SAFETY INFORMATION

• 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)

• a lightning storm is occurring

• the set is left unattended for a prolonged period.

Never attempt to repair a defective TV yourself. Always consult a skilled service person.

Battery Usage CAUTION :

To prevent battery leakage which may result in bodily injury or damage to the remote :

• Install ALL batteries correctly, + and – as marked on the remote control.

• Do not mix batteries : (OLD and NEW or CARBON and ALKALINE, etc.).

Thank you for purchasing this television set. You are now the proud owner of a Philips TV, which promises full value to

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS

Philips Consumer Electronics.

*Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. “Dolby” and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.

Philips HD Pix Optics System answers the demand for extreme resolution HD with cutting-edge processing and display tech-

nology, including microphosphor CRTs, hybrid projection lenses, first-surface mirrors, fine-pitched lenticular screens, and Philips

wideband amplifier.

100Hz Digital Scan eliminates picture flickering and line jitter, offering a stable picture for relaxed viewing (no eye strain). The

100Hz digital scan option can be selected in the onscreen menu.

Progressive Scan doubles the number of visible picture lines per field by displaying all picture frame lines at once. This mini-

mizes the visibility of the scan lines. The progressive scan option can be selected in the onscreen menu.

High-definition Inputs allow you to connect digital equipment with 1080i and 480p signals for 60Hz and 576p signals for 50Hz. The

AV4 sockets are for YPbPr or RGB+HV sync connections, plus audio. The AV5 sockets are for RGB (or YPbPr with adaptor) DB15 con-

nections, plus audio.

Component Video Inputs support advanced video input—such as DVD video—for superb colour performance.

Active Control™continuously measures and corrects all incoming signals with automatic digital noise reduction and auto sharp-

ness to provide the best possible picture.

Automatic Phosphor Aging Compensation (APAC™) functions like a screen saver for your TV. Nonmoving images

can be bad for a television screen. If a video image remains stationary, it can eventually leave a permanent after-image. Video games

and the stationary black bars around some movies are examples of sources of concern. Philips APAC technology addresses this prob-

lem. Periodically, APAC automatically shifts your television picture in increments that are very small and yet large enough to blur

image retention that can lead to screen burn. Coupled with the Philips Auto Screen Format feature, APAC helps provide you protec-

tion from the dreaded screen burn.

Protective Screen Filter (if provided; availability varies) gives the best possible picture while still protecting your investment.

Specifically formulated by Philips for HD displays, this protective screen filter helps prevent accidental damage to the delicate front lenticu-

lar screen.

Dolby* Virtual Surround

uses two speakers to simulate the surround effect produced by a multichannel system.

Digital Comb Filter makes the finest colour details purer and sharper. It eliminates disturbing cross-colour (Moiré) effects

between different colours that you normally see with striped clothing worn on camera. The digital comb filter works by electronical-

ly separating the chroma (colour) and luminance (black and white) components of the TV signal, preventing cross-colour interfer-

ence.

INSTALLING THE TV

direct

sunlight or

near a heat-

ing appliance.

Mains Power

1The major benefit of this projection tel-

evision is its large viewing screen. To

see the large screen at its best, test vari-

ous 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 color

changes, and increased chance of set

failure, do not place the TV where tem-

peratures can become excessively

hot—for example, in direct sunlight or

near a heating appliance.

Magnetic fields, such as those of exter-

nal speakers, may cause the picture to

distort if the speakers are placed too

close to the television. Move the mag-

netic field source away from the TV

until there is no picture distortion.

2Insert the aerial plug firmly into the

ANTENNA IN 75Ωsocket at the rear

of the set.

3Insert the mains plug in the wall sock-

et. 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.

4Remove the cover of the battery com-

partment on the remote control. Insert

the two batteries supplied

(Type R6-1.5V).

The batteries supplied do not contain

the heavy metals mercury and cadmi-

um. Nevertheless, in many countries

exhausted batteries may not be dis-

posed 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.

5Switch 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 Standby
