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) · 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.). · Remove batteries when the remote is not used for a long time. 2 43.50PP7445_DFU_Eng_69.indd 2 2005-01-20 10:09:41 AM Product Highlights See it as an eyewitness · · · · Progressive Scan ­ double the visible picture lines for better resolution 100Hz Digital Scan eliminates flicker and line jitter for stable picture HDTV Monitor ­ HDTV is the latest and best television signal available SaphlonTM Screen ­ better picture and scratch resistance Technology made simple · Active Control measures signal to produce best picture · APAC ­ Automatic Phosphor Aging Compensation Rich sound experience · Virtual Dolby®* Surround ­ surround sound without additional rear speakers 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! SaphlonTM Screen SaphlonTM 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. Auto IntelliSenseTM Focus Sensors in the TV scan a predefined test pattern and readjust the signal on the CRTs to assure that red, green and blue are well aligned. 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. Active Control and APAC, are trademarks of Philips Consumer Electronics North America.

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. Do not place the TV in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance. 15 cm 15 cm 15 cm Insert the aerial plug firmly into the ANTENNA IN 75 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. 75 ANTENNA IN 75 Socket on the rear of the TV Remove the cover of the battery compartment on the remote control.
