gramming since the inception of color from black and white.
To begin, you will need to select one of the following connections. Depending on the type of
signal source you have. If you are connecting a cable or antenna directly from the wall to
your TV, select connection A. If you are connecting a cable box with RF (coaxial) cable output to your TV, select connection B. If you are connecting a cable box or receiver with AV
outputs, select connection C. If you are connecting an HDTV cable box, select connection D.

our home’s signal input might come
from a single (75 ohm) round cable,
a Converter Box, or from an antenna. In
either case the connection to the TV is
very easy.
1
If your Cable TV signal or
Antenna signal is a round
cable (75 ohm) then you're
ready to connect to the TV.
If your antenna has flat
twin-lead wire (300 ohm),
you first need to attach the
antenna wires to the screws on
a 300 to 75 ohm adapter.

HDTV BOOT CAMP
Analog
Digital
Channels
Whether you use a high-tech, multifunction remote control or a dial, analog channels are what we’ve been
watching for many years. What you see
is what you get.
Channels
With Digital TV, each channel can have
up to 999 subchannels. Broadcasters
can use these to send a variety of information.
Subchannels are represented in
this format:10.2. In this example
“10” is the major channel and “2”
is the subchannel. You may also
see this written as 10-2.
Signal Strength
If the signal from the broadcaster or
cable provider is weak or suffers interference, your picture and sound quality
will diminish. You can improve the picture by adjusting the antenna or removing sources of interference.
Signal Strength
Signal strength for digital signals is only
an issue at a critical point. With digital
TV you either have a crystal clear picture or none at all. This means that
under normal circumstances, you will
not have to adjust your antenna. If a
signal is so weak that it does not produce a picture you can adjust your
antenna to see if it helps. However,
you will either have clear picture and
sound or none at all.
Important: Even if they register as strong
signals, your DTV treats scrambled signals
as if they are weak signals. No amount of
antenna fine tuning will resolve a scrambled
signal.
Channel Tuning and
Autoprogramming
Analog channels only carry a small
amount of information and are almost
instantaneously tuned by a TV.
Likewise, it takes only long enough to
surf through the channels for the TV to
autoprogram analog channels.
Channel Tuning and
Autoprogramming
Digital channels carry a great deal more
information. In addition they may have
up to 999 subchannels. This means it
takes longer for a TV to tune to a digital channel. You may notice a slight
delay as you surf digital channels
This also effects autoprogramming
which may take up to 30 minutes
depending on the number of digital
channels available.

COMPATIBILITY INFORMATION FOR HD INPUTS
Y
our set’s HD inputs (HD INPUT-AV 3, HD
INPUT-AV 4 and HD INPUT-AV 5) are
designed to accept high-definition signal standards 480p, 480i, 720p and 1080i as specified by the Electronic Industries Association.
Output standards may vary by manufacturer.
Refer to the directions-for-use manual for the
digital source equipment before connecting.
Your TV’s HD input jacks are compatible
with some digital equipment having RGB outputs with “sync on green” or RGB with “separate H and V sync.” As with HD component
video signals, output standards may vary by
manufacturer. Refer to the directions-for-use
manual for the receiver before connecting.
• No industry standards have
been established for HD television RGB signal systems, timing,
synchronization, and signal
strengths. The HD INPUT-AV
3 or 4 RGB inputs on your
Philips TV will not be compatible with all digital equipment
that offers RGB outputs. If the
digital equipment you want to
connect offers both component video and RGB, component video is the suggested
type of connection to use.
• Your TV’s onscreen INSTALL
submenu provides the option
of switching the AV3 or 4 signal source between YPbPr and
RGB color-space settings. The
option is available only when
you have selected the AV3 or
4 signal source (using the AV
button on the remote or the
Source Select button on the
TV). The default setting for
AV3 and 4 is YPbPr.

normally matched with a metal plug (Ftype) end connector that screws (or
pushes) directly onto a 75-ohm input
found on the television or VCR.
Comb Filter • TV filter that removes
distortion, resulting in a sharper and
purer color display.
Component Video Inputs • Inputs
that allow the separate reception of
blue, red, and luminance signals. These

playback of digital signal-source material. Component video inputs allow for
improved bandwidth information not
possible through composite video or SVideo connections.
Composite Video Input • An input
in which all the components required
for displaying the onscreen image are
combined in one signal.
Convergence • The technique used
in color TV for bringing the red, green,
and blue color beams together so that
they hit the same part of the picture
tube screen at the same time. This
avoids color fringes around images in
the picture.
HDMI • Stands for High Definition
Multimedia Interface. It is a digial connection that can carry digital HD video
as well digital multichannel audio. By
elimating the conversion to analog signals it delivers a perfect picture and
sound quality.
High-definition Television (HDTV)
• HDTV is high-resolution digital television. It has lifelike pictures, and with it
films retain their original width,
enhancing the home theater experience.
Incredible Surround™ • False
acoustic management of the audio signal that produces a dramatic expansion
of the wall of sound that surrounds the
listener and heightens overall viewing
pleasure.
Integrated HDTV Tuner • A built
in tuner that receives and displays terrestrial ATSC and unscrambled cable
(64/256 QAM) signals. It eliminates the
need for an additional HD settop box.
Interlaced • A picture-scanning tech-
nique that improves the appearance of
onscreen motion. It also helps smooth
jagged lines that are sometimes seen
on curved and angled surfaces in the
picture.
NTSC • National Television Standards
Committee format devised in the
1940s for TV broadcast analog video
signals
(525 lines: 30 Hz).
Onscreen Displays (OSD) • The
wording or messages generated by the
television (or VCR) to help you with
specific feature controls (color adjustment or programming, for example).
Picture-in-Picture • The showing of
two pictures on the TV screen at the
same time (one main screen picture
and one small picture, or PIP).
Progressive Scan • A picture-scan-

ning technique that doubles the number of picture lines, eliminating the
flicker and providing a jitter-free
picture.
PTV • Projection Television. (Rear-
and/or front-projection design systems
are available.)
QAM • Also known as “Cable in the
clear,” QAM is an unscrambled digital
cable signal.
RGB • Red, green, and blue signal.
These are the primary colors of light
that are used to produce a picture in
television. By mixing levels or R, G, and
B, all colors (chrominance and luminance) are reproduced.
RF • Radio Frequency or modulated
signal design used as the carrier for television broadcasts.
Second Audio Program (SAP) •
An additional audio channel provided
for in the Multichannel Television
Sound (MTS) broadcast standard. A
monaural soundtrack included within
the recorded or video signal (usually
containing a second language translation for the displayed programming).
SPDIF • (Sony/Philips Digital
Interface) is a standard audio transfer
file format that elimates the conversion to and from an analog format,
which could degrade the signal quality.
S-Video Input • Signal input that
allows direct connection of high-resolution video sources, such as a satellite
receiver, DVD player, S (Super)-VHS
videocassette recorder, or video
games. Provides improved picture resolution, sharpness, and clarity.
Twin–lead Wire • The more com-
monly used name for the two-strand,
300-ohm antenna wire used with many
indoor and outdoor antenna systems.
In many cases, this type of antenna
wire requires an additional adapter (or
balun) to connect to the 75-ohm input
terminals designed into the more
recent TVs and VCRs.
480p • Digital picture format with 704
x 480 pixels, sent at 60 complete
frames per second. This is the output
format of progressive-scan DVD players.
