Product highlights

100Hz Digital Scan

Conventional TV creates a picture by scanning 50 times per second (50Hz). This frequency can be detected by the human eye in the form of a field flicker­ing picture. 100Hz sets scan 100 times per second, eliminating the field flickering.

Progressive Scan

A picture frame consists of two fields: the field with the odd lines (field A) and the field with the even lines (field B). Instead of sending field A to the screen
first, followed by field B, the fields A and B are written at one time. In one second, a full image is created using the maximum resolution. At this speed, the
human eye perceives a sharper picture with no line structure.

HDTV Monitor

HDTV Display Capability (1080i). HDTV monitors enable you to view high-definition or enhanced-definition TV programming in the 1080i or 480p signal for­mat. In order to do so, the TV must be connected via its component video or RGB inputs to a set-top box, which is set to operate in the DTV mode. A DTV
signal must be present in your area and the set-top box must be tuned to the proper channel. An external over-the-air antenna may be required. Another
option is HDTV broadcast satellite service. Stunning realism in both picture and sound are delivered!

Acclearium™ Digital Optics

Philips micro phosphor CRTs feature improved optics for sharper, more detailed images and enhanced green phosphor, which creates deeper, more natural
colors. Hybrid projection lenses work in concert with each CRT to improve focus and correct optical errors, removing distortion and creating a crisp picture to
the edge of the screen. The lenticular screen has nearly one-third finer pitch (.515mm) than traditional screens improving picture detail and resolution. The
Philips Wideband Video Amplifier reproduces the highest visible bandwidth in its class—resulting in
significantly more picture detail in pure HD.

Saphlon™ Screen

Saphlon™ Screen technology is built with materials and processes that deliver more brightness and picture contrast. It guards against most scratches and fin­gerprints and eliminates the glare associated with a separate protective screen.

Auto IntelliSense™ Focus

Sensors in the TV scan a predefined test pattern and readjust the signal on the CRTs to assure that red, green and blue are well aligned.

Active Control

With over 3,000 picture adjustments per minute, this 'proactive control system' continuously analyzes incoming video signal qualities for Dynamic Noise
Reduction and sharpness and then automatically corrects them to be like the settings you previously selected in the picture menu.

APAC

APAC is designed to minimize the effects of image retention from stationary images on the screen. Because both analog sources (cable TV and DVD) and
digital sources (HD and progressive scan DVD) have different aspect ratios (4:3, 16:9, 21:9, etc.), the picture on a digital television may have black bars on
the sides or top and bottom. When black bars are detected in either the 4:3 or 16:9 viewing mode, APAC automatically shifts the television picture pixel-by­pixel, just enough to soften image retention. APAC works in both the analog and digital modes, so it provides excellent protection.

1

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.

Switch the TV on : Press the mains
power switch on the front of the TV. If
Standby key is lighted, press the CH
+/– keys, digit keys, or the Standby
key on the remote control. Or press the
CHANNEL or Standby keys on the
front of the TV.

Using Auto IntelliSense

®

Your projection TV has three color projection tubes : one for red, one for
green, and one for blue. When mixed in proper proportion, the beams of
light coming from the tubes can produce any color. To create a clear pic­ture, however, these color beams must be precisely aligned. This align­ment is called convergence. Bumps and vibrations, moving the set, or the
presence of magnetic fields can cause the color beams to become improp­erly aligned, or misconverged, resulting in a fuzzy picture. Using the
Auto IntelliSense®feature, you can automatically adjust convergence in
20 seconds or less.

Note : Allow the TV to warm up for 20 minutes before using Auto
IntelliSense®.

Activating Auto IntelliSense

SING TELETEXT(IF PROVIDED)

Many TV channels broadcast information via teletext. Each channel
that broadcasts teletext transmits a page with information on how to
use its teletext system. Look for the teletext page with the main index
(usually p. 100).

Depending on the TV channel, teletext is transmitted in different sys­tems. The colours used in the options line correspond with the colour
keys of your remote control.

About Teletext

Easy Text considerably reduces the waiting time (on condition that
the teletext broadcast of the particular TV channel is received for at
least half a minute) by :

• a direct selection of previous and following pages that are in trans­mission and of the pages referred to in the options line at the bot­tom of the teletext screen;

• a habit watcher list : frequently used pages are put automatically
in a list of preferred pages so that they are immediately available;

• the precapturing of the page numbers referred to in the displayed
page; and

• the precapturing of all the subpages.

