1 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this television set. This manual contains all information you will need to initially install and operate your new TV.

If this instruction manual does not give an answer to your problem or if Troubleshooting page does not solve your TV problem, you can call your Local Philips Customer or Service Centre. See the supplied Worldwide guarantee booklet for details. Please have the Model and Product number (which you can find at the back or the bottom of your television set or on the packaging) ready, before calling the Philips customer support service.

1.1 Important information

1.1.1 Stationary images on the TV screen

A characteristic of LCD and Plasma Panels is that displaying the same image for a long time can cause a permanent after-image to remain on the screen. This is called phosphor burn in. Normal use of the TV should involve the showing of pictures that contain constantly moving and changing images that fill the screen.

Examples of stationary images (this is not an all inclusive list, you may encounter others in your viewing).

• TV and DVD menus: listings of DVD disk content.

• Black bars: when black bars appear at the left and right side of the screen, it is recommended to change to a picture format so that the picture fills the entire screen;

• TV channel logo: present a problem if they are bright and stationary. Moving or low-contrast graphics are less likely to cause uneven aging of the screen;

• Stock market stickers: 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.

• Examples of still pictures also include logos, computer images, time display, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode, static images or characters, etc.

Tip: Reduce contrast and brightness when viewing.

1.1.2 Electric, Magnetic and

Electromagnetic Fields (“EMF”)

• Philips Royal manufactures and sells many products targeted at consumers, which, like any electronic apparatus, in general have the ability to emit and receive electro magnetic signals.

• One of Philips’ leading Business Principles is to take all necessary health and safety measures for our products, to comply with all applicable legal requirements and to stay well within the EMF standards applicable at the time of producing the products.

• Philips is committed to develop, produce and market products that cause no adverse health effects.

• Philips confirms that if its products are handled properly for their intended use, they are safe to use according to scientific evidence available today.

• Philips plays an active role in the development of international EMF and safety standards, enabling Philips to anticipate further developments in standardisation for early integration in its products.

1.2 What is digital TV?

Note

Digital Television offers a far wider choice of TV viewing, free from the interference that you may experience on analogue TV. It promises to transform television viewing into a whole new experience. There is a greater selection of widescreen programming. Many of your favourite programmes are in widescreen on the digital channels - something the analogue TV cannot do properly.

There is new whole experience of interactivity on digital TV. By using your remote control, you can access all kinds of information like the digital text which is much clearer than the old teletext system. It gives you the added enjoyment of related information running alongside the programme you are watching. You can also access an Electronic Programme Guide that provides you with a quick and easy way to view a complete list of digital programmes as you would in a newspaper or TV magazine.

• Chapters 6 to 20 contain all the information you need to operate your TV in the Digital mode. Chapters 21 to 30 contain all the information and instructions you need to operate your TV in the Analogue mode.

1.3 Digital or Analogue channels?

When the television is powered on for the first time, it will always be in Digital mode.

Use the switch the TV between analogue and digital mode. Use the P + / – or to keys to select channels.

19 Digital teletext (MHEG)

Available in U.K. only

Digital teletext services differ greatly from analogue teletext. When you switch to a Digital teletext service, the images you see contain graphics and text which are laid out and controlled in a manner decided by the broadcaster. Some digital channels, which you select like any other channel, offer dedicated teletext services. Some digital channels also offer information on the programme being broadcast (a message or an instruction may appear on the screen).

Under certain circumstances, Digital text or interactive services may have priority over subtitles. This can result in the subtitles not automatically reapperaing when leaving Digital text or interactive services on a channel which is broadcasting subtitles. In these cases, subtiltes can be intialised either by toggling

the key on the remote control or by changing channel.

1

To use the digital teletext, follow the

instructions on screen.

2

Depending on the service, you can

be asked to use the Í Æ Î ï (cursor keys), (Teletext On/Off key) and sometimes the / numerical keys.

Note

If no colour key links are available in the Digital Teletext to allow you to exit teletext mode, use the instead.

(colour keys),

key

3

When you have finished watching

teletext, select a different channel with P – / + keys or follow the on screen instructions to return to picture.

