SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - Read before operating equipment

This product was designed and manufactured to meet strict quality and
safety standards. There are, however , some installation and operation pre­cautions which you should be particularly aware of.

1. Read Instructions - All the safety and operating instructions should
be read before the appliance is operated.

2. Retain Instructions - The safety and operating instructions should
be retained for future reference.

3. Heed Warnings - All warnings on the appliance and in the operating
instructions should be adhered to.

4. Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions should be
followed.

5. Water and Moisture - The appliance should not be used near water

- for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub,
in a wet basement or near a swimming pool, etc.

6. Carts and Stands - The appliance should be used only with a cart or
stand that is recommended by the manufacturer.

6A. An appliance and cart combination should be moved

with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven sur­faces may cause the appliance and cart combination to
overturn.

6B. Tilt/Stability - All televisions must comply with recommended inter-

national global safety standards for tilt and stability properties of its
cabinet design.

• Do not compromise these design standards by applying exces-

sive pull force to the front, or top, of the cabinet which could
ultimately overturn the product.

• Also, do not endanger yourself, or children, by placing elec-

tronic equipment/toys on the top of the cabinet. Such items
could unsuspectingly fall from the top of the set and cause
product damage and/or personal injury.

7. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to a
wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

8. Ventilation - The appliance should be situated so that its location or
position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example,
the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar
surface that may block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a built­in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the
flow of air through the ventilation openings.

9. Heat - The appliance should be situated away from heat sources
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (includ­ing amplifiers) that produce heat.

10. Power Sources - The appliance should be connected to a power sup­ply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as
marked on the appliance.

11. Power-Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be routed so
that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed
upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords and plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
appliance.

12. Cleaning - The appliance should be cleaned only as recommended
by the manufacturer.

13. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away from
power lines.

14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected to
the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to pro­vide some protection against voltage surges and built up static
charges.

Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984,
provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mats
and supporting structure grounding of the lead-in wire to an anten­na discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, location of antenna­discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and require­ments for the grounding electrode. See Fig. below.

15. Non-use Periods - The power cord of the appliance should be
unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time.

16. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do not
fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.

17. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be ser viced by
qualified service personnel when:

A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance;

or

C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a

marked change in performance; or

E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.

18. Servicing - The user should not attempt to service the appliance

beyond that described in the operating instructions. All other servic­ing should be referred to qualified service personnel.

Note to the CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the
CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that pro­vides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the
cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building,
as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

UNDERSTANDING THE SMARTLOCK™ CONTROL

T

he SmartLock feature is an inte-

grated circuit that receives and
processes data sent by broadcast­ers, or other program providers,
that contain program content advi­sories. When programmed by the
viewer, a TV with SmartLock can
respond to the content advisories
and block program content that may
be found objectionable (such as
offensive language, violence, sexual
situations, etc.). This is a great fea­ture to censor the type of viewing
children may watch.

Over the next few pages you’ll
learn how to block channels and

certain rated programming. Below
is a brief explanation of some terms
and ratings you will find in the
SmartLock feature.

SmartLock offers various
BLOCKING OPTION controls
from which to choose:

MASTER DISABLE: This is what
might be called the "master switch"
for SmartLock. When in the ON
position, ALL blocking/censoring is
turned off (or disabled). When in the
OFF position, ALL blocking based
on specifically blocked settings will
take place.

BLOCK UNRATED: ALL unrated
programs based on the Movie
Ratings or Parental (TV) Guidelines
can be blocked if this feature is set
to ON and the MASTER DISABLE
feature is set to OFF.

BLOCK NO RATINGS: ALL pro­gramming with NO content advisory
data can be blocked if this feature is
set to ON and the MASTER DIS­ABLE feature is set to OFF.

After an access code has been pro­grammed, you can block up to 5

individual channels. But more than
just blocking channels, certain
blocking options exist which will
block programming based on ratings
patterned by the Motion Pictures
Association of America and TV
broadcasters. (See description of rat­ings on this page.)

HOW TO SET THE TV FOR STEREO PROGRAMS

Y

our TV can detect a stereo sig-

nal and will set itself automat­ically so the stereo sound can be
heard. However, there may be
occasions when you might want to
set the TV to mono. The following
steps describe how to change the
SOUND control:

Press the MENU button on

the remote to show the onscreen

menu.

Press the CURSOR UP © or

CURSOR DOWN ■ button

until the word SOUND is high­lighted.

Press the CURSOR RIGHT

©© or CURSOR LEFT §§

buttons to choose between
STEREO or MONO.

With STEREO selected, the tele­vision will reproduce any stereo
broadcast signal it receives.
Please note that you can force a
stereo broadcast signal to MONO,
but you cannot force a mono
broadcast signal to stereo.

SAP is an additional part of the
stereo broadcast system. Sent as a
third audio channel SAP can be
heard apart from the current TV
program sound. TV stations are
free to use SAP for any number
of purposes, but many experts
believe it will be used for foreign
language translations of TV
shows (or for weather and news
bulletins.)

If a SAP signal is not present
with a selected program, the SAP
option cannot be selected. Also, if
SAP is selected on a channel
(with SAP) and you select anoth­er channel, when you return to
the original channel SAP will be
OFF (and you will have to rese­lect the SAP feature.)

