Items Included with This TV
Features
Compact design with low weight
The unique Philips single-panel liquid-crystal-on-silicon (LCOS)
technology allows for a large screen TV with a very low depth
and low weight. This TV will find a place in any living room
without occupying a large area, and it can be easily handled by
two persons.
Philips Single-panel LCOS Imaging System
The Philips single-panel LCOS technology produces unmatched
high-resolution and flicker-free video with superb brightness.
This technology enables a large-screen-size TV with low weight
and shallow depth without any concerns for convergence or
image retention.
PixelPlus™
PixelPlus™ creates near high-definition (HD) performance
inside the TV on the basis of a regular input signal. By doubling
the number of lines and the number of pixels per line,
PixelPlus™ enhances both regular broadcasts and DVD input for
unparalleled sharpness and depth.
Digital Natural Motion™
Digital Natural Motion™ offers razor-sharp reproduction of
movement and motion. Its unique and highly advanced process-
ing calculates motion trajectories of moving picture elements. It
corrects jerky movement from both studio programs or movie
material.
ActiveControl™ Plus
Active Control™ Plus automatically analyzes the incoming sig-
nals from the Tuner, AV1, AV2, and Side video inputs 50 times
per second and adjusts key picture settings. In addition to meas-
uring picture noise, this feature uses an ambient light sensor to
adjust the picture settings according to viewing conditions in the
room.
Dolby* Virtual Surround
Dolby processing circuitry provides an enhanced cinema sur-
round sound effect without the need for rear speakers.
Double-window,Two-Tuner PIP
Your TV features double-window, two-tuner PIP with second
tuner double window. The TV also has single PIP (free position-
ing), as well as threefold and sixfold side PIPs. In addition, you

play back the previous few seconds in a PIP screen—if you
missed the action, replay it as much as you want.
Audio/Video (A/V) Jack Panel
The A/V jack panel allows direct connections with VCRs,
DVDs, high-definition receivers, or other devices, providing
quality TV picture and sound playback.
Audio Volume Leveler (AVL) Control
AVL keeps the TV sound at an even level. Peaks and valleys that
occur at commercial breaks or during program changes are
reduced, providing a more consistent, comfortable sound.
V-Chip (with Channel Lock)
The V-Chip feature (with Channel Lock) will allow you to block
the viewing of channels or programs with certain ratings, and thus
prevent your children from watching inappropriate materials.
Your new television and its packing contain materials that can
be recycled and reused. Specialized companies can recycle
your product to increase the amount of reusable materials and
minimize the amounts that need to be properly disposed of.
Your product also uses batteries that should not be thrown
away when depleted, but should be handed in and disposed of
as small chemical waste.
When you replace your existing equipment, please find out
about the local regulations regarding disposal of your old tel-
evision, batteries, and packing materials.
End-of-Life Disposal

The TV’s Autoprogram feature searches (when activated) for all
available channels from regular antenna or cable signals and
stores active broadcast stations in the TV’s memory.
Surf Button
Philips Auto Surf™ allows you to easily switch between only the
channels that are of interest to you. Surf allows two-channel
surfing or nine-channel surfing.

High-definition television offers a picture with unprecedented crispness and clarity. The TV broadcast industry is moving toward high definition as
the signal standard. Currently, the number of programs being broadcast in high definition is limited, but this is changing. To view high-definition programs on
your TV, you will need to connect a satellite receiver, cable box, or set-top box that can decode HD signals.
Resolution information
Image resolutions are commonly referred to by a num-
ber followed by a letter: 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i.
The number in each format refers to the number of lines
of resolution, so for example both 480i and 480p offer
480 lines of resolution. The "i" or "p" refers to whether
the signal is displayed using respectively interlaced or
progressive scan. Interlaced scan breaks each frame of
video into 2 fields, one made up of even lines and one
made up of odd lines. The image is reproduced by draw-
ing all odd lines first (1,3,5,…479) than all the even
ones (2,4,6,….,480). Progressive scan, on the other hand
reproduces an image by drawing all lines in succession
1,2,3,4,….480).

