Safety Information

• No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on top of the TV or in the vicinity.

• Do not place your TV set under direct sunlight or heat.

• Leave at least 5 cm around each side of TV set to allow for proper ventilation.

• Avoid placing your set (e.g. near the window) where it is likely to be exposed to rain or water.

• No objects (such as vases) filled with liquids should be placed on top the TV so as to avoid dripping or splashing of liquids on the set.

Disconnect mains plug when:

• the red light below the TV screen is flashing continuously

• a bright white line is displayed across the screen

• cleaning the TV screen (never use abrasive cleaning agents; use a slightly damp chamois leather or soft cloth)

Product highlights

100Hz Digital Scan

Conventional TV creates a picture by scanning 50 times per second (50Hz). This frequency can be detected by the human eye in the form of a field flickering picture. 100Hz sets scan 100 times per second, eliminating the field flickering.

Progressive Scan

A picture frame consists of two fields: the field with the odd lines (field A) and the field with the even lines (field B). Instead of sending field A to the screen first, followed by field B, the fields A and B are written at one time. In one second, a full image is created using the maximum resolution. At this speed, the human eye perceives a sharper picture with no line structure.

HDTV Monitor

HDTV Display Capability (1080i). HDTV monitors enable you to view high-definition or enhanced-definition TV programming in the 1080i or 480p signal format. In order to do so, the TV must be connected via its component video or RGB inputs to a set-top box, which is set to operate in the DTV mode. A DTV signal must be present in your area and the set-top box must be tuned to the proper channel. An external over-the-air antenna may be required. Another option is HDTV broadcast satellite service. Stunning realism in both picture and sound are delivered!

Saphlon™ Screen

Saphlon™ Screen technology is built with materials and processes that deliver more brightness and picture contrast. It guards against most scratches and fingerprints and eliminates the glare associated with a separate protective screen.

Active Control

With over 3,000 picture adjustments per minute, this ‘proactive control system’ continuously analyzes incoming video signal qualities for Dynamic Noise Reduction and sharpness and then automatically corrects them to be like the settings you previously selected in the picture menu.

APAC

APAC is designed to minimize the effects of image retention from stationary images on the screen. Because both analog sources (cable

TV and DVD) and digital sources (HD and progressive scan DVD) have different aspect ratios (4:3, 16:9, 21:9, etc.), the picture on a digital television may have black bars on the sides or top and bottom. When black bars are detected in either the 4:3 or 16:9 viewing mode, APAC automatically shifts the television picture pixel-by-pixel, just enough to soften image retention. APAC works in both the analog and digital modes, so it provides excellent protection.

Installing the TV

The major benefit of this projection television is its large viewing screen. To see the large screen at its best, test various locations in the room to find the optimal spot for viewing.

Be sure to allow a minimum of 15 cm of space around the

TV.

To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet colour changes, and increased chance of set failure, do not place the TV where temperatures can become excessively hot – for example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance.

Magnetic fields, such as those of external speakers, may cause the picture to distort if the speakers are placed too close to the television. Move the magnetic field source away from the

TV until there is no picture distortion.

Insert the aerial plug firmly into the ANTENNA IN 75Ω socket at the rear of the set.

Insert the mains plug in the wall socket. Refer to the back of the TV set for the correct operation voltage. Consult your local dealer if your main supply is different. To prevent damaging the mains (AC) cord, which could cause hazard, do not place the TV on the cord.

Remove the cover of the battery compartment on the remote control. Insert the two batteries supplied (Type R6-1.5V).

The batteries supplied do not contain the heavy metals mercury and cadmium. Nevertheless, in many countries exhausted batteries may not be disposed of with your household waste. Please check on how to dispose of exhausted batteries according to local regulations.

See the battery caution statement on page 2.

Note: This remote control functions with TVs that use the RC5 signalling standard.

Switch the TV on: Press the mains power switch on the front of the TV. If the Standby key is lighted, press the CH +/– keys, digit keys or the Power key on the remote control. Or press the Standby or CHANNEL keys on the front of the TV.

Using Teletext (if provided)

Many TV channels broadcast information via teletext. Each channel that broadcasts teletext transmits a page with information on how to use its teletext system. Look for the teletext page with the main index (usually p. 100).

Depending on the TV channel, teletext is transmitted in different systems. The colours used in the options line correspond with the colour keys of your remote control.

About Teletext

Easy Text considerably reduces the waiting time (on condition that the teletext broadcast of the particular TV channel is received for at least half a minute) by:

• a direct selection of previous and following pages that are in transmission and of the pages referred to in the options line at the bottom of the teletext screen;

• a habit watcher list: frequently used pages are put automatically in a list of preferred pages so that they are immediately available;

• the precapturing of the page numbers referred to in the displayed page; and

• the precapturing of all the subpages.

