SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - Read before operating equipment
This product was designed and manufactured to meet strict quality and safety standards. There are, however , some installation and operation pre­cautions which you should be particularly aware of.
1. Read Instructions - All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the appliance is operated.
2. Retain Instructions - The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings - All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions should be followed.
5. Water and Moisture - The appliance should not be used near water
- for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool, etc.
6. Carts and Stands - The appliance should be used only with a cart or stand that is recommended by the manufacturer.
6A. An appliance and cart combination should be moved
with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven sur­faces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
6B. Tilt/Stability - All televisions must comply with recommended inter-
national global safety standards for tilt and stability properties of its cabinet design.
• Do not compromise these design standards by applying exces-
sive pull force to the front, or top, of the cabinet which could ultimately overturn the product.
• Also, do not endanger yourself, or children, by placing elec-
tronic equipment/toys on the top of the cabinet. Such items could unsuspectingly fall from the top of the set and cause product damage and/or personal injury.
7. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
8. Ventilation - The appliance should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a built­in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.
9. Heat - The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (includ­ing amplifiers) that produce heat.
10. Power Sources - The appliance should be connected to a power sup­ply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.
11. Power-Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords and plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
12. Cleaning - The appliance should be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer.
13. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines.
14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to pro­vide some protection against voltage surges and built up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mats and supporting structure grounding of the lead-in wire to an anten­na discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, location of antenna­discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and require­ments for the grounding electrode. See Fig. below.
15. Non-use Periods - The power cord of the appliance should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time.
16. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.
17. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be ser viced by qualified service personnel when:
A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance;
or
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a
marked change in performance; or
E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.
18. Servicing - The user should not attempt to service the appliance
beyond that described in the operating instructions. All other servic­ing should be referred to qualified service personnel.
Note to the CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that pro­vides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Audio/Video Jack Panel allows direct connections with VCRs, DVDs, or other devices, providing quality TV picture and sound playback.
Audio Volume Leveler (AVL) Control keeps the TV sound at an even level. Peaks and valleys that occur during program changes or commercial breaks are reduced, making for a more consistent, comfortable sound.
AutoChronª automatically sets the right time of day and maintains it with digital precision through brownouts, power failures, and even Daylight Savings Time adjustments.
AutoLockª allows you to block the viewing of certain channels or pro­grams with certain ratings if you do not want your children to view inap­propriate materials.
Auto Programming scans (when activated) for all available channels from regular antenna or cable signals and stores only active broadcast sta­tions in the TVÕs memory.
AutoPictureª allows you to change the picture settings (color, tint, con­trast, etc.) for various types of programming, such as sports, movies, multi­media (games), or weak signals with the push of one button.
AutoSoundª allows you to select from three factory-set controls and a personal control that you set according to your own preferences through the onscreen Sound menu. The three factory-set controls (Voice, Music, and Theatre) enable you to tailor the TV sound so as to enhance the partic­ular programming you are watching.
Channel Edit allows you to add or delete channels from the list stored in the TVÕs memory. Channel Edit makes it easy to limit or expand the num­ber of channels that are available to you when you press the Channel (+) or (Ð) buttons on your remote control.
Closed Captioning allows the viewer to read TV program dialogue or voice conversations as onscreen text.
ImageMaxª helps you sharpen the picture quality by making dark por­tions of the picture darker and light portions brighter.
Infrared Remote Control works your TV and other remote-controlled devices, such as VCRs, DVD players, cable converters, and satellite receivers.
Infrared Remote (IR) Blaster works with the M-Link feature to enable your TV to ÒlearnÓ the remote-control commands of new Philips devices or multibrand devices that you have connected to your TV. After the com­mands are learned, you can use your TV remote control to operate and control all of the devices.
M-Linkª allows you to convert your TV into a home-cinema control center composed of up to six devices (including an audio amplifier). You activate the devices by pressing macro buttons and control the devices by pressing ÒhotÓ buttons on your remote control. Choose from cable box, digital set top box, DVD (digital video disc), laser disc (LD), satellite digi­tal TV, VCD (video compact disc), and VCR (video cassette recorder) devices.
Onscreen Menu shows helpful messages and instructions for setting TV feature controls (can be viewed in English, French, or Spanish).
Sleep Timer automatically turns the TV OFF after a set amount of time that you choose.
Standard Broadcast (VHF/UHF) or Cable TV (CATV) channel capabil­ity allows for viewing by antenna or cable.
Stereo capability, including a built-in audio amplifier and twin-speaker system, allows for the reception of TV programs broadcast in stereo sound.
Surf Button allows you to easily switch among only the channels that are of interest to you (the ones that you have programmed into the TVÕs Surf control through the onscreen menu).
Timer allows you to set your TV to turn itself ON and OFF once or daily like an alarm clock.

