Pre-connection Recommendations
Positioning theTV
Situate the TV where
it will not be exposed
to heat or moisture.
Before connecting accessory devices—VCR,
DVD player, or HD satellite receiver, for exam-
ple—please keep the following in mind:
• Place the TV on a flat surface. An unlevel sur-
face may adversely affect picture perform-
ance.
For safety, do not
set objects on top
of the TV.
• Do not place the TV on shag carpet or any
surface that will block the ventilation open-
ings at the bottom of the set. Blockage will
cause the TV to overheat and shut down.
• Allow 4 to 6 inches of space behind the TV
for ventilation.
• An optional swivel and an optional stand are
available for use with your TV. See your elec-
tronics dealer.
Allow 4 to 6 inch-
es behind the TV
for ventilation.
Place the TV on
a flat surface.
• Test various locations in the room to find the
optimal spot to locate the set for best viewing.
• Do not place the TV in direct sunlight or near
a heating appliance.
• Do not expose the TV to rain or moisture.
• To prevent any unsafe situations, do not place
objects on top of the TV.
Providing Protection Against Power
Surges
• Connect all accessory devices before you
plug any of their power cords into the wall
outlet or power strip. NEVER plug your TV
into an outlet that is controlled by a wall
switch.
Do not place the TV on a surface that will block
the air filters located underneath the set.
• Turn off the TV and/or accessory devices
before you connect or disconnect any cables.
• Ensure that all antennas and cables are prop-
erly grounded. See page 3, “Important Safety
Instructions.”
Protecting Accessory Devices from
Overheating
• Arrange accessory devices so that air can cir-
culate freely around them.

capable of operating all models of the brands
of accessory devices listed on pages 24–25.

mode by simultaneously pressing the Select
button and a digit button, 1–4. Using digit 1
will set the time-out to 15 seconds; digit 2, 30
seconds; digit 3, 60 seconds; and digit 4, 120

you replace the batteries in the remote is 60
seconds. All modes will have the same time-
out setting.

sory modes (a mode light is flashing)—
CBL, VCR, DVD, SAT, AMP—and you
don’t press any of the remote buttons for
sixty seconds, a “time-out” occurs, returning

delivers a home-cinema experience that isn’t
possible with a conventional (4:3 aspect ratio)
set. The 16:9 format of high-definition (HD)
programs and other widescreen-format video
sources appear more lifelike, dramatic, and
theatrical. Black or gray bars are diminished
or eliminated. As the television industry
moves toward the high-definition format stan-
dard and more HD broadcasts become avail-
able, you will be able to see the broadcasts as
they were intended—in 16:9 format.
Your TV’s 16:9 Screen Size
YourTV’s Picture Format Options
For flexibility in viewing conventional 4:3-
format video sources on your TV’s wide
screen, you have the options Automatic,”
“Super zoom,” “Panoramic,” “4:3,” “Movie
expand 14:9,” “Movie expand 16:9,” “16:9
subtitle,” or “Wide screen.”
Automatic (not depicted)
Makes the picture fill the screen
as much as possible when the
presence of black or gray bars is
detected.
NOTE: The Automatic picture format is
disabled for AV3–AV6.

CHECK IT OUT
Inputs AV3–AV4 allow horizontal and vertical
picture panning using the Cursor Left, Right,
Up, and Down buttons. The Side input allows
vertical picture panning; left and right panning
with the Side input is possible when the input
has been labeled “Game.” See pages 18 and 19
for details on side panel connections and
source labeling.
Super zoom
Removes the black or gray bars
on the sides of a 4:3-format pic-
ture with minimal distortion. Part
of the top and bottom portions of
the picture are excluded from the
screen.
Movie expand 14:9
Expands the picture to 14:9 movie
aspect ratio. Part of the top and bot-
tom portions of the picture are
excluded from the screen. Black or
gray bars are shown at the left and
right sides.
HELPFUL HINT
The term aspect ratio refers to the relation-
ship between the width and height of a TV
screen. Historically, TV screen width has
been 33 percent greater than its height,
amounting to a 4:3 aspect ratio. The width
of your widescreen TV, however, is nearly
80 percent greater than its height, which
means its aspect ratio is 16:9. This screen
corresponds well with the tendency of the
eyes to feel more comfortable with fields of
view and action planes that are horizontally
oriented. The wide screen is also propor-
tionally truer to the formats in which
movies are filmed and presented in theaters.
However, many widescreen DVDs will still
display black bars to preserve the true the-
atrical format.
4:3
Displays a conventional 4:3 pic-
ture without change. Black or
gray bars will show at the left and
right sides.
16:9 subtitle
Zooms the picture for a full view
of subtitles or other information
displayed at the bottom of the
picture. Part of the top portion of
the picture is excluded from the
screen.
Movie expand 16:9
Alters the image both horizontal-
ly (stretched) and vertically
(cropped) to fill the TV’s wide
screen. Part of the top and bottom
portions of the picture will be
excluded from the screen.

