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 Stationary 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 stationary 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 stationary. 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 wide screen
programmes. Many of your favourite
programmes are in wide screen on the
digital channels - something the analogue TV
cannot do properly.
There is new whole experience of inter
activity 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.

18 Digital teletext (MHEG)
Available in U.K. only
Digital teletext services differ greatly from
analogue teletext. When you switch to a
Digital teletext service, the images you see
contain graphics and text which are laid out
and controlled in a manner decided by the
broadcaster. Some digital channels, which you
select like any other channel, offer dedicated
teletext services. Some digital channels also
offer information on the programme being
broadcast (a message or an instruction may
appear on the screen).
Under certain circumstances, Digital text or
interactive services may have priority over
subtitles. This can result in the subtitles not
automatically reappearing when leaving Digital
text or interactive services on a channel
which is broadcasting subtitles. In these cases,
subtiltes can be intialised either by toggling
the
key on the remote control or by
changing channels.
1
To use the digital teletext, follow the
instructions on screen.
2
Depending on the service, you can
be asked to use the Í Æ Î ï (cursor
keys), (colour keys),
(Teletext On/Off key) and
sometimes the / numerical
keys.
Note
If no colour key links are available
in the Digital Teletext to allow you to
exit teletext mode, use the key
instead.
3
When you have finished watching
teletext, select a different channel with
P + / – keys or follow the on screen
instructions to return to picture.
When you switch to a digital channel with
links to a teletext service, software is
downloaded in the background to enable the
teletext function. You will have to wait for a
while before you press the
key to allow
the software download to complete. If you
press the key before the download is
complete, there will be a short delay before
the teletext screen is displayed.
While navigating the digital teletext, there is
a short delay while the page downloads. A
prompt or message is often broadcast on the
page to let you know the progress.
Analogue teletext in Digital mode
Note
Available in all countries
• If you see an icon
TXT
on a digital
channel without digital teletext services,
it indicates Analogue Teletext is available
in Digital mode.
• Press the key to access Analogue
teletext.
Note
If UK country is selected during
installation, press and hold
key for
at least 3 seconds.
• To use Analogue Teletext functions, see

34 Glossary
DVI (Digital Visual Interface) : A digital interface
standard created by the Digital Display Working
Group (DDWG) to convert analog signals into
digital signals to accommodate both analog and
digital monitors.
RGB signals : These are the three video
signals, Red Green Blue, which make up the
picture. Using these signals improves picture
quality.
S-VHS signals : These are 2 separate
Y/C video signals from the S-VHS and Hi-8
recording standards. The luminance signals Y
(black and white) and chrominance signals C
(colour) are recorded separately on the tape.
This provides better picture quality than with
standard video (VHS and 8 mm) where the Y/C
signals are combined to provide only one video
signal.
16:9 : Refers to the ratio between the
length and height of the screen. Wide screen
televisions have a ratio of 16/9, conventional
screen TV sets have a ratio of 4/3.
MHEG (Multimedia and Hypermedia
information coding Expert Group) : provides
standards for the coded representation of
multimedia and hypermedia information objects
that are interchanged among applications
and services using a variety of media. The
objects defi ne the structure of a multimedia
hypermedia presentation.
HDMI (High-Defi nition Multimedia Interface)
: Provides an uncompressed, all digital audio/video
interface between the TV and any HDMI-equipped
audio/video component, such as set-top box, DVD
player and A/V receiver. HDMI supports enhanced
or high-defi nition video plus two-channel digital
audio.
System : Television pictures are not broadcast in
the same way in all countries. There are different
standards: BG, DK, I, and LL’. The System setting
(page 28) is used to select these different standards.
This is not to be confused with PAL or SECAM
colour coding. PAL is used in most countries in
Europe, SECAM in France, Russia and most African
countries. The United States and Japan use a
different system called NTSC.
MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) is
the nickname given to a family of International
Standards used for coding audio-visual
information in a digital compressed format.
Information for users in the UK (not
applicable outside the UK)
Positioning the TV
For the best results, choose a position where
light does not fall directly on the screen, and
at some distance away from radiators or
other sources of heat. Leave a space of at
least 5 cm all around the TV for ventilation,
making sure that curtains, cupboards etc. can-
not obstruct the air fl ow through the ventila-
tion apertures. The TV is intended for use
in a domestic environment only and should
never be operated or stored in excessively
hot or humid atmospheres.
General Points
Please take note of the section entitled ‘Tips’
at the end of this booklet.
Interference
The Department of Trade and Industry
operates a Radio Interference Investigation
Service to help TV licence holders improve
reception of BBC and IBA programmes
where they are being spoilt by interference.
If your dealer cannot help, ask at a main Post
Offi ce for the booklet “How to Improve
Television and Radio Reception”.
Mains connection
Before connecting the TV to the mains, check
that the mains supply voltage corresponds to
the voltage printed on the type plate on the
rear panel of the TV. If the mains voltage is
different, consult your dealer.
Important
This apparatus is fi tted with an approved
moulded 13 AMP plug. Should it become
necessary to replace the mains fuse, this
must be replaced with a fuse of the same
value as indicated on the plug.
1
Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2
The replacement fuse must comply with
BS 1362 and have the ASTA approval
mark. If the fuse is lost, make contact
with your retailer in order to verify the
correct type.
3
Refi t the fuse cover.
If for any reason the fi tted plug is not
suitable for your socket outlet, please
consult your retailer or a qualifi ed
electrician before proceeding with the
installation.
Connecting the aerial
The aerial should be connected to the
socket marked : at the back of the set.An
inferior aerial is likely to result in a poor,
perhaps unstable picture with ghost images
and lack of contrast. Make-shift loft or set-
top aerials are often inadequate. Your dealer
will know from experience the most suitable
type for your locality. Should you wish to use
the set in conjunction with
other equipment, which connects to the
aerial socket such as TV games, or a video
camera it is recommended that these be
connected via a combiner unit to avoid
repeated connection and disconnection
of the aerial plug.
Fitting the stand (if provided)
Use only the stand provided with the set,
making sure that the fi xings are properly
tightened. A diagram showing how to
assemble the stand is packed with the stand.
Never use a make-shift stand, or legs fi xed
with woodscrews.
