Congratulations on your purchase and
welcome to Philips! To fully benefit from

product at www.philips.com/welcome.
Read this user manual before you start to
use this product.
In particular, pay close attention to this
section and follow the safety and screen care
instructions. The product warranty does not
apply if damage is caused by failing to follow
these instructions.
Safety1.1
Two people are required to lift and carry •
a TV that weighs more than 25 kilos
(55lb). Improper handling of the TV can
result in serious injury.
To avoid short circuit, do not expose the •
TV, remote control or remote control
batteries to rain or water.
To avoid risk of fire or electric shock, •
do not place the TV, remote control or
remote control batteries near naked
flame sources (for example, lighted
candles) and other heat sources including
direct sunlight.
Do not touch any part of the TV, power •
connector or antenna cable during
lightning storms.
Do not install the TV in a confined space •
such as a bookcase. Leave a space of at
least 10cm (four inches) around the TV
for ventilation. Be sure air flow is not
obstructed.
If mounting the TV on a flat surface, be •
sure to use only the supplied stand and
to mount the TV on a level, solid surface.
Do not move the TV if the stand is not
properly screwed to the TV.
Wall mounting of the TV should only be •
performed by qualified personnel. The TV
must only be mounted on an appropriate
wall bracket and on a wall that can safely
hold the weight of the TV. Improper wall
mounting can result in severe injury or
damage. Do not attempt to wall mount
the TV yourself.
If the TV is mounted on a swivel base or •
swivel arm, ensure no strain is placed on
the power cord when the TV is swivelled.
Strain on the power cord can loosen
connections and cause arcing or fire.
Do not place the TV on the cord or •
anything else that can pinch the cord or
loosen the mains plug. An improperly
connected mains plug or damaged mains
cord can cause arcing, fire or electric
shock.
Be sure that you have full access to the •
mains cord for easy disconnection of the
TV from the mains.
When disconnecting the TV from the •
mains, be sure to:
Turn off the TV, then the mains power •
(if available).
Unplug the mains cord from the mains •
socket outlet.
Unplug the mains cord from the •
power connector at the back of the
TV. Always pull the mains cord by the
plug. Do not pull the mains cord.
EN-5
Permanent hearing loss may occur if you •
use earphones or headphones at high
volumes. Though high volume may sound
normal over time, it can damage your
hearing. To protect your hearing, limit the
amount of time you use earphones or
headphones at high volume.
Although your TV consumes very little •
power when in standby, energy continues
to be consumed as long as the mains
remain connected and powered. When
not in use for extended periods of time,
switch off and disconnect the TV from
the mains.
Screen care1.2
Turn off and unplug the mains cord •
before cleaning the screen.
Clean the screen with a soft, dry •
cloth. Do not use substances such as
household cleaning agents as these may
damage the screen.
Environmental care1.3
This product is designed and •
manufactured for material recycling.
Recycle the product packaging at your •
local recycling center and dispose of used
batteries according to local regulations.
Do not dispose the product with •
household waste. Ask your dealer for
information on how to safely dispose of
the product. Uncontrolled waste disposal
harms both the environment and human
health (EEC 2002/96/EC).
• This TV consumes minimal energy in
standby mode to minimize environmental
impact. Active power consumption is
displayed at the back of the TV.
Caution: This is Class 1 apparatus. It C
must be connected to a mains socket
out with a protective earthing connection.
To avoid deformations or color fading, •
wipe off water droplets as soon as
possible.
Do not touch, push, rub or strike the •
screen with hard objects as this may
damage the screen permanently.
Where possible, avoid stationary images •
that remain on-screen for extended
periods of time. Examples include screen
menus, teletext pages, black bars or stock
market tickers. If you must use stationary
images, reduce the screen contrast and
brightness to avoid screen damage.
