BEST VIEWING
T
he major benefit of this projection television is its large view-
ing 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 per-
forated back cover of the set.
To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes,
and increased chance of set failure, do not place
the TVwhere temperatures can become excessively
hot—for example, in direct sunlight or near a
heating appliance.
Magnetic fields, such as those of external speak-
ers, may cause the picture to distort if the speak-
ers are placed too close to the television. Move
the magnetic field source away from the TVuntil
there is no picture distortion.

FEATURES
Your new projection television and its packaging contain materials
that can be recycled and reused. Specialized companies can recy-
cle your product to increase the amount of reusable materials and
minimize the amounts that need to be properly disposed. The bat-
teries used by your product should not be thrown away when
depleted but should be handed in and disposed of as small chemi-
cal waste. Please find out about the local regulations concerning
how to dispose of your old television, batteries, and packaging
materials whenever it is time to replace them.
End-of-life Disposal
Active Control™ 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 for-
mat devised in the 1940s for TV broadcast analog video signals
(525 lines: 30 Hz).
Alternate Channel (A/CH) button allows you to switch back and
forth between the currently viewed channel and the previously
viewed channel.
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.
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.
AutoChron™ automatically sets the right time of day and main-
tains it with digital precision through brownouts, power failures,
and even Daylight Savings Time adjustments.
AutoLock™ protects young children from objectionable program-
ming with V-chip technology.
Automatic Format automatically detects the incoming signal’s
format and adjusts it to fill the screen. Also, your remote control
has a Format button that allows you to select the picture format
you want to see.
AutoPicture™ allows you to push a button and adapt your TV’s
picture to various types of programs, such as sports, movies, and
multimedia (games).
AutoSound™ allows you to select from three factory-set controls
and a personal control that you set according to your own prefer-
ences through the on-screen 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.
AutoSurf™ 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 AutoSurf™ memory through the on-screen display.
Closed Captioning allows you to read TV program dialog or
voice conversations as on-screen text.
Virtual Dolby* Surround (referred to as “Dolby Virtual” in the
on-screen submenu) uses two speakers to simulate the surround
effect produced by a multichannel system.
Dynamic Contrast helps you sharpen the picture quality by mak-
ing the contrast between the dark and bright picture areas more
noticeable as the image on screen changes.
Eye Fidelity gives you a choice between two different picture-
scanning 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 inter-
laced 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.
HD DVI and Component Inputs—DVI supports High-definition
Copy Protected digital video input for connection to compliant set-
top boxes. The component connection (Y Pb Pr or RGB +HV)
offers color purity, crisp color detail, and reduced color noise.
Hi-fi stereo system, including a built-in audio amplifier and a twin
speaker system. The system enables you to hear stereo sound or
Second Audio Program (SAP) bilingual broadcasts when they are
available.
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 18–23.
Incredible Surround™ enhances stereo programs by making the
sound broader and fuller.
Multipoint Digital Convergence (35 point) brings the accuracy of
digital technology for flawless convergence of red, green, and blue
tubes. This allows the viewer to adjust as preferred to create a
superb picture with minimized colored haloes.
On-screen menu shows the TV controls and allows you adjust or
set those controls (can be viewed in American English, French, or
Spanish).
Program List displays a list of your favorite channels at the press
of a button. You can scroll through the list, highlight a favorite
channel, and tune to the channel.
Protective screen filter helps prevent accidental damage to the del-
icate front lenticular screen. This protective filter has been formulat-
ed for HD displays to give the best picture and still protect your
investment.
Sleep Timer automatically turns the TV off after a set amount of
time of your choice.
Standard broadcast (VHF/UHF) or cable TV (CATV) channel
capability, as well as advanced capability for high-definition video.
Three-line digital comb filter provides improved chroma/lumi-
nance separation to the picture. Offering vertical-edge enhancement
and virtually no “dot crawl,” this filter easily supports the demands
of DVD players and other advanced high-resolution video sources.
Two-tuner Picture-in-picture (PIP) allows you to tune to a pro-
gram in the main window and scan other channels in the PIP win-
dow. From a single antenna or cable input, signals are separated
into two signals within the television, so no external splitter is
required for PIP. The AV1, AV2, and AV3 inputs are also available
as PIP sources.

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.
Video (called composite) Jacks
Cable used:A/V with RCA-type phono
plug
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.
Audio Jacks
Cables used:A/V with RCA-type
phono plug
Provide sound for the video inputs. If your
accessory device has only one output for audio,
connect it to the left (color coded white) audio
jack on the TV.
Antenna RF Jack
Cables used: RF coaxial cable (75Ω)
Allows you to connect an antenna, cable TV, or
components having only RF outputs to the
antenna input on the TV. RF coaxial cables are
available in push-on or screw-on type.
Signal Splitter
Allows you to route an antenna or cable TV
signal to two inputs.
300- to 75-ohm Twin-lead Adapter
Accepts twin-lead wires from an antenna and
allows connection to the antenna input on the
TV. If your antenna is already equipped with
an RF coaxial cable, you will not need this
adapter.

