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.

7.

Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to a

wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

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.

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
built-in 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
antenna-discharge 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 serviced 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.

SAP is an additional part of the

bulletins.)

If a SAP signal is not present
with a selected program, the SAP
option cannot be selected. Also, if

Tips If Something Isn't Working

lease make these simple

checks before calling for ser

P

vice. These tips can save you
time and money since charges for

TV installation and adjustment of
customer controls are not cov
ered under your warranty.

No Power

No Picture

No Sound

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 picmre 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.

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 anterma connections. Are they properly secured to the TV's ANT/CABLE plug ?
Check the CABLE/ YES NO control for correct position.
Check INPUT control for correct position. The VCR-AUX or S-VHS position without
a signal source will result in a blank screen.

Check the VOLUME buttons.
Check the MUTE button on the remote control.
Check the SPEAKER on-screen control. OFF position will eliminate sound at the set.
If attempting auxiliary equipment hook-ups, check audio jack connections.

Check TV-VCR-CBL “System” buttons on the remote. Press the remote’s TV System

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.

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

Repeat channel selection.

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

Check CABLE/ YES NO control for correct position.

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.

Glossary to 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 show dialogue and conversations while the TV pro
gram is in progress.

Direct AudioA^ideo 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 acces
sories) 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 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 coimec­tions (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 wait

ing 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

COLOR TELEVISION

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.

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).

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.