Switching Teletext on and off

1

Press the bbkey to switch the teletext on.

The main index page appears on the screen together with
two information lines at the top and one option line at the
bottom of the screen.

2

Press the bbkey again to overlay the teletext page on the
TV programme.

3

Press the bbkey once again to switch the teletext off.

Selecting a Teletext Page

With the digit keys

Enter the desired page number with the digit keys.

The page counter seeks the page or the page appears immedi­ately when the page number has been stored in the memory.

A message appears when you have entered a nonexistent or
incorrect page number. Page numbers beginning with 0 or 9
do not exist. Choose another number.

With the option line

Use the colour keys—which correspond to the coloured
options at the bottom of the screen—to select the desired
subject.

If the option line is not on the screen, press the selected
colour key TWICE.

Continue to the next page.

The other subpages can be selected in two ways :

With the cursor left/right

The other subpage numbers appear in white as soon as the
transmission has found them. They are stored in the memory
so that they are available while the teletext page is on
screen.

Use the cursor left/right to select the previous or the follow­ing subpage.

With the yyKey

• Enter the subpage number yourself :

Press y. Enter the desired subpage with the digit keys : for
example, 3 for the third page of seven subpages.

reproduces sound. Use a mono-to-stereo adaptor (not supplied)
for sound reproduction via the internal loudspeakers.

The MONITOR OUT connectors can be used for daisy chain­ing or recording programmes from your TV. See page 32.

S-VHS-Video quality with an S-VHS video recorder is obtained
by connecting the S-VHS-Video cable with the S-VIDEO input
instead of connecting the video recorder to the VIDEO input.
See the handbook for the video recorder.

If You Do Not Make the Video and Audio

Connections in Step 3 Above :

Search for and store the test signal of the video recorder.

1

Unplug the RF cable from the RF socket of your video recorder.

2

Switch on your TV and put the video recorder on the test signal or
play a prerecorded tape. See the handbook for your video
recorder.

3

Search for the test signal of your video recorder in the same way
you searched for and stored the TV signals. See pages 9 and 10.

4

Store the test signal under programme number 0 or between 90
and 99.

AV4 and AV5 Digital High-definition Inputs

When you have digital equipment with 1080i or 480p signal output
(60Hz) or 576p signal output (50Hz), connect it to the AV 4 or AV 5
inputs on your TV. Examples of such equipment are digital set-top boxes
and progressive-scan DVD players.

Connecting to AV4

Connect digital equipment with component video output (usually labeled
Y-Pb-Pr) or with RGB output (phono-type connectors) to the AV 4
inputs for video and audio left and right. Also connect to the H and V

SYNC inputs on the TV if required for your digital equipment.

Note : The AV 4 sockets are compatible with some digital equipment hav-

ing RGB outputs with “sync on green” or RGB with “separate H and V
sync.” Output standards for digital equipment, however, may vary by
manufacturer. No industry standards have been established for HD televi­sion RGB signal systems, timing, synchronization, and signal strengths. If
the digital equipment you want to connect to your TV offers both compo­nent video and RGB outputs, component video is the suggested connec­tion to use. See the handbook for the digital equipment.

Connecting to AV5

Connect digital equipment with RGB or Y-Pb-Pr output to the AV 5
inputs for video and audio left and right. A DB15 cable or adaptor cable
with a DB15 connector is required.

Note : The AV 5 input cannot be used to connect a computer or any other
VGA device.

Notes regarding connecting to either AV4 or AV5 :

• For connections to either AV 4 or AV5, be sure the TV’s color-space
setting matches the output (Y-Pb-Pr or RGB) of the digital equipment
you have connected to the AV 4 or AV5 inputs. See instructions for
setting the TV’s color space on page 36.

• See the handbook for the high-definition equipment.

• If you notice scrolling images, wrong colors or no color, no picture or
even combinations of these on your screen, check to see if the connec­tions have been done properly.

WARNING Concerning Stationary Images on the TV Screen :

Do not leave stationary or “letterbox” images on screen for extended periods of time.This can cause
uneven picture-tube aging.