• Signals connected to the HD INPUT-AV 4
or HD INPUT-AV 5 inputs will provide
you with the best picture. Examples of
sources for such signals are a progressive-
scan DVD player (480p) or an HD receiver
(1080i or 480p) with YPbPr or RGB out-
puts. The 1080i signals will provide you
with the best picture possible. Devices with
RGB outputs may or may not have H and
V sync outputs to connect to the HD
INPUT-AV 4 H and V SYNC inputs (see
page 57). Instructions for selecting the
HD INPUT-AV 4 and AV 5 color space
(YPbPr or RGB) are on page 59.
• Among the 480i-compatible inputs
(ANTENNA IN 75Ω, INPUTAV-1,
INPUT AV-2, and the side jack panel), you
will get the best picture from the compo-
nent video inputs (labeled YPbPr). The
S-Video inputs will provide the next-best
level of picture quality.
HELPFUL HINTS
The side jack-panel inputs (recognized by the
TV as AV3) are convenient for connecting a
camcorder. See page 16.

What You Can Connect to the
High-definition Input Jacks
1
HD INPUT-AV 4—use to connect dig-
ital equipment with a 1080i or a 480p
signal output, such as HD receivers
(1080i or 480p) or DVD players with
progressive-scan capability (480p). You
can connect equipment with YPbPr
component video or RGB outputs to
the HD INPUT-AV 4 jacks. H and V
sync connections may or may not be
required for RGB connections. (See
page 59.) Dedicated audio input jacks
are located with the HD INPUT-AV 4
video jacks.
NOTE: The Picture-in-Picture (PIP)
feature is not available for use with AV 4.
2
HD INPUT-AV 5—use to connect digi-
tal equipment with DVI (digital video
interface) 1080i or 480p output. DVI is
a specific digital input allowing
encrypted transmission of uncom-
pressed HD content. DVI includes
HDCP (high-bandwidth digital content
protection), which is supported by the
motion picture industry, satellite
providers, and most of the consumer
electronics industry. DVI is gaining
momentum and quickly becoming an
industry standard for the consumer to
view high-definition material while
keeping content protected.
NOTE: The Picture-in-Picture (PIP)
feature is not available for use with AV5.
• The TV’s default color-space setting for HD
INPUT-AV 4 is YPbPr. If the picture looks
grossly incorrect, try changing the color-space
setting on either the digital equipment or the
TV. For more information on setting the color
space on the digital equipment, see the equip-
ment’s directions-for-use manual. To set the
TV’s color space, see page 59 in this manual.
• This television is designed to be compatible
with high-definition signal standards 1080i
and 480p as specified by the Electronic
Industries Association standard EIA770.3.
Because output standards may vary by manu-
facturer, you may encounter some digital
equipment that will not properly display pic-
tures on the TV.
• The PIP (Picture-in-picture) feature
allows
you to tune to a program in the main window
and scan other channels in the PIP window.
From a single antenna or cable input, signals
are separated into two signals within the tele-
vision. The AV1, AV2, and AV3 inputs are
also available as PIP sources.

CONNECTING A VCR
• Stereo sound will pass from the ANT
OUT jack on the VCR to the ANTENNA
IN 75Ω jack on the TV only when the
VCR is in TV mode. This is the mode
that allows the TV to use its channel
selector.
• To simplify making connections, audio
and video cables often have color-coded
plugs. The jacks on your TV are likewise
color coded to match the plugs. The cod-
ing is as follows:
—Yellow for video (composite)
—Red for the right audio channel
—White for the left audio channel
NOTE: If your VCR is mono (non-
stereo), you will connect only one audio
cable. You must ensure that the TV is set
to MONO for the signal source to which
you’ve connected the VCR (
INPUT-AV
2,
INPUT-AV 1, or the side panel inputs
[AV3]). Otherwise, you will receive
sound from only one of the TV’s speakers.

omponent video inputs allow the highest pos-
sible color and picture resolution in the play-
back of digital signals, such as those of DVD
players. The color difference signals (Pb, Pr) and
the luminance (Y) signal are connected and
received separately. The result is better color
bandwidth information than is possible with com-
posite video (labeled VIDEO on your TV’s jack
panel) or S-Video connections.
To make the connections shown in this example,
you will need:
• three cables for video connections (standard
RCA-type phono plugs)
• two cables for audio connections (standard
RCA-type phono plugs).
NOTE: The cables are not supplied with your TV.
You should be able to buy them at most stores
that sell electronics. Or you can call our
Customer Care Center at 1-800-531-0039.

