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.

CENTER CHANNEL AMP INPUT Click-fit Terminals

Provides speaker-wire input terminals for connection of an external home-cinema surround-sound system amplifier. For this use, set the switch to “EXT,” and the TV speakers become the center speakers for the home-cinema surroundsound system. NOTE: If no audio is heard from the set, check to make sure the Center Channel Amp switch is in the INT position. This switch should be in the EXT position only when an external center channel input is connected to the Click-fit Terminals.

SIDE JACK PANEL Signals accepted: Analog NTSC

(480i). Inputs available: S-Video (Y/C) and CVBS, plus audio left and right. Output available: Headphone. Only one of the inputs can be used at a time. Select the Side source, and the TV detects the input to which you have connected. Connections must be made to the audio inputs for sound.

Definitions: NTSC—National Television System Committee. CVBS—labeled “V,” provides a small step up in quality from the Tuner (RF) input. Called

Composite Video. S-Video (Y/C)—provides better picture quality than CVBS. Separates the signal into color and

brightness. YPbPr—provides the best quality video signal. Called Component Video Input, the signal is

split into three parts, two color and one brightness.

MON OUT Output Jacks

Provide video and audio output signals from all TV when those sources are being viewed on the main screen. Output from the audio L/R jacks is at a fixed volume level; changing the TV volume does not affect them. Adjust the volume at your external home cinema system.

AV 2 Input Jacks Signals accepted: NTSC (480i). Inputs available: S-Video (Y/C) and CVBS, plus

audio left and right.

Use only one of the video signal inputs at a time.

If you should forget and have both types of signal connected, the set will automatically show the S-Video, since it is of better quality than CVBS. For sound, connections must be made to the AV2 audio inputs.

SUB OUT Output Jack

Provides a signal to an external powered subwoofer.

AV3 Input Jacks Signals accepted: NTSC (480i), 480p, 720p, and

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.

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.

• To simplify making connections, the connectors on audio and video cables are often color coded to match the colors on TV jacks: green for Y, blue for Pb, and red for Pr; also red for right audio, and white for left audio.

• The names for the component video jacks may differ depending on the DVD player or accessory digital source equipment used. For example, besides YPbPr, you may see R-Y/B-Y/Y; or CrCbY. Although abbreviations and terms may vary, the letters B and R stand for the blue and red color component signal connectors, respectively, and Y indicates the luminance signal. If necessary, refer to the user manual for your DVD or digital accessory for more information.

• If you experience difficulties receiving sound with a DVD disc, check the sound settings through the DVD disc’s menu.

nectors on audio cables are often color coded to match the colors on TV jacks: red for right audio, and white for left audio.

• Because DVI is such new technology, the

electronics industry is still working toward a decision on one standard. Philips testing has determined that compatibility issues exist with respect to a limited number of high-definition receivers when they are connected to the DVI input on this television. If you should experience difficulties, please contact our Customer Care Center at 1800-531-0039.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Auto Search Method of programming the remote control can take several minutes to complete. So before starting, it is recommended that you sit in a comfortable position at least six feet from the accessory device. You will have to hold the remote so that it is pointed at the front of the device for the entire time the search is taking place.

Turn the accessory device on using the device’s power button.

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.

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.

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 Auto Search code setup is complete.

NOTE: If any other buttons are pressed during the procedure, the Auto Search will end.

Remember, Auto Search can take several minutes to complete, so please be patient.

Turning on Color Enhancement

The Color Enhancement control can dramatically 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.

Press the Menu button on the remote to display the on-screen menu.

Press the Cursor Right button to select “Picture.”

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 levels as a power consumption saving measure.

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.

HELPFUL HINT

HECK IT OUT

Automatic (not depicted)

Makes the picture fill the screen as much as possible when the presence of black or gray bars is detected.

Blocking Programming Based on TV Ratings

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).

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.

Page 66

Cleaning or Replacing the Filters

Locations of Air Filters

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 are allowed to become dirty, clogged, or blocked, the temperature in the set will rise.

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

If the internal temperature of the TV is allowed to rise to a level that if prolonged could damage the TV, a warning message alerting you that the TV is shutting down will appear. Then, 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.

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

Grasp the filter and gently pull it straight out.

Cleaning or Replacing the Filters

Continued from page 68.

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. A Philips associate will be happy to assist you. 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.

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.

Replacing the Lamp

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:

Power off the TV. Unplug the TV.

The lamp door is located on the back of the TV next to the power cord. Gently slide the door completely to the right to open.

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

Unscrew the thumb screws until they are dangling.

Lift the handle out.

Continued on page 71.

NOTE: A blinking orange light in the Active Standby Window means that the lamp is worn out, dead, or has expired and needs to be replaced.

Page 69

Replacing the Lamp

Go to page 72 for instructions for resetting the Lamp Lifetime counter through the TV’s onscreen menu.

Groove

Continued from page 70.

CAUTION: When removing the lamp, do not touch the glass envelope. It may still be hot.

