2 Important  
Read and understand all instructions before you  
use yourTV. If damage is caused by failure to  
follow instructions, the warranty does not apply.  
Safety  
Risk of electric shock or fire!  
Never expose the TV to rain or  
water. Never place liquid containers,  
such as vases, near the TV. If  
liquids are spilt on or into the TV,  
disconnect the TV from the power  
outlet immediately. Contact Philips  
Consumer Care to have the TV  
checked before use.  
Risk of injury to children! Follow these  
precautions to prevent the TV from  
toppling over and causing injury to  
children:  
Never place the TV on a surface  
covered by a cloth or other material  
that can be pulled away.  
Never place the TV, remote control  
or batteries near naked flames or  
other heat sources, including direct  
sunlight.  
Ensure that no part of the TV hangs  
over the edge of the surface.  
Never place the TV on tall furniture  
(such as a bookcase) without  
anchoring both the furniture and TV  
to the wall or a suitable support.  
Educate children about the dangers  
of climbing on furniture to reach the  
TV.  
To prevent the spread of fire, keep  
candles or other flames away from  
the TV, remote control and batteries  
at all times.  
Risk of overheating! Never install the  
TV in a confined space. Always leave a  
space of at least 4 inches around the TV  
for ventilation. Ensure curtains or other  
objects never cover the ventilation slots  
on the TV.  
Risk of damage to the TV! Before you  
connect the TV to the power outlet,  
ensure that the power voltage matches  
the value printed on the back of the TV.  
Never connect the TV to the power  
outlet if the voltage is different.  
Risk of injury, fire or power cord damage!  
Never place the TV or any objects on the  
power cord.  
To easily disconnect the TV power cord  
from the power outlet, ensure that you  
have full access to the power cord at all  
times.  
When you disconnect the power cord,  
always pull the plug, never the cable.  
Never insert objects into the  
ventilation slots or other openings on  
the TV.  
When the TV is swivelled ensure  
that no strain is exerted on the  
power cord. Strain on the power  
cord can loosen connections and  
cause arcing.  
Risk of short circuit or fire!  
Never expose the remote control or  
batteries to rain, water or excessive  
heat.  
Avoid force coming onto power  
plugs. Loose power plugs can cause  
arcing or fire.  
Risk of injury or damage to the TV!  
Two people are required to lift and  
carry a TV that weights more than  
25 kg.  
4
EN  
Disconnect the TV from the power outlet  
and aerial before lightning storms. During  
lightning storms, never touch any part of  
the TV, power cord or aerial cable.  
Risk of hearing damage! Avoid using  
earphones or headphones at high  
volumes or for prolonged periods of time.  
If the TV is transported in temperatures  
below 5°C, unpack the TV and wait  
until the TV temperature matches room  
temperature before connecting the TV to  
the power outlet.  
Recycling  
Your product is designed and manufactured  
with high quality materials and components,  
which can be recycled and reused.  
When you see the crossed-out wheeled bin  
symbol attached to a product, it means the  
product is covered by the European Directive  
2002/96/EC:  
Screen care  
Avoid stationary images as much as  
possible. Stationary images are images  
that remain on-screen for extended  
periods of time. Examples include:  
on-screen menus, black bars and time  
displays. If you must use stationary  
images, reduce screen contrast and  
brightness to avoid screen damage.  
Unplug the TV before cleaning.  
Clean the TV and frame with a soft,  
damp cloth. Never use substances such as  
alcohol, chemicals or household cleaners  
on the TV.  
Never dispose of your product with other  
household waste. Please inform yourself about  
the local rules on the separate collection of  
electrical and electronic products. The correct  
disposal of your old product helps prevent  
potentially negative consequences for the  
environment and human health.  
Your product contains batteries covered by  
the European Directive 2006/66/EC, which  
cannot be disposed of with normal household  
waste.  
Risk of damage to the TV screen! Never  
touch, push, rub or strike the screen with  
any object.  
To avoid deformations and colour fading,  
wipe off water drops as soon as possible.  
Please inform yourself about the local rules  
on the separate collection of batteries. The  
correct disposal of batteries helps prevent  
potentially negative consequences for the  
environment and human health.

9. Pixel policy  
Philips strives to deliver the highest quality  
products.We use some of the industry's  
most advanced manufacturing processes and  
practice stringent quality control. However, pixel  
or sub pixel defects on theTFT LCD panels  
used in flat panel monitors are sometimes  
unavoidable. No manufacturer can guarantee  
that all panels will be free from pixel defects,  
but Philips guarantees that any monitor with  
an unacceptable number of defects will be  
repaired or replaced under warranty.This notice  
explains the different types of pixel defects and  
defines acceptable defect levels for each type. In  
order to qualify for repair or replacement under  
warranty, the number of pixel defects on aTFT  
LCD panel must exceed these acceptable levels.  
For example, no more than 0.0004% of the sub  
pixels on a 19" XGA monitor may be defective.  
Furthermore, Philips sets even higher quality  
standards for certain types or combinations  
of pixel defects that are more noticeable than  
others.This policy is valid worldwide.