Switching Teletext on and off

Press the b key to switch the teletext on.

The main index page appears on the screen together with two information lines at the top and one option line at the bottom of the screen.

Press the b key again to overlay the teletext page on the TV programme.

Press the b key once again to switch the teletext off.

Selecting a Teletext Page

With the digit keys

Enter the desired page number with the digit keys.

The page counter seeks the page or the page appears immediately when the page number has been stored in the memory.

A message appears when you have entered a nonexistent or incorrect page number. Page numbers beginning with 0 or 9 do not exist.

Connecting Peripheral Equipment

You can connect a wide range of video and audio equipment to your TV in various ways. This page and the next one provide an overview of signal compatibilities and the types of equipment you can connect to the sockets. Connection examples follow on subsequent pages. As necessary, also refer to the handbook for peripheral equipment.

Overview: Standard Inputs/Outputs

ANTENNA IN 75Ω socket

– compatible with the broadcast standard in your area. Use to connect radio-frequency (RF) signals from VHF/UHF antennas or a cable system.

YPbPr (component video input [CVI] sockets)

– compatible with 480i and 576i signals. Use to connect equipment having component video outputs, such as DVD players, laser-disc players, video-game players, satellite receivers or other equipment. Use the INPUT-AV 1 L(eft) and R(ight) AUDIO sockets for sound connections.

S-VIDEO (super video) socket

– compatible with 480i and 576i signals. Use to connect peripherals having Super VHS (S-VHS) outputs, such as

VCRs, DVD players, laser-disc players, video-game players, satellite receivers or other equipment.

VIDEO (composite) sockets

(INPUT-AV 1 and TV’s side socket panel [AV2])

– compatible with 480i signals. Use to connect peripherals having composite video outputs, such as VCRs, video-game players or other equipment.

AUDIO inputs (INPUT-AV 1 and TV’s side socket panel

[AV2])

– use to connect from the audio output sockets on VCRs,

DVDs or other peripherals.

MONITOR OUT (VIDEO/AUDIO)

– use to connect to a VCR to record programmes from the

TV. Or use the AUDIO outputs to connect to an audio hi-fi system.

Overview: High-definition Inputs

The AV3 socket allow you to connect digital equipment with

1080i/480p (60Hz) signal output.

AV3

– use to connect digital equipment with a 1080i/480p (60Hz) signal output, such as digital set-top boxes or DVD players with progressive-scan capability. You can connect equipment with YPbPr component video or RGB outputs to the AV3 sockets. H and V Sync connections may or may not be required for RGB connections. Use the AV3 L(eft) and

R(ight) AUDIO sockets for sound connections.

AV3 Digital High-definition Inputs

When you have digital equipment with 1080i or 480p signal output (60Hz), connect it to the AV3 inputs on your TV.

Examples of such equipment are digital set-top boxes and progressive-scan DVD players.

Connecting to AV3

Connect digital equipment with component video output (usually labeled Y-Pb-Pr) or with RGB output (phono-type connectors) to the AV3 inputs for video and audio left and right. Also connect to the H and V SYNC inputs on the TV if required for your digital equipment.

Note: The AV3 sockets are compatible with some digital equipment

having RGB outputs with “sync on green” or RGB with “separate H and V sync.” Output standards for digital equipment, however, may vary by manufacturer. No industry standards have been established for HD television RGB signal systems, timing, synchronization, and signal strengths. If the digital equipment you want to connect to your

TV offers both component video and RGB outputs, component video is the suggested connection to use. See the handbook for the digital equipment.

Notes regarding connecting to AV3:

• For connections to AV3, be sure the TV’s colour-space setting

matches the output (Y-Pb-Pr or RGB) of the digital equipment

you have connected to the AV3 inputs.

• See the handbook for the high-definition equipment.

• If you notice scrolling images, wrong colours or no colour, no picture or even combinations of these on your screen, check to see if the connections have been done properly.

Care, Cleaning and Tips

WARNING Concerning Stationary Images on the TV Screen:

Do not leave stationary or “letterbox” images on screen for extended periods of time. This can cause uneven picture-tube aging.

Normal use of the TV should involve the showing of pictures that contain constantly moving and changing images that fill the screen. Be careful not to leave nonmoving images on screen for extended periods of time or to display the same images on screen too frequently, because subtle ghost images can be left on the picture tubes. Avoid showing the same stationary images more than 15 percent of your total viewing in any one week. Sources of stationary images may be DVD discs, laser discs, video games, CD-i discs, videotapes, digital television boxes, broadcast channels, cable channels, satellite channels and others.

