PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS

Active Control, APAC, Easy Tune, Incredible Surround, and IntelliSense are trademarks of Philips Consumer Electronics North America.
IntelliSense is a registered trademark of Philips Consumer Electronics North America. Copyright 2002 Philips Consumer Electronics.
*Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. “Dolby” and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.

Philips HD Pix Optics System answers the demand for extreme resolution HD with cutting-edge processing and display technolo-

gy, including microphosphor CRTs, hybrid projection lenses, first-surface mirrors, fine-pitched lenticular screens, and Philips wide­band amplifier.

Auto IntelliSense®Focus Automatically adjusts the picture convergence at the push of a key.After reviewing a special test pattern,

optical sensors send position information to the controller, which then corrects the picture.Auto IntelliSense

®

Focus responds to
the natural and man-made magnetic field conditions where the projection TV is located, so you always enjoy the best possible pic­ture.

100Hz Digital Scan eliminates picture flickering and line jitter, offering a stable picture for relaxed viewing (no eye strain).The

100Hz digital scan option can be selected in the onscreen menu.

Progressive Scan

doubles the number of visible picture lines per field by displaying all picture frame lines at once. This minimizes

the visibility of the scan lines.The progressive scan can be selected in the onscreen menu.

High-definition Inputs allow you to connect digital equipment with 1080i and 480p signals for 60Hz and 576p signals for 50Hz.The AV4

sockets are for YPbPr or RGB+HV sync connections.The AV5 sockets are for RGB (or YPbPr with adapter) DB15 connections, plus audio.

Component Video Inputs

support advanced video input—such as DVD video—for superb colour performance.

Active Control™continuously measures and corrects all incoming signals with automatic digital noise reduction and auto sharp-

ness to provide the best possible picture.

Automatic Phosphor Aging Compensation (APAC™) functions like a screen saver for your TV. Nonmoving images can be bad

for a television screen. If a video image remains stationary, it can eventually leave a permanent after-image.Video games and the sta­tionary black bars around some movies are examples of sources of concern. Philips APAC technology addresses this problem.
Periodically, APAC automatically shifts your television picture in increments that are very small and yet large enough to blur image
retention that can lead to screen burn. Coupled with the Philips Auto Screen Format feature, APAC helps provide you protection
from the dreaded screen burn.

Protective Screen Filter (if provided; availability varies) gives the best possible picture while still protecting your investment. Specifically

formulated by Philips for HD displays, this protective screen filter helps prevent accidental damage to the delicate front lenticular screen.

Dolby* Virtual Surround

uses two speakers to simulate the surround effect produced by a multichannel system.

Digital Comb Filter

makes the finest colour details purer and sharper. It eliminates disturbing cross-colour (Moiré) effects between
different colours that you normally see with striped clothing worn on camera. The digital comb filter works by electronically sepa­rating the chroma (colour) and luminance (black and white) components of the TV signal, preventing cross-colour interference.

Dual-window, Two-tuner Picture-in-picture (PIP)

allows you to watch two shows, side by side. No video recorder is necessary for

tuning PIP pictures.Your set’s two separate tuners let you select two shows and display both in windows of equal proportion.

Supporting Features

• Digital Colour Transient Improvement (CTI)

• Digital Histogram

• Picture Freeze

• Auto Aspect Ratio Adaptation (and 4:3, expand 4:3, panorama, wide screen)

• Incredible Surround™

• Automatic Volume Leveler (AVL)

• Independent Headphone Volume Control

• Easy Tune™ (Auto Search,Auto Tune, and Auto Install)

• Alternate Channel

• Smart Surf

• Low-power standby (<1 W)

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.

2

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

3

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.

4

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.

power switch on the front of the TV. If
Standby key is lighted, press the CH
