BDS Mirror TV Application Note Release v0.5

1. Introduction

The Philips Mirror TV combines an interactive flat LCD TV together with the reflectivity of a mirror to provide an innovative 2-in-1 product for the customer.

This document covers the 32”-42” Landscape and portrait Mirror TV (model number 32PM8822 / 42PM8822)

The Mirror TV product utilizes the existing LCD TV technology of the Philips 32”-42” LCD models, and therefore it provides many of the same features. For familiarity purposes, the existing Directions For Use (DFU) documentation for the 32”- 42” LCD models can also be used for the Mirror TV. Some differences may apply, and these differences will be covered in this document.

The user is advised to read this document first in order to understand what are the differences between a Mirror TV and the 32”- 42” LCD TV on which the Mirror TV is based. The user should read through the DFU of the 32”- 42” LCD TV (provided with this product) for greater details of the TV specifics and functions.

Once the differences are understood, the rest of the information on connectivity, safety, remote-control usage, and so forth are the same as that in the DFU of the 32”- 42” LCD TV.

This document describes various elements specific to the Mirror TV application, including:

 How to replace the decorative frame of the 32”- 42” Mirror TV  Technical specifications of main components  Connectivity overview

Instructions on how to wall-mount the 32”- 42” Mirror TV are provided in the Mirror TV Addendum Sheet that is packed into each 32”- 42” Mirror TV box. Refer to that document for the mounting details.

It is important to note that the application of the mirror is intended for decorative in-door usage only and not designed for usage in wet and damp environments like bathrooms.

The information in this document is subject to change. Accessories are subject to availability.

Due to the dual functionality of the Mirror TV (mirror & display) the Light Sensor function is put OFF with factory setup. It is important not to switch ON.

2. Safety Precautions And Cleaning Procedures

The safety precautions and cleaning procedures for the Mirror TV are similar to that of the 32”- 42” LCD TV, and can be referenced to the respective sections in the DFU of that product. Please refer to the DFU (included with your product) for more information.

However, to ensure that the Mirror TV continues to provide excellent and durable performance, the following safety precautions are strongly advised:

1. Do not shift or move the Mirror TV when it is powered on.

2. Do not touch, push, or rub the surface of the mirror glass with any sharp or hard objects.

3. For proper ventilation, provide at least 5 cm from the top and bottom of the Mirror TV back panel to allow for a free flow of air.

4. If the Mirror TV unit is mounted into an enclosed space (for example, in-wall mounting), it is strongly recommended to provide ventilation slots at the top and bottom to allow for greater airflow and better ventilation. Without any ventilation slots, the ambient temperature should not exceed 25 degrees Celsius. It is recommended to create ventilation slots of 70cm x 2cm at both the top and bottom of the wall, which would allow ambient temperatures up to 35 degrees Celsius.

5. Do not place the Mirror TV near a radiator or other sources of heat, or near areas where it can be exposed to rain. The Mirror TV complies with the general safety standards of consumer products.

6. It is also advisable not to place the Mirror TV under bright lighting or direct sunlight, as this could adversely affect the brightness of the LCD display and the overall quality of the picture.

To ensure that the Mirror TV continues to provide excellent picture and mirror quality, the following cleaning procedures are suggested:

1. To avoid possible shock hazard, it is advised to power off and unplug the Mirror TV before cleaning.

2. To clean the surface from dust, wipe it gently with an absorbent cotton cloth or other soft material (like chamois). Avoid abrasive materials or wearing jeweled adornments such as bracelets or rings, which may scratch the mirror glass surface. Use even, easy vertical strokes when cleaning.

3. Do NOT use acetone, toluene, alcohol, or other liquid or aerosol cleaners to clean the surface of the glass.

4. Wipe off any form of water from the screen as soon as possible. Be careful of condensation when temperature changes occur, as condensation can cause damage to the electrical parts and LCD screen.

5. If possible, occasionally vacuum the ventilation holes or slots in the back cover of the Mirror TV.

3. Guidelines on Installing the Mirror TV

Before installing the Mirror TV, the following considerations should be taken into account to ensure that the best viewing experience is achieved.

Avoidance of Reflections

Aside from selecting an aesthetically pleasing location for the set, avoidance of reflections from bright light sources (such as windows or light fittings) in the mirror in the viewing direction is very important when the TV is being viewed. In this regard, the location of both the viewer and the viewing direction are important when deciding where to place a MiraVision set in a room.

Reflection of bright background light sources should also be avoided when the MiraVision set is used as a mirror. For mirror purposes, it is recommended to place light sources (such as tabletop lamps) to the side of the MiraVision set, thereby lighting the subject that is being reflected by the mirror.

Audio Requirements

MiraVision sets have mounted on loudspeakers located at the rear of the set.

Depending on the location of the MiraVision set in a room, it may prove worthwhile to consider the use of external loudspeakers. These can be connected to the MiraVision set via the speaker terminals at the rear. External speakers can be used when mounting circumstances restrict the sound output of the onboard speakers (example, when mounting the MiraVision inwall).

Refer to the section External Speaker Connectors in this document for more information on the use of the external loudspeakers.

4. Placement the Decorative Frame

The Mirror TV is designed to be flexible and allow customers to change the decorative frame according to their tastes. Before replacing the standard decorative frame with a custom frame, please take note of the following:

BDS Mirror TV Application Note Release v0.5

Important points to observe when changing decorative frames

1. It is strongly recommended that this operation be conducted in a dust-free environment. This will help to ensure the continued quality of the Mirror TV display after the new custom frame has been attached.

2. The design of the new decorative frame must conform to certain dimension guidelines to ensure that it will attach securely to the steel mounting frame of the Mirror TV. For the dimensions, refer to the sections Custom Decorative Frame Profile and mounting Frame Dimensions for Mirror TV later in this document.

3. Any new custom decorative frame should conform to the following guidelines:

a. The new custom decorative frame should provide a hole to be able to place the

plastic Infrared receiver (located at the lower right portion of the Mirror TV original décor frame) as this could interfere with the performance of the Mirror TV Remote Control.

4. The same decorative frames can be be re-used multiple times, as the clicking device on the mounting frame is suitable for multiple usage. Any changes to the Mirror TV, including the replacement of the decorative frames, is performed at the customer’s own risk. Therefore it is strongly recommended that the services of a professional installer be used to make these changes.

Directions on changing the Mirror TV decorative frames

To replace the existing decorative frame with a new frame, follow these directions:

1. At the beginning the Mirror TV will hang on the wall