of uncompressed digital content. The DVI-D
jack used in this product is not for computer
connections.
Component Video Input Jacks
Cables used: component video with
RCA-type phono plugs
Allow you to connect accessory devices such
as DVD players. Separating the video into
three signals, these inputs provide excellent
quality. Be sure to connect the left and right
audio cables, because the Y, Pb, Pr jacks
receive only the picture signal.
NOTE: See the “Helpful Hint” on page 13
for more information.
S-Video Input Jacks
Cable used: S-Video
Provide a higher quality picture than the
Video (composite) jacks because the color
part of the picture is separated from the black
and white portion. Be sure to connect the left
and right audio cables, because the S-Video
jacks receive only the picture signal.

Input Jacks
Cable used:Video with RCA-type
phono plugs
Provide better picture performance than the
antenna RF input. Be sure to connect the audio
cables, because the video jacks receive only the
picture signal.
Your TV also has a monitor output (“MON
OUT”) video (“V”) jack. Use a video cable with
RCA-type phone plugs to make connections.
Tuner (RF) Input Jack
Cables used: RF coaxial cable (75Ω)
Allows you to connect an antenna, cable TV,
or components having RF outputs to the
antenna input on the TV. RF coaxial cables
are available in push-on or screw-on type.
Audio Input Jacks
Cables used:Audio with RCA-type phono
plugs
Provide sound for the video inputs. If your acces-
sory device has only one output for audio, connect
it to the left (color coded white) audio jack on the
TV.
Your TV also has monitor output (“MON OUT”)
audio (“L” and “R”) jacks and a subwoofer output
(“SUB OUT”) jack. Use an audio cable with RCA-
type phone plugs to make connections.

Intended use of the input: digital set-top boxes and
inputs from other digital video devices.
NOTE: This DVI jack is not for computer con-
nections. VGA cannot be connected.
Definitions:
NTSC—National Television System Committee.
CVBS—labeled “V,” provides a small step up in quality from the Tuner (RF) input. Called
Composite Video.
S-Video (Y/C)—provides better picture quality than CVBS. Separates the signal into color and
brightness.
YPbPr—provides the best quality video signal. Called Component Video Input, the signal is
split into three parts, two color and one brightness.

Pre-connection Recommendations
Positioning the TV
Before connecting accessory devices—VCR,
DVD player, or HD satellite receiver, for exam-
ple—please keep the following in mind:
• Place the TV on a flat surface. An unlevel sur-
face may adversely affect picture perform-
ance.
• Do not place the TV on shag carpet or any
surface that will block the ventilation open-
ings at the bottom of the set. Blockage will
cause the TV to overheat and shut down.
• Allow 4 to 6 inches of space behind the TV
for ventilation.
• An optional swivel and an optional stand are
available for use with your TV. See your elec-
tronics dealer.
• Test various locations in the room to find the
optimal spot to locate the set for best viewing.
• Do not place the TV in direct sunlight or near
a heating appliance.
• Do not expose the TV to rain or moisture.
• To prevent any unsafe situations, do not place
objects on top of the TV.
Providing Protection Against Power
Surges
• Connect all accessory devices before you
plug any of their power cords into the wall
outlet or power strip. NEVER plug your TV
into an outlet that is controlled by a wall
switch.
• Turn off the TV and/or accessory devices
before you connect or disconnect any cables.
• Ensure that all antennas and cables are prop-
erly grounded. See page 3, “Important Safety
Instructions.”
Protecting Accessory Devices from
Overheating
• Arrange accessory devices so that air can cir-
culate freely around them.
• Don’t stack the accessory devices. Arrange
them to allow for good ventilation. The
optional Philips stand provides enough room
for two accessory devices, side by side.
• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier,
place it on the top shelf so the heated air from
it will not flow around other components.
Connecting Cables
Be sure to insert each cable firmly into the cor-
rect jack.
Using the Connection Examples in
This Manual
The accessory device jack panels shown are for
example purpose only. The jack panels on your
accessory devices may look different. Also, note
that connections can be made in various ways.
The examples are presented only as guides.

