PHILIPS 37PF9975 User Manual

Information for users in the UK

(Not applicable outside the UK)

Positioning the TV

For the best results,choose a position where light does not fall directly on the screen,and at some distance away from radiators or other sources of heat. Leave a space of at least 5 cm all around the TV for ventilation,making sure that curtains, cupboards etc. cannot obstruct the air flow through the ventilation apertures. The TV is intended for use in a domestic environment only and should never be operated or stored in excessively hot or humid atmospheres.

General Points

Please take note of the section 'Tips' at the end of this booklet.

Interference

The Department of Trade and Industr y operates a Radio Interference Investigation Service to help TV license holders improve reception of BBC and IBA programmes where they are being spoilt by interference. If your dealer cannot help,ask at a main Post Office for the booklet "How to improve Television and Radio Reception".

Mains connection

Before connecting the TV to the mains,check that the mains supply voltage corresponds to the voltage printed on the type plate on the rear panel of the TV. If the mains voltage is different, consult your dealer.

Important

This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows :

1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.

2. Fit new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A,A.S.T.A.or BSI approved type.

3. Refit the fuse cover. In order to maintain conformity to the EMC directive,the mains plug on this product must not be

removed.

Connecting the aerial

The aerial should be connected to the socket marked x at the back of the set. An inferior aerial is likely to result in a poor,perhaps unstable picture with ghost images and lack of contrast. Makeshift or set-top aerials are unlikely to give adequate results. Your dealer will know from experience the most suitable type for your locality. Should you wish to use the set in conjunction with other equipment,which connects to the aerial socket such as TV games,or a video camera, it is recommended that you consult your dealer on the best method of connection.

Stand (if provided)

Use only the stand provided with the set,making sure that the fixings are properly tightened. A diagram showing how to assemble the stand is packed with the stand.Never use a make-shift stand, or legs fixed with woodscrews.

Contents

EasyLink features are based on the “one touch operation” approach. This means that a sequence of actions are executed at the same time in both the television and the recorder, provided both are fitted with the EasyLink function and connected with the eurocable supplied with your recorder.

R End of life directives

Philips is paying a lot of attention to producing environmentally-friendly in green focal areas.Your new TV contains materials which can be recycled and reused. At the end of its life specialised companies can dismantle the discarded TV to concentrate the reusable materials and to minimise the amount of materials to be disposed of. Your TV contains a (tolerated) small amount of mercury. Please ensure you dispose of your old TV according to local regulations.

Help?

If this instruction manual does not give an answer or if ‘Tips’ do not solve your TV problem, you can call your Local Philips Customer or Service Centre. See the supplied World-wide guarantee booklet. Please, have the Model and Product number which you can find at the back of your television set or on the packaging, ready, before calling the Philips helpline.

There is a wide range of audio and video equipment that can be connected to your TV. The following connection diagrams show you how to connect them.

Note:

EXT1 can handle CVBS and RGB; EXT2 CVBS, Y/C and RGB; EXT3 CVBS; DVI can handle VGA, SVGA and

480p, 576p, 1080i and 1152i. It is preferable to connect peripherals with RGB output to

EXT1 or EXT2 as RGB provides a better picture quality.

Note: If your recorder is provided with the EasyLink function, it should be connected to

EXT2 to benefit from the

EasyLink functionality.

Connect the aerial cables 1, 2 and, to obtain the optimum picture quality, eurocable 3 as shown. If your recorder does not have a euroconnector, the only possible connection is via the aerial cable.You will therefore need to tune in your recorder’s test signal and assign it programme number 0 or store the test signal under a programme number between 90 and 99, see Manual installation, p. 6. See the handbook of your recorder.

Decoder and Recorder

Connect a eurocable 4 to your decoder and to the special euroconnector of your recorder. See also the recorder handbook. See Decoder, p. 10. You can also connect your decoder directly to

EXT1 or 2 with a

eurocable.

& Connect the aerial cables 1, 2 and 3 as shown

(only if your peripheral has TV aerial in-/output). Connect your equipment with a eurocable 4 or 5 to one of the euroconnectors

EXT1, 2 or 3 to obtain a

better picture quality.

Tips

Care of the screen 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 colour fading.

Poor Picture • Have you selected the correct TV system in the manual installation menu?

• Is your TV or house aerial located too close to loudspeakers, non-earthed audio equipment or neon lights, etc.?

