Cable CARD INTERFACE 1394
* 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.

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 /
75
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:
