Safety precautions and maintenance
WARNING: Use of controls, adjustments or procedures other than
those specified in this documentation may result in exposure to shock,
electrical hazards and/or mechanical hazards.
Read and follow these instructions when connecting and using your computer monitor:
●
To protect your display from possible damage, do not put excessive pressure on the LCD
panel. When moving your monitor, grasp the frame to lift; do not lift the monitor by
placing your hand or fingers on the LCD panel.
●
●
Unplug the monitor if you are not going to use it for an extensive period of time.
Unplug the monitor if you need to clean it with a slightly damp cloth. The screen may be
wiped with a dry cloth when the power is off. However, never use alcohol, solvents or
ammonia-based liquids.
●
Consult a service technician if the monitor does not operate normally when you have
followed the instructions in this manual.
●
●
●
The casing cover should be opened only by qualified service personnel.
Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight and away from stoves or any other heat source.
Remove any object that could fall into the vents or prevent proper cooling of the monitor’s
electronics.
●
●
Do not block the ventilation holes on the cabinet.
Keep the monitor dry. To avoid electric shock, do not expose it to rain or excessive
moisture.
●
●
When positioning the monitor, make sure the power plug and outlet are easily accessible.
If turning off the monitor by detaching the power cable or DC power cord, wait for 6
seconds before attaching the power cable or DC power cord for normal operation.
To avoid the risk of shock or permanent damage to the set, do not expose the monitor to
rain or excessive moisture.
IMPORTANT: Always activate a screen saver program during your application. If a still
image in high contrast remains on the screen for an extended period of time, it may leave
an 'after-image' or 'ghost image' on front of the screen. This is a well-known phenomenon
that is caused by the shortcomings inherent in LCD technology. In most cases, the
afterimage will disappear gradually over a period of time after the power has been
switched off. Be aware, that the afterimage symptom cannot be repaired and is not
covered under warranty.
●
●
●
Warning for lifting monitor - Do not use the area underneath the logo cover to grip or lift
the monitor. Placing weight on the logo cover can cause it to break away from the body
and cause the monitor to fall. When lifting the monitor, place one hand under the
monitor's frame.

audio sources.
1.1. KEY FEATURES
●
●
●
●
QInteractive3D technology offers precise 3D sound positioning with headphone and speaker output and
is compatible with DirectSound3D, EAX 1.0, EAX 2.0/I3D Level 2, and A3D enabled games.
QXpander converts ANY ordinary stereo input to virtual 3D surround sound with headphones or
speakers.
15 unique reverb environments using the exclusive QSound Environmental Modeling (QEM)
algorithms for totally immersive gaming and dramatic musical performances.
Active Dynamic Filtering found in the new QSizzle and QRumble components feature low, mid and high
frequency enrichment algorithms that help restore sonic fidelity for highly compressed digital audio files
such as MP3s and WMAs. Simply put, it makes MP3’s sound great.
●
●
QSurround creates virtual 3D surround from most of DVD movies over a two-speaker setup.
Normalization smoothes out the volume differences within audio files and reduces the volume
variations for all audio sources - automatically.
●
●
Professional style 10-Band Equalizer for precise sound tailoring of all digital audio media.
Default and user defined Presets for most settings to personalize all your games, music, and movies -
exactly the way you like it.
2. Software Installation
Note: To enjoy the 3D sound features the PSA2 drivers must be installed on the PC.
2.1. Installation Procedure
If you have not installed the PSA2 drivers yet, you should do so now. Insert the Installation CD that is included
in the package into the CD ROM drive. The operating system should detect the CD and automatically start the
installation process. Follow the on screen instructions to complete the installation process.
After the installation is complete, you may be asked to reboot the computer. After reboot, the Sound Agent icon
will appear in the Notification Area of the Windows Taskbar. See Figure 1. Please note that the number and
types of icons in the Notification Area varies from computer to computer.
3. Philips Sound Agent 2 Interface Operation
The following sections provide a detailed description of the PSA2 features.
