Audio/Video Jack Panel allows direct connections with VCRs, DVDs, or other devices, providing quality TV picture and sound playback.
Audio Volume Leveler (AVL) Control keeps the TV sound at an even level. Peaks and valleys that occur during program changes or commercial breaks are reduced, making for a more consistent, comfortable sound.
AutoChronª automatically sets the right time of day and maintains it with digital precision through brownouts, power failures, and even
Daylight Savings Time adjustments.
AutoLockª allows you to block the viewing of certain channels or programs with certain ratings if you do not want your children to view inappropriate materials.
Auto Programming scans (when activated) for all available channels from regular antenna or cable signals and stores only active broadcast stations in the TVÕs memory.
AutoPictureª allows you to change the picture settings (color, tint, contrast, etc.) for various types of programming, such as sports, movies, multimedia (games), or weak signals with the push of one button.
AutoSoundª allows you to select from three factory-set controls and a personal control that you set according to your own preferences through the onscreen Sound menu. The three factory-set controls (Voice, Music, and Theatre) enable you to tailor the TV sound so as to enhance the particular programming you are watching.
Channel Edit allows you to add or delete channels from the list stored in the TVÕs memory. Channel Edit makes it easy to limit or expand the number of channels that are available to you when you press the Channel (+) or
(Ð) buttons on your remote control.
Closed Captioning allows the viewer to read TV program dialogue or voice conversations as onscreen text.
ImageMaxª helps you sharpen the picture quality by making dark portions of the picture darker and light portions brighter.
Infrared Remote Control works your TV and other remote-controlled devices, such as VCRs, DVD players, cable converters, and satellite receivers.
Infrared Remote (IR) Blaster works with the M-Link feature to enable your TV to ÒlearnÓ the remote-control commands of new Philips devices or multibrand devices that you have connected to your TV. After the commands are learned, you can use your TV remote control to operate and control all of the devices.
M-Linkª allows you to convert your TV into a home-cinema control center composed of up to six devices (including an audio amplifier). You activate the devices by pressing macro buttons and control the devices by pressing ÒhotÓ buttons on your remote control. Choose from cable box, digital set top box, DVD (digital video disc), laser disc (LD), satellite digital TV, VCD (video compact disc), and VCR (video cassette recorder) devices. (The IR Blaster must be plugged in before turning ON the TV.)
Onscreen Menu shows helpful messages and instructions for setting TV feature controls (can be viewed in English, French, or Spanish).
Sleep Timer automatically turns the TV OFF after a set amount of time that you choose.
Standard Broadcast (VHF/UHF) or Cable TV (CATV) channel capability allows for viewing by antenna or cable.
Stereo capability, including a built-in audio amplifier and twin-speaker system, allows for the reception of TV programs broadcast in stereo sound.
Surf Button allows you to easily switch among only the channels that are of interest to you (the ones that you have programmed into the TVÕs Surf control through the onscreen menu).
Timer allows you to set your TV to turn itself ON and OFF once or daily like an alarm clock.

ANT(ENNA) A & B INPUTS
Y our TV has two separate ANT(enna)/Cable
inputs on the rear of the set. These two signal inputs offer convenient hook-up options for both normal TV program viewing and
Picture-In-Picture (PIP) features.
The ANT(enna) A input is
intended for use and viewing on the TV’s main screen. Your home’s primary Antenna, or Cable TV signal, should be connected to this input for normal
TV setup, use and feature operation.
BEGIN
A typical ANT(enna)
A and PIP ANT B connection
(using a common signal source and an optional Signal Splitter):
If your Antenna or Cable TV signal has a round cable con-
nector (75 ohm) on the end, then you're ready to connect it to the 75ohm Signal Splitter.
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 before connecting to the 75ohm Signal Splitter.
300 to 75 Ω Adapter
Twin Lead
Wire
OR
Connect your Antenna or
Cable TV signal to the single
75 ohm input plug on the twoway Signal Splitter (optional).
Then connect two lengths of RF
Coaxial Cable to the two Output plugs on the two-way Signal
Splitter (F-type connector on both ends).
Combination VHF/UHF Antenna
- Outdoor or Indoor Antenna receives normal broadcast channels
2-13 (VHF) and 14-69 (UHF).
Round Cable
Connect the twin Output
plugs on the Signal Splitter to the ANT A and PIP ANT B inputs on the rear of the TV.
Push the round connector end of the RF Coaxial Cable onto the
ANT(enna) plug and screw it down tight (if using threaded cables).

