Features

Compact design with low weight

The unique Philips single-panel liquid-crystal-on-silicon (LCOS)
technology allows for a large screen TV with a very low depth
and low weight. This TV will find a place in any living room
without occupying a large area, and it can be easily handled by
two persons.

Philips Single-panel LCOS Imaging System

The Philips single-panel LCOS technology produces unmatched
high-resolution and flicker-free video with superb brightness.
This technology enables a large-screen-size TV with low weight
and shallow depth without any concerns for convergence or
image retention.

Digital Natural Motion™

Digital Natural Motion™ offers razor-sharp reproduction of
movement and motion. Its unique and highly advanced process­ing calculates motion trajectories of moving picture elements. It
corrects jerky movement from both studio programs or movie
material.

Digital CrystalClear™

Digital CrystalClear™—with Dynamic Contrast, comb filter,
9-bit processing, luminance enhancements, and color enhance­ments—offers a crisp and natural picture from any type or quali­ty of source. The comb filter supports the picture demands of
DVD players and other advanced high-resolution video sources.

ActiveControl™ Plus

Active Control™ Plus automatically analyzes the incoming sig­nals from the Tuner, AV1, AV2, and Side video inputs 50 times
per second and adjusts key picture settings. In addition to meas­uring picture noise, this feature uses an ambient light sensor to
adjust the picture settings according to viewing conditions in the
room.

Dolby* Virtual Surround

Dolby processing circuitry provides an enhanced cinema sur­round sound effect without the need for rear speakers.

Double-window,Two-Tuner PIP

Your TV features double-window, two-tuner PIP with second
tuner double window. The TV also has single PIP (free position­ing), as well as threefold and sixfold side PIPs. In addition, you
get photo finish, freeze Main, and freeze PIP. Replay lets you
play back the previous few seconds in a PIP screen—if you
missed the action, replay it as much as you want.

Audio/Video (A/V) Jack Panel

The A/V jack panel allows direct connections with VCRs,
DVDs, high-definition receivers, or other devices, providing
quality TV picture and sound playback.

Audio Volume Leveler (AVL) Control

AVL keeps the TV sound at an even level. Peaks and valleys that
occur at commercial breaks or during program changes are
reduced, providing a more consistent, comfortable sound.

V-Chip (with Channel Lock)

The V-Chip feature (with Channel Lock) will allow you to block
the viewing of channels or programs with certain ratings, and thus
prevent your children from watching inappropriate materials.

Autoprogramming

The TV’s Autoprogram feature scans (when activated) for all
available channels from regular antenna or cable signals and
stores active broadcast stations in the TV’s memory.

Surf Button

Philips Auto Surf™ allows you to easily switch between only the
channels that are of interest to you. Surf allows two-channel
surfing or nine-channel surfing.

Your High-definition-ready Set

Over the Air

Satellite

Cable

High-definition television offers a picture with unprecedented crispness and clarity. The TV broadcast industry is moving toward high definition as

the signal standard. Currently, the number of programs being broadcast in high definition is limited, but this is changing. To view high-definition programs on
your TV, you will need to connect a satellite receiver, cable box, or set-top box that can decode HD signals.

Resolution information

Image resolutions are commonly referred to by a num­ber followed by a letter: 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i.
The number in each format refers to the number of lines
of resolution, so for example both 480i and 480p offer
480 lines of resolution. The "i" or "p" refers to whether
the signal is displayed using respectively interlaced or
progressive scan. Interlaced scan breaks each frame of
video into 2 fields, one made up of even lines and one
made up of odd lines. The image is reproduced by draw­ing all odd lines first (1,3,5,…479) than all the even
ones (2,4,6,….,480). Progressive scan, on the other hand
reproduces an image by drawing all lines in succession
1,2,3,4,….480).

Pre-connection Recommendations

Positioning the TV

Before connecting accessory devices—VCR,
DVD player, or HD satellite receiver, for exam­ple—please keep the following in mind:

• Place the TV on a flat surface. An unlevel sur­face may adversely affect picture performance.

• Do not place the TV on shag carpet or any sur­face that will block the ventilation openings at
the bottom of the set. Blockage will cause the
TV to overheat and shut down.

• Allow 4 to 6 inches of space behind the TV
for ventilation.

• An optional swivel and an optional stand are
available for use with your TV. See your elec­tronics dealer.

• Test various locations in the room to find the
optimal spot to locate the set for best viewing.

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

• Do not expose the TV to rain or moisture.

• To prevent any unsafe situations, do not place
objects on top of the TV.