• If you do not know whether your DVD
player is standard or progressive scan, you
can connect it to either AV3 or AV4, and the
TV will automatically determine the type of
output.
• To simplify making connections, the con-
nectors on audio and video cables are often
color coded to match the colors on TV
jacks: green for Y, blue for Pb, and red for
Pr; also red for right audio, and white for
left audio.
• The names for the component video jacks
may differ depending on the DVD player or
accessory digital source equipment used.
For example, besides YPbPr, you may see
R-Y/B-Y/Y; or CrCbY. Although abbrevia-
tions and terms may vary, the letters B and
R stand for the blue and red color compo-
nent signal connectors, respectively, and Y
indicates the luminance signal. If necessary,
refer to the user manual for your DVD or

• If you experience difficulties receiving
sound with a DVD disc, check the sound
settings through the DVD disc’s menu.

Philips testing has determined that com-
patibility issues exist with respect to a
limited number of high-definition
receivers when they are connected to the

Your TV remote control can operate accesso-
ry devices such as cable boxes, VCRs, DVD
players, satellite receivers, and amplifiers.
Normally, the remote is in TV mode. You
must press the Select button to switch the
remote to one of the accessory modes—CBL,
VCR, DVD, SAT, or AMP.
It is likely you will need to program you
remote, but, before you do, try this test:
• Press the Select button repeatedly until the
mode you desire lights up. When the light
begins blinking, point the remote toward
the accessory device, then press the
Standby–On button. If the device responds
you do not need to program the remote. If
not, follow the steps below to program the
remote.
1
Look up the number for the device on
the list below:
1 Cable (CBL)
2 VCR
3 DVD
4 Satellite (SAT)
5 Amplifier (AMP).
Look up the number for the manufac-
turer on pages 24–25.
2
Press the Select and Standby–On but-
tons at the same time, then release.
3
Press the number for the device fol-
lowed by the manufacturers code. The
green Standby-On light will blink,
indicating the code is valid. If the light
does not blink, start again at step 1
using another code (if available).

You can change the duration of the time-out
mode by simultaneously pressing the Select
button and a digit button, 1–4. Using digit 1
will set the time-out to 15 seconds; digit 2, 30
seconds; digit 3, 60 seconds; and digit 4, 120
seconds. The default time-out setting after
you replace the batteries in the remote is 60
seconds. All modes will have the same time-
out setting.

HECK IT OUT
If the remote control is in one of the acces-
sory modes (a mode light is flashing)—
CBL, VCR, DVD, SAT, AMP—and you
don’t press any of the remote buttons for
sixty seconds, a “time-out” occurs, returning
the remote to TV mode.
HELPFUL HINT
Now try to use the remote control with the
accessory device to see if it is correctly pro-
grammed.
4
Press the Select button on the remote
to select the type of device. When the
mode you desire lights up, stop press-
ing the button. When the light begins
blinking the remote is ready for use
with the device.
5
Press the Standby–On button. As long
as the light keeps blinking, you can use
the remote with the selected device.
Once the light disappears, the remote
is back in TV mode.
If the device does not respond to the
Standby–On command, repeat steps 1-
6 using a different code. If there are no
other for the type and brand of acces-
sory device, the remote likely will not
operate your particular model of acces-
sory device.
NOTE: Your TV remote is not necessarily
capable of operating all models of the brands
of accessory devices listed on pages 24–25.
You may want to try the programming
process again. Try using the number(s) that
are listed for your type and brand of device to
be sure you did not make a mistake in
inputting the digits during your first attempt
at programming.