T he AutoLock™ feature receives and processes data sent by broadcasters or other program providers that contain program content advisories. When programmed by the viewer, a TV with AutoLock™ 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 programming children may watch.
In the AutoLock™ section, you’ll learn how to block channels and programming that is not rated, is unrated, or has no rating. You will also find out how to turn these blocking features ON or OFF. Following are brief explanations of some terms and ratings related to the AutoLock™ feature.
AutoLock™ offers various
Blocking Options from which to choose:
BLOCKING:
The BLOCKING control is what can be thought of as the
Òmaster switchÓ for AutoLockª.
This control affects the settings you have chosen for blocking programs according to movie ratings or TV ratings, or for blocking programs that have no rating or are unrated.
When the BLOCKING control is
OFF, the blocking or censoring of programs is disabled. When the
BLOCKING control is ON, blocking will occur according to the settings you have chosen.
BLOCK UNRATED: ALL unrated programs will be blocked if this feature is set to ON.
UNRATED programming is encoded with information from the MPAA
(Motion Picture Association of
America) or TV broadcasters, but it does not have a specific rating. In other words, the MPAA or the TV broadcasters have chosen not to assign a rating to the programming.
NO RATING: ALL programming with no content advisory data can be blocked if NO RATING is set to
ON.
Programming that has No Rating is not encoded with any rating information from the MPAA or the
Parental Guidelines. Any programming could fall into this category.
You also can block individual channels or block programming
based on ratings of the MPAA and
TV broadcasters. (See a description of the ratings on this page.)

P icture-In-Picture (PIP) is the showing of two pictures on the
TV screen at the same time (one main screen picture and one small picture, or PIP). For your ease and convenience, this TV has two separate inputs (ANTenna A and PIP
ANTenna B) for your homeÕs Antenna and/or Cable TV system signal.
The ANT A input is primarily for the
TVÕ s main screen picture. The PIP
ANT B input is provided as a second dedicated source option for the TVÕs
PIP ÒwindowÓ and its feature operations. The signal connected to the
PIP ANT B input can be either a split signal input (as described in the section on this page) or another type of external signal source (such as a satellite dish system, additional home antenna, video accessory, etc.).
See the following steps on how channels connected to the PIP ANT(enna)
B Input can be shown and used within the PIP window.
BEGIN
Connect your Antenna or
Cable TV signal to the single,
75-ohm input plug on a two-way signal splitter (not supplied).
Connect two lengths of RF coaxial cable (F-type connectors on both ends) to the two output plugs on the two-way signal splitter.
Connect the twin OUTPUT
plugs on the signal splitter to the
ANT A and PIP ANT B inputs on the rear of the TV.

ROUBLESHOOTING
CAUTION: A video source (such as a video game, compact disc interactive [CDI], or
TV information channel) that shows a constant nonmoving pattern on the TV screen can cause picture tube damage. When your TV is continuously used with such a source, the pattern of the nonmoving portion of the game (or other source) can leave a permanent image on the picture tube. When youÕre not using the video source, turn it OFF. Also, regularly alternate the use of such video sources with normal TV viewing.

Cleaning and Care
¥ To avoid possible shock hazard, be sure the TV is unplugged from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
¥ When you are cleaning the TV, 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.

Auto Programming ¥ The feature that, when activated, scans for all available channels from regular antenna or cable signals and stores only active broadcast stations in the TVÕs memory.
Channel Edit ¥ The feature that allows you to add or delete channels from the list of channels stored in the TVÕs memory.
Channel Edit makes it easy to limit or expand the number of channels that are available to you when you press the Channel
(+) or (Ð) buttons on your remote control.
Closed Captioning ¥ The broadcast standard feature that allows you to read the voice content of television programs on the TV screen. Designed to help the hearing impaired, Closed
Captioning uses onscreen Òtext boxesÓ to show dialogue and conversations while a TV program is in progress.
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.
Direct Audio/Video Inputs ¥ Connectors, located on the rear of the TV, used for the input of audio and video signals. These inputs are designed for use with VCRs (or other accessories) in order to receive higher picture resolution and offer sound-connection options.
Identify ¥ The method by which a TV remote control searches and finds an operating code for another product (such as a VCR or a cable converter). After the code has been Òidentified,Ó the
TV remote control can operate and send commands to the other product.

Programming ¥ The process of adding or deleting channel numbers into the televisionÕs memory circuits. Through programming, the TV ÒremembersÓ only the locally available or desired channel numbers and skips over any unwanted channel numbers.
Remote Control Sensor Window ¥ The window or opening found on the television control panel and through which infrared remote control command signals are received.
Second Audio Program (SAP) ¥ An additional audio channel provided for within the Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) broadcast standard. The most frequently proposed use for SAP is the simultaneous bilingual broadcast of TV material.
Status/Exit Button ¥ The remote-control function that allows you to quickly confirm what channel number is being viewed.
Status/Exit also can be used to clear the television of onscreen
displays or information (rather than waiting for the displays to
Òtime out,Ó or automatically disappear from the screen).
TwinÐlead Wire ¥ The more commonly used name for the twostrand, 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 TVs 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.
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.
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.
BEFORE REQUESTING SERVICE...
Please check your owner’s manual before requesting service.
Adjustments of the controls discussed there may save you a service call.

(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.
