Philips Matchline 28PW9617 User manual

Information for users in the UK
(Not applicable outside the UK)
Positioning the TV
For the best results, choose a position where light does not fall directly on the screen, and at some distance away from radiators
or other sources of heat. Leave a space of at least 5 cm all around the TV for ventilation, making sure that curtains, cupboards etc.
cannot obstruct the air flow through the ventilation apertures.
The TV is intended for use in a domestic environment only and should never be operated or stored in excessively hot or humid
atmospheres.
General Points
Please take note of the section 'Tips' at the end of this booklet.
Interference
The Department of Trade and Industry operates a Radio Interference Investigation Service to help TV license holders improve
reception of BBC and IBA programmes where they are being spoilt by interference.
If your dealer cannot help, ask at a main Post Office for the booklet "How to improve Television and Radio Reception".
Mains connection
Before connecting the TV to the mains, check that the mains supply voltage corresponds to the voltage printed on the type plate
on the rear panel of the TV. If the mains voltage is different, consult your dealer.
Important
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug.
To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows :
1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2. Fit new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A,A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3. Refit the fuse cover.
In order to maintain conformity to the EMC directive, the mains plug on this product must not be removed.
Connecting the aerial
The aerial should be connected to the socket marked xat the back of the set. An inferior aerial is likely to result in a poor, per-
haps unstable picture with ghost images and lack of contrast. Make-shift or set-top aerials are unlikely to give adequate results.
Your dealer will know from experience the most suitable type for your locality.
Should you wish to use the set in conjunction with other equipment, which connects to the aerial socket such as TV games, or a
video camera, it is recommended that you consult your dealer on the best method of connection.
Stand (if provided)
Use only the stand provided with the set, making sure that the fixings are properly tightened.A diagram showing how to assemble
the stand is packed with the stand. Never use a make-shift stand, or legs fixed with woodscrews.

NEXTVIEW provider
Most broadcasters in Europe are offering teletext pages
containing the day’s programme schedule.These pages can
be requested by switching the TV to Teletext Guide.
An increasing number of broadcasters are offering an
extended programme guide service called NEXTVIEW.
NEXTVIEW is a new way of presenting programme
schedules and offers more features than basic teletext.
With NEXTVIEW it is possible to show for instance all the
movies or children programmes for tonight or the
following days.
If you select None as NEXTVIEW provider, the TV will
capture all data from the available TV channels which
broadcast NEXTVIEW. Broadcaster defined menus will not
be available.
If you select a programme number of a TV channel stored
in the favourite list as NEXTVIEW provider, the selected TV
channel will provide NEXTVIEW data and additional
information of its own broadcasts as well as from other
(non selected) TV channels.
Normally you will select the NEXTVIEW provider that
transmits most information in your language.You can make
the best selection via information from TV announcements
or from the newspapers.
Important:
In order for NEXTVIEW to function properly, the first TV channel
from the favourite list should also broadcast the correct local
date and time via teletext.
Please check at startup if the time and date are correct in the
NEXTVIEW screen.
Remark:
Not all TV channels support NEXTVIEW.
How to make use of NEXTVIEW, see p. 20.
Press the cursor left/right to select the input used to
connect to your decoder Off,EXT1 or EXT2.

video recorder.
When selecting the decoder, the message EasyLink:

Sound Setup menu
Auto Surround
Sometimes the broadcaster transmits special signals for
Surround Sound encoded programmes.
The TV automatically switches to the best surround sound
mode when Auto Surround is switched On.
However it is possible to overwrite this setting.
Wireless Surround
The system has already been configured in the factory to
work properly.
In rare circumstances, interference from external RF
(wireless) equipment such as RF headphones, mobile phones
or remote controls for lights, may occur.Then it may be
necessary to shift to another wireless channel.
Use the cursor left/right to select another channel.
Important:
Always be sure that the active surround speaker and the
Wireless Surround setting are switched to the same
transmitting channel. Otherwise no sound or only a
distorted sound will be heard on the surround speakers.
When the TV is tuned to a channel in the neighbourhood of
864 MHz (433 MHz in case you purchased a TV with a
typenumber in the range 28-32PW9617/01 or /58 or 32-
36PW9767/01 or /58), the transmitter is switched off because no
RF surround sound is possible.This is necessary to avoid interfered
picture.You can improve the picture quality by using the
suppressor aerial cable supplied.
In rare cases, when no RF surround sound is possible or
when there is too much interference, use the wired back up
solution with a 3.5 mm stereo jack. In this case select Off in
the Wireless surround menu item. See Connect Peripheral
equipment, p. 28.