Providing Protection Against Power
Surges

• Connect all accessory devices before you plug
any of their power cords into the wall outlet or
power strip. NEVER plug your TV into an
outlet that is controlled by a wall switch.

• Turn off the TV and/or accessory devices
before you connect or disconnect any cables.

• Ensure that all antennas and cables are proper­ly grounded. See page 3, “Important Safety
Instructions.”

Protecting Accessory Devices from
Overheating

• Arrange accessory devices so that air can cir­culate freely around them.

• Don’t stack the accessory devices. Arrange
them to allow for good ventilation. The
optional Philips stand provides enough room
for two accessory devices, side by side.

• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier,
place it on the top shelf so the heated air from
it will not flow around other components.

Connecting Cables

Be sure to insert each cable firmly into the cor­rect jack.

Using the Connection Examples in
This Manual

The accessory device jack panels shown are for
example purpose only. The jack panels on your
accessory devices may look different. Also, note
that connections can be made in various ways.
The examples are presented only as guides.

Allow 4 to 6 inches
behind the TV for
ventilation.

Place the TV on
a flat surface.

Do not place the TV on a surface that will block
the air filters located underneath the set.

Situate the TV where
it will not be exposed
to heat or moisture.

For safety, do not
set objects on top
of the TV.

1

Connect the incoming antenna or cable
TV signal to the ANT IN jack on the
back of the VCR.

2

Using a coaxial cable, connect to the
OUT jack on the back of the VCR and
to the TUNER jack on the back of the
TV.

AUDIO and VIDEO OUT jacks on the
back of the VCR to the corresponding
AV2 audio (L and R) and video (V)
jacks on the back of the TV.

4

Press the Source Select button on the
remote control to access the Source
list.

5

Press the Cursor Up or Down button to
select the AV2 input source.

6

Press the OK button to confirm your
choice. The set is now switched to the
AV2 input source for the viewing of pro­grams from the VCR.

NOTE: Since you’ve connected the
cable TV signal directly to the TV’s
tuner (step 2 above), you can watch the
unscrambled programs by simply tun­ing to the desired channel. To store
channels in the TV’s memory, you
must use Autoprogram, which you can
access through “Install” in the TV’s
on-screen menu. See the Autoprogram
section in the Quick Use and Setup
Guide that came with the TV. If you
use Autoprogram, you can select chan­nels by pressing the CH + or – buttons
on the TV remote control (in TV
mode). Otherwise, you must press the
digit (number) buttons to tune directly
to the channel you desire.

Connecting to the Side Inputs: Video Game System

Panel on

Side of

TV

Back of Game System

(example only)

You can label the Side
Audio/Video input source “Game”
if you would like. See page 19 for
details on labeling.

• To simplify making connections, the con­nectors on audio and video cables are
often color coded to match the colors on
TV jacks: yellow for video (composite),
red for right audio, and white for left
audio.

• Inputs AV3–AV6 allow horizontal and verti­cal picture panning using the Cursor Left,
Right, Up, and Down buttons. The Side
input allows vertical picture panning; left
and right panning with the Side input is
possible when the input has been labeled
“Game.” See page 19 for details on source
labeling.

HELPFUL HINTS

1

Using the Audio/Video cable supplied
with your video game system, connect
to the back of the game system and to
the corresponding S-VIDEO and
AUDIO (L and R) jacks in the Side
panel of the TV.

NOTE: If your game system cable
does not have an S-Video plug, you
can instead make a regular Video
connection.

2

Press the Source button on the TV
remote control to access the Source
list.

3

Press the Cursor Up or Down button to
select the Side input source.

4

Press the OK button to confirm your
choice. The set is now switched to the
Side input source for the viewing of
your video game system.

The side panel is also
convenient for con­necting equipment
such as camcorders or
cameras. If the equip­ment has an S-Video
output jack, it is the
suggested one to use for your connection to
receive the best picture. Otherwise, you can
make a regular Video connection. You must
also make an audio connection (L and R for
stereo or L for mono) to receive sound.
Neither an S-Video or Video cable carries a
sound signal.

PROGRAMMING THE TV REMOTE TO OPERATE ACCESSORY DEVICES

The remote control supplied with your television
may also work with a variety of infrared-con­trolled accessory devices such as cable boxes,
VCRs, amplifiers, HD satellite receivers, satellite
receivers, DVD players, and CD players.

