FEATURES

Active Control™ continuously measures and corrects all incoming signals to provide the best picture settings. This feature provides a sharp and virtually noise-free picture any time, from any NTSC source. NTSC is the National Television Standards Committee for- mat devised in the 1940s for TV broadcast analog video signals (525 lines: 30 Hz).

Alternate Channel (A/CH) button allows you to switch back and forth between the currently viewed channel and the previously viewed channel.

Automatic Phosphor Aging Compensation (APAC) works with the set’s Automatic Format feature to prevent screen burn left by nonmoving images. Periodically, APAC automatically shifts your television picture in very small increments, but in increments large enough to blur image retention. APAC is like a screen saver for your TV.

Audio/video jacks allow direct connections with VCRs and other accessories for quality TV picture and sound playback. Component video input jacks are provided for high-fidelity color and picture resolution when using digital video source material, such as a DVD.

Audio Volume Leveler (AVL) control keeps the TV’s sound at an even level. Peaks and valleys that occur during program changes or commercial breaks are reduced, making for a more consistent, comfortable sound.

AutoChron™ automatically sets the right time of day and main- tains it with digital precision through brownouts, power failures, and even Daylight Savings Time adjustments.

AutoLock™ protects young children from objectionable program- ming with V-chip technology.

Automatic Format automatically detects the incoming signal’s format and adjusts it to fill the screen. Also, your remote control has a Format button that allows you to select the picture format you want to see.

AutoPicture™ allows you to push a button and adapt your TV’s picture to various types of programs, such as sports, movies, and multimedia (games).

AutoSound™ allows you to select from three factory-set controls and a personal control that you set according to your own prefer- ences through the onscreen Sound submenu. The three factory-set controls—Voice, Music, and Theatre—enable you to tailor the TV sound to enhance the particular programming you are watching.

AutoSurf™ allows you to easily switch among only the channels that are of interest to you. You can program up to 10 channels into the TV’s AutoSurf™ memory through the onscreen display.

Channel Edit allows you to add or remove channels from the list of channels stored in the TV’s memory. Channel Edit makes it easy to limit or expand the number of channels that are available to you when you press the CH +/– buttons on your remote control. Closed Captioning allows you to read TV program dialog or voice conversations as onscreen text.

Virtual Dolby* Surround (referred to as DOLBY VIRTUAL in the onscreen submenu) uses two speakers to simulate the sur- round effect produced by a multichannel system.

Dynamic Contrast helps you sharpen the picture quality by mak- ing the contrast between the dark and bright picture areas more noticeable as the image on screen changes.

Eye Fidelity gives you a choice between two different picture- scanning techniques—progressive and interlaced. Progressive scan doubles the number of visible picture lines per field by displaying all picture frame lines at once, eliminating line flicker. The inter- laced mode provides for a double vertical display (interlaced) of progressive scan, which reduces annoying motion artifacts. The

Interlaced mode also helps smooth out jagged lines sometimes seen on curved and angled surfaces.

High-definition component video inputs allow you to connect High-definition signals to the TV (HD INPUT-AV 4 only). The result is superb color purity, crisp color detail, and reduced color noise. Your set provides separate HD inputs for YPbPr/RGB, as well as horizontal and vertical sync.

Hi-fi stereo system, including a built-in audio amplifier and a twin speaker system. The system enables you to hear stereo sound or Second Audio Program (SAP) bilingual broadcasts when they are available.

Home-cinema universal remote control operates your TV set and other devices that work by infrared remote control, such as VCRs, cable converter boxes, satellite receivers, and others. Note: You may need to program the remote to work with devices other than the TV. See pages 18–23.

Incredible Surround™ enhances stereo programs by making the sound broader and fuller.

Onscreen menu shows the TV controls and allows you adjust or set those controls (can be viewed in American English, French, or Spanish).

Picture-in-picture (PIP) allows you to monitor one video source while watching another. You can swap the main and secondary pic- tures, or position the PIP window in any screen corner.

Program List displays a list of your favorite channels at the press of a button. You can scroll through the list, highlight a favorite channel, and tune to the channel.

Protective screen filter helps prevent accidental damage to the del- icate front lenticular screen. Anyone with children or pets knows accidents can happen in the home—especially when parents aren’t watching. The protective screen filter is specifically formulated by Philips for HD displays to protect your investment while giving the best possible picture.

Sleep Timer automatically turns the TV off after a set amount of time of your choice.

Standard broadcast (VHF/UHF) or cable TV (CATV) channel capability, as well as advanced capability for high-definition video. Three-line comb filter provides improved chroma/luminance sepa- ration to the picture. Offering vertical-edge enhancement and virtu- ally no “dot crawl,” this filter easily supports the demands of DVD players and other advanced high-resolution video sources.
