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

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

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 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

Refer to the back of this manual for instructions in the
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.

JACK P

ANEL 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)

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.)

A/V external inputs on the rear of the TV. This
stops the viewing of VCR, DVD, and other
sources that can be shown through the A/V input
jacks. Select AV1, CVI, AV2, SIDE (AV3), or

give the viewer the best possible picture
quality. With the DVD Player in the

small white lines in the upper portion of
the black letterbox area. With some of
these discs, this situation is unavoidable

our remote control is capable of working

your TV and many other devices that
respond to infrared remote control commands,
such as VCRs, cable boxes, satellite systems,
and DBS. Your remote may be already, as is, to
work an accessory device, or you may need to
use one of the methods (“Code Entry” or
“Search”) explained on pages 47 and 48.

First, try this simple test to see if your TV
remote control will give you direct access to
the accessory device’s functions, or if you will
need to try another method in order to set up
your TV remote control for that capability.

1

Place the TV/VCR/ACC mode
switch in the proper position.

2

Point the remote control at the remote
sensor window of the accessory device
and press the POWER button.

3

Does the remote control turn the device
ON?

If YES, stop and try other function buttons on
the remote. If they also work the device, then
the remote is ready and no further steps are
needed.

If NO, go to the next page to try the Code­Entry method.

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

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.

the audio jack connections located on the front of the TV.

Heavy Duty (Zinc Chloride) or Alkaline batteries.

EDIT control) into the TV’s memory.

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.

GLOSSARY OF TELEVISION TERMS

Active Control • Active Control continuously measures and cor­rects the incoming signals to provide the best picture possible.

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.

Auto Programming • When activated, this feature scans for all
available channels from regular antenna or cable signals and
stores only active 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.

Component Video Inputs • Inputs that allow the separate recep­tion of blue, red, and luminance signals. These inputs provide
the highest possible color and picture resolution in the playback
of digital signal-source material, such as the kind available from
DVD players.

Composite Video Input • An input in which all the components
required for displaying the onscreen image are combined in one
signal.

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

Incredible Stereo (or Surround) • False acoustic management
of the audio signal that produces a dramatic expansion of the
wall of sound that surrounds the listener and heightens overall
viewing pleasure.

Menu • An onscreen list of feature controls available for you to
adjust or set.

Onscreen Displays (OSD) • The wording or messages generat­ed by the television (or VCR) to help you with specific feature
controls (color adjustment or programming, for example).

found on the television control panel through which infrared
remote control command signals are received.

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.
Status/Exit can also be used to clear the television of onscreen
displays or information. 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.

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.

the original warranty period. When the warranty on the product
expires, the warranty on all replaced and repaired parts also expires.

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.

designed, manufactured, approved and/or authorized, or repair of

includes, but is not limited to, prerecorded material, whether copy­righted or not copyrighted.)

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

parts and technical manual(s) are not readily available).

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.

call.

(In U.S.A., Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands, all implied warranties,
