you're ready to connect it to the TV.
If your antenna has flat twin-lead

attach the antenna wires to the screws
on a 300 to 75 ohm adapter.

Push the round end of the

adapter (or antenna) onto the ANTENNA/CABLE plug on the rear of the TV. If the round end of the antenna wire is threaded, screw it down tight.

• 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.
if necessary. Clean the remote and the remote sensor window on the TV. 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 TV outlet is not on a wall switch.
Repeat channel selection.
Add desired channel numbers (CHANNEL EDIT control) into TV memory. Check TUNING ANTENNA/CABLE control for correct position.

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.

Glossary of Terms
Round Cable 75Q * 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. (Also known as Coaxial Cable.)
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 show dialogue and conversations while the TV pro gram is in progress.
AudioA^ideo 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 acces sories) in order to receive higher picture resolution and offer sound
connection options.
On Screen Displays (OSD) * Refers to the wording or messages generated by the television (or VCR) to help the user with specific feature controls (color adjustment, programming, etc.).
Menu * An on-screen listing of feature controls shown on the Television screen that are made available for user adjustments.
Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) * The broadcast standard that allows for stereo sound to be transmitted with the TV picture.
Programming * The procedure of adding or deleting channel numbers into the Television’s memory circuits. In this way the Television “remembers” only the locally available or desired channel numbers and skips over any unwanted channel numbers.
Remote Sensor Window * A window or opening found on the Television control panel through which infrared remote control command signals are received.
Setup Mode * Automatic feature control settings made by the TV. Designed for first time set-up and use. Settings for signal connec tions (antenna or cable TV), plus channel program memory are held in the TV's memory (even if the set is unplugged and moved to a new location.)
Status/Exit * Allows the user to quickly confirm what channel number is currently being viewed. Status can also be used to clear the Television of on screen displays or information (rather than waiting for the displays to “time out” or automatically disappear from the screen).
Twin Lead Wire * The more commonly used name for the two strand 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 Televisions and
VCRs.

LIMITED WARRANTY

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 service.

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, acci dent, 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 consequen
tial damages, so the above exclusion may not apply to you. This
includes, but is not limited to, prerecorded material, whether copy righted 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 offi cially distributed by Philips Consumer Electronics Company. In coun tries where Philips Consumer Electronics Company does not distribute the product, the local Philips service organization will attempt to pro vide service (although there may be a delay if the appropriate spare parts and technical manual(s) are not readily available).
