PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
Active Control, APAC, Easy Tune, and Incredible Surround are trademarks of Philips Consumer Electronics North America. Copyright 2002
Philips Consumer Electronics.
*Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. “Dolby” and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.
Philips HD Pix Optics System answers the demand for extreme resolution HD with cutting-edge processing and display tech-
nology, including microphosphor CRTs, hybrid projection lenses, first-surface mirrors, fine-pitched lenticular screens, and Philips
wideband amplifier.
100Hz Digital Scan eliminates picture flickering and line jitter, offering a stable picture for relaxed viewing (no eye strain). The
100Hz digital scan option can be selected in the onscreen menu.
Progressive Scan doubles the number of visible picture lines per field by displaying all picture frame lines at once. This mini-
mizes the visibility of the scan lines. The progressive scan option can be selected in the onscreen menu.
High-definition Inputs allow you to connect digital equipment with 1080i and 480p signals for 60Hz and 576p signals for 50Hz. The
AV4 sockets are for YPbPr or RGB+HV sync connections, plus audio. The AV5 sockets are for RGB (or YPbPr with adaptor) DB15 con-
nections, plus audio.
Component Video Inputs support advanced video input—such as DVD video—for superb colour performance.
Active Control™continuously measures and corrects all incoming signals with automatic digital noise reduction and auto sharp-
ness to provide the best possible picture.
Automatic Phosphor Aging Compensation (APAC™) functions like a screen saver for your TV. Nonmoving images
can be bad for a television screen. If a video image remains stationary, it can eventually leave a permanent after-image. Video games
and the stationary black bars around some movies are examples of sources of concern. Philips APAC technology addresses this prob-
lem. Periodically, APAC automatically shifts your television picture in increments that are very small and yet large enough to blur
image retention that can lead to screen burn. Coupled with the Philips Auto Screen Format feature, APAC helps provide you protec-
tion from the dreaded screen burn.
Protective Screen Filter (if provided; availability varies) gives the best possible picture while still protecting your investment.
Specifically formulated by Philips for HD displays, this protective screen filter helps prevent accidental damage to the delicate front lenticu-
lar screen.
Dolby* Virtual Surround uses two speakers to simulate the surround effect produced by a multichannel system.
Digital Comb Filter makes the finest colour details purer and sharper. It eliminates disturbing cross-colour (Moiré) effects
between different colours that you normally see with striped clothing worn on camera. The digital comb filter works by electronical-
ly separating the chroma (colour) and luminance (black and white) components of the TV signal, preventing cross-colour interfer-
ence.

ing appliance.
Mains Power

1The major benefit of this projection tel-
evision is its large viewing screen. To
see the large screen at its best, test vari-
ous locations in the room to find the
optimal spot for viewing.
Be sure to allow a minimum of 15 cm
of space around the TV.
To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color
changes, and increased chance of set
failure, do not place the TV where tem-
peratures can become excessively
hot—for example, in direct sunlight or
near a heating appliance.
Magnetic fields, such as those of exter-
nal speakers, may cause the picture to
distort if the speakers are placed too
close to the television. Move the mag-
netic field source away from the TV
until there is no picture distortion.
2Insert the aerial plug firmly into the
ANTENNA IN 75Ωsocket at the rear
of the set.
3Insert the mains plug in the wall sock-
et. Refer to the back of the TV set for
the correct operation voltage. Consult
your local dealer if your main supply is
different. To prevent damaging the
mains (AC) cord, which could cause
hazard, do not place the TV on the
cord.
4Remove the cover of the battery com-
partment on the remote control. Insert
the two batteries supplied
(Type R6-1.5V).
The batteries supplied do not contain
the heavy metals mercury and cadmi-
um. Nevertheless, in many countries
exhausted batteries may not be dis-
posed of with your household waste.
Please check on how to dispose of
exhausted batteries according to local
regulations.
See the battery caution statement on
page 2.
Note : This remote control functions
with TVs that use the RC5 signalling
standard.

power switch on the front of the TV. If
the Standby key is lighted, press the
CH +/– keys, digit keys, or the Standby
