listening pleasure, surround sound jacks make this model
surround sound ready. Simply connect two standard 8 ohm
speakers. All the necessary surround sound technology is
built-in the TV!

the back of this set includes audio/video inputs for connection
of a VCR, DVD player, web browser or other accessory
equipment; both fixed and variable audio outputs which allow
sound from TV or accessories to be routed through a home
audio system; S-Video input for connection of a high-

SMARTSURF™ Eliminates the frustration of
trying to remember what channels had programs of
interest while channel surfing. After establishing the
SmartSurf™configuration with the user-friendly
menu, the viewer can store up to ten stations in the
SmartSurf™memory and then surf only those channels
at the touch of a button. The versatility of this feature
is enhanced by the availability of an on-screen list of
the channels stored and offers the option of adding or
deleting channels in the list by remote control.
SMARTCLOCK™ Finally, an accurate digital clock
that’s always right! By monitoring the vertical
blanking interval of PBS broadcasts, Philips Magnavox
TVs equipped with SmartClock can automatically set the
right time of day and maintain it through brown-outs,
power failures, and even daylight savings time
adjustments.
SMARTMUTE™ An audio mute advancement that
automatically activates closed captioning when the
mute button is pressed. Now dialogue and narratives
(on Closed Caption telecasts) can be displayed on
screen whenever the mute button is pressed, without
the aid of an optional, external decoding device.
EASY FIRST TIME SET-UP This friendly, useful,
smart, and easy feature is available the first time this
TV is turned on with a signal connected. SETUP is
highlighted in the main on-screen menu offering
language selection (English, Spanish, or French), auto
cable select (choice of CATV or ANTENNA), auto
program (automatically storing all available channels
in the tuner memory), and VCR/PIP setup.
ON-SCREEN CLOCK WITH SLEEP TIMER AND
ALARM TIMER The correct time appears on screen
for a few seconds whenever channels are changed,
the status/exit button on the remote control is
pushed, or when the Channel Reminder feature is
engaged. The Sleep Timer automatically turns off the
TV at a pre-set time of up to 120 minutes from the
time the feature is activated. Sleep timer settings are
programmed in 15-minute increments. The Alarm
Timer automatically turns on the TV on a pre-selected
channel at a pre-set time of up to 12 hours from the
time it was set. Alarm timer settings are programmed
in 15-minute increments.

TRILINGUAL ON-SCREEN DISPLAY On-screen
displays assist in selecting preferred picture
performance levels, choice of regular or cable viewing
source, and indicate the activation of special features.
Displays may be put on screen in the viewer’s choice
of English, Spanish or French.
AUTO PROGRAMMING When activated, this

regular antenna or cable–and programs only active
broadcast stations into memory. Channel up or down

SMARTSOUND™ When activated,
SmartSound™ keeps volume levels constant between
programs and commercials, and from one channel to
another. SmartSound™ constantly monitors the audio
signal, reducing a signal that’s too loud and increasing
a signal that’s too weak.
dbx®HI-FI STEREO SOUND SYSTEM WITH
SURROUND SOUND JACKS The stereo sound
system built into this monitor/receiver incorporates
an MTS/SAP decoder which permits reception and
reproduction of broadcast stereo television programs,
as well as Second Audio Program transmissions
(where available). It also features spatial stereo sound,
bass boost for enhanced low frequency reproduction,
and individual bass, treble, and balance controls for
personal listening preference. dbx®noise reduction
eliminates hiss and high-frequency interference from
the stereo sound reproduction. Connection of
optional, accessory speakers to the surround sound
jacks puts the listener in the center of a more
realistic, expanded sound stage.
• INCREDIBLE STEREO™
• TONE CONTROLS
MAGNAVUE™ A unique combination of contrast
enhancement and color enrichment technology
that produces deeper, more vibrant colors with
an unrivaled picture that’s larger than life.
TWO-TUNER PIP Now you can enjoy all the
benefits of Smart Window™ PIP without a
VCR! With two separate tuners (and two
separate tuner inputs) you can tune to your
favorite show with tuner one, for example,
while scanning other channels with tuner two in
the PIP window. The A/V inputs are also
available as a PIP source so all functions of
standard PIP are still accessible. The main and
secondary pictures may be swapped; position
secondary pictures in any screen corner; even
freeze the main picture information and put it
into the inset picture. In all cases, the main
picture is provided with its corresponding
audio. A “size select” menu function permits
the viewer to reduce the size of the inset
picture by approximately 50%.
COMB FILTER With up to 640 lines of
horizontal resolution1, this set provides razor-
sharp picture performance and breathtaking
clarity (through A/V input jacks).

MAGNAGLO™ REMOTE CONTROL No
more fumbling in the dark to access TV and
VCR functions. Just press the glow-in-the-dark
STATUS button on the remote control and the
electroluminescent circuitry makes all buttons
on the remote control glow.
REMOTE LOCATOR™ Should this set’s
remote control ever be misplaced, simply
push the power button on the set itself to activate
the remote locator system. The words
“Locating Remote” appear on the screen and
the remote control beeps – leading you right to
it. Touching any key on the remote disengages
the beeping.