Here are some examples of stationary images (this is not an all-inclusive list; you may encounter others in your viewing):

• DVD menus – listings of DVD disc content.

• “Letterbox” black borders – black bars shown along the edges of the picture when a widescreen (16:9) movie is played on TV.

• Video-game images and scoreboards.

• Television station logos – present a problem if they are bright and stationary; moving or low-contrast graphics are less likely to cause uneven aging of the picture tube.

• Stock-market tickers – presented at the bottom of the TV screen.

• Shopping channel logos and pricing displays – bright and shown constantly or repeatedly in the same location on the TV screen.

All picture tubes age with use, with their light output diminishing over time. But by maintaining normal use—mixing television picture types – you will create conditions for the tubes to age at an even rate. The result will be a TV picture that is evenly bright over the entire screen.

Placement of the TV

• See page 4.

Cleaning

• To avoid possible shock hazard, be sure the TV is unplugged from the electrical outlet before cleaning.

• Regularly dust the TV with a dry, nonscratching duster to keep the TV clean.

• When cleaning the TV, take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface. Avoid wearing jewelry or using anything abrasive. Do not use household cleaners. 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 and a mild soap or detergent. Use a clean, dry cloth to dry the wiped surfaces.

• Occasionally vacuum the ventilation holes or slots in the back cover of the set.

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

Tips

• Do not shift or move the set around when it is switched on. Unevenness in colour in some parts of the screen may occur.

End-of-life Disposal of the TV

Philips is paying much attention to making its products environmentally friendly. Your new TV contains materials that can be recycled and reused. Specialised companies can dismantle your discarded TV at the end of its life, concentrating on the reusable materials and minimising the amount of materials to be disposed. Please be sure to dispose of your old TV according to local regulations.

Disposal of Exhausted Batteries

The batteries supplied do not contain the heavy metals mercury and cadmium. Nevertheless, in many countries exhausted batteries may not be disposed of with your household waste. Please ensure you dispose of exhausted batteries according to local regulations.

What to do

• Check that the batteries are installed correctly.

• Replace the batteries, if necessary.

• Clean the remote control and the remote-sensor window on the TV.

• Be no farther than 6 meters from the TV when using the remote control and aim the remote control toward the TV’s remote-sensor window.

• If the remote control still will not work, use the keys on the TV.

• Check that the TV’s power cord is plugged into the mains socket. If there is still no power, disconnect the plug. Wait for 60 seconds and reinsert the plug and then switch on the TV again.

• See if the outlet is controlled by a wall switch.

• If you are using an AC power strip, be sure the fuse on the power strip is not blown.

• Check the antenna connection at the rear of the TV to see if it is properly connected to the

TV input terminal.

• The broadcast station may be experiencing difficulty. Try another channel.

• Adjust the contrast and brightness settings or select another picture setting with the Smart

Picture key on the remote control.

• If using peripheral equipment through the A/V inputs, be sure it is properly connected.

• Be sure you have selected the correct signal source for viewing.

• If you are attempting to view a picture from a progressive-scan-capable DVD player connected to the AV3 sockets, be sure you have switched the DVD player to progressivescan mode.

• If you are using an HD receiver, be sure its output is set correctly (to HD or SD), based on the connection to the TV you have made.

• Increase the volume.

• Check that the TV is not muted; press the [ key on the remote control.

• When no signal is detected, the TV automatically switches off the sound. This is proper operation and does not indicate a malfunction.

• Check the transmission system’s sound settings on the set.

• Adjust the contrast and brightness setting or select another picture setting with the Smart

Picture key on the remote control.

• Check the transmission system’s colour settings on this set.

• Poor picture quality sometimes occurs when an S-VHS camera or camcorder has been connected to the side panel (AV2) of the TV when another peripheral is connected to AV1. In this case, switch off one of the other peripherals.

• Check the antenna connection.

• Switch off the TV by the mains power key. Wait for 20 minutes before switching on again.

• Be sure you have made connections correctly.

• If you have connected digital equipment to the AV3 socket, check the colour-space setting on the equipment or TV and change the setting on either if necessary.

• Check to be sure the TV is not placed too near speakers or magnetic objects.

• Adjust the TV’s convergence.

• This may be caused by electrical interference from appliances such as hair dryers or vacuum cleaners or other sources such as neon lights. Turn off the appliance or move the TV.

• High-rise building or hills may be obstructing reception. Try using a highly directional antenna to improve the picture.

• Switch the TV off immediately and consult a qualified service person.

NICAM sound distortion (crackling noise)

• This could be due to antenna siting or reflected signal.

• Switch over to “MONO” by pressing the key on the remote control.

If your problem is not solved, switch the TV off and then back on again once. Never attempt to repair a defective

TV yourself. Check with your dealer or call a TV technician.
