Energy Star® is a U.S. registered mark. Using products with the Energy Star® label can save energy. Saving energy reduces air pollution and IMPORTANT NOTE: This owner's manual is used with several different television models. Not all features (and drawings) discussed in this manual will necessarily match those found with your television set. This is normal and does not require that you contact your dealer or request service. WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR EXCESSIVE MOISTURE. MAKING BASIC TV CONNECTIONS BEST VIEWING 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. T he major benefit of this projection television is its large viewing screen. To see this large screen at its best, test various locations in the room to find the optimal spot for viewing. NOTE: Be sure to allow a free flow of air to and from the perforated back cover of the set. CABLES AND CONNECTORS I f you are new to making TV hookups, you may want to read this section. (The cables and connectors discussed are not supplied with your set. You can buy them at most stores that sell audio or video products. Or call our Customer Care Center at 1-800-531-0039.) This publication provides you with examples of basic connections. See pages 6­17 in the Directions for Use manual for more information on connections, along with connection examples. A 75-ohm coaxial cable connects signals from an antenna or a cable TV company to the antenna jack on the back of the TV. Coaxial cables use "F" connectors. A two-way signal splitter enables you to take a single antenna or cable TV signal and supply it to two different inputs. A 300- to 75-ohm twin-lead adapter accepts the antenna cables (called twin-lead wires) from an antenna, allowing you to connect the antenna signal to the TV. Video and audio cables with standard RCA lowers utility bills. (phono) connectors connect the video and audio jacks of accessory devices such as VCRs and DVD players to the jacks on the TV. To simplify making connections, the connectors are usually color coded. The jacks on your TV are likewise color coded to match the colors of the connectors. The coding is as follows: yellow for video (composite) and red and white for the right and left audio channels, respectively. Use an audio cable with a white connector when making mono, or nonstereo, connections. The connectors of video cables used to connect component video or RGB (high-resolution) jacks are often color coded red, green, and blue. Component video connections provide you with the highest possible color and picture resolution. An S-Video cable connects devices such as DVD players, VCRs, or camcorders to your TV. S-Video provides better picture performance than regular (composite) video connections. S-Video cables can be used only with S-Videocompatible accessory devices. You must also connect the left and right audio cables along with SVideo because the S-Video jack carries only the picture signal, not the sound. ANTENNA OR CABLE TV Coaxial Cable Lead-in from Cable TV Company Cable TV Company T his section shows you how to make a basic TV connection using a cable TV or antenna signal. If you have cable TV service, you'll simply connect the coaxial cable lead-in from the cable TV company to your TV. If you intend to connect a VHF/UHF antenna, you may need a 300- to 75-ohm adapter, which is not supplied with your TV. NOTE: You should be able to buy optional accessories such as a VHF/UHF antenna or a 300- to 75-ohm adapter at most stores that sell electronics. Or you can call our Customer Care Center at 1-800-531-0039. 1 ANTENNA IN 75 AMP SWITCH EXT INT Rear of TV + _ HD INPUT-AV 5 Coaxial Cable DVI CENTER CHANNEL AMP INPUT 1 2 Connect the Cable TV or antenna signal to the ANTENNA IN 75 jack on the rear of the TV. NOTE: If you are using an antenna with a round coaxial cable (75), then you are ready to connect to the back of the TV. If your antenna has a flat, twin-lead wire (300), you must first attach the antenna wires on a 300- to 75ohm adapter. Then push the round end of the adapter onto the ANTENNA IN 75 jack on the rear of the TV. Insert the TV's power plug into the wall power outlet.

