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.cannot obstruct the air flow
through the ventilation 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 'Tips' at the end of this booklet.
Interference
The Department of Trade and Industry operates a Radio Interference Investigation Service to help
TV license 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 Office 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,con-
sult your dealer.
Important
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug.
To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows :
1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2. Fit new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A,A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3. Refit the fuse cover.
In order to maintain conformity to the EMC directive, the mains plug on this product must not be
removed.
Connecting the aerial
The aerial should be connected to the socket marked x 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 or set-top aerials are unlikely to give adequate results.
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 you consult your dealer on
the best method of connection.
Stand (if provided)
Use only the stand provided with the set,making sure that the fixings are properly tightened.A dia-
gram showing how to assemble the stand is packed with the stand. Never use a make-shift stand,or
legs fixed with woodscrews.

EasyLink features are based on the “one touch operation” approach.This
means that a sequence of actions are executed at the same time in both the
television and the recorder, provided both are fitted with the EasyLink function
and connected with the eurocable supplied with your recorder.
R End of life directives
Philips is paying a lot of attention to
producing environmentally-friendly in
green focal areas.Your new TV contains
materials which can be recycled and
reused. At the end of its life specialised
companies can dismantle the
discarded TV to concentrate the
reusable materials and to minimise
the amount of materials to be
disposed of.
Your TV contains a (tolerated) small
amount of mercury. Please ensure you
dispose of your old TV according to
local regulations.

not give an answer or if ‘Tips’ do
not solve your TV problem, you

There is a wide range of audio and video equipment that can be connected to your TV.
The following connection diagrams show you how to connect them.
Note:
EXT1 can handle CVBS and RGB; EXT2 CVBS, Y/C and RGB; EXT3 CVBS; HDMI can handle VGA (640x480
via a DVI or HDMI connector) and 480p, 576p, 480i and 576i.
It is preferable to connect peripherals with RGB output to
EXT1 or EXT2 as RGB provides a better picture quality.
Note: If your recorder is provided with the EasyLink function, it should be connected to
EXT2 to benefit from the

Tips
Care of the screen Do not touch, push or rub or strike the screen with anything hard as this may
scratch, mar or damage the screen permanently.
And please do not rub with dust clothes with chemical treatment.
Do not touch the surface with bare hands or greasy cloth (some cosmetics are
detrimental to the screen).
Unplug the TV before cleaning the screen.
When the surface becomes dusty, please wipe gently with absorbent cotton or
other soft materials like chamois soaks.
Do not use acetone, toluene and alcohol because they cause chemical damage.
Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
Wipe off saliva or water drops as soon as possible.Their long time contact with
the screen causes deformations and colour fading.
Poor Picture • Have you selected the correct TV system in the manual installation menu?
• Is your TV or house aerial located too close to loudspeakers, non-earthed audio
equipment or neon lights, etc.?
• Mountains or high buildings can cause double pictures or ghost images.
Sometimes you can improve the picture quality by changing the direction of the
aerial.
• Is the picture or teletext unrecognisable? Check if you have entered the correct
frequency. See Installation, Manual installation, p. 7.
• Are brightness, sharpness and contrast out of adjustment? Select Factory
settings in the Setup, General menu, p. 8.
No Picture • Are the supplied cables connected properly ? (The aerial cable to the TV, the

Annex : Philips Flat TV Slideshow Format
Notes:
- The latest version of this document can be found on the Philips support website (www.philips.com/support).
Use the type number of your TV (e.g. 32PF9956/12) to find this documentation and other related files.
- Philips can’t be held responsible for any problems that may occur as a result of the content in this document. Errors
reported to Philips will be adapted and published on the Philips support website as soon as possible.
• The slideshow will use plain ASCII XML syntax to allow the creation and editing of the slideshow
files using simple tools.
• All references to network content must be based on the global address of the content.
• Content on a Portable Memory (PM) doesn't have a global address; as a result content from a PM
can never be referenced from a slideshow not stored on the PM itself.
• To maintain portability, a slideshow stored on a PM should ONLY reference content on the same
PM. Referencing global addresses can result in inconsistencies if the PM is used on a non-networked
CE device. The latter is however not forbidden, it is only a recommendation.
• It is preferable that URL’s referencing PM content are based on a relative path starting from the
directory where the slideshow is stored. This path includes the device or drive name of the PM.
An absolute path to content will also be supported.
- relative path: pictures\test1.jpg, tamper.jpg, ..\new\bird.jpg, …
- absolute path: USB1:\pictures1\foo_bar.jpg, C:\f1.jpg, \organisation.jpg, …
