Stand or wall mounting

The foot of the TV stand has the TV loudspeakers built-in. Always connect the cable of the foot to the TV for sound. For best sound, place the TV on a hard surface.

Wall mounting

With the foot and neck of the TV stand, you can mount the TV to the wall. Combine the foot and neck to make a swivel mount or alternatively use only the foot to mount the TV close to the wall.

Find all mounting instructions in the Quick Start Guide that came with the TV. In case you lost this guide, you can download the guide from www.philips.com

Use the product type number of the TV to look for the Quick Start Guide to download.

Caution

Wall mounting the TV requires special skills and should only be performed by qualified personnel. The TV wall mounting should meet safety standards according to the TV's weight. Read also the safety precautions before positioning the TV.

TP Vision Netherlands B.V. bears no responsibility for improper mounting or any mounting that results in accident or injury.

VESA info

Your TV is prepared for a VESA-compliant wall mount bracket (sold separately). Find the suitable VESA code next to the TV type number.

52PFL9606 - VESA MIS-F 300,300,M6 46PFL9706 - VESA MIS-F 300,300,M6 37PFL9606 - VESA MIS-F 200,200,M6 32PFL9606 - VESA MIS-F 200,100,M6

•Position the TV up to 25 cm away from the wall for the best Ambilight effect.

Getting started / Setting up

Position the TV at the ideal viewing distance. Get more from HD TV picture or any picture without straining your eyes. Find the 'sweet spot', right in front of the TV, for the best possible TV experience and relaxed viewing.

The ideal distance to watch TV from is three times its diagonal screen size. When seated, your eyes should be level with the centre of the screen.

For best sound, place the TV on a hard surface.

Safety

Read and understand all instructions before you use the TV. If damage is caused by failure to follow instructions, the warranty does not apply.

Risk of electric shock or fire!

•Never expose the TV to rain or water. Never place liquid containers, such as vases, near the TV. If liquids are spilt on or into the TV, disconnect the TV from the power outlet immediately. Contact Consumer Care to have the TV checked before use.

•Never expose the TV, remote control or batteries to excessive heat. Never place them near burning candles, naked flames or other heat sources, including direct sunlight.

•Never insert objects into the ventilation slots or other openings on the TV.

•Never place heavy objects on the power cord.

•Avoid force coming onto power plugs. Loose power plugs can cause arcing or fire. Ensure that no strain is exerted on the power cord when you swivel the TV screen.

•To disconnect the TV from the mains power, the power plug of the TV must be disconnected. When disconnecting the power, always pull the power plug, never the cord. Ensure that you have full access to the power plug, power cord and outlet socket at all times.

Risk of injury or damage to the TV!

•Two people are required to lift and carry a TV that weighs more than 25 kg or 55 lbs.

•If you mount the TV on a stand, only use the supplied stand. Secure the stand to the TV tightly. Place the TV on a flat, level surface that can support the weight of the TV and the stand.

•When wall mounted, ensure that the wall mount can safely bear the weight of the TV set. TP Vision Netherlands B.V. bears no responsibility for improper wall mounting that results in accident, injury or damage.

•Parts of this product are made of glass. Handle with care to avoid injury or damage.

Risk of damage to the TV!

Before you connect the TV to the power outlet, ensure that the power voltage matches the value printed on the back of the TV. Never connect the TV to the power outlet if the voltage is different.

Risk of injury to children!

Follow these precautions to prevent the TV from toppling over and causing injury to children:

•Never place the TV on a surface covered by a cloth or other material that can be pulled away.

•Ensure that no part of the TV hangs over the edge of the mounting surface.

•Never place the TV on tall furniture, such as a bookcase, without anchoring both the furniture and TV to the wall or a suitable support.

•Teach children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the TV.

Risk of swallowing batteries!

The remote control may contain coin-type batteries which can easily be swallowed by small children. Keep these batteries out of reach of children at all times.

Risk of overheating!

Never install the TV in a confined space. Always leave a space of at least 10 cm or 4 inches around the TV for ventilation. Ensure curtains or other objects never cover the ventilation slots on the TV.

Lightning storms

Disconnect the TV from the power outlet and antenna before lightning storms. During lightning storms, never touch any part of the TV, power cord or antenna cable.

Risk of hearing damage!

Avoid using earphones or headphones at high volumes or for prolonged periods of time.

Low temperatures

If the TV is transported in temperatures below 5°C or 41°F, unpack the TV and wait until the TV temperature reaches room temperature before connecting the TV to the power outlet.

Screen care

•Never touch, push, rub or strike the screen with any object.

•Unplug the TV before cleaning.

•Clean the TV and frame with a soft damp cloth. Never use substances such as alcohol, chemicals or household cleaners on the TV.

•To avoid deformations and colour fading, wipe off water drops as quickly as possible.

•Avoid stationary images as much as possible. Stationary images are images that remain onscreen for extended periods of time. Stationary images include onscreen menus, black bars, time displays, etc. If you must use stationary images, reduce screen contrast and brightness to avoid screen damage.

Screen care 46PFL9706

Moth eye

• For excellent brightness and contrast, even in bright daylight conditions, the screen of this TV has a Moth -eye anti-reflective finishing. Avoid touching the TV screen as much as possible. Only remove the protective sheet after setting up the TV.

www.philips.com/support

The protective sheet is made from PET and is recyclable.

Temperature and humidity

In rare occasions, depending on temperature and humidity, minor condensation can occur on the inside of the TV glass front (on some models).

•sit at least 3 times the height of the TV screen away from the TV, but no further than 6 metres away.

•avoid fluorescent lighting (such as TL lighting or certain energy saving light bulbs which operate on a low frequency) and direct sunlight as they may interfere with the 3D experience.

Health warning

•If you or your family has a history of epilepsy or photosensitive seizures, consult a medical professional before exposing yourself to flashing light sources, rapid image sequences or 3D viewing.

•To avoid discomfort such as dizziness, headache or disorientation, we recommend not watching 3D for extended periods of time.

If you experience any discomfort, stop watching 3D and do not immediately engage in any potentially hazardous activity (for example driving a car) until your symptoms have disappeared. If symptoms persist, do not resume watching 3D without consulting a medical professional first.

• Parents should monitor their children during 3D viewing and ensure they do not experience any discomfort as mentioned above. Watching 3D is not recommended for children under 6 years of age as their visual system is not fully developed yet.

•Do not use the 3D glasses for any purpose other than watching 3D TV.

•CHOKING HAZARD - Do not let children under 6 years of

age play with the 3D glasses, they could choke on the battery lid or battery (if present).

Cleaning and care

22	Basics / 3D

•Do not expose the 3D glasses to direct sunlight, heat, fire or water. This may result in a product malfunction or fire.

•Use a clean soft cloth (microfibre or cotton flannel) to clean the lenses to avoid scratching them. Never spray cleaner directly onto the 3D glasses. This may damage the electronics.

•Do not drop, bend or apply force to the lenses of the 3D glasses.

•Do not use cleaning chemicals containing alcohol, solvent, surfactant, or wax, benzene, thinner, mosquito repellent or lubricant. Using these chemicals can cause discoloration or cracks.