nent video) jacks on the back of the TV.
NOTE: The INPUT-AV 1 YPbPr jacks
will accept 480i (interlaced) output sig-
nals only. The connection example on this
page assumes the use of a DVD player
with interlaced output. Some DVD play-
ers, however, have YPbPr outputs that can
be switched between interlaced and pro-
gressive scan. If you are attempting to use
a DVD player with progressive-scan
(480p output) capability to make the con-

CVI
• To simplify making connections, the plugs on
audio and video cables are often color coded.
The jacks on your TV are likewise color
coded to match the plugs.
• 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 component
signals, respectively, and Y indicates the lumi-
nance signal. If necessary, refer to the direc-
tions-for-use manual for your DVD or digital
accessory for more information.
• You can also connect a satellite receiver to the
TV in a manner similar to the example shown
on this page. If you connect a satellite receiver
to the TV, you will need to use the receiver’s
channel-memorization system to store chan-
nels in the receiver’s memory.
• If you experience difficulties receiving sound
with a DVD disc, check the sound settings
through the DVD disc’s menu.
• The CVI source cannot be displayed in the
PIP window. See page 7 in the Quick Use and
Setup Guide for more on the PIP feature.

• If after connecting your DVD player your
display is filled with wavy lines, it may be
that your DVD player is not set to progres-
sive-scan mode. Some DVD players have an
I/P (interlaced/progressive scan) switch
located on the back or front of the players for
changing from interlaced to progressive-scan
mode. Other DVD players may allow the
mode to be changed by pressing a button on
the DVD player’s remote control or by using
the DVD player’s on-screen menu. If the
interlaced/progressive-scan selection
option is provided only through the DVD
on-screen menu, you will need to connect
the DVD player to anotherAV input
source in addition to HD INPUT-AV 4 to
see the DVD menu. Select this additional
AV source on screen to see the DVD menu
and choose progressive-scan mode. You
will then be able to see the DVD picture
through the AV4 source.
• Some DVD players have dedicated progres-
sive-scan output jacks that are labeled as
such and require no switching to provide a
picture through the HD INPUT-AV 4 jacks.
See your DVD player’s directions-for-use
manual for information.
• The default color-space setting for the
HD INPUT-AV 4 jacks is YPbPr. RGB is
also an option. If the picture’s color looks
grossly incorrect, try changing either the
DVD player’s or TV’s color-space setting.
See the DVD player’s directions-for-use
manual for information on setting its color
space. Or see page 59 in this manual to set
the TV’s color space.
• The Picture-in-Picture (PIP) feature does
not function with AV4 or AV5.

he S(uper)-Video connection on the back
(and side panel) of the TV can give you better
picture detail and clarity for the playback of S-
VHS VCR tapes or DVDs than the normal anten-
na (RF signal) or Video (composite) picture con-
nections. The example given connects a
DVD/VCR Combi unit to the INPUT-AV 2 jacks
on the back of the TV.
NOTE: The accessory device must have an
S-VIDEO output jack to make the connection
explained on this page.
To make the connections, you will need:
• one S-Video cable
• two cables for audio connections (standard
RCA-type phono plugs).
NOTE: The cables are not supplied with your TV.
You should be able to buy them at most stores
that sell electronics. Or you can call our
Customer Care Center at 1-800-531-0039.
1
Connect the S-VIDEO OUT jack on the
back of the accessory device with
S-VIDEO output to the INPUT-AV 2
S-VIDEO jack on the back of the TV.
2
Connect the DVD/VCR AUDIO OUT
jacks on the back of the accessory
device to the INPUT-AV 2 AUDIO input
jacks on the back of the TV.
3
Press the AV button on the remote con-
trol as many times as necessary to select
the AV2 source on the TV.
4
Turn the accessory device on and press
play to view the video source material
(DVD or videotape, for example) on
the TV.
CONNECTING AN S-V
IDEO DEVICE
• To simplify making connections, audio
cables are often color coded: red for the
right channel, and white for the left chan-
nel. The jacks on your TV are likewise
color coded to match the plugs. To make
S-Video connections, you must use an
S-Video cable.
• You can also connect a satellite receiver,
laser-disc player, video-game player, or
other accessory device with S-Video
capability to the TV in a manner similar
to the example shown on this page.
• If you connect a satellite receiver to the
TV, you will need to use the receiver’s
channel-memorization system to store
channels in the receiver’s memory.
HELPFUL HINTS
Video sources that show a constant non-mov-
ing pattern on the TV screen can cause pic-
ture-tube damage. When you are not using
your video accessory devices, turn them off.
Also, regularly alternate the use of accessory
video sources with normal TV viewing. See
page 60.

