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, High Definition Receivers 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.

Channel Lock 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. Selections include, Personal, Rich, Natural, Soft, Multimedia, or Eco.

AutoSound™ allows you to change to different factory predefined audio settings and a personal control that you set according to your own preferences through the onscreen Sound menu. The five factory-set controls (Personal, Speech, Music, Movie, and Multimedia) enable you to tailor the TV sound so as to enhance the particular programming you are watching.

Channel Remove allows you to delete channels from the list stored in the TV’s memory. Channel Remove makes it easy to limit 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.

Pixel Plus™ (or Digital Processing) gives a choice of two different scanning techniques – Progressive Scan or Pixel Plus.

Progressive Scan doubles the number of picture lines, eliminating line flicker and providing a jitter-free picture.

Pixel Plus

™

improves the appearance of onscreen motion. The number of picture lines are increased along with the number of pixels per line, giving normal broadcast signals, DVD reproduction or Digital TV signals, unparalleled sharpness and depth. Gives the viewer near High Definition and natural looking detail without the High Definition signal.

Infrared Remote Control works your TV and other remotecontrolled devices, such as VCRs, DVD players, cable converters, satellite receivers, etc.

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.

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). Surf allows 2 channel surfing or 9 channel surfing.

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.

A 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.

A DVI (Digital Video) cable that will support digital connection from a PC. Only Single Digital Link DVI is supported for PCs with 480p or 1080i output.

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.

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 Source Select 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

• Make sure the correct Mode button is being used.

• 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.

REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT AS PROVIDED UNDER THIS WARRANTY IS THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR THE CONSUMER. PHILIPS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES FOR BREACH OF ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY ON THIS PRODUCT. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ON THIS PRODUCT IS LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE DURATION OF THIS WARRANTY.

Some states do not allow the exclusions or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may have other rights which vary from state/province to state/province.