UNDERSTANDING AUTOLOCK™
T
he AutoLock™ feature receives
and processes data sent by broadcasters or other program providers that contain program con­tent advisories. When programmed by the viewer, a TV with AutoLock™ can respond to the content advisories and block program content that may be found objectionable (such as offensive language, violence, sexual situations, etc.). This is a great fea­ture to censor the type of program­ming children may watch.
In the AutoLock™ section, you’ll learn how to block channels and pro­gramming that is not rated, is unrat­ed, or has no rating. You will also find out how to turn these blocking features ON or OFF. Following are brief explanations of some terms and ratings related to the AutoLock™ feature.
AutoLock™ offers various Blocking Options from which to choose:
BLOCKING: The BLOCKING con­trol is what can be thought of as the Òmaster switchÓ for AutoLockª. This control affects the settings you have chosen for blocking programs according to movie ratings or TV ratings, or for blocking programs that have no rating or are unrated. When the BLOCKING control is OFF, the blocking or censoring of programs is disabled. When the BLOCKING control is ON, blocking will occur according to the settings you have chosen.
BLOCK UNRATED: ALL unrated programs will be blocked if this fea­ture is set to ON.
UNRATED programming is encoded with information from the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) or TV broadcasters, but it does not have a specific rating. In other words, the MPAA or the TV broadcasters have chosen not to assign a rating to the programming.
NO RATING: ALL programming with no content advisory data can be blocked if NO RATING is set to ON.
Programming that has No Rating is not encoded with any rating infor­mation from the MPAA or the Parental Guidelines. Any program­ming could fall into this category.
You also can block individual channels or block programming
based on ratings of the MPAA and TV broadcasters. (See a description of the ratings on this page.)
G: General Audience - All ages admitted. Most parents would find this program­ming suitable for all ages. This type of programming contains little or no vio­lence, no strong language, and little or no sexual dialogue or sexual situations.
PG: Parental Guidance Suggested -
This programming contains material that parents may find unsuitable for younger children. It may contain one or more of the following: Moderate violence, some sexual situations, infrequent coarse language, or some sugges­tive dialogue.
PG-13: Parents Strongly Cautioned - This programming contains material that parents may find unsuitable for children under the age of 13. It contains one or more of the following: violence, sexual situations, coarse language, or suggestive dialogue.
R: Restricted -This programming is specifi- cally designed for adults. Anyone under the age of 17 should view this programming only with an accompanying parent or adult guardian. It contains one or more of the fol­lowing: intense violence; intense sexual sit­uations; strong, coarse language; or intense­ly suggestive dialogue.
NC-17: No one under the age of 17 will be admitted. - This type of programming
should be viewed by adults only. It contains graphic violence; explicit sex; or crude, indecent language.
X: Adults Only - This type of programming contains one or more of the following: very graphic violence, very graphic and explicit or indecent sexual acts, very coarse and intensely suggestive language.

PIP – BASIC CONNECTIONS
P
icture-In-Picture (PIP) is the
showing of two pictures on the TV screen at the same time (one main screen picture and one small picture, or PIP). For your ease and convenience, this TV has two sepa­rate inputs (ANTenna A and PIP ANTenna B) for your homeÕs Antenna and/or Cable TV system signal.
The ANT A input is primarily for the TVÕ s main screen picture. The PIP ANT B input is provided as a second dedicated source option for the TVÕs PIP ÒwindowÓ and its feature opera­tions. The signal connected to the PIP ANT B input can be either a split signal input (as described in the sec­tion on this page) or another type of external signal source (such as a satellite dish system, additional home antenna, video accessory, etc.).
See the following steps on how chan­nels connected to the PIP ANT(enna) B Input can be shown and used with­in the PIP window.
Connect your Antenna or
Cable TV signal to the single,
75-ohm input plug on a two-way signal splitter (not supplied).
Connect two lengths of RF coaxial cable (F-type connectors on both ends) to the two output plugs on the two-way signal splitter.
Connect the twin OUTPUT
plugs on the signal splitter to the
ANT A and PIP ANT B inputs on the rear of the TV.

