HOOKING UP YOUR TV (ANTENNA/CABLE CONNECTIONS)

A

combination antenna

or a rod antenna (sup­plied) receives normal
broadcast channels (VHF
2-13 and UHF 14-69).
Your connection is easy
since there is only one
75Ω (ohm) ANT(enna)
plug on the back of your
TV - and that’s where the
antenna goes.

A

NTENNA

COMBINATION UHF/VHF

Remember,
be sure to set the
TV for the type sig­nal you've connect­ed (see Channel
Auto Memo, page

4).

To set the TV to
select only the
channel numbers in
your area, see
Channel Auto
Memo on page 4.

SMART

HELP

If you install a rod
antenna (supplied), push the
stem of the antenna into the
antenna hole on the right of
the rear of the TV.
If your antenna has a round
cable (75Ω), then you're
ready to connect it to the TV.

If your antenna has flat twin­lead wire (300Ω), you first
need to attach the antenna
wires to the screws on a 300
to 75Ω adaptor.

Push the round end of the
rod antenna, adaptor, or cable
onto the ANT(enna) plug on
the rear of the TV. If the round

end of the adaptor or cable is
threaded, screw it down tight.

Y

ou may have two sepa-

rate antennas. One
antenna is for VHF chan­nels (2-13) and the other
antenna is for UHF chan­nels (14-69).

For homes with separate
UHF/VHF antennas, you
will need an optional com­biner before you can con­nect the antenna signal to
the TV.

losed Captioning 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
show dialogue and conversa­tions while the TV program
is in progress.
Note: Broadcast stations will
often use spelling abbrevia­tions, symbols, dropouts, and
other grammatical shortcuts
in order to keep pace with
the on screen action. These
factors vary upon the source
of the captioned text materi­al and do not indicate a need
for TV service.

CLOSED CAPTIONING

Press the MENU button
repeatedly to select CCD
SELECT with the TV’s on
screen arrow.

Press the SET +/- buttons
or the SELECT button to
select the desired Closed
Caption mode, for example,
CAPTION C1.

Note: Usually

CAPTION C1 is
the preferred mode for viewing
captioned material.

CAPTION C1 or C2 mode:
dialogue (and descriptions) for
the action on the TV program
shows on screen. (See Smart
Help on this page.)

TEXT C1 or C2 mode: a black
box will appear on the TV
screen. If this type of Closed
Captioning is available, text or
information will appear.

Remember,
not all TV
programs and com­mercials are broad­cast with Closed
Caption informa­tion. Neither are all
Closed Caption
modes (CAPTION
C1 or C2) necessar­ily being used by a
broadcast station
during the transmis­sion of a Closed

APTION

Round Cable 75Ω - A single, solid, antenna wire normally matched with

a metal plug (F-type) end connector that screws (or pushes) directly onto a
75Ω input on the Television or VCR. It is also known as a Coaxial Cable.

Display - Allows you to quickly confirm the current channel number.
Jack Panel - The area on the back of the TV cabinet.
On Screen Displays (OSD) - The wording or messages generated by the

television to help you with specific features (color adjustment, program­ming, etc.).

Menu - An on screen listing of features that are available for adjustments.

Programming - Adding or deleting channel numbers in the television’s

memory. The television “remembers’’ only the locally available or desired
channel numbers and skips over any unwanted channel numbers.

Remote Sensor - A window on the television control panel through which
infrared remote control signals are received.

Twin Lead Wire - The two-strand 300Ω antenna wire used with many
indoor and outdoor antenna systems. In many cases, this antenna wire
requires an additional adaptor (or balun) in order to connect to the 75Ω
Input terminal of more recent televisions and VCRs.

GLOSSARY

Operation Tips and Notes:

(1) Captions and texts may not match the TV voice exactly.
(2) Interference may cause the Closed Caption system to function improp-

erly.

(3) Closed Captioning will not appear if the menu or channel number is

on screen. Closed Captioning may be delayed briefly when you
change channels.

(4) If a black box appears on screen, you have selected a TEXT mode. To

clear the screen, set CCD SELECT to CAPTION C1, CAPTION C2,
or CCD OFF.

90 Days Free Labor

One Year Free Replacement of Parts (Two Years Free Replacement on Color Picture Tube)

This product must be carried in for repair.

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.