Remember: If stereo is

not present on a selected
show, the TV cannot be placed in
the STEREO mode. The sound
coming from the set will remain
monaural (mono).

hether you’re watching a

movie or a video game, your
TV has automatic video control set­tings matched for your current pro­gram source or content. The
SmartPicture feature quickly resets
your TV’s video controls for a num­ber of different types of programs
and viewing conditions you may
have in your home. Each
SmartPicture setting is preset at the
factory to automatically adjust the
TV’s Brightness, Color, Picture,
Sharpness, Tint, and Color
Temperature levels.

Press the SMARTPICTURE

button on the remote control. The

current SmartPicture setting will
appear in the middle of the screen.

Press the SmartPicture button

repeatedly to select either PER-

SONAL, MOVIES, SPORTS, or
WEAK SIGNAL picture settings.

Note: The PERSONAL setting is
the setting that you setup using the
PICTURE options within the
onscreen menu. This is the only
SmartPicture control setting that
can be changed. All other settings
are setup at the factory during the
time of production. If settings are
changed while using the Movie,
Sports, or Weak Signal selections,
the changes you make will become
the “new” Personal settings. The
Movie, Sports, and Weak Signal
settings cannot be changed.

USING THE SMARTSOUND™ CONTROL

NOTE: When the VOICE mode of

SmartSound is selected the AVL fea­ture will be automatically turned ON.

T

he SmartSound feature allows

the listener to select between
four different factory set sound
options. Personal (which can be set
by the user), Theater (for movie
viewing), Music (for musical type
programming) and Voice (when the
program is mainly dialogue). To
select any of the options follow the
directions below.

Press the SMARTSOUND but-

ton on the remote control. The cur-

rent SmartSound setting will appear
in the middle of the screen.

Press the SMART SOUND

button repeatedly to toggle

between the four settings.

Remember, only the PERSONAL
control can be changed by the view­er. This changes the settings in the
main onscreen menu's sound con­trols.

All other settings are setup at
the factory during the time of pro­duction. If settings are changed
while using the Theater, Music or
Voice selections, the changes you
make will become the “new”
Personal settings. The Theater,
Music and Voice settings cannot be
changed.

SMART
HELP

Remember,
SmartSound works
only with the programs
coming through the 75 V
input jack on the rear of the
TV (RF audio). It will not
control the sound levels for
the External connections.

In most cases the volume levels com­ing from broadcast programming or
commercials are never the same.
With the AVL control turned ON,
you can have the TV level out the
sound being heard. This makes for a
more consistent sound by reducing
the peaks and valleys that occur dur­ing program changes or commercial
breaks.

TIPS IF SOMETHING ISN'T WORKING

• Check the TV power cord. Unplug the TV, wait 10 seconds, then reinsert plug into
outlet and push POWER button again.

• Check that outlet is not on a wall switch. Be sure fuse is not blown on AC Power strip.

• Check antenna connections. Are they properly secured to the TV's 75Ω plug?

• Check the TUNER control for CABLE or ANTENNA setting.

• Check Audio/Video Input jack connections if using a VCR or other external device.

• Check batteries. Replace with AA Heavy Duty (Zinc Chloride) or Alkaline batteries
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. Be sure fuse is not blown on AC Power strip if
one is being used.

• Check to be sure TV outlet is not on a wall switch.

• Check the VOLUME buttons.

• Check the MUTE button on the remote control.

• Check Audio/Video Input jack connections if using a VCR or other external device.

• Repeat channel selection.

• Add desired channel numbers (CHANNEL control) into TV memory.

• Check to be sure the TUNER control is set to the CABLE option.

P

lease make these simple

checks before calling for ser­vice. These tips can save you time
and money since charges for TV
installation and adjustment of
customer controls are not cov­ered under 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.

• Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as they might cause permanent marring
of the cabinet finish.

CAUTION: Avideo 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
permanently 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.

GLOSSARY OF TELEVISION TERMS

Coaxial Cable • Asingle 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 onscreen
"text boxes" to show dialogue and conversations while the TV
program is in progress.

Direct Audio/Video Inputs • Located on the rear of the TV
these connectors (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.

Identify • Method by which a remote control searches and finds
an operating code for another product (such as a VCR or Cable
Converter). Once the code has been "identified" then the TV
remote can operate and send commands to the other product.

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 onscreen 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.

PIP (Picture In Picture) • Allows viewing of different programs
(or picture sources) on the TV screen at the same time. PIP will
also let you swap the pictures, move the PIP picture to any of the
four corners, and even freeze the picture until you shut it off.

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 setup and use. Settings for signal
connections (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.)

Second Audio Program (SAP) • Another or additional audio
channel provided for in the Multichannel Television Sound
(MTS) broadcast standard. The most frequently proposed use
for SAP is the simultaneous bilingual broadcast of TV program
material.

Status • 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.

90 Days Free Labor

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

This product can be repaired in-home.

LIMITED WARRANTY

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.

TO GET WARRANTY SERVICE IN U.S.A.,
PUERTO RICO OR U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS...

Contact a Philips factory service center (see enclosed list) or autho­rized service center to arrange repair.

(In U.S.A., Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands, all implied warranties,
including implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a partic­ular purpose, are limited in duration to the duration of this express
warranty. But, because some states do not allow limitations on how
long an implied warranty may last, this limitation may not apply to
you.)

other warranties are expressed or implied, including any implied war­ranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Philips is
not liable under any circumstances for any direct, indirect, special, inci­dental or consequential damages, howsoever incurred, even if notified
of the possibility of such damages.)