3.1.Launching PSA2
Ensure that the Philips Multitainment Monitor is on and connected to the USB port of the PC. Otherwise the
PSA2 icon in the Taskbar Notification Area (normally the lower right hand corner of the screen) will indicate that
it is unavailable with a red "void" mark. See Figure 2.
If the monitor is on and connected to the PC USB Port, there should be no void mark on the PSA2 icon, and
you can double click the icon to launch the interface. See Figure 3.
file:///D|/My%20Documents/dfu/190G6/english/190g6/product/product.htm (8 of 20)2005-08-23 1:18:41 PM
Product Information
If PSA2 cannot launch it might be that the hardware is not connected, or the operating system cannot recognize
the Philips Multitainment Monitor.
If the Philips Multitainment Monitor is connected to the PC by a USB cable and the red void mark still present,
unplug the USB cable from the Monitor, wait two or three seconds and plug it back. It usually takes a few
seconds for the operating system to recognize and register the USB audio device.
When you first launch the PSA2 it appears as partially expanded form as shown in Figure 4. To reveal the Main
Control Panel click on the Drop-down arrow at the bottom side of the Visualization panel.
The panel contains three distinct sections, Compact, Main and Visual. You can reduce the expanded form to a
compact form using the Resize button. The Compact control Panel takes up very little space on the screen and
it contains the top-level controls. However, to set or change some of the settings, you need to expand to the
Main control panel. Use the Resize button when you need to expand the Main control panel again.
The Visualization Panel provides a graphic representation of the advanced audio processing features of the
PSA2. It also includes controls to enable the environmental effects. The Visualization Panel appears only in the
expanded mode as a sliding cover for the Main Control Panel.
The following sections contain detailed descriptions of the features of each panel.
3.2. Compact Control Panel
The Compact Control Panel contains the following controls:
file:///D|/My%20Documents/dfu/190G6/english/190g6/product/product.htm (9 of 20)2005-08-23 1:18:41 PM
Product Information
Master Volume
Master Volume controls the overall output level of the sound system. This volume control works independent of
the volume knob on the set. However, the bar code volume level indicator in the display screen of the Audio
System reflects any increase or decrease in volume produced by moving the master volume slider. Volume can
also be adjusted using the control on the Multitainment Monitor.
Mute
This button toggles the sound on or off to the speakers or headphones. Activating it mutes the output but does
not stop the playing of the music, regardless of the source of music. See Figure 5.
Resize
Resize Toggles between the compact mode (basic controls) and the expanded mode (for more advanced
options).
Close
Closes the PSA2 control panel without affecting audio operation.
Default
Pushing the Default button resets most PSA2 controls to a predefined functional state. All features except 3D
Effects are off.
Help
This button launches the on-line help system. It contains detail descriptions of all features of the PSA2 interface
and its operation.
Reverb
This button toggles the QSound Environmental Modeling (QEM) on or off. However, some games apply their
own environmental effects, which are not controlled by this button. Environmental modeling uses reverb
(reflected sound) and delay to create the impression that the listener is in a particular environment.
QEM provides a wide range of high-quality environmental modeling effects that are selectable from the
Visualization panel. By selecting a default environment, you impose the effects of that environment for music,
movies, or games that do not use the EAX feature.
PSA2 responds automatically to games that use the EAX and EAX2.0 commands. These games automatically
control the selection of environments (regardless of what is selected from the Visualization panel) to match
various scenes and locations, and change these selections as the environment changes. The applied intensity
of reverb is controllable by a slider in the Visualization panel. If the level of Reverb is not as expected, check
the slider in the Visualization panel and adjust properly.

utilizing the 2D to 3D remixing feature. The button label illuminates when 3D Effects are enabled. To enable
automatic audio features such as QSurround, and QXpander this feature must be enabled
EQ
Toggles the 10-band Equalizer on and off. The button label lights up when the Equalizer is enabled. When the
button is not activated the EQ remains inoperative.
3.3. Main Control Panel
The Main Control Panel is in the center of the expanded mode, and it provides access to advanced settings for
most PSA2 controls, which are grouped in five separate tabs. See Figure 6.
If only the Compact control panel is visible, you must expand it by clicking on the Resize button on the right
hand corner, next to the Close icon.
If the Visualization Panel is covering the Main Control Panel, slide the Visualization Panel cover down to reveal
the Main Control Panel by clicking on the arrow at the middle of the lower edge of the Visualization Panel.
Once the Main Control Panel is open, you can choose any of the tabs to select the desired set of controls. The
following is a description of each tab from left to right:
file:///D|/My%20Documents/dfu/190G6/english/190g6/product/product.htm (11 of 20)2005-08-23 1:18:41 PM
Product Information
3.3.1. Effects Tab
The Effects Tab is the first of the Main Control Panel tabs. Below is a description of all the features on the
Effects tab.
QSizzle
QSizzle is a mid and high frequency (treble) enhancement algorithm that helps to compensate for the loss of
presence, punch and signal detail that often results from compressed digital media, such as MP3 and WMA
formats.
QSizzle self-adjusts in real time according to frequency response of the input signal. This is different from the
Equalizer, which is a fixed frequency processor. The Equalizer does not monitor the input signal or perform self-
adjustment. The label QSizzle Active appears in illuminated text when QSizzle is enabled, and QSizzle Off
when disabled.
QRumble
QRumble is a powerful low frequency enhancement algorithm that helps to compensate for loss of bass that
may result from compressed digital media such as MP3’s or WMA formats.
QRumble responds in real time to the varying nature of the input signal, automatically adjusting itself
accordingly. This is very different from the Equalizer, which is a static frequency processor. The Equalizer does
not monitor the input signal or perform self-adjustment.
The label QRumble Active appears in illuminated text when QRumble is enabled, and QRumble Off when
disabled.
Normalization
Normalization automatically adjusts the volume variations in various audio files or streams. Quieter signals are
amplified to match the level of louder ones, so that the listening volume maintains a consistent level. This
means that when playing files with various output levels, the need to constantly adjust your speaker volume is
minimized.
The label Normalization Active appears in illuminated text when Normalization is enabled, and Normalization
Off when disabled.
3D Effects
Three separate 3D audio enhancement algorithms are provided to maximize the spatial experience no matter
what the combination of signal type and output hardware.
When 3D Effects are enabled, the audio processor will automatically choose the appropriate algorithm (3D
mode) according to your output configuration and the type of input signal. The 3D Effects indicator LED's on
front panel and the indicators on the Effects Tab illuminate to show which algorithm is active at any given time.
QXpander
Optimizes stereo input played over speakers or headphones. When QXpander is active it provides a wider
sound field far exceeding physical position of the speakers.
QSurround
Optimizes a multi-channel source (e.g. a 5.1 channel DVD) to create "virtual" speakers and immerse the
listener in surround sound.
file:///D|/My%20Documents/dfu/190G6/english/190g6/product/product.htm (12 of 20)2005-08-23 1:18:41 PM
Product Information
3.3. 2. Equalizer Tab
The Equalizer (EQ) controls the frequency response of the system by increasing or decreasing the frequency
response of ten independent frequency bands.
This Equalizer works very much the same as the equalizers in high quality sound systems. Each slider controls
the relative level of a band (range) of frequencies. The number listed above each slider column is the center
frequency of the band controlled by that slider. When a slider is set to the center position, frequencies within
this band left flat and the gain is 0dB. See Figure 7.
To boost the level of a given band, move its slider above the centerline. To cut the relative level of a given
band, move its slider below the centerline. Maximum boost or cut is ± 12dB on each frequency level.
Sliders can be individually centered by right clicking anywhere within the slider area, or collectively by clicking
the Reset button on top right corner of the panel. Clicking the default button on the compact panel can also
collectively center the sliders. Please note that the default button resets several other features as well.
3.3.3. Setup Tab
Speaker Test Utility
The Speaker Test Utility can be used to verify that speakers and/or headphones are operating properly.
file:///D|/My%20Documents/dfu/190G6/english/190g6/product/product.htm (13 of 20)2005-08-23 1:18:41 PM
Product Information
The test utility highlights each speaker that is being tested. See Figure 8. Click any speaker icon to send the

you can click the left or right headphone icon instead.
The Loop test button allows the test to repeat until the Stop button is pressed. If the Loop is off, the sound will
play once for each click of a speaker or headphone icon.
The Auto button sends the test sound to each output once and then moves to the next one automatically. If the
Loop and the Auto buttons are used in conjunction, the test signal will loop through the available outputs until
the Stop button is pressed.
Preamp Slider
The Preamp Level control allows you to boost the input audio signal before it is processed by the PSA2. It has
a similar effect as the master volume, but should not be used instead of it.
NOTE: Increasing the PreAmp may cause audio distortion on some high level input signals. In some cases, an
input signal can be of such amplitude that audio distortion can occur at the preamp default level. If this is the
case simply lower the preamp level to help eliminate any distortion.
Subwoofer Slider
The Subwoofer Level control enables you to set the level of the derived Subwoofer output relative to the left

Product Information
The Preset system enables you to save the state of PSA2 controls once you have made adjustments to
customize your listening experience, so you can recall settings for any source and playback environment.
For example, if you have been listening to music with predominant drums and bass and have adjusted the
controls to suit your taste, you can quickly save a preset called “Drums’n’Bass”. Whenever you listen to this
type of music again, simply load this preset, and all the controls will return to the settings you had in effect when
you saved it.
Sound Agent 2 comes with four factory presets as listed on the Presets tab.The Multitainment Monitor has four
buttons that also enable you to select the factory Presets. The following is a description of each feature on the
Presets tab.

Note: sRGB is a standard for ensuring correct exchange of colors between different devices (e.g. digital cameras,
monitors, printers, scanners, etc.)
Using a standard unified color space, sRGB will help represent pictures taken by an sRGB compatible device
correctly on your sRGB enabled Philips monitors. In that way, the colors are calibrated and you can rely on the
correctness of the colors shown on your screen.
Important with the use of sRGB is that the brightness and contrast of your monitor is fixed to a predefined setting as
well as the color gamut. Therefore it is important to select the sRGB setting in the monitor's OSD.
To do so, open the OSD by pressing the OK button on the side of your monitor. Move the down button to go to Color
and press OK again. Use the right button to go to sRGB. Then move the down button and press OK again to exit the
OSD.
After this, please do not change the brightness or contrast setting of your monitor. If you change either of these, the
monitor will exit the sRGB mode and go to a color temperature setting of 6500K.

1280x1024@60Hz (19").
5. Shut down your computer, disconnect your old monitor and reconnect your Philips LCD
monitor.
6. Turn on your monitor and then turn on your PC.
Q: What does 'refresh rate' mean in connection with an LCD monitor?
A: The refresh rate is of much less relevance for LCD monitors. LCD monitors display a
stable, flicker-free image at 60Hz. There is no visible difference between 85Hz and 60Hz.
Q: What are the .inf and .icm files on the CD-ROM? How do I install the drivers (.inf and .
icm)?
A: These are the driver files for your monitor. Follow the instructions in your user manual to
install the drivers. Your computer may ask you for monitor drivers (.inf and .icm files) or a
driver disk when you first install your monitor. Follow the instructions to insert the
( companion CD-ROM) included in this package. Monitor drivers (.inf and .icm files) will be
installed automatically.
Q: How do I adjust the resolution?
A: Your video card/graphic driver and monitor together determine the available resolutions.
You can select the desired resolution under Windows® Control Panel with the "Display
properties".

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q: What if I get lost when I am making monitor adjustments?
A: Simply press the OSD button, then select 'Factory Reset' to recall all of the original
factory settings.
Q: What is the Auto function?
A: The AUTO adjustment key restores the optimal screen position, phase and clock settings
at the press of a single button – without the need to navigate through OSD menus and
control keys.
Q: My Monitor has no power (Power LED does not light up). What should I do?
A: Make sure the AC power cord is connected to the Monitor.
Q: Will the LCD monitor accept an Interlace signal?
A: No. If an Interlace signal is used, the screen displays both odd and even horizontal
scanning lines at the same time, thus distorting the picture.