AutoPicture™ Options
Personal settings are based on your personal
choice or viewer control preferences.
Rich emphasizes very vibrant colors. (This is
a good choice when AV mode is used in a
brightly lighted room.)
Natural sets picture controls at mid-level set-
tings for consistent viewing conditions.
Soft emphasizes warm colors. (This is a good
choice for dimly lighted room. It gives a cine-
ma-like effect when the light is switched off.)
NOTE: This option can also be used with the
PixelPlus™ control to soften the appearance
of harsh screen elements that can show with
certain types of DVD playback conditions.
See page 30 for information about
PixelPlus™.
Multimedia emphasizes soft colors. (This is
a good choice for playing computer games,
for example.)
B&W optimizes brightness and contrast set-
tings for viewing black and white programs.
Whether you’re watching a movie or playing
a video game, your TV has automatic video
control settings to match your current pro-
gram source or content. AutoPicture™ quick-
ly resets your TV’s video controls for a num-

home. The Personal AutoPicture™ settings
are the same as the Picture control adjust-
ments made within the on-screen menu.

The Digital Processing control gives you a
choice of different picture scanning modes.
Progressive Scan doubles the number of pic-
ture lines, eliminating line flicker and provid-
ing a jitter-free picture.
Movie Plus provides motion compensation to
increase clarity around moving images in the
picture.
PixelPlus improves the picture quality and
appearance of on-screen images. The number
of picture lines is increased along with the
number of pixels per line, giving normal
broadcast signals, DVD reproduction or
Digital TV signals, unparalleled sharpness
and depth. This gives the viewer near high-

The Color Enhancement control can improve
the picture quality of pictures with a high sat-
uration of color. This control works in four
ways:
Dynamic Blue Stretch corrects the white col-
ors toward a more bluish-colored white with-
out changing the other colors. Improves the
sharpness of the picture.
Green Enhancement offers a more saturated
green color in case of low green broadcasts,
giving landscapes a fresher and brighter look.
Color-dependent Sharpness improves the
sharpness of the picture through the color
information. Gives the picture more details,
especially in red colors.
Skin-tone Correction adjusts for over satura-
tion of red that often appears in skin tones.

Your TV’s wide screen (16:9 aspect ratio)
delivers a home-cinema experience that isn’t
possible with a conventional (4:3 aspect ratio)
set. The 16:9 format of high-definition (HD)
programs and other widescreen-format video
sources appear more lifelike, dramatic, and
theatrical. Black or gray bars are diminished
or eliminated. As the television industry
moves toward the high-definition format stan-
dard and more HD broadcasts become avail-
able, you will be able to see the broadcasts as
they were intended—in 16:9 format.
For flexibility in viewing conventional 4:3-
format video sources on your TV’s wide
screen, you have the options Automatic,”
“Super zoom,” “Panoramic,” “4:3,” “Movie
expand 14:9,” “Movie expand 16:9,” “16:9
subtitle,” or “Wide screen.”
NOTE: The Automatic picture format is
disabled for AV3–AV6.
Page 36 explains how to select a picture
format option.
Selecting a Picture Format Option
The term aspect ratio refers to the relation-
ship between the width and height of a TV
screen. Historically, TV screen width has
been 33 percent greater than its height,
amounting to a 4:3 aspect ratio. The width
of your widescreen TV, however, is nearly
80 percent greater than its height, which
means its aspect ratio is 16:9. This screen
corresponds well with the tendency of the
eyes to feel more comfortable with fields of
view and action planes that are horizontally
oriented. The wide screen is also propor-
tionally truer to the formats in which
movies are filmed and presented in theaters.
However, many widescreen DVDs will still
display black bars to preserve the true the-
atrical format.

be used for alternate languages if they
are being transmitted.
T-1, T-2, T-3, or T-4—Often used for a
channel guide, schedules, bulletin board
information for captioned programs, news,
weather information, or stock market
reports.
NOTES

information will turn on only when the
Mute button is pressed. Turns the Closed
Captioning information off when the TV
volume is restored.

remove the on-screen display
from the TV screen.
NOTES: • The captions do not always use correct spelling and grammar. • Not all TV programs

Your Cineos TV has a Double Window (DW) and a Picture-in-Picture
(PIP) mode in which it is possible to see a signal from another source with-
out interrupting the program/video that you are looking at.
When switching on DW or PIP mode we want you to be aware that the
color and picture settings of the left window (for DW) respectively of the
main screen (for PIP) are applicable to the full screen. This may result in
the fact that colors on the right window (for DW) or the small window (for
PIP) look different than when that signal is displayed on the main screen.
So for instance if a disc from a DVD player is playing in the right window
while you watch TV in the left window it may be that the colors of the
DVD player look different from when the DVD is playing full screen.