CONNECTING AN HD R
ECEIVER TO THE HD INPUT-AV 4 JACKS
• HD receivers will supply stereo sound to the TV only through the audio
left and right cables, not through the coaxial cable.
• Making a standard connection along with the HD connection as shown
in the example (S-VIDEO) on this page will allow you to see the receiv-
er’s on-screen menu and a picture (valid signal) from the receiver should
it be switched to SD mode.
• The HD INPUT-AV 4 jacks are for standard RCA-type phono plugs.
Your HD receiver may use RCA or BNC output jacks. If your HD
receiver comes with BNC jacks, you will need to purchase BNC-to-
RCA adapters to connect the receiver to the TV. You should be able to
purchase these adapters at most stores that sell electronics. Or you can
call our Customer Care Center at 1-800-531-0039.
• The HD INPUT-AV 4 jacks are compatible with some digital equipment
having RGB outputs with “sync on green” or RGB with “separate H and V
sync.” Output standards for digital equipment, however, may vary by manu-
facturer. No industry standards have been established for HD television RGB
signal systems, timing, synchronization, and signal strengths. If the digital
equipment you want to connect to your TV offers both component video and
RGB outputs, component video is the suggested connection to use.
• The default color-space setting for the HD INPUT-AV 4 jacks is YPbPr.
RGB is also an option. If the picture color looks grossly incorrect, try
changing either the receiver’s or TV’s color space. See the receiver’s
directions-for-use manual for information on setting its color space. Or
see page 59 in this manual for setting the TV’s AV4 color space.
• AV4 and AV5 do not function with the PIP feature. They cannot be dis-
played in the PIP window, nor can the PIP window be displayed when
those signal sources are being viewed on the main screen.

PROGRAMMING THE
TV REMOTE TO WORK ACCESSORY DEVICES
Y
our TV remote is capable of working not
only your TV but also other infrared
remote (IR) controlled accessory devices
such as VCRs, cable TV converter boxes,
satellite receivers, DVD players, and laser-
disc players.
If you want to use your TV remote to oper-
ate a VCR or other accessory devices, you
will need to perform the initial check
explained in this section. You may also need
to go to the sections on the “Code-entry
Method” and the “Search Method” in the
pages that follow.
1
Press the VCR or ACC(essory)
mode button on the TV remote for
the desired product category.
NOTE: Pressing the VCR mode button
allows access to product codes for

button allows access to the product
codes for cable TV converters, satellite
receivers, DVD players, and laser-disc
players.
2
Point the TV remote toward the
desired accessory device and press
the POWER button.
Does the remote turn the accessory
device on?
If yes, stop and try other function but-
tons on the TV remote. With a VCR,
for example, try the Play, Stop, and
Rewind buttons, for example. (See
page 23 for information on how the
remote buttons correspond with acces-
sory device functions.) If they also
work the accessory device, then the
remote is ready and no further steps
are needed.
If not, do the following:
Look up a four-digit remote code
number on pages 21 or 22 for your
brand of accessory device. Then go
through the simple steps for entering a
four-digit code as explained on
page 19.

USING THE CODE-ENTRY METHOD TO PROGRAM YOUR TV REMOTE
N
ow that you have looked up the four-
digit remote-control Direct-entry Code
for your brand of accessory device, you are
ready to follow the simple steps shown below
to program your TV remote.
Please read through all the steps before
beginning.
1
First, press and hold down the VCR
or ACC (for an accessory device
other than a VCR) mode button on
the TV remote. Then press and hold
down the MENU/SELECT button at
the same time for a brief moment.
Release the buttons. The TV remote

3
Point the remote at the accessory
device. Then press the POWER button
on the remote to turn the device on.
Using the Remote Control
• If you do not enter a complete code within
30 seconds, you will need to perform step
1 of the Code-entry Method again.
• If you enter more than four digits, the unit
will retain the first four digits entered.
• If the procedure explained above does not
work the first time, repeat the steps using
the same remote code number.
• If after a second try the remote does not
operate your accessory device, and more
code numbers are listed for your brand,
use the next listed code number.
• If after repeated attempts the Entry-code
Method does not allow you to work your
accessory device with your TV remote, try
the Search Method explained on the next
page.

USING THE S
EARCH METHOD TO PROGRAM YOUR TV REMOTE
Y
our TV remote can be set to work various
accessory devices (VCRs, cable convert-
ers, and satellite receivers, for example) by
what is called the Search Method.
NOTE: The Search Method works only with
devices equipped with channel-display indi-
cators on the devices themselves or the abili-
ty to show channel numbers on the TV
screen. If the Code-entry Method (shown in
the previous section) did not enable your TV
remote to work your accessory device, then
follow the easy steps listed below. Please
read the steps once before performing them.
1
Turn on the desired device. Press
and hold down the VCR orACC
(for an accessory device other than
a VCR) mode button on the TV
remote. Then press and hold down
the SURF button as you hold down
the desired mode (VCR or ACC) but-
ton.
NOTE: For correct operation, you
must press and hold down the desired
mode (VCR or ACC) button first and
then press and hold down the SURF
button second.
While holding down the SURF and
the desired mode (VCR orACC)
buttons simultaneously, point the
remote toward the accessory device
and continue holding the buttons
down.
2
Watch the Channel Indicator on
your accessory device. Channel num-
bers will scan up when the TV remote
has identified the correct code for
your accessory device. This may take
several minutes.
3
Release the mode (VCR or ACC)
and SURF buttons as soon as chan-
nel numbers start to scan up. The
scanning means that your TV remote
has found the code for your accessory
device.
NOTE:
If no channel change happens
after several minutes, repeat steps 1 and
2. Then if a channel change still does not
occur, the remote will not work with the
desired accessory device.
Using the Remote Control
• The remote’s back light will blink
as the remote moves through its
product code list. After the remote
identifies the product code for
your accessory device and you
release the remote buttons, the
back light will blink twice.
• Your TV remote may locate the
accessory device’s code quickly or
within several minutes.
• Don’t let the accessory device
scan up more than five channels
when the correct code is found—
the remote may pass up the right
code and have to repeat the search
cycle.