Grasp the handle, then pull out and slightly down to remove.

WARNING: The lamp contains mercury. Dispose of the lamp in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.

CAUTION: When installing the new lamp, do not touch the glass envelope. Oil from skin can reduce lamp life.

Align the groove on top of the new lamp’s housing with the corresponding groove pocket inside the TV, then slide the new lamp into place.

Tighten the thumb screws clockwise until finger tight only. Do not overtighten.

Slide the lamp door closed.

IMPORTANT: The door must be closed completely to the left. Otherwise, the TV will not operate.

Resetting the Lamp’s Lifetime Counter

After installing a new lamp in the TV, you need to enter the “Lamp rating” list in the onscreen menu and select the alphabetical code that is provided with the lamp. This will be a letter from A–Z. The letter represents the lifetime of the lamp. By inputting the code, you are telling the TV’s Lamp Lifetime Counter the lifetime of the new lamp.

The next step is to use the “Lamp replaced control” to tell the TV that you have installed a new lamp. This control resets the Lifetime Counter to 0 for the new lamp and begins keeping track of the lifetime of the new lamp.

Press the Menu button on the remote control to display the on-screen menu.

Press the Cursor Down button to select “Settings.”

Press the Cursor Right button to select the “General” menu.

Press the Cursor Down button repeatedly until “Lamp rating” is selected.

Press the Cursor Right button to enter the rating list.

If necessary, press the Cursor Down button as many times as necessary to select the letter for your replacement lamp.

Press the Cursor Left button to return to the “General” menu.

Press the Cursor Down button to select “Lamp replaced.”

Press the OK button to confirm that you have changed the lamp.

Press the Menu button to remove the on-screen menu from the TV screen.

• One hundred hours before the lamp reaches the end of its life, a warning message will appear on screen to alert you. Changing the lamp at this point is recommended for optimal performance.

• A blinking orange light on the front of the set means that the lamp is not working anymore and needs to be replaced.

Also, please take a moment to identify the problem you are having, and be prepared to explain this to the representative.

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. 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 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.

• 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)

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 is worn out, dead, or has expired and 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)

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

Troubleshooting

TV-related Checks (continued from page 73)

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.

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

PHILIPS TELEVISION

This product can be repaired in-home.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may have other rights which vary from state/province to state/province.

Philips Consumer Electronics, P.O. Box 520890, Miami, FL 33152, (402) 536-4171

WHO IS COVERED?

You must have proof of purchase to receive warranty service. A sales receipt or other document showing that you purchased the product is considered proof of purchase.

WHAT IS COVERED?

Warranty coverage begins the day you buy your product. For one year thereafter (30 days for the TV screen), all parts will be repaired or replaced, and labor and transportation are free. After one year from the day of purchase, you pay for the replacement or repair of all parts and for all labor and transportation charges.

All parts, including repaired and replaced parts, are covered only for the original warranty period. When the warranty on the product expires, the warranty on all replaced and repaired parts also expires.

WHAT IS EXCLUDED?

Your warranty does not cover:

• labor charges for installation or setup of the product, adjustment of customer controls on the product, and installation or repair of antenna systems outside of the product.

• product repair and/or part replacement because of misuse, accident, unauthorized repair or other cause not within the control of Philips Consumer Electronics Company.

• reception problems caused by signal conditions or cable or antenna systems outside the unit.

• a product that requires modification or adaptation to enable it to operate in any country other than the country for which it was designed, manufactured, approved and/or authorized, or repair of products damaged by these modifications.

• incidental or consequential damages resulting from the product. (Some states do not allow the exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusion may not apply to you. This includes, but is not limited to, prerecorded material, whether copyrighted or not copyrighted.)

• a product used for commercial or institutional purposes.

WHERE IS SERVICE AVAILABLE?

Warranty service is available in all countries where the product is officially distributed by Philips Consumer Electronics Company. In countries where Philips Consumer Electronics Company does not distribute the product, the local Philips service organization will attempt to provide service (although there may be a delay if the appropriate spare parts and technical manual(s) are not readily available).

MAKE SURE YOU KEEP...

Please keep your sales receipt or other document showing proof of purchase. Attach it to this owner’s manual and keep both nearby. Also keep the original box and packing material in case you need to return your product.

BEFORE REQUESTING SERVICE...

Please check your owner’s manual before requesting service. Adjustments of the controls discussed there may save you a service call.

TO GET WARRANTY SERVICE...

Repair must be performed by an authorized service center or a factory service center. If you do not live near a factory service center, contact your dealer. If your dealer is an authorized service center, he will arrange repair. If your dealer is not an authorized service center, he will direct you to the authorized service center engaged by him to service the products he sells.

(In U.S.A., Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands, all implied warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, are limited in duration to the duration of this express warranty. But, because some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty may last, this limitation may not apply to you.)

(In Canada, this warranty is given in lieu of all other warranties. No other warranties are expressed or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Philips is not liable under any circumstances for any direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, howsoever incurred, even if notified of the possibility of such damages.)