CLEANING THE TV
WARNING
To avoid possible shock hazard, be sure the
TV is unplugged from the electrical outlet
before cleaning.
Cleaning the Cabinet
• Regularly dust the TV cabinet with a dry,
nonscratching duster.
• Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a
soft, clean cloth.
• Occasionally vacuum the ventilation slots
on the back cover of the set. See the next
section on “Cleaning or Replacing the
Filters.”
• Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or
other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as
they might cause permanent marring of the
cabinet finish.
• The television contains plastic parts. DO
NOT use benzine, thinners, or other chemi-
cals to clean. DO NOT use insecticide or
other volatile substances nearby. DO NOT
allow the TV to come into contact for
extended periods of time with rubber or
vinyl products.
Be sure the TV is
unplugged before
cleaning it.
Use a nonscratching duster.
Wipe with even, easy, ver-
tical strokes.
Avoid wearing jewelry
that may scratch the TV.
Don’t use chemicals on or
near the TV.
Cleaning the Screen
• Use a soft dry cloth to wipe the screen. Use
even, easy, vertical strokes. Take care not

The Cineos TV has two filters that cover air
inlets on the bottom of the set. Maintaining a
free flow of air through the inlets is very impor-
tant. If the air filters become dirty, clogged, or
blocked, the temperature in the set will rise.
Should the heat level become too high due to
blockage, a sensor detects this, and a warning
message appears on screen alerting you to
check the air inlets for blockage. The message
will be displayed for 6 seconds. It reappears
every 15 minutes as long as the temperature
remains too high.
If the internal temperature of the TV rises to
high, a warning message alerts you that the TV
is shutting down. If the temperature remains at
this high level for 1 minute, the TV will enter
Standby mode. In Standby mode, the TV is off.
Be sure the TV is not placed on a surface (such
as a shag carpet) that will prevent the free flow
of air through the inlets, and periodically clean
or replace the filters as detailed in the following
instructions.
WARNING: Do not tip the TV when remov-
ing or installing the filters. This may result in
instability of the TV.
1
Place your fingers under one of the fil-
ter slots located at either bottom left or
right in back of the TV cabinet.
2
Grasp the filter and gently pull it
straight out.
3
Examine the filter for dust or other
contamination. If it is dirty, clean it
with a vacuum cleaner. DO NOT
WASH it. Replace the filter if vacuum-
ing does not sufficiently clean it.
To order replacement filters, call the
Philips Customer Care Center at
1-800-531-0039. The part number for
the Philips TV inlet filter assembly is
3135 037 51810.
WARNING:
DO NOT operate the TV without fil-
ters. This will cause serious damage to
the TV.
4
Turn the filter so that the arrow is
pointing toward the center of the TV.
Align the edges of the filter with the
slot track, then gently slide it all the
way back into the slot. A click sound
can be heard as the filter reaches the
correct position.

The Cineos TV uses a lamp with a limited
lifetime to illuminate the picture. A Lifetime
counter in the TV records the operating time
of the lamp. One hundred hours before the
lamp reaches the end of its life, a warning
message will appear on screen. This will
allow you to prepare to replace the lamp or
take action right away. The message will dis-
appear within 6 seconds. It will reappear each
time the TV is turned on until the lamp is
replaced.
To order a replacement lamp, call the
Philips Customer Care Center at
1-800-531-0039. A Philips associate will
be happy to assist you. The part number
for the Philips TV replacement lamp is
3122 438 71310.
Here are the steps for replacing the lamp:
1
Power off the TV. Unplug the TV.
2
The lamp door is located on the back
of the TV next to the power cord.
Gently slide the door completely to the
right to open.
CAUTION: The lamp gets extremely
hot. Allow a cool-down time before
removing the lamp.
3
Unscrew the thumb screws until they
are dangling.
4
Lift the handle out.
Continued on page 71.

