Product highlights

Pixel Plus™

Through the unique improvement of luminance and color transients, the interpolated pixels are processed, the luminance amplitude is altered, and preand aftershoots for colors are created, resulting in an overall sharper, crisper picture and much more vivid colors. Additional color enhancements give an even greater saturation and lifelike realism.The digital enhancement of the difference between dark and light parts of the image also raises the contrast of the overall picture by up to 30%, making it even more brilliant. Finally, the Digital Noise Reduction and Digital Natural Motion correction result in perfectly smooth, jitter-free, noise-free and razor-sharp moving images.

Digital Natural Motion™

Enables smooth and jitter-free movements from any source. The advanced Philips chip used for DNM has the processing power of several Pentium processors. It has the ability to detect fast-moving sequences from film and video material and it can handle multi-directional movements at the same time.

BlueBlush Buttons

The product has an innovative technology that allows it to sense the user's needs and meet them. Sensing the user is near, the product activates the lighting of the control panel to make it visible. When the controls are no longer being used and after a short pause, they will dim.

Full 1080i HD Connectivity

The video inputs use the highest quality connection type and within the TV combine the latest high output video processing technology to accept and display various 1080i HD formats.

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.

	The major benefit of this projection
1 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 exter-
	nal speakers, may cause the picture to
	distort if the speakers are placed too
	close to the television. Move the mag-
	netic 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.

Insert the mains plug in the wall sock- 3 et. 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.

Remove the cover of the battery com- 4 partment 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.

•Movie Plus provides motion compensation to increase clarity around moving images in the picture.

•Pixel Plus creates near High Definition performance inside the TV on the basis of a regular input signal.

The number of lines are increased and the number of pixels on a line are doubled in combination with Digital Natural Motion. As such Pixel Plus enhances both regular broadcast signals and DVD or Digital TV input towards unparalleled sharpness and depth, near High Definition and natural detail.

•Double Lines provides for a doubling of vertical and horizontal resolution which adds astonishing sharpness and a total absence of visible picture lines.

Motion compensation reduces jitter and offers smooth, yet sharp motion reproduction.

Digital Options with NTSC signals

•Progressive Scan line doubling eliminates line flicker.

•Pixel Plus
