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 75socket 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.
5
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.

Colour Temperature
Offers the options Normal, Warm, and Cool. Make your selection with the cursor left/right. Normal keeps whites white. Warm makes whites reddish. Cool makes whites bluish.
Digital Options
Digital Scan includes 100Hz plus Digital Scan, which together eliminate picture flickering and line jitter, offering a stable picture for relaxed viewing (no eye strain). 100Hz offers field flicker reduction. Progressive 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. Auto detects the input signal and provides the appropriate mode for the best picture performance. Choose Digital Scan for PAL 50Hz signals and Progressive Scan for NTSC 60Hz signals.
Dynamic Contrast
Automatically makes the contrast in the darker and the brighter picture areas more noticeable as the image on screen changes. Normally, select MED. In certain circumstances it may be preferable to select MIN, MAX, or OFF.
IntelliSense
When activated, automatically adjusts picture convergence in 20 seconds or less.