• Mountains or high buildings can cause double pictures or ghost images. Sometimes you can improve the picture quality by changing the direction of the aerial.

• Is the picture or teletext unrecognisable? Check if you have entered the correct frequency. See Installation, Manual installation, p. 6.

• Are brightness, sharpness and contrast out of adjustment? Select Factory settings in the Setup, General menu, p. 8.

No Picture • Are the supplied cables connected properly ? (The aerial cable to the TV, the

other aerial to your recorder, the VGA cables to the display, the power cables.)

• Has the child lock been switched off ?

• Is your PC switched on ?

• Do you see a black screen and the indicator in front of the TV lights up blue,

this means that the display mode is not supported. Switch your VGA-source to a correct display mode.

• In case of weak or bad signal, consult your dealer.

Digital distortion The low quality of some digital picture material may be the cause of digital image

distortion. In this case select the Soft setting using the Picture menu, Smart Picture, without changing the picture settings manually.

No sound • No sound on any channel? Check the volume isn’t at minimum.

Warning concerning stationary images on the TV screen

A characteristic of Plasma Display Panels is that displaying the same image for a long time can cause a permanent after-image to remain on the screen.This is called phosphor burn in. Normal use of the TV should involve the showing of pictures that contain constantly moving and changing images that fill the screen.

Examples of stationary images (this is not an all-inclusive list, you may encounter others in your viewing):

•

TV and DVD menus: listings of DVD disk content;

•

Black bars: when black bars appear at the left and right side of the screen, it is recommended

to change to a picture format so that the picture fills the entire screen;

•

TV channel logo: present a problem if they are bright and stationary. Moving or low-contrast

graphics are less likely to cause uneven aging of the screen;

•

Stock market stickers: 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. Examples of still pictures also include logos, computer images, time display, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode, static images or characters, etc.

Notes:

- reduce contrast and brightness when viewing

- once burn-in occurs it will never disappear completely.

The connection diagram in the inside cover shows you how to connect the Cinema Link peripherals with each other.

Notes:

- Besides the TV or receiver box at least one per ipheral should be provided with the Cinema Link functionality to benefit from this feature.

- To take advantage of the highest quality of multi channel Sur round sound it is advisable that you have a Cinema Link audio receiver connected.

- The peripherals connected don’t need to see the TV remote control in the Cinema Link system. The commands given to the TV are automatically passed to the other peripherals.This allows you to put the peripherals behind the doors of a cabinet or to place them in another room.

- To enjoy Digital Sur round playback, the digital device (e.g. DVD) should be connected to the digital input of the audio receiver with a separate cinch audio cable 4.In case your TV is provided with a

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT

connector,also connect it to one of the digital input connectors of your audio receiver 5. If you connect the digital audio output connector of your TV and/or peripheral equipment to a digital input connector of your audio receiver 4 and 5 (if present), select the appropr iate digital input (1 or 2) in your audio receiver.

- The optional wireless speakers of the TV cannot be used.

English

Cinema Link is a new Philips feature in which the TV,the audio receiver and other video peripherals communicate with each other (on condition they all are equipped with the Cinema Link functionality and are connected via a eurocable).They automatically offer the highest quality combination of picture and multi channel surround sound to create your own Home Cinema.

With one key on the remote control, with which you can control all Cinema Link products,your total Cinema Link system will be started and the DVD or video recorder will star t to play and the audio receiver will provide the sound (on the condition Cinema link is enabled) on behalf of the TV. The TV or monitor can function as the centre speaker of your system,making a separate centre speaker unnecessary (only in case your TV or receiver box is equipped with a Centre IN connector).

By pressing the standby key B on the remote control for at least 3 seconds, the complete Cinema Link system will be switched to standby.

Preparation and Operation

Note: The Cinema Link functionality is only available with devices of the Cinema Link (P50.3) generation !

Recommended:

Do not use the AC outlet at the back of the audio receiver to power the DVD or the video recorder in a Home Cinema configuration.

& Cinema Link is switched on as soon as the audio receiver and the TV are switched on.If necessary,

Cinema Link may be switched off or on again only on the audio receiver.See the instructions for use of your audio receiver.

Important:When Cinema Link is switched on all audio commands control the audio receiver instead of the TV.

é The message

CINEMALINK ON is displayed on the audio receiver and on the TV. Now the

CinemaLink system is activated.

Note: it is recommended to disable CinemaLink when the receiver is used to record a CD e.g. or when using a headphone when others are watching TV.