CLEANING THE TV
Be sure the TV is
unplugged before
cleaning it.
WARNING
To avoid possible shock hazard, be sure the
TV is unplugged from the electrical outlet
before cleaning.
Cleaning the Cabinet
• Regularly dust the TV cabinet with a dry,
nonscratching duster.
• Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a
soft, clean cloth.
• Occasionally vacuum the ventilation slots
on the back cover of the set. See the next
section on “Cleaning or Replacing the
Filters.”
Use a nonscratching duster.
• Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or
other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as
they might cause permanent marring of the
cabinet finish.
• The television contains plastic parts. DO
NOT use benzine, thinners, or other chemi-
cals to clean. DO NOT use insecticide or
other volatile substances nearby. DO NOT
allow the TV to come into contact for
extended periods of time with rubber or
vinyl products.
Don’t use chemicals on or
near the TV.
Cleaning the Screen
• Use a soft dry cloth to wipe the screen. Use
even, easy, vertical strokes. Take care not
to scratch or damage the screen surface.
Avoid wearing jewelry or using anything
abrasive.
Avoid wearing jewelry
that may scratch the TV.
Wipe with even, easy, ver-
tical strokes.

Cleaning or Replacing the Filters
The Cineos TV has two filters that cover air
inlets on the bottom of the set. Maintaining a
free flow of air through the inlets is very impor-
tant. If the air filters become dirty, clogged, or
blocked, the temperature in the set will rise.
Should the heat level become too high due to
blockage, a sensor detects this, and a warning
message appears on screen alerting you to
check the air inlets for blockage. The message
will be displayed for 6 seconds. It reappears
every 15 minutes as long as the temperature
remains too high.

this high level for 1 minute, the TV will enter
Standby mode. In Standby mode, the TV is off.
Locations of Air Filters
Be sure the TV is not placed on a surface (such
as a shag carpet) that will prevent the free flow
of air through the inlets, and periodically clean
or replace the filters as detailed in the following
instructions.

Replacing the Lamp
The Cineos TV uses a lamp with a limited
lifetime to illuminate the picture. A Lifetime
counter in the TV records the operating time
of the lamp. One hundred hours before the
lamp reaches the end of its life, a warning
message will appear on screen. This will
allow you to prepare to replace the lamp or
take action right away. The message will dis-
appear within 6 seconds. It will reappear each
time the TV is turned on until the lamp is
replaced.
A blinking orange light
in the Active Standby
Window means that the
lamp needs to be
replaced.
To order a replacement lamp, call the
Philips Customer Care Center at
1-800-531-0039. A Philips associate will
be happy to assist you. The part number
for the Philips TV replacement lamp is
3122 438 71310.

