Auto IntelliSense® Focus Automatically adjusts the picture convergence at the push of a key. After reviewing a special test pattern, optical sensors send position information to the controller, which then corrects the picture. Auto IntelliSense® Focus responds to the natural and man-made magnetic field conditions where the projection TV is located, so you always enjoy the best possible picture. 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 minimizes 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 connections, plus audio. Component Video Inputs support advanced video input--such as DVD video--for superb colour performance. Active ControlTMcontinuously measures and corrects all incoming signals with automatic digital noise reduction and auto sharpness to provide the best possible picture. Automatic Phosphor Aging Compensation (APACTM) 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 problem. 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 protection 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 lenticular 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 electronically separating the chroma (colour) and luminance (black and white) components of the TV signal, preventing cross-colour interference.

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 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. 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 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. 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.