Q: What does the Refresh Rate mean for LCD?
A: Unlike CRT display technology, in which the speed of the electron beam is swept from
the top to the bottom of the screen determines flicker, an active matrix display uses an
active element (TFT) to control each individual pixel and the refresh rate is therefore not
really applicable to LCD technology.
Q: Will the LCD screen be resistant to scratches?
A: A protective coating is applied to the surface of the LCD, which is durable to a certain
extent (approximately up to the hardness of a 2H pencil). In general, it is recommended that
the panel surface is not subject to any excessive shocks or scratches. An optional
protective cover with greater scratch resistance is also available.
Q: How should I clean the LCD surface?

A: For normal cleaning, use a clean, soft cloth. For extensive cleaning, please use isopropyl
alcohol. Do not use other solvents such as ethyl alcohol, ethanol, acetone, hexane, etc.
Screen Adjustments
Q: What is the FPadjust program on the CD-ROM?
A: The FPadjust program generates alignment patterns that help you adjust monitor settings
such as Contrast, Brightness, Horizontal Position, Vertical Position, Phase and Clock for
optimal performance.
Q: When I install my monitor, how do I get the best performance from the monitor?
A:
1. For best performance, make sure your display settings are set at 1280x1024@60Hz for 19".
2. To install the Flat Panel Adjust (FPadjust) program located on the monitor setup CD-ROM,
open the CD-ROM and double-click the FP_setup04.exe icon. This will install FP Adjust
automatically and place a shortcut on your desktop.
3. Run FPadjust by double clicking the shortcut. Follow the instructions step by step to optimize
image performance with your system's video controller.
Q: How do LCDs compare to CRTs in terms of radiation?
A: Because LCDs do not use an electron gun, they do not generate the same amount of
radiation at the screen surface.
Compatibility with other Peripherals
Q: Can I connect my LCD monitor to any PC, workstation or Mac?
A: Yes. All Philips LCD monitors are fully compatible with standard PCs, Macs and
workstations. You may need a cable adapter to connect the monitor to your Mac system.

Q: Are Philips LCD monitors Plug-and-Play?
A: Yes, the monitors are Plug-and-Play compatible with Windows® 95, 98, 2000 and XP.
LCD Panel Technology
Q: What is a Liquid Crystal Display?
A: A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is an optical device that is commonly used to display
ASCII characters and images on digital items such as watches, calculators, portable game
consoles, etc. LCD is the technology used for displays in notebooks and other small
computers. Like light-emitting diode and gas-plasma technologies, LCD allows displays to
be much thinner than cathode ray tube (CRT) technology. LCD consumes much less power
than LED and gas-displays because it works on the principle of blocking light rather than
emitting it.
Q: How are LCDs made?
A: LCDs are created from two glass plates separated from each other at a distance of a few
microns. The plates are filled with liquid crystal and then sealed together. The top plate is
colored with an RGB pattern to make the color filter. Polarizers are then glued to both plates.
This combination is sometimes called 'glass' or 'cell.' The LCD cell is assembled into a
'module' by adding the backlight, driver electronics and frame.
Q: What is polarization ?
A: Polarization is basically directing light to shine in one direction. Light is electromagnetic
waves. Electric and magnetic fields oscillate in a direction perpendicular to the propagation
of the light beam. The direction of these fields is called the 'polarization direction'. Normal or
non-polarized light has fields in several directions; polarized light has a field in only one
direction.
Q: What differentiates passive matrix LCDs from active matrix LCDs?
file:///D|/My%20Documents/dfu/190G6/english/190g6/safety/saf_faq.htm (4 of 7)2005-08-23 1:19:08 PM
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
A: An LCD is made with either a passive matrix or an active matrix display grid. An active
matrix has a transistor located at each pixel intersection, requiring less current to control
the luminance of a pixel. For this reason, the current in an active matrix display can be
switched on and off more frequently, improving the screen refresh time (your mouse pointer
will appear to move more smoothly across the screen, for example). The passive matrix LCD
has a grid of conductors with pixels located at each intersection in the grid.
