Introduction

Your Philips Institutional Television tuning system is set to operate in either "Consumer" or "Commercial" type product modes. In the
Consumer mode the tuning system operates as a standard TV, allowing normal initial power ON, channel selection, and volume control
(as well as a variety of select Menu features). Use the supplied remote control to adjust the TV in the Consumer mode. Refer to the

"On-Screen Features (Consumer)" section in this manual for descriptions on the use and operation of Consumer mode Menu controls.
Use a T374AH (RG4172-BK03) remote with its TV Setup, Guest, and Data Communication Mode capabilities to set the TV for the
various Commercial mode settings. (Note: On some select Institutional TV models you may also be able to use the buttons at the set to
select a Setup Mode. Again, this may not apply or be available on your current model. Commercial setup and verification procedures
may be performed which are backward compatible with previous Commercial chassis setup remotes. (See T374AH Remote Control
Instructions, part # IB7166E002, for specific operating details.)

Tips If Something Isn’t WoRKiNCi

CAUTION: A video source (such as a video game, Compact Disc Interactive - CDI, or
TV information channel) which shows a constant non-moving pattern on the TV screen
can cause picture tube damage. When your TV is continuously used with such a source,
the pattern of the non-moving portion of the game (CDI, etc.) could leave an image per
manently on the picture tube. When not in use, turn the video source OFF. Regularly
alternate the use of such video sources with normal TV viewing.

Check the TV power cord. Unplug the TV, wait 10 seconds, then reinsert plug into
outlet and push POWER button again.
Check to be sure outlet is not on a wall switch.
Check MODE access in Setup Menu (see page 2) for correct operation mode. Also
check POWER ON and KEYBOARD controls for commercial users.

• Check antenna connections on the rear of the TV. Are they properly secured to the
antenna plug on the TV?

• Check the CABLE TUNING control for correct position. Check A/V MUTE, ACCESS
LEVEL, VIDEO BLANK, and EVENT MENU controls for correct setting in Setup
Menu for commercial users.

• Check INPUT (under CHANNEL INSTALLATION in CONSUMER mode) for correct
position. FRONT, AUX, or S-VIDEO positions without a supplied video signal source

will result in a blank screen.

This TV is equipped with protective circuitry that shuts the TV off in case of moderate
power surges. Should this occur turn the TV back on by pressing the POWER button
once or twice, or unplug (wait 10 seconds) and then replug the power cord at the AC
outlet. This feature is NOT designed to prevent damage due to high power surges such
as those caused by lightning, which is not covered by your warranty.

Cleaning and Care

• To avoid possible shock hazard be sure the TV is unplugged from the electrical outlet before cleaning.

• When cleaning the TV screen, 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.

• Occasionally vacuum the ventilation holes or slots in the cabinet back.

• 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

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.

Closed Caption - Broadcast standard which allows you to read the

voice content of television programs on the TV screen. Designed to
help the hearing impaired this feature uses on-screen "text boxes" to

type coaxial cables. Also referred to as Bayonet Nut Coupler.

Display - An on screen message or graphics that helps the user operate

and adjust his Television feature controls. See On Screen Displays
(OSD).

Direct Audio/Video Inputs - Located on the rear of the TV, these con

nectors (RCA phono type plug) are used for the input of audio and
video signals. Designed for use with VCRs (or other accessories) in
order to receive higher picture resolution and offer sound connection
options.

Event - Defines operation of the TV control system. Each event can

be programmed for the day(s) of the week; turn ON time; turn OFF
time; and channel.

Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) - The broadcast standard that

allows for stereo sound to be transmitted with the TV picture.

On Screen Displays (OSD) - Refers to the wording or messages gen

erated by the television (or VCR) to help the user with specific feature
controls (color adjustment, programming, etc.).

Menu - An onscreen listing of feature controls shown on the Television

screen that are made available for user adjustments.

Programming - The procedure of adding or deleting channel numbers

into the Television’s memory circuits. In this way the Television “remem

300 Ohm antenna wire used with many indoor and outdoor antenna sys
tems. In many cases this type of antenna wire requires an additional
adapter (or balun) in order to connect to the 75 Ohm Input terminals of
