Care of the screen

See Tips, p. 44.

* CableCARD™ is a trademark of Cable Television Laboratories, Inc.

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

& Place the TV on a solid surface or place the TV on the supplied stand.

For the mounting instructions of the stand, see the separate leaflet supplied. For ventilation, leave at least 4” to 6” free all around the TV. Do not place the TV on a carpet.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.

Mounting the TV on the wall

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.

Caution: Installing the TV requires special skill 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.

Preparation

Your new TV is provided with a special slot called a CableCARD™ which means that you do not need a separate set top box to receive digital cable SDTV and HDTV programs. However it is still possible to connect a set top box to your TV. The CableCARD, which will be available from your cable system operator, is designed only for that particular digital cable TV system. If you need to get digital cable TV from a different system, simple swap your old CableCARD for a new one. Cable systems can provide a wide range of digital TV programs and even specialized digital audio channels. Cable TV systems can offer many local-interest channels you won’t see off-air or from a satellite broadcast. Examples include local school and community access channels.

CableCARD™ *

A CableCARD is a removable card distributed by cable companies, that is inserted into the CableCARD slot at the bottom of your television. CableCARD allows you to tune digital and high definition scrambled or encrypted cable channels through the cable antenna. Consult your cable company on the availability of CableCARD. The CableCARD is required to receive premium digital TV channels and services (where available) through the cable. A CableCARD functionality includes conditional access and copy protection. See settings menu, CableCARD applications, p. 18.

Note: Do not insert a PCMCIA card into the CableCARD slot.

Digital Cable TV

Cable CARD INTERFACE 1394

Watching Cable TV programs that don’t require the cable box

Since you’ve connected the cable TV signal directly to the TV’s tuner, you can also watch the unscrambled programs by simply tuning to the desired channel.You must first use Autoprogram, however, to store channels in the TV’s memory. See page 10.

Note:This connection will supply stereo sound to the TV if it is being broadcast by the station you are watching.

é Basic connections to the TV

Your integrated digital TV automatically decodes and displays the four basic DTV picture resolution standards.

- SDTV (Standard Definition TV) are broadcast as 480i (480-line interlaced) or 480p (480-line progressive scan) video.

- HDTV (High-Definition TV) are broadcast either in the 1080i or 720p formats, always with a widescreen picture.

Note: Progressive scan video (p) is more like that you see in a movie theater. Images are much more distinct and free of flicker, and motion is smoother.

Next to analog NTSC broadcast reception, your TV has an integrated High Definition TV tuner which receives, decodes and displays terrestrial ATSC and unscrambled cable (QAM) signals. HDTV quality is only reproduced when a broadcaster or cable provider broadcasts HDTV signals.

Note: Ask your broadcaster or cable box provider to transmit/enable HD content to your home, and possibly upgrade to a CableCard for the decription of HD signals.

There are 2 ways to get HDTV content:

- via cable,

- via antenna.

Note:This drawing is used wherever you can connect cable or antenna.

- Cable TV

Connect the cable TV signal to the

CABLE/ANTENNA 75 Ω x jack at

the bottom of the TV. See page 10 for details on using Autoprogram to store channels in the TV’s memory.

Note: this connection will supply stereo sound to the TV if it is being broadcast by the station you are watching.

- Cable box with

RF IN/OUT

• Connect the incoming cable TV signal to the cable IN jack 1 on the

back of the cable box.

• Connect a coaxial cable (not supplied) from the

TO TV jack on the

back of the cable box to the

CABLE/ANTENNA 75 Ω x jack 2 at

the bottom of the TV.

Note:Your cable box may have a different label for the

TO TV jack, such as

OUTPUT or OUT.

• Set the

OUTPUT CH switch 3 of the cable box to CH 3 or 4

(whichever is correct for your cable box), then tune the TV to the corresponding channel. Once tuned, change channels at the cable box, not the TV.

Note:This connection will not supply stereo sound to the TV.The reason is that the RF output on a cable box - labeled

TO TV , OUT or OUTPUT for example -

will not send a stereo signal to the tuner (VHF/UHF) input on a TV.

- Cable box with A/V outputs

• Connect the incoming cable TV signal 1 to a signal splitter (not

supplied).The signal splitter enables you to avoid having to use the TO TV jack on the back of the cable box.This jack will not supply stereo sound to the TV.

Note:Your cable box may have a different label for the

TO TV jack, such as

OUTPUT or OUT.

• Connect a coaxial cable (not supplied) to a connector on the signal

splitter and to the

CABLE/ANTENNA 75 Ω x jack 2 on the TV.

• Connect another coaxial cable (not supplied) to a connector on the

signal splitter and to the cable

IN jack 3 on the back of the cable

box.

• Connect A/V cables (not supplied) to the

VIDEO and AUDIO L and R

outputs on the back of the cable box and to the AV2 video (labeled

VIDEO) and AUDIO (labeled L and R) jacks 4 on the back of the TV.

•To view programs from your cable box, first press the AV+ button on

the remote control.

•Press the cursor down or up buttons until the

AV2 signal source is

selected.

•Press the

OK button to confirm your selection. The AV 2 input source

becomes current for the viewing of cable TV programs through your cable box.

Note: If your cable box Audio/Video outputs will not supply video and stereo audio to the TV, you will need to make the connection shown above in the example “Cable box with

RF IN/OUT”.

First time installation

Note: The first time (and only the first time) you turn on your set you see an installation introduction screen. The Installation procedure consists of a series of screens that guide you through the process.

& After an introduction screen, you are asked to select a language of the TV’s on-screen-menus. (The text of the header and the info on screen

continuously change language.)

é Press the cursor up/down to highlight your language. “ Press the OK button. ‘ Follow the on-screen instructions to proceed.

Note: Once you completed the initial installation procedure you can access the screens from the Settings menu. See p. 10.

ANTENNACABLE /

CABLE

- Cable box with S-Video, component video (YPbPr) or HDMI connectors

See Connect Accessory Devices, p. 32-33.

- Antenna

Via antenna you can watch whatever DTV programs being broadcast in your area for free. If you’re not sure what HDTV programming is available in your area, contact your local content provider or your local electronics store retailer. Broadcasters are in the middle of a transition from analog to digital TV. This means that a given broadcaster will have two channels on the air, one analog and one digital.

Connect the incoming antenna signal to the

CABLE/ANTENNA 75 Ω x

jack at the bottom of the TV. See page 10 for details on using Autoprogram to store channels in the TV’s memory.

Note:This connection will supply stereo sound to the TV if it is being broadcast by the station you are watching.

- Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS)

Satellite systems offer many of the same premium channels as cable systems, and often at a lower price.To get these channels, you’ll need to install a small dish antenna outside. There are 2 main DBS systems: DirecTV & DishNetwork.These systems require separate, proprietary set top receiver boxes to decode their signals and send them to your digital TV set.These boxes may include a digital TV tuner for off-air DTV broadcasts. Satellite broadcasters also provide major local channels, depending on the market in which you live. DBS also provides service in areas not covered by cable because they are in rural areas or other areas not passed by a cable line. DBS also allows you to watch pay-per-view events.

“ Before installing your TV or before hanging it on the wall, first connect your

accessory devices, see p. 29.

‘ Refer to the bottom of the set for the correct operation voltage. Insert the

power cord in the wall socket. Consult your local dealer if your mains supply is different. To prevent damaging the mains (AC) cord which could cause a fire or electric shock, do not place the TV on the cord.

( Remote control:
