AFETY INFORMATION

No naked flames, such as lighted candles, should be placed on top on the TV or in the vicinity. Do not place your TV set under direct sunlight or heat. Leave at least 15cm around each side of TV set to allow for proper ventilation. Avoid placing you set (e.g. near the window) where it is likely to be exposed to rain or water. No objects filled with liquids should be placed on top of the TV so as to avoid dripping or splashing of liquids on the set.

Disconnect mains plug when :

• the red light below the TV screen is flashing continuously

• a bright white line is displayed across the screen

• cleaning the TV screen (never use abrasive cleaning agents; use a slightly damp chamois leather or soft cloth)

• a lightning storm is occurring

• the set is left unattended for a prolonged period.

Never attempt to repair a defective TV yourself. Always consult a skilled service person.

Battery Usage CAUTION :

To prevent battery leakage which may result in bodily injury or damage to the remote :

• Install ALL batteries correctly, + and – as marked on the remote control.

• Do not mix batteries : (OLD and NEW or CARBON and ALKALINE, etc.).

• Remove batteries when the remote is not used for a long time.

Thank you for purchasing this television set. You are now the proud owner of a Philips TV, which promises full value to you as a customer. Please read this manual carefully and thoroughly for help with installation and operation. Note: Although every effort has been made to insure accuracy, your television may differ from the information presented in this book.

Product highlights

100Hz Digital Scan

Conventional TV creates a picture by scanning 50 times per second (50Hz). This frequency can be detected by the human eye in the form of a field flickering picture. 100Hz sets scan 100 times per second, eliminating the field flickering.

Progressive Scan

A picture frame consists of two fields: the field with the odd lines (field A) and the field with the even lines (field B). Instead of sending field A to the screen first, followed by field B, the fields A and B are written at one time. In one second, a full image is created using the maximum resolution. At this speed, the human eye perceives a sharper picture with no line structure.

HDTV Monitor

HDTV Display Capability (1080i). HDTV monitors enable you to view high-definition or enhanced-definition TV programming in the 1080i or 480p signal format. In order to do so, the TV must be connected via its component video or RGB inputs to a set-top box, which is set to operate in the DTV mode. A DTV signal must be present in your area and the set-top box must be tuned to the proper channel. An external over-the-air antenna may be required. Another option is HDTV broadcast satellite service. Stunning realism in both picture and sound are delivered!

Saphlon™ Screen

Saphlon™ Screen technology is built with materials and processes that deliver more brightness and picture contrast. It guards against most scratches and fingerprints and eliminates the glare associated with a separate protective screen.

Active Control

With over 3,000 picture adjustments per minute, this 'proactive control system' continuously analyzes incoming video signal qualities for Dynamic Noise Reduction and sharpness and then automatically corrects them to be like the settings you previously selected in the picture menu.

APAC

APAC is designed to minimize the effects of image retention from stationary images on the screen. Because both analog sources (cable TV and DVD) and digital sources (HD and progressive scan DVD) have different aspect ratios (4:3, 16:9, 21:9, etc.), the picture on a digital television may have black bars on the sides or top and bottom. When black bars are detected in either the 4:3 or 16:9 viewing mode, APAC automatically shifts the television picture pixel-by-pixel, just enough to soften image retention. APAC works in both the analog and digital modes, so it provides excellent protection.

INSTALLING THE TV

Do not place the TV in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance.

Power

The major benefit of this projection television is its large viewing screen. To see the large screen at its best, test various locations in the room to find the optimal spot for viewing.

Be sure to allow a minimum of 15 cm of space around the TV.

To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and increased chance of set failure, do not place the TV where temperatures can become excessively hot—for example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance.

Magnetic fields, such as those of external speakers, may cause the picture to distort if the speakers are placed too close to the television. Move the magnetic field source away from the TV until there is no picture distortion.

Insert the aerial plug firmly into the ANTENNA IN 75Ω socket at the rear of the set.

Insert the mains plug in the wall socket. Refer to the back of the TV set for the correct operation voltage. Consult your local dealer if your main supply is different. To prevent damaging the mains (AC) cord, which could cause hazard, do not place the TV on the cord.

Remove the cover of the battery compartment on the remote control. Insert the two batteries supplied (Type R6-1.5V).

The batteries supplied do not contain the heavy metals mercury and cadmium. Nevertheless, in many countries exhausted batteries may not be disposed of with your household waste. Please check on how to dispose of exhausted batteries according to local regulations.

See the battery caution statement on page 2.

Note : This remote control functions with TVs that use the RC5 signalling standard.

Switch the TV on : Press the mains power switch on the front of the TV. If the Standby key is lighted, press the CH +/– keys, digit keys, or the Power key on the remote control. Or press the Standby or CH keys on the front of the TV.