FEATURES Philips HD Optics System answers the demand for extreme-resolution HD with cutting-edge processing and display technology, including micro-phosphor CRTs, hybrid projection lenses, first-surface mirrors, fine-pitched lenticular lenses, and a Philips wideband video amplifier. Auto IntelliSenseTM Focus automatically adjusts picture convergence at the push of a button. After reviewing a special test pattern, optical sensors send position information to the controller, which then corrects the pictures. Auto IntelliSenseTM Focus responds to the natural and man-made magnetic field conditions where the TV is located, so you will always enjoy the best possible picture. Automatic Phosphor Aging Compensation (APAC) works with the set's Automatic Format feature to prevent screen burn left by nonmoving images. Periodically, APAC automatically shifts your television picture in very small increments, but in increments large enough to blur image retention. APAC is like a screen saver for your TV. Active ControlTM continuously measures and corrects all incoming signals to provide the best picture settings. This feature provides a sharp and virtually noise-free picture any time, from any NTSC source. NTSC is the National Television Standards Committee format devised in the 1940s for TV broadcast analog video signals (525 lines: 30 Hz). Eye Fidelity gives you a choice between two different picturescanning techniques--progressive and interlaced. Progressive scan doubles the number of visible picture lines per field by displaying all picture frame lines at once, eliminating line flicker. The interlaced mode provides for a double vertical display (interlaced) of progressive scan, which reduces annoying motion artifacts. The Interlaced mode also helps smooth out jagged lines sometimes seen on curved and angled surfaces. Protective screen filter helps prevent accidental damage to the delicate front lenticular screen. This filter has been specifically formulated by Philips for HD displays to give the best possible picture and still protect your investment. High-definition component and (digital visual interface) DVI inputs support HD video input for superb color purity, crisp color detail, and reduced color noise. Included are inputs for Y, Pb, Pr, and horizontal and vertical sync, plus DVI. 3-D Y/C Digital Comb Filter (activated when using the tuner and composite inputs) processes the video with spatial and temporal filtering, virtually eliminating cross-color and cross-luminance interference, improving video resolution. This filter uses extensive memory to analyze complete video fields, significantly reducing "dot crawl," "hanging dots," and "barber pole artifacts" on the image. Double-window, two-tuner Picture-in-Picture (PIP) allows you to watch two shows, side by side. No VCR is necessary for tuning PIP pictures. Your set's two separate tuners let you select two shows and display both in windows of equal proportion. Virtual Dolby* Surround (referred to as DOLBY VIRTUAL in the onscreen submenu) uses two speakers to simulate the surround effect produced by a multichannel system. Incredible SurroundTM enhances stereo programs by making the sound broader and fuller. Center channel input, which has standard clip-on style speaker connectors, simplifies the connection of surround-sound equipment for optimal home-theater enjoyment. Since it contains the dialog information, the center channel is vitally important to the overall performance of any large screen in a home-theater system. 5 Home-cinema universal remote control operates your TV set and other devices that work by infrared remote control, such as VCRs, cable converter boxes, satellite receivers, and others. Note: You may need to program the remote to work with devices other than the TV. See pages 18­23. Hi-fi stereo system, including a built-in audio amplifier and a twin speaker system with 2-inch tweeters and 5-inch woofers. The system enables you to hear stereo sound or Second Audio Program (SAP) bilingual broadcasts when they are available. Audio/video jacks allow direct connections with VCRs and other accessories for quality TV picture and sound playback. Component video input jacks are provided for high-fidelity color and picture resolution when using digital video source material, such as a DVD. Audio Volume Leveler (AVL) control keeps the TV's 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. AutoChronTM automatically sets the right time of day and maintains it with digital precision through brownouts, power failures, and even Daylight Savings Time adjustments. AutoLockTM protects young children from objectionable programming with V-chip technology. AutoSoundTM 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 submenu. The three factory-set controls--Voice, Music, and Theatre--enable you to tailor the TV sound to enhance the particular programming you are watching. AutoSurfTM allows you to easily switch among only the channels that are of interest to you. You can program up to 10 channels into the TV's AutoSurfTM memory through the onscreen display. Channel Edit allows you to add or remove channels from the list of channels stored in the TV's memory. Channel Edit makes it easy to limit or expand the number of channels that are available to you when you press the CH +/­ buttons on your remote control. Closed Captioning allows you to read TV program dialog or voice conversations as onscreen text. Dynamic Contrast helps sharpen the picture quality by making the contrast between the dark and bright picture areas more noticeable as the image on screen changes.