ered under your warranty.
If you need to call a customer service representative, please know the model number and serial number of your product before you
call. This information is displayed on the back of the product. Also, please take a moment to identify the problem you are having,
and be prepared to explain this to the representative. If you believe the representative will need to help you with operations, please
stay near the product. Our representative will be happy to assist you. To reach our Customer Care Center, call 1-800-531-0039.
TV-related Checks
TheTV won’t switch on.
• Make sure the power plug is plugged in.
• If you’re using the TV remote control to turn the TV on, be sure the remote is in TV mode. (pages *Q6, 24.)
• Plug something else in to be sure the wall outlet (or extension cord) is receiving power.
• The remote control could have a problem. See the troubleshooting section “Remote-related Checks” on page 71.
• Make sure the lamp door is not ajar. The TV is designed not to operate with the lamp door open. (pages *Q1, 69–70)
• If a red light is blinking on the front of the TV, the set has entered protection mode. If this happens it usually means you simply
need to reset the TV. Unplug the TV for 60 seconds. Then plug the TV in and try to switch it on. If the light is still blinking red,
call the Customer Care Center at 1-800-531-0039.
TheTV switches off unexpectedly.
• If the lamp door is opened, the TV will shut down. The TV is designed not to operate when the lamp door is ajar.
• If a red light is blinking on the front of the TV, the set has entered protection mode. Unplug and plug the set back in a couple of
times and try to switch it on. If the problem persists, contact the Customer Care Center at 1-800-531-0039.
• The Sleeptimer may have been set to turn the TV off. Turn the TV back on if desired. (page 45)
TheTV switches on unexpectedly.
• The On Timer may have been set. (page 46)
An on-screen message tells you that it is time to replace the lamp.
• The message appears on screen when the lamp has 100 hours of life left, and will reappear each time the TV is turned on until the
lamp is replaced. Prepare to replace the lamp or take action right away. (pages 71–73)
An on-screen message instructs you to check the air inlets for blockage.
• Check the air inlets and filters for blockage and clean or replace the air filters as necessary. (pages 69–70).
You have a picture but no sound.
• Make sure Mute is not on. (page *Q6)
• The TV speakers may be turned off. Make sure the Center Channel Amp Switch on the back of the TV is in the INT position.
(page 7)
You have no picture.
• If you have made a connection to the TV’s Tuner jack be sure to use Autoprogram. (page *Q8).
• If you want to view materials from an accessory device (DVD player, VCR, or satellite receiver, for example) be sure you have
selected the input source to which you have connected the device—AV1, AV2, AV3, AV4, AV5, AV6, or Side. (pages *Q4, *Q6,
10–16, 18, 20)
• Make sure you have made connections correctly. (pages *Q3–5, 10–16, 18, 20)
You have no picture and no sound.
• If you see a blinking orange light on the front of the set, this means that the lamp needs to be replaced. (pages 71–73)
You see scrolling images.
• Make sure you have made connections correctly. (pages *Q3–5, 10–16, 18, 20)
*Q refers to the Quick Use and Setup Guide that came with your TV.

Troubleshooting
TV-related Checks (continued)
The picture appears doubled or tripled.
• If you are using an antenna, be sure it is facing in the correct direction. Also, check to see if it may be receiving signals that are
being reflected off of mountains or buildings.
The picture shakes or is not clear.
• If you are using an antenna, make sure it is not broken or shorted, and make sure the antenna cable is connected properly and
securely.
• If you are using a VCR and selecting channels on the TV, make sure the TV/VCR mode on the VCR is set to TV.
The picture has no colors or colors are not correct.
• Make sure you have made connections correctly. (pages *Q3–5, 10–14, 16, 18)
• If you have connected accessory equipment, such as an HD satellite receiver, make sure the color setting on the accessory equip-
ment is correct. See the user manual for the HD satellite receiver.
TheTV sound has an unusual quality.
• Check the TV’s Equalizer control to be sure it is set to the option you want. (page 33)
Remote-related Checks
The remote control does not work.
• Make sure nothing is blocking the path between the remote control and the TV or accessory device you want to operate.
• Make sure you point the remote directly at the TV or accessory device you want to operate.
• If you want to operate the TV, make sure the remote is in TV mode. If a green light is flashing the remote is in an accessory
mode, press the Select button once. If you want to operate an accessory device, program the remote to operate the device if nec-
essary and make sure the remote is in the appropriate mode for the device. (pages *Q6, 22–28)
• Make sure you have installed the batteries correctly. (page *Q6)
• The batteries could be dead. When the batteries in the remote run low, the remote will send a “Battery Low” command to the TV.
The TV will then display a message on the screen reminding you to replace the batteries as soon as possible.
• You may want to try taking the remote batteries out and then putting them back in. NOTE: After taking the batteries out, you
may need to reprogram the remote for use with accessory devices.
*Q refers to the Quick Use and Setup Guide that came with your TV.