For other possible PIP
connections see the “More Connections” section on pages 46–47.

TROUBLESHOOTING
• Check the TV power cord. Unplug the TV, wait 10 seconds, then reinsert the plug into the outlet and push the POWER button again.
• Check that the outlet is not on a wall switch.
• Be sure the fuse is not blown on the AC power strip, if one is being used.
• Check antenna connections. Are they properly secured to the TV's ANTA/B 75Ω plug?
• Check the TUNER MODE control for the correct tuner setting.
• Try running the Auto Program feature to find all available channels.
• Press the SOURCE button on the remote to make sure the correct signal source is selected (AV1 [or CVI], AV2, AV3, or S-VIDEO).
• Check the batteries. If necessary, replace them with AA Heavy Duty (Zinc Chloride) or Alkaline batteries.
• Clean the remote control and the remote control sensor window on the TV.
• Check the TV power cord. Unplug the TV, wait 10 seconds, then reinsert the plug into the outlet and push the POWER button again.
• Be sure the fuse is not blown on the AC power strip, if one is being used.
• Check to be sure the TV outlet is not on a wall switch.
• Check the VOLUME buttons.
• Check the MUTE button on the remote control.
• Check the SPEAKER onscreen control. If it is in the OFF position, sound at the set will be eliminated.
• If you’re attempting to hook up auxiliary equipment, check the audio jack connections.
• (If applicable) Check the audio receiver for the correct operating mode.
• Repeat channel selection.
• Add the desired channel numbers (using the CHANNEL EDIT control) into the TV’s memory.
• Check to be sure the TUNER MODES are set to the CABLE option and run the Auto Program feature to find all available channels.
P
lease make these simple checks
before calling for service. Because charges for TV installa­tion and adjustment of customer controls are not covered under your warranty, these tips can save you time and money.
CAUTION: A video source (such as a video game, compact disc interactive [CDI], or TV information channel) that shows a constant nonmoving pattern on the TV screen can cause picture tube damage. When your TV is continuously used with such a source, the pattern of the nonmoving portion of the game (or other source) can leave a permanent image on the picture tube. When youÕre not using the video source, turn it OFF. Also, regularly alternate the use of such video sources with normal TV viewing.

¥ To avoid possible shock hazard, be sure the TV is unplugged from the electrical outlet
before cleaning.
¥ When you are cleaning the TV, take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface
(avoid wearing jewelry or using anything abrasive). 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. Use a clean, dry cloth to dry the wiped surfaces.
¥ Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as they
might cause permanent marring of the cabinet finish.