1

Press the CBL, VCR, AMP, HD, SAT,
DVD, or CD Mode button, depending
on the type of accessory device you
want to operate. If the function but­tons—Play, CH + or –, Stop, for exam­ple—on the remote control work the
device, the remote is ready to use and
no further steps are required.
If the remote does not work with the
accessory device, proceed to step 2.

Using the Code Entry Method

Please look up the code(s) for your brand of
accessory device (listed on pages 24–25)
before you begin the next few steps.

2

Press the desired Mode button that cor­responds to the type of device you
wish to operate—CBL, VCR, AMP,
HD, SAT, DVD, or CD. A green light
will indicate the mode labeled on the
top of the button, while a red light will
indicate the mode labeled on the bot­tom of the button. If needed, hold the
button down and the light will toggle
between the green and red settings.

3

Press and hold the 1 and 3 Digit
(Number) buttons at the same time until
the Backlight and selected Mode but­tons light up. Then release both buttons.

4

Within 30 seconds of completing step 3
and using the Digit (Number) buttons,
enter the four-digit code from pages
24–25 for your brand of device. Several
codes may be listed for your brand, so
you may need to try them all before the
remote will operate the device.

If a valid code number has been entered, the
Backlight and Mode buttons will turn off and
then blink twice. The remote control will
assign that code number to the mode selected.

Try the function buttons to see if the remote
will operate your accessory device.

If yes, no other steps are required.

If no, try the procedure again with another code
number listed by your brand. Several attempts
may be needed to complete all code numbers.

If none of the codes work, please refer to
page 23 to try the Auto Search Method.

indicate the mode labeled on the bot­tom of the button. If needed, hold the
button down and the light will toggle
between the green and red settings.

3

Press and hold the 1 and 3 Digit
(Number) buttons at the same time until
the Backlight and selected Mode but­tons light up. Then release both buttons.

4

Press and release the red POWER but­ton on the remote control. The
Backlight buttons and the selected
Mode button will turn off.

The remote will start the Auto Search of all
available codes, sending a command to chan­nel up. The backlight will blink after each
code is tried. For devices such as DVD or CD
players, insert a disc and press PLAY on the
device. The remote control will send a com­mand to switch to the next track. Switch AV
receivers to the tuner function.

IMPORTANT: Watch the channel indicator
of your accessory device closely. Once the
right code is found, the channels on your
device will start to scan up.

5

Press and release the red POWER but­ton on the remote control as soon as
the channels start to change. The
Backlight buttons and selected Mode
button will blink twice to indicate the

Turning on Color Enhancement

The Color Enhancement control can improve
the picture quality of pictures with a high sat­uration of color. This control works in four
ways:
Dynamic Blue Stretch corrects the white col­ors toward a more bluish-colored white with­out changing the other colors. Improves the
sharpness of the picture.
Green Enhancement offers a more saturated
green color in case of low green broadcasts,
giving landscapes a fresher and brighter look.
Color-dependent Sharpness improves the
sharpness of the picture through the color
information. Gives the picture more details,
especially in red colors.
Skin-tone Correction adjusts for over satura­tion of red that often appears in skin tones.

Selecting an AutoPicture™ Option

Whether you’re watching a movie or playing

control settings to match your current pro­gram source or content. AutoPicture™ quick­ly resets your TV’s video controls for a num­ber of different types of programs and view­ing conditions that you may have in your
home. The Personal AutoPicture™ settings
are the same as the Picture control adjust­ments made within the on-screen menu.

You can also select AutoPicture™ set­tings by simply pressing the Picture
button on the remote control.

AutoPicture™ Options

Personal settings are based on your personal
choice or viewer control preferences.

Rich emphasizes very vibrant colors. (This is
a good choice when AV mode is used in a
brightly lighted room.)

Natural sets picture controls at midlevel set­tings for consistent viewing conditions.

Soft emphasizes warm colors. (This is a good
choice for dimly lighted room. It gives a cine­ma-like effect when the light is switched off.)

Multimedia emphasizes soft colors. (This is
a good choice for playing computer games,
for example.)

ECO reduces brightness and contrast settings
to low.

Selecting a Picture Format Option

Conventional 4:3 Screen Size

Your TV’s 16:9 Screen Size

Your TV’s wide screen (16:9 aspect ratio)
delivers a home-cinema experience that isn’t
possible with a conventional (4:3 aspect ratio)
set. The 16:9 format of high-definition (HD)
programs and other widescreen-format video
sources appear more lifelike, dramatic, and
theatrical. Black or gray bars are diminished
or eliminated. As the television industry
moves toward the high-definition format stan­dard and more HD broadcasts become avail­able, you will be able to see the broadcasts as
they were intended—in 16:9 format.