T
he AutoLock™ feature can help par-
ents control what their children watch
on TV. AutoLock™ does this by using the
content advisories sent by broadcasters
or other program providers. After you
program AutoLock™, it can respond to
the content advisories and block pro-
grams that contain content that you may
consider objectionable—offensive lan-
guage, violence, or sexual situations. You
can also use AutoLock™ to block chan-
nels that you don’t want your children to
watch.
In this section, you’ll learn how to block
channels and programming that is not
rated, is unrated, or has no rating. You
will also find out how to turn these block-
ing features on or off. Following on this
page are brief explanations of
AutoLock™ terms and program ratings.
Terms
BLOCKING control—can be thought
of as the “master switch” for
AutoLock™. This control affects the set-
tings you have chosen for blocking pro-
grams according to movie ratings or TV
ratings, or for blocking programs that
have no rating or are unrated. When the
BLOCKING control is OFF, the blocking
or censoring of programs is disabled.
When the BLOCKING control is ON,
blocking will occur according to the set-
tings you have chosen.
BLOCK UNRATED control—if set to
ON, blocks all unrated programs.
Unrated programming consists of the
kind of shows that the MPAA (Motion
Picture Association of America) or the
TV broadcasters have chosen not to rate.
NO RATING control—if set to ON,
blocks all programming with no content
advisory data.
Programming that has No Rating is not
encoded with any rating information
from the MPAA or the Parental
Guidelines. Any programming could fall
into this category.
BLOCK CHANNEL control—enables
you to block individual channels that you
don’t want children to see.

MOVIE RATING—shows all the movie ratings
that you have chosen to block within the MOVIE
RATING control. NOTE: If a lower rating is
blocked, higher ratings will also be blocked auto-
matically. For example, if you block R-rated pro-
grams, those that are rated X will also be blocked.
TV RATING—shows all the TV ratings that you
have chosen to block within the TV RATING con-
trol. NOTE: If a lower rating is blocked, higher
ratings will also be blocked automatically. For
example, if you block TV-PG-rated programs,
those rated TV-14 and TV-MA will also be
blocked. The TV rating controls also have subrat-
ings for Violence (V), Fantasy Violence (FV),
Sexual Situations (S), Coarse Language (L), and
Suggestive Language (D). If you turn off a main
rating but turn on a subrating of that main rating
control, programs having the subrating will be
blocked; however, the main rating will not appear

4:3 shows the conventional (4:3 aspect ratio)
picture in its original format. Border bars are
displayed on the sides.
EXPAND 4:3 expands, or zooms, the picture
both vertically and horizontally, eliminating or
reducing the size of border bars. Picture infor-
mation is lost around the edges.
PANORAMA stretches the outer portions of
the picture horizontally and causes some verti-
cal expansion.
WIDE SCREEN expands the picture horizon-
tally. No vertical expansion occurs.
AUTO senses the presence of border bars and
zooms the picture to reduce or eliminate the
bars. The amount of zoom varies based on the
original picture, but this option can provide
more expansion than EXPAND 4:3.
AUTO works best with video programs that
were originally “letterboxed.” Formatted to pre-
serve the original theatrical aspect ratio, these
programs are presented with border bars at top
and bottom.
Selecting a Picture Format
Using the Remote Control
Use your TV’s picture-format modes with video
sources you connect to the ANTENNA, AV1,
CVI, AV2, or AV3 (side panel) inputs on the
TV. While watching a video source—with no
on-screen menu or display present—press the
CURSOR RING RIGHT or LEFT as many
times as necessary to select the picture format
you desire. Or press the FORMAT button to
perform the same function.

