Philips S50 manual Tips, Care of the screen

Tips

Care of the screen	Do not touch, push or rub or strike the screen with anything hard as this may
	scratch, mar or damage the screen permanently. And please do not rub with dust
	clothes with chemical treatment. Do not touch the surface with bare hands or
	greasy cloth (some cosmetics are detrimental to the screen). Unplug the TV before
	cleaning the screen. 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, p. 6.
	• Are brightness, sharpness and contrast out of adjustment? Select Factory
		settings in the Setup, General menu, p. 7.
	•	Sometimes poor picture quality is possible when having activated an S-VHS
		camera or camcorder connected to the right side of your TV and another
		peripheral is connected to EXT 1 or 2 at the same time. In this case switch off
		one of the other peripherals.
No picture	•	Is the aerial connected properly?
	•	Are the plugs tightly connected in the aerial socket?
	•	Is the aerial cable in good condition and does it have suitable plugs?
No sound	•	No sound on any channel? Check the volume isn’t at minimum.
	•	Is the sound interrupted with the mute key ¬?
No solution found	Switch your TV off and then on again once. Never attempt to repair a defective