For flexibility in viewing conventional 4:3­format video sources on your TV’s wide
screen, you have the options Automatic,”
“Super zoom,” “Panoramic,” “4:3,” “Movie
expand 14:9,” “Movie expand 16:9,” “16:9
subtitle,” or “Wide screen.”

NOTE: The Automatic option is disabled for
AV3–AV6.

Page 36 explains how to select a picture for­mat option.

Your TV’s Picture Format Options

Super zoom

Removes the black or gray bars
on the sides of a 4:3-format pic­ture with minimal distortion. Part
of the top and bottom portions of
the picture are excluded from the
screen.

Panoramic

Evenly stretches the edges of the
picture to fill the TV’s wide
screen.

4:3

Displays a conventional 4:3 pic­ture without change. Black or
gray bars will show at the left and
right sides.

Movie expand 14:9

Expands the picture to 14:9 movie
aspect ratio. Part of the top and bot­tom portions of the picture are
excluded from the screen. Black or
gray bars are shown at the left and
right sides.

Movie expand 16:9

Alters the image both horizontal­ly (stretched) and vertically
(cropped) to fill the TV’s wide
screen. Part of the top and bottom
portions of the picture will be
excluded from the screen.

16:9 subtitle

Zooms the picture for a full view
of subtitles or other information
displayed at the bottom of the
picture. Part of the top portion of
the picture is excluded from the
screen.

Wide screen

Evenly stretches the width of the
picture to fill the screen.

The term aspect ratio refers to the relation­ship between the width and height of a TV
screen. Historically, TV screen width has
been 33 percent greater than its height,
amounting to a 4:3 aspect ratio. The width
of your widescreen TV, however, is nearly
80 percent greater than its height, which
means its aspect ratio is 16:9. This screen
corresponds well with the tendency of the
eyes to feel more comfortable with fields of
view and action planes that are horizontally
oriented. The wide screen is also propor­tionally truer to the formats in which
movies are filmed and presented in theaters.
However, many widescreen DVDs will still

Blocking Programming Based on TV Ratings

CH

None—programs that are either rated “None” or have no content advisory. Selecting this option will block all such programs.

TV-Y (All Children)—programs designed to be appropriate for all children, especially ones ages 2–6. These programs are not expected to frighten

younger children.

TV-Y7 (Directed to Older Children)—programs designed for children ages 7 and older. These programs may be more appropriate for children who
have acquired the development skills needed to distinguish between make-believe and reality. Such programs may include mild fantasy and comic vio­lence (FV).

TV-G (General Audience)—most parents will consider programs that are rated TV-G to be suitable for children of all ages. Such programs have little
or no violence, no strong language, and little or no sexual dialogue or sexual situations.

TV-PG (Parental Guidance Suggested)—programs contain material that parents may find unsuitable for younger children. This type of programming
has one or more of the following: moderate violence (V), some sexual situations (S), infrequent coarse language (L), or some suggestive dialogue (D).

TV-14 (Parents Strongly Cautioned)—programs contain material that many parents will find unsuitable for children under 14 years of age. These
programs have one or more of the following: intense violence (V); intense sexual situations (S); strong, coarse language (L); or intensely suggestive
dialogue (D).

TV-MA (Mature Audience Only)—specifically designed to be viewed by adults and therefore may be unsuitable for children under 17. Such programs have
one or more of the following: graphic violence (V); explicit sexual situations (S); or crude, indecent language (L).

Dual Screen

Large PIP

Small PIP

Your Cineos TV has a Double Window (DW) and a Picture-in-Picture
(PIP) mode in which it is possible to see a signal from another source with­out interrupting the program/video that you are looking at.

When switching on DW or PIP mode we want you to be aware that the
color and picture settings of the left window (for DW) respectively of the
main screen (for PIP) are applicable to the full screen. This may result in
the fact that colors on the right window (for DW) or the small window (for
PIP) look different than when that signal is displayed on the main screen.
So for instance if a disc from a DVD player is playing in the right window
while you watch TV in the left window it may be that the colors of the
DVD player look different from when the DVD is playing full screen.

CLEANING THE

TV

Be sure the TV is
unplugged before
cleaning it.

Use a nonscratching duster.

Soak the wiping cloth in
cool, clean water and mild
detergent. Then ring the
cloth out before using.

Don’t use chemicals on or
near the TV.