• The term aspect ratio refers to the rela-
tionship 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, how-
ever, 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 orient-
ed. The wide screen is also proportionally
truer to the formats in which movies are
filmed and presented in theaters.
• Although the term widescreen can have
various meanings, it is most commonly
used to refer to a picture format or screen
that has a greater aspect ratio than the
conventional 4:3.
HELPFUL
HINTS
To prevent uneven
picture tube aging,
do not leave border
bars or other sta-
tionary images on
screen for extended
periods of time. See
page 60.
WARNING
Pictures appear more lifelike,
dramatic, and theatrical on your
TV's wide screen.
Y
our TV’s wide screen (16:9 aspect ratio)
delivers a home-cinema experience not pos-
sible with a conventional (4:3 aspect ratio) set.
High-definition (HD) programs originating in
16:9 format and other widescreen-format video
sources appear more lifelike, dramatic, and the-
atrical. Border bars are diminished or eliminat-
ed. Most anamorphic-DVD programs will fill
the wide screen without border bars.
Use your HD set-top box or progressive-scan-
capable DVD player to control the picture for-
mats of video sources connected to the TV’s HD
inputs.
For flexibility with video sources connected to
your TV’s standard inputs—ANTENNA, AV1,
CVI, AV2, or AV3 (side panel)—access your TV’s
picture-format modes. View a video source in
standard (4:3) format or enlarge it to fill the
screen in various ways using EXPAND 4:3,
PANORAMA, WIDE SCREEN, or AUTO.

COMPATIBILITY INFORMATION FOR THE TV’S HIGH-DEFINITION INPUTS
Y
our set’s HD inputs (HD INPUT-AV 4 and
HD INPUT-AV 5) are designed to accept
high-definition signal standards 480p and 1080i
as specified by the Electronic Industries
Association. Output standards may vary by man-
ufacturer. Refer to the directions-for-use manual
for the digital equipment before connecting.
Your TV’s HD input jacks are compatible with
some digital equipment having RGB outputs with
“sync on green” or RGB with “separate H and V
sync.” As with HD component video signals, out-
put standards may vary by manufacturer. Refer to
the directions-for-use manual for the receiver
before connecting.
HD INPUT-AV 4
When the Inputs Are Used with Component Video Signals
Y INPUT: 1.0 Vp-p (includes sync), 75 ohms
Pr INPUT: 700m Vp-p, 75 ohms
Pb INPUT: 700m Vp-p, 75 ohms
NOTES:
The Pb INPUT jack can also receive signals from outputs labeled Cb or B-Y.
The Pr INPUT jack can also receive signals from outputs labeled Cr or R-Y.
When the Inputs Are Used with RGB Video Signals
G/Y: 1.0 Vp-p, 75 ohms (compatible with sync on green)
R/Pr: 700 mVp-p, 75 ohms
B/Pb: 700 mVp-p, 75 ohms
H: 3 Vp-p ± 1.0 V, 1 kohm (when using separate H and V sync)
V: 3 Vp-p ± 1.0 V, 1 kohm (when using separate H and V sync).
HD INPUT-AV 5
This input accepts a digital video interface (DVI) plug, which uses digital data in
the format data standard called transition minimized differential signaling
(TMDS).
• No industry standards have been estab-
lished for HD television RGB signal sys-
tems, timing, synchronization, and signal
strengths. The HD INPUT-AV 4 RGB
inputs on your Philips TV will not be
compatible with all digital equipment that
offers RGB outputs. If the digital equip-
ment you want to connect offers both
component video and RGB, component
video is the suggested type of connection
to use.
• Your TV’s on-screen INSTALL submenu
provides the option of switching the AV4
signal source between YPbPr and RGB
color-space settings. The option is avail-
able only when you have selected the
AV4 signal source (using the AV button
on the remote or the Source Select button
on the TV). The default setting for AV4 is
YPbPr. See page 59.

CARE AND C
LEANING
General Information: Care and Cleaning
WARNING Concerning Stationary Images on the TV Screen:
Do not leave picture border bars or stationary images on screen for extended periods of time.
This can cause uneven picture tube aging.
Normal use of the TV should involve the showing of pictures that contain constantly moving and changing images that fill the
screen. Be careful not to leave non-moving images on screen for extended periods of time, or to display the same images on screen
too frequently, because subtle ghost images can be left on the picture tubes. Avoid showing pictures with border bars or the same
stationary images more than 15 percent of your total viewing in any one week. Sources of stationary images may be broadcast
channels, cable channels, satellite channels, digital television boxes, DVD discs, laser discs, video games, CD-i discs, videotapes,
and others. Here are some examples of stationary images (this is not an all-inclusive list; you may encounter others in your
viewing):
• Border bars—solid bars shown when viewing a standard (4:3) picture and some widescreen movies on your widescreen (16:9)
TV
• DVD menus—listings of DVD disc content
• Video-game images and scoreboards
• Television station logos—present a problem if they are bright and stationary; moving or low-contrast graphics are less likely to
cause uneven aging of the picture tube
• Stock-market tickers—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.
All picture tubes age with use, with their light output diminishing over time. But by maintaining normal use—mixing television
picture types—you will create conditions for the tubes to age at an even rate. The result will be a TV picture that is evenly bright
over the entire screen.
PLACEMENT OF 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.
• Be sure to allow a free flow of air to and from the perforated back cover of the set.
CLEANING
• To avoid possible shock hazard, be sure the TV is unplugged from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
• Regularly dust the TV with a dry, nonscratching duster to keep the TV clean.
• When cleaning the TV, take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface. Avoid wearing jewelry or using anything abrasive.
Do not use household cleaners. Wipe the front screen with a clean cloth dampened with water. Use even, easy, vertical strokes
when cleaning.
Specially designed screen-cleaning kits are also available. These kits contain anti-static cleaners and cloths designed to get into the
ridges of the TV screen. Purchase the kits at stores that sell electronics. Or call our Customer Care Center at 1-800-531-0039.
• Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or sponge dampened in a solution of cool, clear water and a mild soap or
detergent. Use a clean, dry cloth to dry the wiped surfaces.
• Occasionally vacuum the ventilation holes or slots in the back cover of the set.
• Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as they might cause permanent marring of the
cabinet finish.

