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. A polarized 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.

A

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

If yourantenna has a round cable(75 ohm) on the end,
then you're ready to connect it to the TV.

If yourantenna 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.

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

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.

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, 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.)

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.

When the onscreen menu is not displayed,

our TV remote is capable of working not

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.

1

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.

2

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 46 and 47 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.

1

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.

2

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 46 and 47).

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.

3

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.

1

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.

2

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.

3

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

ning 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.

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.

54

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

• Te levision 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.

C

LEANING

•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.

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 war­ranty. But, because some states do not allow limitations on how long