Normal use of the TV should involve the showing of pictures that contain constantly moving and changing images that fill the
screen. Be careful not to leave nonmoving images on screen for extended periods of time or to display the same images on screen
too frequently, because subtle ghost images can be left on the picture tubes. Avoid showing the same stationary images more than
15 percent of your total viewing in any one week. Sources of stationary images may be DVD discs, laser discs, video games, CD-i
discs, videotapes, digital television boxes, broadcast channels, cable channels, satellite channels, and others. Here are some exam-

ples of stationary images (this is not an all-inclusive list; you may encounter others in your viewing) :

• DVD menus—listings of DVD disc content

•“Letterbox” black borders—black bars shown along the edges of the picture when a widescreen (16:9) movie is played on TV

• Video-game images and scoreboards

• Television station logos—present a problem if they are bright and stationary; moving or low-contrast graphics are less likely to

cause uneven aging of the picture tube

• Stock-market tickers—presented at the bottom of the TV screen

• Shopping channel logos and pricing displays—bright and shown constantly or repeatedly in the same location on the TV

screen.

All picture tubes age with use, with their light output diminishing over time. But by maintaining normal use—mixing television
picture types—you will create conditions for the tubes to age at an even rate. The result will be a TV picture that is evenly bright
over the entire screen.

P

LACEMENT OF THE TV

• See page 4.

C

LEANING

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

• Regularly dust the TV with a dry, nonscratching duster to keep the TV clean.

• When cleaning the TV, take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface. Avoid wearing jewelry or using anything abrasive.
Do not use household cleaners. Wipe the front screen with a clean cloth dampened with water. Use even, easy, vertical strokes
when cleaning.

• Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or sponge dampened in a solution of cool, clear water and a mild soap or
detergent. Use a clean, dry cloth to dry the wiped surfaces.

• Occasionally vacuum the ventilation holes or slots in the back cover of the set.

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

T

IPS

• Do not shift or move the set around when it is switched on. Unevenness in colour in some parts of the screen may occur.

E

ND-OF-LIFE DISPOSAL OF THE TV

Philips is paying much attention to making its products environmentally friendly. Your new TV contains materials that can be recy­cled and reused. Specialised companies can dismantle your discarded TV at the end of its life, concentrating on the reusable materi­als and minimising the amount of materials to be disposed. Please be sure to dispose of your old TV according to local regulations.

• Adjust the contrast and brightness settings or select another picture setting with the Smart Picture
key on the remote control.

• If using peripheral equipment through the A/V inputs, be sure it is properly connected.

• Be sure you have selected the correct signal source for viewing.

• If you are attempting to view a picture from a progressive-scan-capable DVD player connected to
the AV4 or AV5 sockets, be sure you have switched the DVD player to progressive-scan mode.

• If you are using an HD receiver, be sure its output is set correctly (to HD or SD), based on the
connection to the TV you have made.

Snowish picture and noise

• Check the antenna connection.

Colour patch (unevenness)

• Switch off the TV by the mains power key. Wait for 20 minutes before switching on again.

• Be sure you have made connections correctly.

• If you have connected digital equipment to the AV4 or AV5 sockets, check the colour-space setting
on the equipment or TV and change the setting on either if necessary.

• Check to be sure the TV is not placed too near speakers or magnetic objects.

• Adjust the TV’s convergence.

Horizontal dotted lines

• This may be caused by electrical interference from appliances such as hair dryers or vacuum
cleaners or other sources such as neon lights. Turn off the appliance or move the TV.

One white line across the screen

• Switch the TV off immediately and consult a qualified service person.

Good picture but no sound

• Increase the volume.

• Check that the TV is not muted; press the H key on the remote control.

• When no signal is detected, the TV automatically switches off the sound. This is proper operation
and does not indicate a malfunction.

• Check the transmission system’s sound settings on the set.

Good sound but poor colour or
no picture

• Adjust the contrast and brightness setting or select another picture setting with the Smart Picture
key on the remote control.

• Check the transmission system’s colour settings on this set.

Poor picture

• Poor picture quality sometimes occurs when an S-VHS camera or camcorder has been connected
to the side panel (AV3) of the TV when another peripheral is connected to AV1 or AV2 simultane­ously. In this case, switch off one of the other peripherals.

Double images or “ghost” images

• High-rise building or hills may be obstructing reception. Try using a highly directional antenna to
improve the picture.

NICAM sound distortion
(crackling noise)

• This could be due to antenna siting or reflected signal.

• Switch over to “MONO” by pressing the I-II key on the remote control.

If your problem is not solved, switch the TV off and then back on again once. Never attempt to repair a defective TV yourself. Check with
your dealer or call a TV technician.