GLOSSARY OF TELEVISION TERMS
Alternate Channel ¥ The feature that allows you to toggle between the last two channels viewed by pressing the A/CH but­ton on the remote control.
Auto Programming ¥ The feature that, when activated, scans for all available channels from regular antenna or cable signals and stores only active broadcast stations in the TVÕs memory.
Channel Edit ¥ The feature that allows you to add or delete channels from the list of channels stored in the TVÕs memory. Channel Edit makes it easy to limit or expand the number of channels that are available to you when you press the Channel (+) or (Ð) buttons on your remote control.
Closed Captioning ¥ The broadcast standard feature that allows you to read the voice content of television programs on the TV screen. Designed to help the hearing impaired, Closed Captioning uses onscreen Òtext boxesÓ to show dialogue and conversations while a TV program is in progress.
Coaxial Cable ¥ A single, solid antenna wire normally matched with a metal plug (F type) end connector that screws (or pushes) directly onto a 75-ohm input found on the television or VCR.
Direct Audio/Video Inputs ¥ Connectors, located on the rear of the TV, used for the input of audio and video signals. These inputs are designed for use with VCRs (or other accessories) in order to receive higher picture resolution and offer sound-con­nection options.
Identify ¥ The method by which a TV remote control searches and finds an operating code for another product (such as a VCR or a cable converter). After the code has been Òidentified,Ó the TV remote control can operate and send commands to the other product.
Incredible Stereo (or Surround) ¥ False acoustic management of the audio signal that produces a dramatic expansion of the wall of sound that surrounds the listener and heightens overall viewing pleasure.
Menu ¥ An onscreen listing of feature controls that are available for you to adjust.
Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) ¥ The broadcast stan­dard that allows for stereo sound to be transmitted with the TV picture.
Onscreen Displays (OSD) ¥ The wording or messages generated by the television (or VCR) to help you with specific feature con­trols (color adjustment or programming, for example).
Picture-in-Picture ¥ The showing of two pictures on the TV screen at the same time (one main screen picture and one small picture, or PIP).
Programming ¥ The process of adding or deleting channel num­bers into the televisionÕs memory circuits. Through program­ming, the TV ÒremembersÓ only the locally available or desired channel numbers and skips over any unwanted channel numbers.
Remote Control Sensor Window ¥ The window or opening found on the television control panel and through which infrared remote control command signals are received.
Second Audio Program (SAP) ¥ An additional audio channel provided for within the Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) broadcast standard. The most frequently proposed use for SAP is the simultaneous bilingual broadcast of TV material.
Status/Exit Button ¥ The remote-control function that allows you to quickly confirm what channel number is being viewed. Status/Exit also can be used to clear the television of onscreen displays or information (rather than waiting for the displays to Òtime out,Ó or automatically disappear from the screen).
TwinÐlead Wire ¥ The more commonly used name for the two­strand, 300-ohm antenna wire used with many indoor and out­door antenna systems. In many cases, this type of antenna wire requires an additional adapter (or balun) in order to connect to the 75-ohm input terminals designed into the more recent TVs and VCRs.

LIMITED WARRANTY
WHO IS COVERED?
You must have proof of purchase to receive warranty service. A sales receipt or other document showing that you purchased the product is considered proof of purchase.
WHAT IS COVERED?
Warranty coverage begins the day you buy your product. For 90 days thereafter, all parts will be repaired or replaced free, and labor is free.
From 90 days to one year from the day of purchase, all parts will be repaired or replaced free, but you pay for all labor charges. From one to two years from the day of purchase, you pay for the replacement or repair of all parts except the picture tube, and for all labor charges. After two years from the day of purchase, you pay for the replacement or repair of all parts, and for all labor charges.
All parts, including repaired and replaced parts, are covered only for the original warranty period. When the warranty on the product expires, the warranty on all replaced and repaired parts also expires.
WHAT IS EXCLUDED?
Your warranty does not cover:
• labor charges for installation or setup of the product, adjustment of customer controls on the product, and installation or repair of antenna systems outside of the product.
• product repair and/or part replacement because of misuse, acci­dent, unauthorized repair or other cause not within the control of Philips Consumer Electronics Company.
• reception problems caused by signal conditions or cable or antenna systems outside the unit.
• a product that requires modification or adaptation to enable it to operate in any country other than the country for which it was designed, manufactured, approved and/or authorized, or repair of products damaged by these modifications.
• incidental or consequential damages resulting from the product. (Some states do not allow the exclusion of incidental or consequen­tial damages, so the above exclusion may not apply to you. This includes, but is not limited to, prerecorded material, whether copy­righted or not copyrighted.)
• a product used for commercial or institutional purposes.
WHERE IS SERVICE AVAILABLE?
Warranty service is available in all countries where the product is offi­cially distributed by Philips Consumer Electronics Company. In coun­tries where Philips Consumer Electronics Company does not distribute the product, the local Philips service organization will attempt to pro­vide service (although there may be a delay if the appropriate spare parts and technical manual(s) are not readily available).
MAKE SURE YOU KEEP...
Please keep your sales receipt or other document showing proof of purchase. Attach it to this owner’s manual and keep both nearby. Also keep the original box and packing material in case you need to return your product.
BEFORE REQUESTING SERVICE...
Please check your owner’s manual before requesting service. Adjustments of the controls discussed there may save you a service call.
