Positioning the TV
Carefully read the safety precautions before positioning the TV.
• Position the TV where light does not shine directly on the screen.
Position the TV at the ideal viewing distance. Get more from HD TV picture or any picture without straining your eyes. Find the 'sweet spot', right in front of the TV, for the best possible TV experience and relaxed viewing.
The ideal distance to watch TV from is three times its diagonal screen size. When seated, your eyes should be level with the centre of the screen.
Safety and care
Make sure you have read and understood all instructions before using your TV. The warranty becomes invalid if any damage is caused by failure to follow instructions.
Risk of electric shock or fire!
• Never expose the TV or remote control to rain, water or excessive heat.
• Never place liquid containers, such as vases, near the TV. If liquids are spilt on or into the TV, disconnect the TV from the power outlet immediately. Contact Philips Consumer Care to have the TV checked before use.
• Never place the TV, remote control or batteries near naked flames or other heat sources, including direct sunlight.
• Keep candles and other naked flames away from this product at all times.
• Never insert objects into the ventilation slots or other openings on the TV.
• Ensure power plugs do not come under heavy force. Loose power plugs can cause arcing and are a fire hazard.
• Never place the TV or any objects on the power cord.
• When disconnecting the power cord, always pull the plug, never the cord.
Risk of injury or damage to the TV!
• Two people are required to lift and carry a TV that weighs more than 25 kg.
• If you mount the TV on a stand, only use the supplied stand.
Secure the stand to the TV tightly. Place the TV on a flat, level surface that can support the weight of the TV.
• When mounting the TV on a wall, ensure that the wall mount can safely bear the weight of the TV set. Koninklijke Philips
Electronics N.V. bears no responsibility for improper wall mounting that results in accident, injury or damage.
Risk of injury to children!
Follow these precautions to prevent the TV from toppling over and causing injury to children:
• Never place the TV on a surface covered by a cloth or other material that can be pulled away.
• Ensure that no part of the TV hangs over the edge of the mounting surface.
• Never place the TV on tall furniture, such as a bookcase, without anchoring both the furniture and TV to the wall or a suitable support.
• Educate children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the TV.
Risk of overheating!
Always leave a space of at least 10 cm around the TV for ventilation. Ensure curtains or other objects never cover the ventilation slots on the TV.
Lightning storms
Disconnect the TV from the power outlet and antenna before lightning storms. During lightning storms, never touch any part of the TV, power cord or antenna cable.
Risk of hearing damage!
Avoid using earphones or headphones at high volumes or for prolonged periods of time.
Low temperatures
If the TV is transported in temperatures below 5°C, unpack the
TV and wait until the TV temperature reaches room temperature before connecting the TV to the mains.
• Risk of damage to the TV screen! Never touch, push, rub or strike the screen with any object.
• Unplug the TV before cleaning.
• Clean the TV and frame with a soft damp cloth. Never use substances such as alcohol, chemicals or household cleaners on the TV.
• To avoid deformations and colour fading, wipe off water drops as soon as possible.
• Avoid stationary images as much as possible. Stationary images are images that remain onscreen for extended periods of time.
Stationary images include onscreen menus, black bars, time displays, etc. If you must use stationary images, reduce screen contrast and brightness to avoid screen damage.