Q: How does a TFT LCD Panel work?
A: On each column and row of the TFT LCD panel, a data source drive and a gate drive are
attached, respectively. The TFT drain of each cell is connected to the electrode. The
molecular arrangement of liquid crystal elements differ according to whether it is impressed
with voltage or not. It varies the direction of polarized light and the amount of light by letting
it through different arrays of liquid crystal elements. When two polarized filters are arranged
vertically on a polarized light pole, the light that passes through the upper polarized panel is
turned 90 degrees along with the spiral structure of the liquid crystal molecules and goes
through the polarized filter at the bottom. When impressed with voltage, liquid crystal
molecules are arranged vertically from the original spiral structure and the direction of the
light is not turned through 90 degrees. In this case, light that comes through the top
polarized panel may not go through the polarized panel at the bottom.
Q: What are the advantages of TFT LCD compared with CRT?
A: In a CRT monitor, a gun shoots electrons and general light by colliding polarized
electrons on fluorescent glass. Therefore, CRT monitors basically operate with an analog
RGB signal. A TFT LCD monitor is a device that displays an input image by operating a
liquid crystal panel. The TFT has a fundamentally different structure than a CRT: Each cell
has an active matrix structure and independent active elements. A TFT LCD has two glass
panels and the space between them is filled with liquid crystal. When each cell is connected
with electrodes and impressed with voltage, the molecular structure of the liquid crystal is
altered and controls the amount of inlet lighting to display images. A TFT LCD has several
advantages over a CRT, since it can be very thin and no flickering occurs because it does
not use the scanning method.
Q: Why is vertical frequency of 60Hz optimal for an LCD monitor?
A: Unlike a CRT monitor, the TFT LCD panel has a fixed resolution. For example, an XGA
monitor has 1024x3 (R, G, B) x 768 pixels and a higher resolution may not be available
without additional software processing. The panel is designed to optimize the display for a
65MHz dot clock, one of the standards for XGA displays. Since the vertical/horizontal
frequency for this dot clock is 60Hz/48kHz, the optimum frequency for this monitor is 60Hz.
Q: What kind of wide-angle technology is available? How does it work?
A: The TFT LCD panel is an element that controls/displays the inlet of a backlight using the

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
dual-refraction of a liquid crystal. Using the property that the projection of inlet light refracts
toward the major axis of the liquid element, it controls the direction of inlet light and
displays it. Since the refraction ratio of inlet light on liquid crystal varies with the inlet angle
of the light, the viewing angle of a TFT is much narrower than that of a CDT. Usually, the
viewing angle refers to the point where the contrast ration is 10. Many ways to widen the
viewing angle are currently being developed and the most common approach is to use a
wide viewing angle film, which widens the viewing angle by varying the refraction ratio. IPS
(In Plane Switching) or MVA (Multi Vertical Aligned) is also used to give a wider viewing
angle.
Q: Why is there no flicker on an LCD Monitor?
A: Technically speaking, LCDs do flicker, but the cause of the phenomenon is different from
that of a CRT monitor -- and it has no impact of the ease of viewing. Flickering in an LCD
monitor relates to usually undetectable luminance caused by the difference between
positive and negative voltage. On the other hand, CRT flickering that can irritate the human
eye occurs when the on/off action of the fluorescent object becomes visible. Since the
reaction speed of liquid crystal in an LCD panel is much slower, this troublesome form of
flickering is not present in an LCD display.
Q: Why is an LCD monitor virtually free of Electro Magnetic Interference?
A: Unlike a CRT, an LCD monitor does not have key parts that generate Electro Magnetic
Interference, especially magnetic fields. Also, since an LCD display utilizes relatively low
power, its power supply is extremely quiet.
Ergonomics, Ecology and Safety Standards
Q: What is the CE mark?
A: The CE (Conformité Européenne) mark is required to be displayed on all regulated
products offered for sale on the European market. This 'CE' mark means that a product
complies with the relevant European Directive. A European Directive is a European 'Law'
that relates to health, safety, environment and consumer protection, much the same as the U.
S. National Electrical Code and UL Standards.
