QUICK USE AND SETUP GUIDE
Thissection shows you how to make a basic TV connection
usinga cable TV or antenna signal.
Ifyou have cable TV service, you’ll simply connect the coaxial
cablelead-in from the cable TV company to your TV. If you intend
toconnect a VHF/UHF antenna, you may need a 300- to 75-ohm
adapter,which is not supplied with your TV.
NOTE:You should be able to buy optional accessories such as a
VHF/UHFantenna or a 300- to 75-ohm adapter at most stores
thatsell electronics. Or you can call our Customer Care Center
at1-800-531-0039.
1Connectthe Cable TV or antenna signal to the
ANTENNAIN 75Ωjack on the rear of the TV.
NOTE:If you are using an antenna with a round coaxial
cable(75Ω), then you are ready to connect to the back of
theTV. If your antenna has a flat, twin-lead wire (300Ω),
youmust first attach the antenna wires on a 300- to 75-
ohmadapter. Then push the round end of the adapter onto
theANTENNA IN 75Ωjack on the rear of the TV.

BEST VIEWING
Themajor benefit of this projection television is its large view- ingscreen. To see this large screen at its best, test various
locationsin 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 avoidcabinet warping, cabinet color changes,
andincreased chance of set failure, do not place
theTV where temperatures can become excessively
hot—forexample, in direct sunlight or near a
heatingappliance.
Magneticfields, such as those of external speak-
ers,may cause the picture to distort if the speak-
ersare placed too close to the television. Move
themagnetic field source away from the TV until
thereis no picture distortion.
CABLES AND CONNECTORS
Ifyou are new to making TV hookups, you may want to read
thissection. (The cables and connectors discussed are not sup-
pliedwith your set. You can buy them at most stores that sell
audioor video products. Or call our Customer Care Center at
1-800-531-0039.)
Thispublication provides you with examples of basic connections.
Seepages 6–17 in the Directions for Use manual for more infor-
mationon connections, along with connection examples.
A75-ohmcoaxial cable connects signals
froman antenna or a cable TV company
tothe antenna jack on the back of the TV.
Coaxialcables use “F” connectors.
Atwo-waysignal splitter enables you to

To simplifymaking connections, the connectors
areusually color coded. The jacks on your TV are
likewisecolor coded to match the colors of the
connectors.The coding is as follows: yellow for
video(composite) and red and white for the right
andleft audio channels, respectively. Use an audio
cablewith a white connector when making mono,
ornonstereo, connections. The connectors of
videocables used to connect component video or
RGB(high-resolution) jacks are often color coded
red,green, and blue. Component video connec-
tionsprovide you with the highest possible color
andpicture resolution.
AnS-Video cable connects devices such as DVD
players,VCRs, or camcorders to your TV. S-Video
providesbetter picture per-
formancethan regular (com-
posite)video connections.
S-Videocables can be used
onlywith S-Video-compatible accessory devices.
Youmust also connect the left and right audio
cablesalong with S-Video because the S-Video
jackcarries only the picture signal, not the sound.

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
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 onscreen 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 onscreen display.
Channel Edit allows you to add or remove channels 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 allows you to read TV program dialog or
voice conversations as onscreen text.
Virtual Dolby* Surround (referred to as DOLBY VIRTUAL in
the onscreen submenu) uses two speakers to simulate the sur-
round 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.
High-definition component video inputs allow you to connect
High-definition signals to the TV (HD INPUT-AV 4 only). The
result is superb color purity, crisp color detail, and reduced color
noise. Your set provides separate HD inputs for YPbPr/RGB, as well
as horizontal and vertical sync.
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.
Onscreen menu shows the TV controls and allows you adjust or set
those controls (can be viewed in American English, French, or
Spanish).
Picture-in-picture (PIP) allows you to monitor one video source
while watching another. You can swap the main and secondary pic-
tures, or position the PIP window in any screen corner.
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. Anyone with children or pets knows
accidents can happen in the home—especially when parents aren’t
watching. The protective screen filter is specifically formulated by
Philips for HD displays to protect your investment while giving the
best possible picture.
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 comb filter provides improved chroma/luminance sepa-
ration to the picture. Offering vertical-edge enhancement and virtu-
ally no “dot crawl,” this filter easily supports the demands of DVD
players and other advanced high-resolution video sources.

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.

may see R-Y/B-Y/Y; or CrCbY. Although
abbreviations and terms may vary, the let-
ters Band Rstand for the blue and red
color component signal connectors, respec-
tively, and Yindicates the luminance sig-
nal. If necessary, refer to the directions-for-
use manual for your DVD or digital acces-
sory for more information.

•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 connectors. 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 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 nonmoving
pattern on the TV screen can cause picture-tube
damage. When you are not using your video
accessory devices, turn them off. Also, regular-
ly alternate the use of accessory video sources
with normal TV viewing. See page 60.

•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 onscreen 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 connectors. 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
Your TV remote is capable of working not only your TV but also other infrared
remote (IR) controlled 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 device, you
will need to perform this 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.
1Press the VCR or ACC(essory)
mode button on the TV remote for
the desired accessory device category.
NOTE: Pressing the VCR mode button
allows access to product codes for
VCRs. Pressing the ACC(essory) mode
button allows access to the product
codes for cable TV converters, satellite
receivers, DVD players, and laser-disc
players.
2Point the TV remote toward the
desired accessory device and press
the POWER button.
Does the remote turn the accessory
device on?
If yes,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
Now 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.
1First, 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
back light will switch on.
NOTE: For correct operation, you
must first press and hold the mode
button and then press and hold the
MENU/SELECT button simultaneously.
2Within 30 seconds of pressing the
VCR (or ACC) button and
MENU/SELECT button, enter a
four-digit code for the accessory
device (see pages 21 and 22).
If you make a mistake while attempt-
ing to enter the four-digit code and
want to start again, press any button
other than one with a number. Then
return to step 1 to begin again.
3Point 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 SEARCH METHOD TO PROGRAM YOUR TV REMOTE
Your 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.
1Turn on the desired device. 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
SURF button as you hold down the
desired mode (VCR or ACC) button.
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 or ACC)
buttons simultaneously, point the
remote toward the accessory device
and continue holding the buttons
down.
2Watch 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.
3Release 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.