Reset your Cineos TV
• Modern TVs are complicated systems which consist of multiple hardware and software subsystems which operate in conjunction
with each other. One consequence of the increasing complexity of televisions is that they often require some additional time to
fully power on or off as all of the subsystems must power up or down as well. Occasionally one of these subsystems may not
fully engage or disengage before an additional function is begun- for example pressing numerous buttons on the remote before the
set is fully powered up. In such cases, the set may appear to be frozen or non-responsive.
If you are experiencing unexpected behavior from your Cineos TV the first possible fix is to unplug the set from the outlet for a
minute or so. This will ensure that all subsystems are fully powered down. Then plug it back in after which the Cineos will restart
and perform internal diagnostics which should result in normal operation.
TV-related Checks
The TV won’t switch on.
• Make sure the power plug is plugged in.
• If you’re using the TV remote control to turn the TV on, be sure the remote is in TV mode. (pages *Q6, 24.)
• Plug something else in to be sure the wall outlet (or extension cord) is receiving power.
• The remote control could have a problem. See the troubleshooting section “Remote-related Checks” on page 70.
• Make sure the lamp door is not ajar. The TV is designed not to operate with the lamp door open. (pages *Q1, 68-69)
• If a red light is blinking on the front of the TV, the set has entered protection mode. If this happens it usually means you simply
need to reset the TV. Unplug the TV for 60 seconds. Then plug the TV in and try to switch it on. If the light is still blinking red,
call the Customer Care Center at 1-800-531-0039.
The TV switches off unexpectedly.
• If the lamp door is opened, the TV will shut down. The TV is designed not to operate when the lamp door is ajar.
• If a red light is blinking on the front of the TV, the set has entered protection mode. Unplug and plug the set back in a couple of
times and try to switch it on. If the problem persists, contact the Customer Care Center at 1-800-531-0039.
• The Sleeptimer may have been set to turn the TV off. Turn the TV back on if desired. (page 45)
The TV switches on unexpectedly.
• The On Timer may have been set. (page 46)
An on-screen message tells you that it is time to replace the lamp.
• The message appears on screen when the lamp has 100 hours of life left, and will reappear each time the TV is turned on until the
lamp is replaced. Prepare to replace the lamp or take action right away. (pages 70-72)
An on-screen message instructs you to check the air inlets for blockage.
• Check the air inlets and filters for blockage and clean or replace the air filters as necessary. (pages 68-69).
You have a picture but no sound.
• Make sure Mute is not on. (page *Q6)
• The TV speakers may be turned off. Make sure the Center Channel Amp Switch on the back of the TV is in the INT position.
(page 7)
*Q refers to the Quick Use and Setup Guide that came with your TV.

