12. Cleaning - The appliance should be cleaned only as recommended
by the manufacturer.
13. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away from
power lines.
14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is
connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mats and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Fig. below.
15. Non-use Periods - The power cord of the appliance should be
unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time.
16. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects
do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.
17. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be serviced
by qualified service personnel when:
A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance;
or
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits
a marked change in performance; or
E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.
18. Servicing - The user should not attempt to service the appliance
beyond that described in the operating instructions. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.
19. Alternate Warnings - This product is equipped with a three-
wire grounding-type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - Read before operating equipment
Note to the CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installers 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.

Care of the screen
Clean the TV with a slightly damp soft cloth. Do not use abrasive solvent as it can damage the TV screen.
Plasma Display characteristics
When switching over to another picture after having displayed the same still picture for a long time (many hours), it may happen that some parts from the previous picture will remain on screen due to a kind of memory effect. This ghost picture will disappear after some time. To avoid this effect change TV programs regularly. Philips built in an automatic slight shift of the picture every 15 minutes to avoid this effect and to prolong the life of the screen. Very incidentally and after a longer period of unuse (approx. 1 year) the screen may display some strange color deficiencies. This is quite normal for plasma displays and these effects will disappear after the set has been turned on for some time. A plasma display consists of more than 1,2 Million color pixels. It is within industry standards that very few pixels (< 0,001%) may be defective, even for a new set. There is however no reason to doubt about the quality of the set. The plasma display technology operates with rare gasses which are being influenced by air pressure. Up to an altitude of 6000 ft above sea-level, the display is functioning fine. Operating the set at a higher altitude, the picture becomes unstable and the picture performance is deteriorating. Bringing the set below 6000 ft it works fine again. Transportation has no influence.
Poor Picture
Is your TV or house antenna located too close to speakers, 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 outside antenna. Are brightness and contrast out of adjustment ? Press the s key. Turn off your TV overnight using A on the front of the receiver.
No picture or no sound
Are the supplied cables connected properly? (The antenna cable to the TV, the other antenna to your VCR, the power cable to the display, the video cable, the subwoofer cable, the cables to the surround speakers.) The message No picture means that the selected peripheral equipment is not transmitting a picture. Has the Lock been switched off ? (p. 14). In case of weak or bad signal, consult your dealer.
Connections
Make sure your peripheral equipment is connected properly. See p. 18. Have you turned on the peripheral equipment?
Control of peripheral equipment
The infrared signals of the screen may influence the reception sensibility of other peripherals. Solution: replace the batteries of the remote control or change position of other equipment.
Remote control
If your TV no longer responds to the remote control, the batteries may be dead. You can still use the
LOCAL MENU keys at
the front of your receiver.
Menu
Have you selected the wrong menu ? Press the same key again to exit from the menu.
Black or blue screen
According to the selection made in the Setup menu, the screen turns black or blue when there is no signal available.
No solution
Switch your TV off and then on again.
Never attempt to repair a defective TV yourself.
Check with your dealer or call a TV technician.
End of life directives
Your new TV contains materials which can be recycled and reused. At the end of life specialized companies can dismantle the discarded TV to concentrate the reusable materials and to minimize the amount of materials to be disposed of. Please ensure you dispose of your old TV according to local regulations.
How to dispose of dead batteries ?
The batteries supplied do not contain the heavy metals mercury and cadmium. Nevertheless in many countries dead batteries may not be disposed of with your household waste. Please ensure you dispose of dead batteries according to local regulations.
