Help?
If this instruction manual does not give an answer or if ‘Tips’ do not solve your TV problem, you can call your
Local Philips Customer or Service Centre. See the supplied World-wide guarantee booklet.
Please, have the Model and Product number which you can find at the back of your television set or on the packaging, ready, before calling the Philips helpline.
Model: 30/42PF9946/93 Product No:
Care of the screen
Do not touch, push or rub or strike the screen with anything hard as this may scratch, mar or damage the screen permanently. Do not rub with dust clothes with chemical treatment. Do not touch the surface with bare hands or greasy cloth (some cosmetics are detrimental to the screen). Unplug the TV before cleaning the screen. When the surface becomes dusty, please wipe gently with absorbent cotton or other soft materials like chamois soaks. Do not use acetone, toluene and alcohol because they cause chemical damage.
Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Wipe off saliva or water drops as soon as possible. Their long time contact with the screen causes deformations and colour fading.
Warning concerning stationary images on the TV screen
A characteristic of Plasma Display Panels is that displaying the same image for a long time can cause a permanent after-image to remain on the screen. This is called phosphor burn in.
Normal use of the TV should involve the showing of pictures that contain constantly moving and changing images that fill the screen.
Preparation
& Wall mounting instructions/Table stand
According to the type of TV you’ve purchased a wall mount bracket and/or stand may be supplied. How to mount the supplied stand and/or wall mount bracket, see the supplied separate leaflet. Make sure that the wall mount is being fixed securely enough so that it meets safety standards.
The weight of the TV (excl. packaging) is about
18 kg (30PF9946); 42 kg (42PF9946).
Note: Other (not supplied) stands are optional accessories. Consult your dealer.
é Make sure that air can circulate freely through the ventilation slots.
To prevent any unsafe situations, no naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on or in the vicinity. Avoid heat, direct sunlight and exposure to rain or water.
The equipment shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.
“
‘
Insert the aerial plug firmly into the aerial socket x at the bottom of the TV. For best picture quality use the suppressor-aerial cable supplied.
Insert the mains cord supplied into the mains at the bottom of the TV and in the wall socket having a mains voltage of 160-276V.
To prevent damaging the power (AC) cord which could cause a fire or electric shock, do not place the TV on the cord.