Troubleshooting
TV-related Checks (continued)
You have no picture.
• If you have made a connection to the TV’s Tuner jack be sure to use Autoprogram. (page *Q8).
• If you want to view materials from an accessory device (DVD player, VCR, or satellite receiver, for example) be sure you have
selected the input source to which you have connected the device—AV1, AV2, AV3, AV4, AV5, AV6, or Side. (pages *Q4, *Q6,
10–16, 18, 20)
• Make sure you have made connections correctly. (pages *Q3–5, 10–16, 18, 20)
You have no picture and no sound.
• If you see a blinking orange light on the front of the set, this means that the lamp needs to be replaced. (pages 70–72)
You see scrolling images.
• Make sure you have made connections correctly. (pages *Q3–5, 10–16, 18, 20)
The picture appears doubled or tripled.
• If you are using an antenna, be sure it is facing in the correct direction. Also, check to see if it may be receiving signals that are
being reflected off of mountains or buildings.
The picture shakes or is not clear.
• If you are using an antenna, make sure it is not broken or shorted, and make sure the antenna cable is connected properly and
securely.
• If you are using a VCR and selecting channels on the TV, make sure the TV/VCR mode on the VCR is set to TV.
The picture has no colors or colors are not correct.
• Make sure you have made connections correctly. (pages *Q3–5, 10–14, 16, 18)
• If you have connected accessory equipment, such as an HD satellite receiver, make sure the color setting on the accessory equip-
ment is correct. See the user manual for the HD satellite receiver.
The TV sound has an unusual quality.
• Check the TV’s Equalizer control to be sure it is set to the option you want. (page 33)
Remote-related Checks
The remote control does not work.
• Make sure nothing is blocking the path between the remote control and the TV or accessory device you want to operate.
• Make sure you point the remote directly at the TV or accessory device you want to operate.
• If you want to operate the TV, make sure the remote is in TV mode. If a green light is flashing the remote is in an accessory
mode, press the Select button once. If you want to operate an accessory device, program the remote to operate the device if nec-
essary and make sure the remote is in the appropriate mode for the device. (pages *Q6, 22–28)
• Make sure you have installed the batteries correctly. (page *Q6)
• The batteries could be dead. When the batteries in the remote run low, the remote will send a “Battery Low” command to the TV.
The TV will then display a message on the screen reminding you to replace the batteries as soon as possible.
• You may want to try taking the remote batteries out and then putting them back in. NOTE: After taking the batteries out, you
may need to reprogram the remote for use with accessory devices.
*Q refers to the Quick Use and Setup Guide that came with your TV.

Limited Warranty
WHO IS COVERED?
You must have proof of purchase to receive warranty service. A sales
receipt or other document showing that you purchased the product is
considered proof of purchase.
WHAT IS COVERED?
Warranty coverage begins the day you buy your product. For one year
thereafter (30 days for the TV screen), all parts will be repaired or
replaced, and labor and transportation are free. After one year from the
day of purchase, you pay for the replacement or repair of all parts and
for all labor and transportation charges.
All parts, including repaired and replaced parts, are covered only for
the original warranty period. When the warranty on the product
expires, the warranty on all replaced and repaired parts also expires.
WHAT IS EXCLUDED?
Your warranty does not cover:
• labor charges for installation or setup of the product, adjustment of
customer controls on the product, and installation or repair of
antenna systems outside of the product.
• product repair and/or part replacement because of misuse, acci-
dent, unauthorized repair or other cause not within the control of
Philips Consumer Electronics Company.
• reception problems caused by signal conditions or cable or antenna
systems outside the unit.
• a product that requires modification or adaptation to enable it to
operate in any country other than the country for which it was
designed, manufactured, approved and/or authorized, or repair of
products damaged by these modifications.
• incidental or consequential damages resulting from the product.
(Some states do not allow the exclusion of incidental or consequen-
tial damages, so the above exclusion may not apply to you. This
includes, but is not limited to, prerecorded material, whether copy-
righted or not copyrighted.)
• a product used for commercial or institutional purposes.
WHERE IS SERVICE AVAILABLE?
Warranty service is available in all countries where the product is offi-
cially distributed by Philips Consumer Electronics Company. In coun-
tries where Philips Consumer Electronics Company does not distribute
the product, the local Philips service organization will attempt to pro-
vide service (although there may be a delay if the appropriate spare
parts and technical manual(s) are not readily available).
MAKE SURE YOU KEEP...
Please keep your sales receipt or other document showing proof of
purchase. Attach it to this owner’s manual and keep both nearby.
Also keep the original box and packing material in case you need to
return your product.
BEFORE REQUESTING SERVICE...
Please check your owner’s manual before requesting service.
Adjustments of the controls discussed there may save you a service call.
TO GET WARRANTY SERVICE...
Repair must be performed by an authorized service center or a factory
service center. If you do not live near a factory service center, contact
your dealer. If your dealer is an authorized service center, he will
arrange repair. If your dealer is not an authorized service center, he
will direct you to the authorized service center engaged by him to
service the products he sells.

ranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Philips is
