1 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this television set.

This manual contains all information you will

need to initially install and operate your new

TV.

If this instruction manual does not

give an answer to your problem or

if the troubleshooting page does not solve

your TV problem, you can call your Local

Philips Customer or Service Centre. See the

supplied Worldwide guarantee booklet for

details. Please have the Model and Product

number (which you can find at the back or

the bottom of your television set or on the

packaging) ready, before calling the Philips

customer support service.

1.1 Important information

1.1.1 Stationsary images on the TV

screen

A characteristic of LCD and Plasma Panels

is that displaying the same image for a long

time can cause a permanent after-image to

remain on the screen. This is called

phosphor burn in. Normal use of the TV

should involve the showing of pictures

that contain constantly moving and changing

images that fill the screen.

Examples of stationsary images (this is not

an all inclusive list, you may encounter

others in your viewing).

• TV and DVD menus: listings of DVD

disk content.

• Black bars: when black bars appear at

the left and right side of the screen, it is

recommended to change to a picture

format so that the picture fills the entire

screen;

• TV channel logo: present a problem if

they are bright and stationsary. Moving

or low-contrast graphics are less likely

to cause uneven aging of the screen;

• Stock market stickers: 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.

• Examples of still pictures also include

logos, computer images, time display,

teletext and images displayed in 4:3

mode, static images or characters, etc.

Tip:

Reduce contrast and brightness when

viewing.

1.1.2 Electric, Magnetic and

Electromagnetic Fields (“EMF”)

• Royal Philips manufactures and sells many

products targeted at consumers, which,

like any electronic apparatus, in general

have the ability to emit and receive

electromagnetic signals.

• One of Philips’ leading Business

Principles is to take all necessary health

and safety measures for our products, to

comply with all applicable legal

requirements and to stay well within the

EMF standards applicable at the time of

producing the products.

• Philips is committed to develop, produce

and market products that cause no

adverse health effects.

• Philips confirms that if its products are

handled properly for their intended use,

they are safe to use according to scientific

evidence available today.

• Philips plays an active role in the

development of international EMF and

safety standards, enabling Philips to

anticipate further developments in

standardisation for early integration in its

products.

1.2 What is digital TV?

Digital Television offers a far wider choice

of TV viewing, free from the interference

that you may experience on analogue TV.

It promises to transform television viewing

into a new whole experience. There is a

greater selection of widescreen programmes.

Many of your favourite programmes are

in widescreen on the digital channels

- something the analogue TV cannot do

properly.

There is new whole experience of

interactivity on digital TV. By using your

remote control, you can access all kinds

of information like the digital text which

is much clearer than the old teletext

system. It gives you the added enjoyment of

related information running alongside the

programme you are watching. You can also

access an Electronic Programme Guide that

provides you with a quick and easy way to

view a complete list of digital programmes as

you would in a newspaper or TV magazine.

1.3 Digital or Analogue channels?

When the television is powered on for the

first time, it will always be in Digital mode.

Use the

key of the remote control to

switch the TV between analogue and digital

mode. Use the P + / – or to

keys to select channels.

Note

• Chapters 6 to 19 contain all the

information you need to operate your

TV in the Digital mode. Chapters 20

to 29 contain all the information and

instructions you need to operate your

TV in the Analogue mode.