General Information:Troubleshooting
Difficulties and Possible Solutions (*Q refers to the Quick Use and Setup Guide that came with your TV.)
The TV remote control does not work
• Check that the batteries are installed correctly. See page Q-2*.
• If the batteries are dead, replace them with two “AA” size heavy duty (zinc chloride) or alkaline batteries. See page *Q-2.
• Be no farther than 30 feet from the TV when using the remote control and point the remote toward the remote-sensor window on
the TV. See page *Q-2 for the location of the remote sensor window.
• Clean the remote control and the remote sensor window on the TV. See page *Q-2 for the location of the remote sensor window.
• Check the TV power cord. Unplug the TV, wait 10 seconds, then reinsert the plug into the outlet and push the remote power or
TV power/standby button again. To locate the TV power/standby button, see page *Q-2.
• If you have your TV plugged into an AC power strip, ensure that the fuse on the power strip is not blown.
• Check to see if the TV is on a wall switch.
The TV has no power
• Check the TV’s power cord. Unplug the TV, wait 10 seconds, then reinsert the plug into the outlet and push the remote-control
power or TV power/standby button again. The location of the TV power/standby button is illustrated on page *Q-2.

You cannot get a picture
• Be sure that you have made signal connections correctly and securely. See pages *Q-1, *Q-2, 7–10, and 12–16.
• Check the Tuner Mode control for the correct tuner setting. See page *Q-4.
• Try running the Auto Program feature. See page *Q-5.
• Ensure that you have selected the correct picture signal source using the AV (remote) or Source Select (TV) buttons. See page 24.
• If you are attempting to view a picture from a progressive-scan-capable DVD player connected to the HD inputs, ensure that you
have switched the DVD player to progressive-scan mode. See page 13, as well as the DVD player’s directions-for-use manual.
• If you are using an HD receiver, ensure that its output is set correctly (HD or SD) based on the connection to the TV you have
made. See page 15. Also, refer to the directions-for-use manual that came with the HD receiver.
Picture is fuzzy or out of focus
Check the set’s convergence and adjust if necessary. See page *Q-8.
You cannot see a picture when you play a VCR tape
Press the AV button on the remote control or the Source Select button on the TV until you have selected the source to which you
connected the VCR. See page 24 (AV button) or page *Q-2 (Source Select button).
You cannot tune to a particular channel
• Use the number buttons on the remote instead of the CH + or – buttons. See page *Q-3 (remote-control buttons).
• If necessary, select the Tuner Mode and run Auto Program to store channels in the set’s memory. See pages *Q-4 and *Q-5.
You see scrolling images

