If the Code-entry Method (shown in the previous section) did not enable your TV remote to work your accessory device, then follow the easy steps listed below. Please read the steps once before performing them.

Turn on the desired device. Press and hold down the VCR or ACC (for an accessory device other than a VCR) mode button on the TV remote.

Then press and hold down the SURF button as you hold down the desired mode (VCR or ACC) button.

NOTE: For correct operation, you must press and hold down the desired mode (VCR or ACC) button first and then press and hold down the SURF button second.

While holding down the SURF and the desired mode (VCR or ACC) buttons simultaneously, point the remote toward the accessory device

and continue holding the buttons down.

Watch the Channel Indicator on your accessory device. Channel num-

bers will scan up when the TV remote has identified the correct code for your accessory device. This may take several minutes.

Release the mode (VCR or ACC) and SURF buttons as soon as channel numbers start to scan up. The

scanning means that your TV remote has found the code for your accessory device.

NOTE:

If no channel change happens after several minutes, repeat steps 1 and 2. Then if a channel change still does not occur, the remote will not work with the desired accessory device.

USING THE REMOTE WITH ACCESSORY DEVICES - SEARCH

The remote’s back light will blink as the remote moves through its product code list. After the remote identifies the product code for your accessory device and you release the remote buttons, the back light will blink twice.

This process can take several minutes.

Don’t let the accessory device scan up more than five channels when the correct code is found—the remote may pass up the right code and have to repeat the search cycle.

For basic connection instructions, please refer to the Audio/Video Input Jack section of this manual on pages 6-13.

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.

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.

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

Audio/Video Inputs • Jacks (standard RCA), located on the back of the TV, used for external accessory devices. These jacks are designed to receive higher picture resolution and offer sound-connection options.

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.

High-definition Television (HDTV) • High-resolution digital television.

Second Audio Program (SAP) • An additional audio channel provided for in the Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) broadcast standard. A monaural soundtrack included within the recorded or video signal (usually containing a second language translation for the displayed programming).

Status/Exit Button • The remote control function that allows you to quickly confirm what channel number you are watching.

You can use Status/Exit rather than having to wait for the displays to “time out,” or automatically disappear from the screen.

S-Video Input • Signal input that allows direct connection of high-resolution video sources, such as a satellite receiver, DVD player, S (Super)-VHS videocassette recorder, or video games. Provides improved picture resolution, sharpness, and clarity.

Tint • TV function that allows you to change the general color balance between cool and warm. Adjust tint according to your personal preference.
