The Net1Card is a network television systems control
SmartCard that is designed to work with Philips
SmartCard televisions in a balanced RF distribution system. The Net1Card allows an individual with a unit set in
the Transmitting mode to control all televisions, up to 8
zones of televisions, or a single television, all set in the
Receive mode. The controls include turning the sets on,
setting the volume, and tuning to a specific channel for
live or prerecorded messages or programs. Any Net1Card
can be set up to transmit or receive.
The Net1Card allows the individual with the Transmitter
unit the option to lock out the Receiver units so that the
power, volume, or channels cannot be changed until they
are restored by the Transmitter unit. All of this is done in
a matter of seconds by using an optional T374AH IR
remote control device. (See page 5.) Other features
include the ability to change channels for different messages, turn off all receiver televisions from a single location, send different messages or programs to different
groups or individual sets. The Net1Card is easy to install,
set up, and operate. The Net1Card also has the ability to
poll an individual television to ensure correct systems
operation.
The Net1Card also has composite video input, an SVideo input, two audio inputs, an RF input, a speaker
jack and a cloning port for easy connectivity to a variety
of media devices.

hen unpacking the Net1Card components
from the box, be careful pulling the items
out. The box is packed with three separately
packaged items: the Net1Card Assembly Cover,
the Net1Card Circuit and Panel Board, and the
RF Input Cable. Unfold the cardboard holders
and remove the circuit board. Use the following
instructions to begin assembling the unit.
First, unplug the AC power cord from the
power outlet. Next, on the back of the TV,
remove the hex head retaining nut from around
the RF IN (antenna) jack.
Remove the hex head screws holding the
Monitor Card cover in place. Now, slide the
jack panel cover off. Be careful when pulling
the cover off. Make sure the RF IN jack slides
out of the cover, but remains attached to the
TV.
BEGIN
Remember to make sure you have the sup-
plied Net1Card parts before unplugging the TV.
You will need a hex head screw driver and a hex head
wrench in order to do the disassembly on the back of
the TV.
Keep the hex head nut from the back of the TV.

nstallation of Net1Card is easy. Remember
to follow these instructions, be patient, and
use the T374AH Set Up Remote Control (see
T374AH Remote Control Instructions - part #
IB7166E002 for complete details).
Disconnect the cable from the RF IN (anten-
na) jack inside the TV. Then, connect the cable
onto the yellow plug farthest from the 32-pin connector at the rear of the Circuit and Panel Board.
Connect the RF cable (included) onto the yel-
low plug closest to the 32-pin connector on the
Circuit and Panel Board. Then, connect the other
end of the cable to RF IN jack inside the TV.
Now, insert the Net1Card (with its compo-
nents facing down) into the back of the TV. Line
up and guide the 32-pin connector. Note: there are
guide pins to help properly insert the card. Gently,
but firmly, press the card into place.
Finally, insert the RFIN jack through the
hole on the Net1Card Assembly Cover and secure
it in place with the hex head retaining nut. Once
done, attach the Cover to the back of the TV using
the hex head screws.
Be sure to align the 32 pin connector before
pressing into place. Never force the Net1Card into
the connector. If it will not go in smoothly, realign the
guide pins and try again. Do not use the Net1Card jacks
to push the card assembly into place. Push on the cover
directly behind the card itself.
If your RF IN cable will not disconnect from the Monitor
Cover, call (800) 851-8885 to order a replacement cable.

A
combination antenna receives normal
broadcast channels (VHF 2-13 and UHF
14-69). Your connection is easy since there is
only one 75Ω (ohm) antenna plug on the
back of your TV - and that’s where the
antenna goes. (If you have more than one
antenna, please refer to the diagram at the
bottom of page 11 for additional hookups.)
If your antenna has a round cable (75 ohm)
on the end, then you're ready to connect it to the
TV.
If your antenna has flat twin-lead wire (300
ohm), you first need to attach the antenna wires to
the screws on a 300 to 75 ohm adapter.
Push the round end of the adapter (or anten-
na) onto the RF IN plug on the rear of the TV. If
the round end of the antenna wire is threaded,
screw it down tight.
BEGIN
Remember, be sure to set the TV for the
type signal you’ve connected.
To set the TV to select only the channel numbers
in your area see how to “Program” or “Add”
channels in memory.
To order any optional accessory contact your dealer or call the toll-free accessory ordering number

our Cable TV input into your home may be
a single (75 ohm) cable, or a Converter
Box installation. In either case the connection
to the TV is very easy. Just put the threaded
end of the cable signal to the TV's antenna
plug and screw it down tight.
If your Cable TV signal is a single round
cable (75 ohm) then you're ready to connect to the
TV.
If you have a Cable TV Converter Box:
Connect the Cable TV signal to the Cable Signal
IN(put) plug on the Converter.
Connect the Cable TV cable to the RF IN plug
on the TV.
If you have a Cable TV Converter Box:
Connect the OUT(put) plug from the Converter to
the RF IN plug on the TV (connecting cable supplied with the Converter).
BEGIN
Remember, set the TV to the “Cable TV
Mode.” Then, to select only the channel
numbers on your Cable system see “Auto
Program” (refer to page 34 for both features).
If you use a Cable Converter box, set the TV to
the same channel as the converter's CH 3/4 switch
(on the rear of the converter.)