GLOSSARY OF
TELEVISION TERMS
General Information: Glossary of Television Terms
Active Control™ • Proactive video-control system for NTSC
sources. Active Control™ continuously measures and corrects the
incoming signals to provide the best picture possible.
Alternate Channel • The feature that allows you to toggle
between the last two channels viewed by pressing the A/CH button
on the remote control.
Audio/Video Inputs • Jacks (standard RCA), located on the rear of
the TV, used for the input of audio and video signals. These jacks
are designed for use with VCRs (or other accessories) to receive
higher picture resolution and offer sound-connection options.
Auto Program • The feature that, when activated, scans for all
available channels from regular antenna or cable signals and stores
only active broadcast stations in the TV’s memory.
Channel Edit • The feature that allows you to add or delete chan-
nels 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 • The broadcast standard feature that allows
you to read the voice content of television programs on the TV
screen. Designed to help the hearing impaired, Closed Captioning
uses on-screen text boxes to show dialogue and conversations
while a TV program is in progress.
Coaxial Cable • A single solid wire normally matched with a
metal end plug (F-type) that screws (or pushes) directly onto a 75-
ohm input found on the television or VCR.
Comb Filter • TV filter that removes distortion, resulting in a
sharper and purer color display. The comb filter addresses the
annoying cross-color distortion that may occur in TV broadcasts
when, for example, the presenter wears a striped or checked jacket.
Component Video Inputs • Inputs that allow the separate recep-
tion of blue, red, and luminance signals. These inputs provide the
highest possible color and picture resolution in the playback of dig-
ital signal-source material, such as the kind available from DVD
players. Component video inputs allow for improved bandwidth
information not possible through composite video or S-Video con-
nections.
Composite Video Input • An input in which all the components
required for displaying the on-screen image are combined in one
signal.
Convergence • The technique used in color TV for bringing the
red, green, and blue color beams together so that they hit the same
part of the picture tube screen at the same time. This avoids color
fringes around images in the picture.
High-definition Television (HDTV) • High-resolution digital tele-
vision. It has lifelike pictures, and with it films retain their original
width, enhancing the home theater experience.
Incredible Surround™ • False acoustic management of the audio
signal that produces a dramatic expansion of the wall of sound that
surrounds the listener and heightens overall viewing pleasure.
Interlaced • A picture-scanning technique that improves the appear-
ance of on-screen motion. It also helps smooth jagged lines that are
sometimes seen on curved and angled surfaces in the picture.
Menu • An on-screen list of feature controls available for you to
adjust or set.
NTSC • National Television Standards Committee format
devised in the 1940s for TV broadcast analog video signals
(525 lines: 30 Hz).
On-screen Displays (OSD) • The wording or messages generated
by the television (or VCR) to help you with specific feature con-
trols (color adjustment or programming, for example).
Picture-in-Picture • The showing of two pictures on the TV
screen at the same time (one main screen picture and one small
picture, or PIP).
Progressive Scan • A picture-scanning technique that doubles the
number of picture lines, eliminating the flicker and providing a
jitter-free picture.
PTV • Projection Television. (Rear- and/or front-projection design
systems are available.)
Remote-control Sensor Window • The window or opening found
on the television control panel through which infrared remote-con-
trol command signals are received.
RGB • Red, green, and blue signal. These are the primary colors of
light that are used to produce a picture in television. By mixing
levels or R, G, and B, all colors (chrominance and luminance) are
reproduced.
RF • Radio Frequency or modulated signal design used as the car-
rier for television broadcasts.
Second Audio Program (SAP) • An additional audio channel pro-
vided for in the Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) broadcast
standard. A monaural soundtrack included within the recorded or
video signal (usually containing a second language translation for
the displayed programming).
Status/Exit Button • Remote-control button that, when pressed,
shows the current channel number, name (if set), time (if set),
Sleep Timer setting, and sound setting (stereo, mono, SAP, or
mute). Pressing the button twice shows the current AutoLock™
settings. Pressing the button once when an on-screen display is
showing removes the on-screen display. You can use Status/Exit
rather than having to wait for the displays to “time out,” or auto-
matically disappear from the screen.
S-Video Input • Signal input that allows direct connection of high-
resolution video sources, such as a satellite receiver, DVD player,
S (Super)-VHS videocassette recorder, or video games. Provides
improved picture resolution, sharpness, and clarity.
480p • Digital picture format with 704 x 480 pixels, sent at 60
complete frames per second. This is the output format of progres-
sive-scan DVD players.
1080i • Digital high-definition picture format with 1920 x 1080
pixels, sent at 60 interlaced frames per second (30 complete frames
per second).
Tint • TV function that allows you to change the general color bal-
ance between cool and warm. Adjust tint according to your person-
al preference.
Twin–lead Wire • The more commonly used name for the two-
strand, 300-ohm antenna wire used with many indoor and outdoor
antenna systems. In many cases, this type of antenna wire requires
an additional adapter (or balun) in order to connect to the 75-ohm
input terminals designed into the more recent TVs and VCRs.

LIMITED WARRANTY
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 projection TV screen), all parts will be
repaired or replaced, and labor and transportation are free. From one to
two years from the day of purchase, you pay for the replacement or
repair of all parts except the cathode ray tube and the “Clear-Vu” lens,
and for all labor and transportation charges. After two years from the
day of purchase, you pay for the replacement or repair of all parts except
the “Clear-Vu” lens (which is guaranteed against manufacturer’s defects
for the life of the product), 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.
(In U.S.A., Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands, all implied warranties,
including implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a partic-
ular purpose, are limited in duration to the duration of this express
warranty. But, because some states do not allow limitations on how
long an implied warranty may last, this limitation may not apply to
you.)
(In Canada, this warranty is given in lieu of all other warranties. No
other warranties are expressed or implied, including any implied war-
ranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Philips is
not liable under any circumstances for any direct, indirect, special, inci-
dental or consequential damages, howsoever incurred, even if notified
of the possibility of such damages.)
