Highlights

Pixel Plus Pixel Plus is a digital picture processing technology that increases the number of lines and the number of pixels. The result is razor sharp pictures with incredible detail and depth, every time from any source. 3D Combfilter The 3D comb filter separates brightness and color signals better in 3D domain to eliminate cross-color, cross-luminance and dot-crawl distortion - all of which detract from your viewing pleasure. The 3D digital comb filter performs field-by-field comparisons of the television image to accurately separate the color from the black-and-white information and remove both horizontally and vertically hanging dots, as well as dot crawl. The result is a razor sharp image. Active Control + Light Sensor Active Control is a unique and intelligent way of optimizing picture quality by measuring and analyzing the incoming signal to automatically adjust picture quality settings. Active Control with Light Sensor uses a sensor to adjust the picture brightness depending on the room light conditions. Ambilight The full-color ambient lights offers you relaxed viewing and a unique ambiance via a soft light glow on the walls surrounding the TV. Research has shown that watching television with adapted ambient lighting promotes more relaxed TV viewing. the Ambilight colors automatically adapt to the images on the screen to add a new sensation to the viewing experience. The light can also be switched to fixed colors or various shades of white. In standby mode, the lights can be operated to any color and create a unique ambiance in the room. Digital Natural Motion Philips invented Digital Natural Motion to eliminate juddering effects that are visible with moving picture content. Digital Natural Motion estimates motion in the picture and corrects juddering movements in both broadcast and recorded movie material (such as DVD). The resulting smooth motion reproduction and excellent sharpness take the viewing experience to a higher level. Virtual Dolby Surround Virtual Dolby Surround is a processing technology for enhancing surround sound effects. It will create the sensation of Dolby Pro Logic without the necessity of additional rear speakers. You become totally immersed in your television experience. HDMI input HDMI makes an uncompressed digital RGB connection from the source to the screen. By eliminating conversion to an analog signal, it delivers an unblemished image. The nondegraded signal reduces flicker and leads to a clearer picture. HDMI intelligently communicates the highest output resolution with the source device. The HDMI input is fully backward compatible with DVI sources but includes digital audio. HDMI uses HDCP copy protection.

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 x at the back of the set. An inferior aerial is likely to result in a poor, perhaps unstable picture with ghost images and lack of contrast. Makeshift 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.

When the surface becomes dusty, please wipe gently with absorbent cotton or other soft materials like chamois soaks. Do not use acetone, toluene and alcohol because they cause chemical damage. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Wipe off saliva or water drops as soon as possible.Their long time contact with the screen causes deformations and colour fading.

Poor Picture

Have you selected the correct TV system in the manual installation menu? Is your TV or house aerial located too close to loudspeakers, non-earthed audio equipment or neon lights, etc.? Mountains or high buildings can cause double pictures or ghost images. Sometimes you can improve the picture quality by changing the direction of the aerial. Is the picture or teletext unrecognisable? Check if you have entered the correct frequency. See Installation, Manual installation, p. 6. Are brightness, sharpness and contrast out of adjustment? Select Factory settings in the Setup, General menu, p. 8. Are the supplied cables connected properly ? (The aerial cable to the TV, the other aerial to your recorder, the VGA cables to the display, the power cables.) Has the child lock been switched off ? Is your PC switched on ? Do you see a black screen and the indicator in front of the TV lights up blue, this means that the display mode is not supported. Switch your VGA-source to a correct display mode. In case of weak or bad signal, consult your dealer. The low quality of some digital picture material may be the cause of digital image distortion. In this case select the Soft setting using the Picture menu, Smart Picture, without changing the picture settings manually. No sound on any channel? Check the volume isnt at minimum. Is the sound interrupted with the mute key ?

See Extras, Specifications on this CD.
Warning concerning stationary images on the TV screen A characteristic of Plasma Display Panels is that displaying the same image for a long time can cause a permanent after-image to remain on the screen.This is called phosphor burn in. Normal use of the TV should involve the showing of pictures that contain constantly moving and changing images that fill the screen. Examples of stationary images (this is not an all-inclusive list, you may encounter others in your viewing): TV and DVD menus: listings of DVD disk content; Black bars: when black bars appear at the left and right side of the screen, it is recommended to change to a picture format so that the picture fills the entire screen; PIP and Multipip: do not view for long periods of time using the PIP function or Multipip function; TV channel logo: present a problem if they are bright and stationary. Moving or low-contrast graphics are less likely to cause uneven aging of the screen; Stock market stickers: presented at the bottom of the TV screen; Shopping channel logos and pricing displays: bright and shown constantly or repeatedly in the same location on the TV screen. Examples of still pictures also include logos, computer images, time display, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode, static images or characters, etc. Notes: - reduce contrast and brightness when viewing - once burn-in occurs it will never disappear completely.

CINEMA VCR LINK IN TV IN CENTRE OUT
Note: The Cinema Link functionality is only available with devices of the Cinema Link (P50.3) generation !
Cinema Link is a new Philips feature in which the TV, the audio receiver and other video peripherals communicate with each other (on condition they all are equipped with the Cinema Link functionality and are connected via a eurocable).They automatically offer the highest quality combination of picture and multi channel surround sound to create your own Home Cinema. With one key on the remote control, with which you can control all Cinema Link products, your total Cinema Link system will be started and the DVD or video recorder will start to play and the audio receiver will provide the sound (on the condition Cinema link is enabled) on behalf of the TV. The TV or monitor can function as the centre speaker of your system, making a separate centre speaker unnecessary (only in case your TV or receiver box is equipped with a Centre IN connector). By pressing the standby key B on the remote control for at least 3 seconds, the complete Cinema Link system will be switched to standby.

Recommended:

Do not use the AC outlet at the back of the audio receiver to power the DVD or the video recorder in a Home Cinema configuration.
Configuration of the Cinema Link peripherals
The connection diagram in the inside cover shows you how to connect the Cinema Link peripherals with each other. Notes: - Besides the TV or receiver box at least one peripheral should be provided with the Cinema Link functionality to benefit from this feature. - To take advantage of the highest quality of multi channel Surround sound it is advisable that you have a Cinema Link audio receiver connected. - The peripherals connected dont need to see the TV remote control in the Cinema Link system. The commands given to the TV are automatically passed to the other peripherals. This allows you to put the peripherals behind the doors of a cabinet or to place them in another room. - To enjoy Digital Surround playback, the digital device (e.g. DVD) should be connected to the digital input of the audio receiver with a separate cinch audio cable 4. In case your TV is provided with a DIGITAL AUDIO OUT connector, also connect it to one of the digital input connectors of your audio receiver 5. If you connect the digital audio output connector of your TV and/or peripheral equipment to a digital input connector of your audio receiver 4 and 5 (if present), select the appropriate digital input (1 or 2) in your audio receiver. - The optional wireless speakers of the TV cannot be used.
