GLOSSARY
4:3
4:3 is an aspect ratio of traditional squarish National Television Systems Committe (NTSC) TV screens; it stands for four
units of width for every three units of height.
Aspect Ratio
The ratio between the width and height of the TV picture on the screen. In a normal TV set the aspect ratio is 4
to 3 (4:3).
Audio Video (A/V)
A term often used when discussing a channel on a TV receiver or on video equipment, which has been
especially designed to accept VCR audio-video signals. This channel automatically activates special circuitry
within the TV set to prevent picture distortion and skewing. It is also used for audio-video processors, which
handle both types of signals.
Cable Converter Box
A device that allows your television to receive the expanded number of channels provided by broadcasters. Some of these
programs provided by the broadcast may not be free, you’ll have to pay to view them.
Coaxial Cable
Coaxial cable is a copper cable used to connect cable signal coming from Cable TV Company to the TV.
Composit Video Input
Connection
An analog encoded video signal that includes vertical and horizontal synchronizing information. Since both luminance
(brightness) and chrominance (color) signals are encoded together, only a signal connection wire is needed. A composite
video jack is usually a single RCA-type.
Component Video
Input Connection
Provides the highest possible color and picture resolution on the playback of digital signal source material like DVD players.
The color difference signals (Pb, Pr) and the luminance(Y) signals are connected separately which allows for improved
color bandwidth information (not possible when using composite video or S-Video connections).
Letterbox
Letterbox refers to the image of a wide-screen picture on a standard 4:3 aspect ratio television screen.
Luminance
The brightness or black-and-white component of a color video signal. Determines the level of picture detail.
NTSC
National television system committee. The organization that developed the analog television standard currently in use in the
U.S., Canada, and Japan. Now generally used to refer to that standard. The NTSC standard combines blue, red, and green
signals modulated as an AM signal with an FM signal for audio.
S-Video
Separated video. An encoded video signal which separates the brightness from color data. S-Video can greatly improve
the picture when connecting TVs to any high quality video source such as digital broadcast satellite (DBS) and DVDs.
WARNING
Concerning Stationary Images on the TV Screen:
Do not leave stationary or letterbox 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 nonmoving 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. Sources of stationary images may be
DVD disks, laser disks, video games, CD-i disks, videotapes,
digital television boxes, broadcast channels, cable channels, sat-
ellite channels, and others. Here are some examples of station-
ary images (this is not an all-inclusive list; you may encounter
others in your viewing):
• DVD menus—listings of DVD disk content
• Letterbox black bars—shown at the top and bottom of the
TV screen when a wide screen (16:9) movie is viewed on a
TV with standard (4:3) aspect ratio.
• 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.
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 perfo-
rated 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.
• 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 damage
of the cabinet finish.

Go to
TUNER MODE
in the television menu and select the correct signal source, then perform the
automatic installation again. (Refer to page 15).
Sound
Disturbing sound
(such as buzzing,
clicking, cracking,
humming, whistling,
etc).
It is normal to hear a disturbing sound (such as buzzing, clicking, cracking, humming, whistling, etc)
from a distance less than 2 meters (6 feet) with the television sound muted.
If problem occurs on one channel, you may have a signal problem. Please contact the cable provider
or local broadcaster regarding the specifi c channel.
Sound
Sound is not in
Stereo.
This could be due to any of the following reasons:
1. Not all transmitted broadcasts by the cable or broadcast stations are in STEREO. Try checking
with several major network stations to be sure that the station you selected is in STEREO.
2. When SAP is turned ON, the sound mode is automatically set to MONO.
3. Sound mode is set to MONO. Set the sound mode to STEREO. (Refer to page 19).
4. When using an AV input, the television will not display STEREO even though it is producing
stereo sound.

No power to the
TV
Check the TV power cord. Unplug the power cord from the TV, wait 10 seconds, then reinsert
the plug into your wall outlet. Power On the TV again.

General
TV Displays white
lines in letterbox
when viewing a
DVD disc
Some DVD Discs are encoded with as much as 30% more video information to give the best
possible picture quality. With the DVD Player in the “letterbox” picture format, the playback of this
type of disc with extra video information can produce a number of small white lines in the
upper portion of the black letterbox area. With some of these discs, this problem is inherent
and does not require a service call.

PHILIPS LIMITED WARRANTY
NINETY (90) DAY LABOR / ONE (1) PARTS / TWO (2) YEAR DISPLAY
WARRANTY COVERAGE:
PHILIPS warranty obligation is limited to the terms set forth
below.
WHO IS COVERED:
Philips warrants the product to the original purchaser or the
person receiving the product as a gift against defects in materi-
als and workmanship as based on the date of original purchase
(“Warranty Period”) from an Authorized Dealer. The original
sales receipt showing the product name and the purchase date
from an authorized retailer is considered such proof.
WHAT IS COVERED:
The Philips warranty covers new products if a defect arises and
a valid claim is received by Philips within the Warranty Period.
At its option, Philips will either (1) repair the product at no
charge, using new or refurbished replacement parts, or (2)
exchange the product with a product that is new or which has
been manufactured from new, or serviceable used parts and is
at least functionally equivalent or most comparable to the origi-
nal product in Philips current inventory, or (3) refund the origi-
nal purchase price of the product.
Philips warrants replacement products or parts provided under
this warranty against defects in materials and workmanship
from the date of the replacement or repair for ninety (90) days
or for the remaining portion of the original product’s warranty,
whichever provides longer coverage for you. When a product
or part is exchanged, any replacement item becomes your
property and the replaced item becomes Philips’ property.
When a refund is given, your product becomes Philips’ proper-
ty.
Note: Any product sold and identified as refurbished or
renewed carries a ninety (90) day limited warranty.
Replacement product can only be sent if all warranty
requirements are met. Failure to follow all require-
ments can result in delay.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED - EXCLUSIONS AND LIM-
ITATIONS:
This Limited Warranty applies only to the new products manu-
factured by or for Philips that can be identified by the trade-
mark, trade name, or logo affixed to it. This Limited Warranty
does not apply to any non-Philips hardware product or any
software, even if packaged or sold with the product. Non-
Philips manufacturers, suppliers, or publishers may provide a
separate warranty for their own products packaged with the
bundled product.
Philips is not liable for any damage to or loss of any programs,
data, or other information stored on any media contained with-
in the product, or any non-Philips product or part not covered
by this warranty. Recovery or reinstallation of programs, data
or other information is not covered under this Limited
Warranty.
This warranty does not apply (a) to damage caused by accident,
abuse, misuse, misapplication, or non-Philips product, (b) to
damage caused by service performed by anyone other than
Philips or Philips Authorized Service Location, (c) to a product
or a part that has been modified without the written permis-
sion of Philips, or (d) if any Philips serial number has been
removed or defaced, or (e) product, accessories or consum-
ables sold “AS IS” without warranty of any kind by including
refurbished Philips product sold “AS IS” by some retailers.
This Limited Warranty does not cover:
• Shipping charges to return defective product to Philips.
• Labor charges for installation or setup of the product, adjust-
ment 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 improper
installation, connections to improper voltage supply, abuse,
neglect, misuse, accident, unauthorized repair or other cause
not within the control of Philips.
• Damage or claims for products not being available for use, or
for lost data or lost software.
• Damage occurring to product during shipping.
• 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 modifica-
tions.

(including but not limited to rental purposes).
• Product lost in shipment and no signature verification receipt
can be provided.