OAD update:  
If using digital broadcast, yourTV would  
automatically receive software updates.When  
it is active, you will receive a message on your  
screen asking you to update your software. Just  
follow the instruction on the message to make  
your choice and complete the settings.  
Pixels and Sub pixels  
A pixel, or picture element, is composed of  
three sub pixels in the primary colors of red,  
green and blue. Many pixels together form an  
image.When all sub pixels of a pixel are lit,  
the three colored sub pixels together appear  
as a single white pixel.When all are dark, the  
three colored sub pixels together appear as a  
single black pixel. Other combinations of lit and  
dark sub pixels appear as single pixels of other  
colors.  
24  
Types of Pixel Defects  
Note  
Pixel and sub pixel defects appear on the  
screen in different ways.There are two  
categories of pixel defects and several types of  
sub pixel defects within each category.  
A red or blue bright dot must be more than 50  
percent brighter than neighboring dots while  
a green bright dot is 30 percent brighter than  
neighboring dots.  
Black Dot Defects Black dot defects appear as  
pixels or sub pixels that are always dark or 'off'.  
That is, a dark dot is a sub-pixel that stands  
out on the screen when the monitor displays a  
light pattern.These are the types of black dot  
Bright Dot Defects Bright dot defects appear  
as pixels or sub pixels that are always lit or 'on'.  
That is, a bright dot is a sub-pixel that stands  
out on the screen when the monitor displays a  
dark pattern.There are the types of bright dot  
defects:  
defects:  
One lit red, green or blue sub pixel  
Proximity of Pixel Defects  
Because pixel and sub pixels defects of the  
same type that are near to one another may be  
more noticeable, Philips also specifies tolerances  
for the proximity of pixel defects.  
Two adjacent lit sub pixels:  
-
-
Red + Blue = Purple  
Red + Green =Yellow  
-
Green + Blue = Cyan (Light Blue)  
Pixel DefectTolerances  
In order to qualify for repair or replacement  
due to pixel defects during the warranty period,  
aTFT LCD panel in a Philips flat panel monitor  
must have pixel or sub pixel defects exceeding  
the tolerances listed in the following tables.  
Three adjacent lit sub pixels (one white pixel)

TV channel issues  
10.Troubleshooting  
Previously installed channels do not appear in  
the channel list:  
Check that the correct channel list is  
selected.  
This section describes commonly encountered  
issues and accompanying solutions.  
No digital channels were found during the

Check that the TV supports DVB-T or  
DVB-C in your country. See the listed  
countries on the back of the TV.  
GeneralTV issues  
TheTV does not switch on:  
Disconnect the power cable from the  
power outlet. Wait for one minute then  
reconnect it.  
Check that the power cable is securely  
connected.  
Picture issues  
TheTV is on, but there is no picture:  
Check that the antenna is properly  
connected to the TV.  
The remote control is not working properly:  
Check that the correct device is selected  
as the TV source.  
Check that the remote control batteries  
are correctly inserted according to the

Loud speakers, unearthed audio devices,  
neon lights, high buildings and other large  
objects can influence reception quality.  
If possible, try to improve the reception  
quality by changing the antenna direction  
or moving devices away from the TV.  
If reception on only one channel is poor,  
fine tune this channel.  
TheTV menu is in the wrong language  
Change the TV menu to your preferred  
language.  
When turning theTV on/off/to standby, you  
hear a creaking sound from theTV chassis:  
There is poor picture quality from connected  
devices:  
No action is required. The creaking sound  
is normal expansion and contraction of  
the TV as it cools and warms up. This  
does not impact performance.  
Check that the devices are connected  
properly.  
Check that the picture settings are  
correctly set.  
TheTV did not save your picture settings:  
Check that the TV location is set to the  
home setting. This mode offers you the  
flexibility to change and save settings.  
27  
The picture does not fit the screen; it is too  
big or too small:  
If a HDMI-to-DVI adaptor or HDMI to  
DVI cable is used, check that an additional  
audio cable is connected to AUDIO L/R  
or AUDIO IN (mini-jack only).  
Try using a different picture format.  
The picture position is incorrect:  
Picture signals from some devices may  
not fit the screen correctly. Check the  
signal output of the device.  
Computer connection issues  
The computer display on theTV is not stable:  
Sound issues  
Check that a supported resolution and  
refresh rate is selected on the computer.  
Set the TV picture format to unscaled.  
There is a picture but no sound from theTV:

this does not indicate malfunction.  
When should I use SmartContrast feature?  
SmartContrast feature is designed for  
enhancing movies as well as playing some  
games, as it enhances contrast ratio in  
dark moving scenes.  
Check that all cables are properly  
connected.  
Check that the volume is not set to 0.  
Check that the sound is not muted.  
Factory default is “Off”  
There is a picture but the sound quality is

Power LED turn on for Auto program update  
There is a picture but sound comes from  
one speaker only:  
In a case of auto s/w update, the unit will  
be turned on automatically for software  
updates. There will be no video or audio  
when doing the updates. The unit will also  
be returned to normal when software  
updates are completed.  
Verify that sound balance is set to the  
centre.  
HDMI connection issues  
Timing setting:  
Suggest do the time setting after scan  
There are problems with HDMI devices:  
TV channels to synchronize the time  
zone. This will facilitate any auto software  
updates being active in the right and  
designated time period provided by the  
TV broadcasting system makers.  
Note that HDCP support can delay the  
time taken for a TV to display content  
from a HDMI device.  
If the TV does not recognise the HDMI  
device and no picture is displayed, try  
switching the source from one device to  
another and back again.  
If there are intermittent sound  
disruptions, check that output settings  
from the HDMI device are correct.
