ScanCard II provides a method of displaying VGA/SVGA,
composite video, S-Video, and various audio connections to
any of the Philips 19”, 25”, 27”, 32” or 36” SmartCard tele­visions. This allows the user more dynamic picture and
sound quality when using computers, video cameras,
VCRs, DVD Players, Laser Disc Players, CD-i Players,
Web Browsers, and Satellite Systems.

With use of a T374AH Setup Remote (see T374AH Remote

Control Instructions - part # IB7166E002 for complete
details), the installer can adjust the normal commercial tele-

vision functions (with the exception of the BRIGHTNESS
and PICTURE settings for VGA and NON-VGA display
modes). ScanCard II will store a separate set of BRIGHT­NESS and PICTURE settings for these display modes. This
allows the display to be optimized for computer generated
graphics while retaining display settings that are pleasing
for off-air or accessory equipment viewing (VCR, DVD,
etc.).

With the ability to adjust the picture through horizontal and
vertical scaling, ScanCard II allows full use of your display
when using the most current computer software applica­tions.

When tuned to the VGA channel, ScanCard II gives the
option of viewing the display twice as large with a 2x
ZOOM feature. This larger display can be “PANNED” left,
right, up, or down by pressing the remote’s CURSOR
keys.

This unique television module can easily be linked or
“daisy chained” to multiple monitors using the “loop­through” jacks located on the rear jack panel of ScanCard
II. You can create a central control area with many monitor­ing stations, ideal for educational purposes.

Access to additional external inputs provided by ScanCard
II can be obtained simply by changing channels. Using the
channel UP/DOWN buttons to select the three channels
directly below the lowest broadcast channel, will allow the
use of AUX, S-VIDEO, and VGA inputs. These “channels”
can also be selected directly using the supplied remote.
This remote has dedicated buttons labeled SVID, VGA, and
AUX. Pressing any of these buttons will directly tune the
SmartCard TV to it’s respective channel (or input jack).

ScanCard II transforms any SmartCard television into the
ultimate display for computer graphics, TV broadcast pro­gramming, inter-active CD-Rom, DVD, Laser Disc Players
or any of today’s hi-tech entertainment devices.

hen unpacking the ScanCard II compo-

nents from the box, be careful pulling the
items out. The box is packed with five separate­ly packaged items; The ScanCard II Assembly
Cover, the ScanCard II Circuit Board, the
ScanCard II Jack Panel Board, the RF Input
Plug/Retaining Nut/Hex Head Screw, and the
Remote Control Unit. Unfold the Cardboard
holders to release the two Circuit Boards and
use the following instructions to assemble the
unit.

Line up the 25 pin connector on the

ScanCard II Circuit board with the 25 pin con­nector on the Jack Panel board. Carefully but
firmly, press the connectors together until the
pins are fully set into the designated connector.

Attach the RF Input Plug to the ScanCard II
Assembly Cover, and use the Retaining Nut to
secure it to the cover.

Using the Hex Head Screw supplied, secure

the Jack Panel board to the ScanCard II Cover.

Remember to be careful when pushing the

25 Pin connectors together. Try not to bend or
force the pins into place. If they will not slide in easily,
please disconnect the two boards and start over.

Do not over tighten the Hex Head Screw when securing
the Assembly to its cover. Over tightening can cause
stripping of the ScanCard II Assembly Cover.

nstallation of the ScanCard II 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). Note: This is not the remote supplied
with the ScanCard II package.

Start by unplugging the AC power cord
from the wall socket. Remove the hex head
screws holding the card cover in place. Slide the

card cover off. Be careful when pulling the
Antenna jack (RF IN) out of its plug.

Insert the ScanCard II (with its components

facing down) into the back of the TV. Line up

and guide the 32 pin connector into place. Note:
There are guide pins to help line up the Card
properly. Gently, but firmly, press the card into
place by pushing on the card cover directly in line
with the circuit board itself.

DO NOT press the card into place by pushing on
the corners of the card cover.

Press the RF IN (Antenna) jack firmly into

its plug and replace the hex head screws to secure
the card and card cover to the rear of the TV.

Remember, unplug the TV to avoid electrical

shock damage to the TV.

Be sure to align the 32 pin connector before pressing into
place. Never force the ScanCard II into the connector. If it
will not go in smoothly, realign the guide pins and try
again.

Do not use the ScanCard II jacks to push the card
assembly into place. Push on the cover directly behind
the card itself.

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.

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 33 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.)
