ScanCard II provides a method of displaying VGA/SVGA,
composite video, S-Video, and various audio connections to
any of the Philips 19”, 25”, 27”, 32” or 36” SmartCard tele-
visions. This allows the user more dynamic picture and
sound quality when using computers, video cameras,
VCRs, DVD Players, Laser Disc Players, CD-i Players,
Web Browsers, and Satellite Systems.
With use of a T374AH Setup Remote (see T374AH Remote
Control Instructions - part # IB7166E002 for complete
details), the installer can adjust the normal commercial tele-
vision functions (with the exception of the BRIGHTNESS
and PICTURE settings for VGA and NON-VGA display
modes). ScanCard II will store a separate set of BRIGHT-
NESS and PICTURE settings for these display modes. This
allows the display to be optimized for computer generated
graphics while retaining display settings that are pleasing
for off-air or accessory equipment viewing (VCR, DVD,
etc.).
With the ability to adjust the picture through horizontal and
vertical scaling, ScanCard II allows full use of your display
when using the most current computer software applica-
tions.
When tuned to the VGA channel, ScanCard II gives the
option of viewing the display twice as large with a 2x
ZOOM feature. This larger display can be “PANNED” left,
right, up, or down by pressing the remote’s CURSOR
keys.
This unique television module can easily be linked or
“daisy chained” to multiple monitors using the “loop-
through” jacks located on the rear jack panel of ScanCard
II. You can create a central control area with many monitor-
ing stations, ideal for educational purposes.
Access to additional external inputs provided by ScanCard
II can be obtained simply by changing channels. Using the
channel UP/DOWN buttons to select the three channels
directly below the lowest broadcast channel, will allow the
use of AUX, S-VIDEO, and VGA inputs. These “channels”
can also be selected directly using the supplied remote.
This remote has dedicated buttons labeled SVID, VGA, and
AUX. Pressing any of these buttons will directly tune the
SmartCard TV to it’s respective channel (or input jack).
ScanCard II transforms any SmartCard television into the
ultimate display for computer graphics, TV broadcast pro-
gramming, inter-active CD-Rom, DVD, Laser Disc Players
or any of today’s hi-tech entertainment devices.

When unpacking the ScanCard II compo- nents from the box, be careful pulling the
items out. The box is packed with five separate-
ly packaged items; The ScanCard II Assembly
Cover, the ScanCard II Circuit Board, the

Plug/Retaining Nut/Hex Head Screw, and the
Remote Control Unit. Unfold the Cardboard
holders to release the two Circuit Boards and
use the following instructions to assemble the
unit.
Line up the 25 pin connector on the
ScanCard II Circuit board with the 25 pin con-
nector on the Jack Panel board. Carefully but
firmly, press the connectors together until the
pins are fully set into the designated connector.
Attach the RF Input Plug to the ScanCard II
Assembly Cover, and use the Retaining Nut to
secure it to the cover.
Using the Hex Head Screw supplied, secure
the Jack Panel board to the ScanCard II Cover.
BEGIN
Remember to be careful when pushing the
25 Pin connectors together. Try not to bend or
force the pins into place. If they will not slide in easily,
please disconnect the two boards and start over.
Do not over tighten the Hex Head Screw when securing
the Assembly to its cover. Over tightening can cause
stripping of the ScanCard II Assembly Cover.

Installation of the ScanCard II is easy.
Remember to follow these instructions, be
patient, and use the T374AH Set Up Remote
Control (see T374AH Remote Control
Instructions - part # IB7166E002 for complete
details). Note: This is not the remote supplied
with the ScanCard II package.
Start by unplugging the AC power cord
from the wall socket. Remove the hex head
screws holding the card cover in place. Slide the
card cover off. Be careful when pulling the
Antenna jack (RF IN) out of its plug.
Insert the ScanCard II (with its components
facing down) into the back of the TV. Line up
and guide the 32 pin connector into place. Note:
There are guide pins to help line up the Card
properly. Gently, but firmly, press the card into
place by pushing on the card cover directly in line
with the circuit board itself.
DO NOT press the card into place by pushing on
the corners of the card cover.
Press the RF IN (Antenna) jack firmly into
its plug and replace the hex head screws to secure
the card and card cover to the rear of the TV.
BEGIN
Remember, unplug the TV to avoid electrical
shock damage to the TV.
Be sure to align the 32 pin connector before pressing into
place. Never force the ScanCard II into the connector. If it
will not go in smoothly, realign the guide pins and try
again.
Do not use the ScanCard II jacks to push the card
assembly into place. Push on the cover directly behind
the card itself.

