DEFINITION
High-definition television offers a picture with unprecedented crispness and clarity. The TV broadcast industry is moving toward high definition as
the signal standard. Currently, the number of programs being broadcast in high definition is limited, but this is changing. To view high-definition programs on
your TV, you will need to connect a satellite receiver, cable box, or set-top box that can decode HD signals.
Resolution information
Image resolutions are commonly referred to by a num-
ber followed by a letter: 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i.
Interlaced Scan
Odd lines
Progressive Scan
The number in each format refers to the number of lines
of resolution, so for example both 480i and 480p offer
480 lines of resolution. The "i" or "p" refers to whether
the signal is displayed using respectively interlaced or
progressive scan. Interlaced scan breaks each frame of
video into 2 fields, one made up of even lines and one
made up of odd lines. The image is reproduced by draw-
ing all odd lines first (1,3,5,…479) than all the even
ones (2,4,6,….,480). Progressive scan, on the other hand
reproduces an image by drawing all lines in succession
1,2,3,4,….480).

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.
• Don’t stack the accessory devices. Arrange
them to allow for good ventilation. The
optional Philips stand provides enough room
for two accessory devices, side by side.
• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier,
place it on the top shelf so the heated air from
it will not flow around other components.

Using Active Control™ Plus
Active Control™ Plus monitors incoming
video signals from the Tuner, AV1, AV2, and
Side inputs and adjusts key picture settings
for best picture quality. In addition to measur-
ing picture noise, this feature uses an ambient
light sensor (located on the front of the TV)
to adjust the picture settings according to
viewing conditions in the room. When you
choose to turn Active Control™ Plus on, you
have the options Minimum, Medium, or
Maximum. Maximum is the recommended
option.

Selecting a Picture Format Option
Your TV’s wide screen (16:9 aspect ratio)
Conventional 4:3 Screen Size
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.
Panoramic
Evenly stretches the edges of the
picture to fill the TV’s wide
screen.
Page 36 explains how to select a picture
format option.

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.
Wide screen
Evenly stretches the width of the
picture to fill the screen.

Using Alternate Audio (SAP)
For broadcasts that contain SAP (Secondary
Audio Program) information, the Alt Audio
Control can be set to SAP. Sent as a third
audio channel, SAP is an additional part of the
stereo broadcast system that can be heard apart
from the current TV program sound. TV sta-
tions are free to use SAP for any number of
purposes.