WARNING

To avoid possible shock hazard, be sure the
TV is unplugged from the electrical outlet
before cleaning.

Cleaning the Cabinet

• Regularly dust the TV cabinet with a dry,
nonscratching duster.

• Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a
soft, clean cloth. Even if the surfaces are
very dirty, do not apply cleaner to them
directly. Soak the cloth in a solution of
cool, clean water and mild soap or deter­gent. Wring out the cloth and wipe the cab­inet surfaces clean. Then use a clean, dry
cloth to dry the wiped surfaces.

• Occasionally vacuum the ventilation slots
on the back cover of the set. See the next
section on “Cleaning or Replacing the
Filters.”

• Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or
other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as
they might cause permanent marring of the
cabinet finish.

• The television contains plastic parts. DO
NOT use benzine, thinners, or other chemi­cals to clean. DO NOT use insecticide or
other volatile substances nearby. DO NOT
allow the TV to come into contact for
extended periods of time with rubber or
vinyl products.

Cleaning the Screen

• Use a dry soft cloth to wipe the screen. Use
even, easy, vertical strokes. Take care not
to scratch or damage the screen surface.
Avoid wearing jewelry or using anything
abrasive.

Cleaning or Replacing the Filters

Locations of Air Filters

1

2

The Cineos TV has two filters that cover air
inlets on the bottom of the set. Maintaining a
free flow of air through the inlets is very impor­tant. If the air filters become dirty, clogged, or
blocked, the temperature in the set will rise.

Should the heat level become too high due to
blockage, a sensor detects this, and a warning
message appears on screen alerting you to
check the air inlets for blockage. The message
will be displayed for 6 seconds. It reappears
every 15 minutes as long as the temperature
remains too high.

If the internal temperature of the TV rises to
high, a warning message alerts you that the TV
is shutting down. If the temperature remains at
this high level for 1 minute, the TV will enter
Standby mode. In Standby mode, the TV is off.

Be sure the TV is not placed on a surface (such
as a shag carpet) that will prevent the free flow
of air through the inlets, and periodically clean
or replace the filters as detailed in the following
instructions.

WARNING: Do not tip the TV when remov­ing or installing the filters. This may result in
instability of the TV.

1

Place your fingers under one of the fil­ter slots located at either bottom left or
right in back of the TV cabinet.

2

Grasp the filter and gently pull it
straight out.

3

Examine the filter for dust or other
contamination. If it is dirty, clean it
with a vacuum cleaner. DO NOT
WASH it. Replace the filter if vacuum­ing does not sufficiently clean it.

To order replacement filters, call the
Philips Customer Care Center at
1-800-531-0039. The part number for
the Philips TV inlet filter assembly is
3135 037 51810.

WARNING:

DO NOT operate the TV without fil­ters. This will cause serious damage to
the TV.

4

Turn the filter so that the arrow is
pointing toward the center of the TV.
Align the edges of the filter with the
slot track, then gently slide it all the
way back into the slot. A click sound
can be heard as the filter reaches the
correct position.

The Cineos TV uses a lamp with a limited
lifetime to illuminate the picture. A Lifetime
counter in the TV records the operating time
of the lamp. One hundred hours before the
lamp reaches the end of its life, a warning
message will appear on screen. This will
allow you to prepare to replace the lamp or
take action right away. The message will dis­appear within 6 seconds. It will reappear each
time the TV is turned on until the lamp is
replaced.

To order a replacement lamp, call the
Philips Customer Care Center at
1-800-531-0039. A Philips associate will
be happy to assist you. The part number
for the Philips TV replacement lamp is
3122 438 71310.

Here are the steps for replacing the lamp:

1

Power off the TV. Unplug the TV.

2

The lamp door is located on the back
of the TV next to the power cord.

right to open.

CAUTION: The lamp gets extremely
hot. Allow a cool-down time before
removing the lamp.

3

Unscrew the thumb screws until they
are dangling.

4

Reset your Cineos TV

• Modern TVs are complicated systems which consist of multiple hardware and software subsystems which operate in conjunction
with each other. One consequence of the increasing complexity of televisions is that they often require some additional time to
fully power on or off as all of the subsystems must power up or down as well. Occasionally one of these subsystems may not
fully engage or disengage before an additional function is begun- for example pressing numerous buttons on the remote before the
set is fully powered up. In such cases, the set may appear to be frozen or non-responsive.

If you are experiencing unexpected behavior from your Cineos TV the first possible fix is to unplug the set from the outlet for a
minute or so. This will ensure that all subsystems are fully powered down. Then plug it back in after which the Cineos will restart
and perform internal diagnostics which should result in normal operation.