Acombination antenna receives normal broadcast channels (VHF 2-13 and UHF
14-69). Your connection is easy since there is
only one 75Ω(ohm) antenna plug on the
back of your TV - and that’s where the
antenna goes. (If you have more than one
antenna, please refer to the diagram at the
bottom of page 11 for additional hookups.)
If your antenna has a round cable (75 ohm)
on the end, then you're ready to connect it to the
TV.
If your antenna has flat twin-lead wire (300
ohm), you first need to attach the antenna wires to
the screws on a 300 to 75 ohm adapter.
Push the round end of the adapter (or anten-
na) onto the RF IN plug on the rear of the TV. If
the round end of the antenna wire is threaded,
screw it down tight.
BEGIN
Remember, be sure to set the TV for the
type signal you've connected.
To set the TV to select only the channel numbers
in your area see how to “Program" or "Add" chan-
nels in memory.
To order any optional accessory contact your deal-
er or call the toll-free accessory ordering number

Your Cable TV input into your home may be a single (75 ohm) cable, or a
Converter Box installation. In either case the
connection to the TV is very easy. Just put
the threaded end of the cable signal to the
TV's antenna plug and screw it down tight.
If your Cable TV signal is a single round
cable (75 ohm) then you're ready to connect to
the TV.
If you have a Cable TV Converter Box:
Connect the Cable TV signal to the Cable Signal
IN(put) plug on the Converter.
Connect the Cable TV cable to the RF IN
plug on the TV.
If you have a Cable TV Converter Box:
Connect the OUT(put) plug from the Converter to
the RF IN plug on the TV (connecting cable sup-
plied with the Converter.)
BEGIN
Remember, set the TV to the “Cable TV
Mode.” Then, to select only the channel
numbers on your Cable system see “Auto
Program" (refer to page 33 for both features).
If you use a Cable Converter box, set the TV to
the same channel as the converter's CH 3/4 switch
(on the rear of the converter.)

VGA INPUTS
The main purpose of the ScanCardII is its
ability to convert VGA/SVGA inputted
data from a computer to S-Video data, thus
showing computer generated graphics on the
screen of a Philips SmartCard TV.
The following are suggested computer connec-
tions to the ScanCard II.
It is always a good idea to remove the TV’s,
and the computer’s,AC power cords from the
wall socket before beginning the connections.
The VGA Input accepts signals from VGA and
MAC compatible computers without the need for
any additional hardware.
For PC Applications: Plug the VGA cable into
the VGA Input terminal on the back of a commer-
cial TV equipped with the Philips ScanCard II.
Then attach the other end of the VGA cable to the
VGA (RGB) Output on the back of the computer.
(Secure the plugs by tightening the thumb screws.)
Reattach the AC Power cords to the wall sockets
before powering on the units.
For Macintosh Applications: Connect the
MAC/VGA adapter to the RGB Output of a
Macintosh Series computer. Then firmly plug the
VGA cable into both the VGA Input on the TV and
the MAC/VGA adapter on the computer. (Secure
the plugs by tightening the thumb screws.)
Reattach the AC Power cords to the wall sockets
before powering on the units.
Please note: If using an educational 5200 series
Macintosh, the addition of a POWER R adapter
must be installed when making this connection.
Using the Channel ▼button select one channel
below your lowest available broadcast channel to
access the VGA Inputs.

The ScanCard II assembly is equipped with a RS 232 (Serial) Input. When a
computer’s Serial Port is hooked to the Scan
Card II through the RS 232 input, the com-
puter can control the various functions of the
television. (Refer to SmarkLink specifications
available under DNA.)
It is always a good idea to remove the TV’s,
and the computer’s, AC power cords from the
wall socket before beginning the connections.
The RS 232 (Serial) Input accepts signals from
VGA and MAC compatible computers that have
external Serial Ports.
For PC/MACs with Serial Ports: Plug a
Serial cable into the RS 232 (Serial) Input termi-
nal on the back of a commercial TV equipped
with the ScanCard II. Then attach the other end of
the Serial cable to the Serial Output Port on the
back of the computer. (Secure the plugs by tight-
ening the thumb screws.)
Reattach the AC Power cords to the wall sock-
ets before powering on the units.

REMOTE OPERATION
T
he ScanCard II Remote Control is used to operate
the functions of this ScanCard II television as well
as some other PCEC Commercial chassis units.
The three buttons located at
the bottom of the remote
(labeled SVID, VGA, and
AUX) are called “Direct
Channel Select” buttons and
are used to select the desired
input source directly from the
jack panel.
To access the on-screen menu
system follow the steps below:
Press the POWER button to
turn the TV on.
Press the SELECT (M) but-
ton to display the on-screen
menu options. These Menus
will vary depending on the
tuned channel. (Refer to the
On-Screen Menu section,
pages 24-34.)
Press the CURSOR but-
tons to navigate through the

tions will operate normally with the exception of the
BRIGHTNESS and PICTURE controls. The ScanCard II
will store a separate set of BRIGHTNESS and PICTURE
settings for VGA and non-VGA display modes. This allows
the display to be optimized for computer generated graphics
or settings that are pleasing for off-air/accessory viewing
(used with VCR, Video Disc Player, CD-i Player, etc.).
