RECAUTIONS
Additional Safety Precautions:
• Do not shift or move the LCD TV around when it is powered on.
• Do not connect any AC/DC adapter to your LCD TV that does not originally come with the television. Only use the recommended part or parts that are approved by Philips Consumer Electronics.
• Caution: Do not use any cover or enclose the AC/DC adapter with any objects like a cloth or box which might shorten the life of the equipment.
• Do not touch, push or rub the surface of the LCD screen with any sharp or hard objects.
• When the surface of the LCD screen becomes dusty, wipe it gently with an absorbent cotton cloth or other soft material like chamois. DO NOT use acetone, toluene or alcohol to clean the surface of the screen. These chemicals will cause damage.
• Wipe off water, or saliva as soon as possible. Long exposer time to liquids can cause deformation and color fading of the LCD screen.
• Be careful of condensation when temperature changes occur. Condensation can cause damage to the LCD screen and electrically parts. After condensation fades, spots or blemishes will be present on the LCD screen.
Positioning the LCD Television:
• Place the LCD TV on a solid, sturdy base or stand. Be sure the stand is strong enough to handle the weight of the LCD TV.
• Try to leave at least 6” of space around each side of the LCD TV cabinet to allow for proper ventilation.
• Do not place the LCD TV near a radiator or other sources of heat.
• Do not place the LCD TV where it can be exposed to rain or excessive moisture.
Recycling Procedure/End of Life Disposal:
• To minimize harm to the environment, the batteries supplied with the LCD TV do not contain mercury or nickel cadmium. If possible, when disposing of batteries, use recycling means available in your area.
• The LCD TV uses materials that can be recycled. To minimize the amount of waste in the environment, check your area for companies that will recover used televisions for dismantling and collection of reusable materials, or contact your dealer for TV recycling tips.
• Please dispose of the carton and packing material through the proper waste disposal management in your area.
NOTE: It is possible that this owner's manual may be used with several different television models. Not all features (and drawings) discussed in this manual will necessarily match those found with your television system. While every effort is made to give the consumer the most accurate information possible regarding this product, normal changes in production could occur effecting the images and onscreen menu procedures outlined in this manual. This is normal and does not require you contacting your dealer or requesting service

DVDs, PCs or other devices, providing quality TV picture and sound playback.
Audio Volume Levele r (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.

AutoLock™ 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 TV’s memory.

AutoSound™ 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.
Closed Captioning allows the viewer to read TV program dialogue or voice conversations as onscreen text.
Infrared Remote Control works your TV and other remote-controlled devices, such as VCRs, DVD players, cable converters, and satellite receivers.
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 TV’s Surf control through the onscreen menu).

he AutoLock™ feature receives and T 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 “master switch” for AutoLock™. 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.
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.)

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 display 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. Sources of stationary images may be DVD disks, laser disks, video games, CD-i disks, 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 disk content
• Letterbox black bars — shown at the top and bottom of the
TV screen when a wide screen (16:9) movie is viewed on a
TV with standard (4:3) aspect ratio.
• 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.
P
LACEMENT OF THE
TV
• To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color 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.
• Be sure to allow a free flow of air to and from the perforated back cover of the set.
C
LEANING
• 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.
Do not use acetone, toluene, or alcohol to clean the screen.
• 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.