TV-related Checks

The TV won’t switch on.

• Make sure the power plug is plugged in.

• If you’re using the TV remote control to turn the TV on, be sure the remote is in TV mode. (page *Q6)

• Plug something else in to be sure the wall outlet (or extension cord) is receiving power.

• The remote control could have a problem. See the troubleshooting section “Remote-related Checks” on page 74.

• Make sure the lamp door is not ajar. The TV is designed not to operate with the lamp door open. (pages *Q1, 71)

• If a red light is blinking on the front of the TV, the set has entered protection mode. If this happens it usually means you simply
need to reset the TV. Unplug the TV for 60 seconds. Then plug the TV in and try to switch it on. If the light is still blinking red,
call the Customer Care Center at 1-800-531-0039.

The TV switches off unexpectedly.

• If the lamp door is open, the TV will shut down. The TV is designed not to operate when the lamp door is ajar.

• If a red light is blinking on the front of the TV, the set has entered protection mode. Unplug and plug the set back in a couple of
times and try to switch it on. If the problem persists, contact the Customer Care Center at 1-800-531-0039.

• The Sleeptimer may have been set to turn the TV off. Turn the TV back on if desired. (page 48)

The TV switches on unexpectedly.

• The On Timer may have been set. (page 49)

An on-screen message tells you that it is time to replace the lamp.

• The message appears on screen when the lamp has 100 hours of life left, and will reappear each time the TV is turned on until the
lamp is replaced. Prepare to replace the lamp or take action right away. (pages 70–72)

An on-screen message instructs you to check the air inlets for blockage.

• Check the air inlets and filters for blockage and clean or replace the air filters as necessary. (pages 68–69)

You have a picture but no sound.

• Make sure Mute is not on. (page *Q6)

• The TV speakers may be turned off. Make sure the Center Channel Amp Switch on the back of the TV is in the INT position.
(page 7)

*Q refers to the Quick Use and Setup Guide that came with your TV.

75

Troubleshooting

TV-related Checks (continued)

You have no picture.

• If you have made a connection to the TV’s Tuner jack be sure to use Autoprogram. (page *Q8).

• If you want to view materials from an accessory device (DVD player, VCR, or satellite receiver, for example) be sure you have
selected the input source to which you have connected the device—AV1, AV2, AV3, AV4, AV5, AV6, or Side. (pages *Q4, *Q6,
10–16, 18, 20)

• Make sure you have made connections correctly. (pages *Q3–5, 10–16, 18, 20)

You have no picture and no sound.

• If you see a blinking orange light on the front of the set, this means that the lamp needs to be replaced. (pages 70–72)

You see scrolling images.

• Make sure you have made connections correctly. (pages *Q3–5, 10–16, 18, 20)

TV-related Checks (continued)

The picture appears doubled or tripled.

• If you are using an antenna, be sure it is facing in the correct direction. Also, check to see if it may be receiving signals that are
being reflected off of mountains or buildings.

The picture shakes or is not clear.

• If you are using an antenna, make sure it is not broken or shorted, and make sure the antenna cable is connected properly and
securely.

• If you are using a VCR and selecting channels on the TV, make sure the TV/VCR mode on the VCR is set to TV.

The picture has no colors or colors are not correct.

• Make sure you have made connections correctly. (pages *Q3–5, 10–16, 18, 20)

• If you have connected accessory equipment, such as an HD satellite receiver, make sure the color setting on the accessory equip­ment is correct. See the user manual for the HD satellite receiver.

The TV sound has an unusual quality.

• Check the TV’s Equalizer control to be sure it is set to the option you want. (page 39)

Remote-related Checks

The remote control does not work.

• Make sure nothing is blocking the path between the remote control and the TV or accessory device you want to operate.

• Make sure you point the remote directly at the TV or accessory device you want to operate.

• If you want to operate the TV, make sure the remote is in TV mode. If you want to operate an accessory device, program the
remote for the device if necessary and make sure the remote is in the appropriate mode for the device. (pages *Q6, 22–26)

• Make sure you have installed the batteries correctly. (page *Q6)

• The batteries could be dead. When the batteries in the remote run low, the remote will send a “Battery Low” command to the TV.
The TV will then display a message on the screen reminding you to replace the batteries as soon as possible.

• You may want to try taking the remote batteries out and putting them back in. NOTE: After taking the batteries out, you may
need to reprogram the remote for use with accessory devices.
