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.

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 registers, 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 particularly 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

Do not insert the power plug in a wall socket or hang the TV to the wall before all connections are made.

• Place or hang the TV wherever you want, but make sure that air can circulate freely through the ventilation slots. Leave at least 4” to 6” free all around the TV.

• Do not place the TV on a carpet.

• Do not install the TV in a confined space such as a book case or a similar unit.

• To prevent any unsafe situations,no naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed in the vicinity.

• Avoid heat, direct sunlight and exposure to rain or water.

• The equipment shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.

• To prevent damaging the power (AC) cord which could cause a fire or electric shock, do not place the TV on the cord.

Do not touch, push or rub or strike the screen with anything hard as this may scratch, mar or damage the screen permanently. And please do not rub with dust clothes with chemical treatment. Do not touch the surface with bare hands or greasy cloth (some cosmetics are detrimental to the screen). Unplug the TV before cleaning the screen. When the surface becomes dusty, please wipe gently with absorbent cotton or other soft materials like chamois soaks. Do not use acetone, toluene and alcohol because they cause chemical damage. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.Wipe off saliva or water drops as soon as possible. Their long time contact with the screen causes deformations and color fading.

Installing the TV requires special skills that should only be performed by qualified personnel.You should not attempt to do the work yourself. Philips bears no responsibility for improper mounting or mounting that results in accident or injury. Make sure that the wall mount is being fixed securely enough so that it meets safety standards.

This TV provides the VESA mounting interface (not supplied) and is VESA compatible with the 4 supplied VESA studs to be inserted in the back of the TV.

Available channels:

- Cable (analog NTSC or digital QAM): max. from 1 to 135

- Terrestrial (analog NTSC or digital ATSC): max. from 2 to 69

If a tuned channel is not yet in the master channel map, the TV will attempt to tune the channel and it will be added to the map. If the channel is not acquired, a message will appear that the channel is not available.

When you tune an audio-only digital subchannel, a display appears with the message Audio only.

Channel tuning

Important:After the installation of the TV channels has been

done, always make a selection in the Installation menu between Antenna or Cable whether you want to watch Antenna TV channels or Cable TV channels.

Note: Do not start Autoprogram but press the red button. Then press the

button.

If you make use of a signal splitter do not forget to put the switch in the corresponding position.

Notes:

- Subchannel selections The new standards employed with digital broadcasting make it possible to receive multiple program channels under a single major channel number which can be selected by pressing the digit remote control direct-access channel number entry.

- Digital Channel selection delay Due to the tuning complexity of subchannel digital programming, the time to select and view a digital channel may take slightly longer than what the viewer is normally accustomed to (as compared to analog channel programs). Digital channel broadcasts contain program and system data information that must be processed before the channel selection can be displayed.