When you switch to a digital channel with links to a telext service, software is downloaded in the background to enable the teletext function. You will have to wait for a while before you press the key to allow the software download to complete. If you press the key before the download is complete, there will be a short delay before the teletext screen is displayed.

While navigating the digital teletext, there is a short delay while the page downloads. A prompt or message is often broadcast on the page to let you know the progress.

35 Glossary

DVI (Digital Visual Interface) : A digital interface standard created by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) to convert analog signals into digital signals to accommodate both analog and digital monitors.

RGB signals : These are the three video signals, Red Green Blue, which make up the picture. Using these signals improves picture quality.

S-VHS signals : These are 2 separate Y/C video signals from the S-VHS and Hi-8 recording standards. The luminance signals Y (black and white) and chrominance signals C (colour) are recorded separately on the tape. This provides better picture quality than with standard video (VHS and 8 mm) where the Y/C signals are combined to provide only one video signal.

16:9 : Refers to the ratio between the length and height of the screen. Wide screen televisions have a ratio of 16/9, conventional screen TV sets have a ratio of 4/3.

MHEG (Multimedia and Hypermedia information coding Expert Group) : provides standards for the coded representation of multimedia and hypermedia information objects that are interchanged among applications and services using a variety of media. The objects deﬁ ne the structure of a multimedia hypermedia presentation.

HDMI (High-Deﬁ nition Multimedia Interface) :

Provides an uncompressed, all digital audio/video interface between the TV and any HDMI-equipped audio/video component, such as set-top box, DVD player and A/V receiver. HDMI supports enhanced or high-deﬁ nition video plus two-channel digital audio.

System : Television pictures are not broadcast in the same way in all countries. There are different standards: BG, DK, I, and LL’. The System setting (page 24) is used to select these different standards. This is not to be confused with PAL or SECAM colour coding. PAL is used in most countries in Europe, SECAM in France, Russia and most African countries. The United States and Japan use a different system called NTSC.

MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) is the nickname given to a family of International Standards used for coding audio-visual information in a digital compressed format.

53

Information for users in the UK (not applicable outside the UK)

Positioning the TV

For the best results, choose a position where light does not fall directly on the screen, and at some distance away from radiators or other sources of heat. Leave a space of at least 5 cm all around the TV for ventilation, making sure that curtains, cupboards etc. cannot obstruct the air ﬂow through the ventilation apertures. The TV is intended for use in a domestic environment only and should never be operated or stored in excessively hot or humid atmospheres.

General Points

Please take note of the section entitled ‘Tips’ at the end of this booklet.

Important

This apparatus is ﬁtted with an approved moulded 13 AMP plug. Should it become necessary to replace the mains fuse, this must be replaced with a fuse of the same value as indicated on the plug.

1

Remove fuse cover and fuse.

2

The replacement fuse must comply with

BS 1362 and have the ASTA approval mark. If the fuse is lost, make contact with your retailer in order to verify the correct type.

3

Reﬁt the fuse cover.

If for any reason the ﬁtted plug is not suitable for your socket outlet, please consult your retailer or a qualiﬁed electrician before proceeding with the installation.

Interference

The Department of Trade and Industry operates a Radio Interference Investigation Service to help TV licence holders improve reception of BBC and IBA programmes where they are being spoilt by interference. If your dealer cannot help,ask at a main Post Ofﬁce for the booklet “How to Improve Television and Radio Reception”.

Mains connection

Before connecting the TV to the mains, check that the mains supply voltage corresponds to the voltage printed on the type plate on the rear panel of the TV. If the mains voltage is different, consult your dealer.

Connecting the aerial

The aerial should be connected to the socket marked : at the back of the set.An inferior aerial is likely to result in a poor, perhaps unstable picture with ghost images and lack of contrast. Make-shift loft or settop aerials are often inadequate. Your dealer will know from experience the most suitable type for your locality. Should you wish to use the set in conjunction with other equipment, which connects to the aerial socket such as TV games, or a video camera it is recommended that these be connected via a combiner unit to avoid repeated connection and disconnection of the aerial plug.

Fitting the stand (if provided)

Use only the stand provided with the set, making sure that the ﬁxings are properly tightened. A diagram showing how to assemble the stand is packed with the stand. Never use a make-shift stand, or legs ﬁxed with woodscrews.
