Warning concerning stationary images on the TV screen (only for Plasma Displays)

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.

Please refer to pg 27 for details.

A Guide to Digital TV

What is Digital Television (DTV)?

Digital Television (DTV) is relatively new type of broadcasting that promises to transform television viewing into a whole new experience. Digital technology is used to capture images and sound to deliver a better picture quality. DTV technology is also capable of multicasting and interactive capabilities.

There are many levels of digital television quality. The most common are:

Standard Definition TV (SDTV)

SDTV is the basic level of quality display and resolution for both analog and digital. Transmission of SDTV can be in the traditional (4:3) or widescreen (16:9) format.

Enhanced Definition TV (EDTV)

EDTV is better in picture quality than analog television. The formats for EDTV are 480p widescreen (16:9) or traditional (4:3). EDTV is in the middle range quality between SDTV and HDTV.

High Definition TV (HDTV)

HDTV has the highest quality for digital broadcast formats. Its resolution is widescreen format (16:9). Combined with digitally enhanced sound technology, HDTV sets new standards for sound and picture quality in television.

DTV is by far a more flexible and efficient technology than the analog broadcast system. Analog broadcasts can only provide one program at a time. Digital television can broadcast a high definition program or more than one standard definition program at the same time. This is often referred to as "multicasting". Digital television can also give you interactive video and data services through a single digital channel.

Preparation

Do not insert the power plug in a wall socket before all connections are made.

Place the TV on a solid surface or place the TV on the supplied stand. For the mounting instructions of the stand, see the Cover Page.

For ventilation, leave at least 4” to 6” free all around the TV. Do not place the TV on a carpet. To prevent any unsafe situations, no naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed in the vicinity.

Avoid heat, direct sunlight and exposure to rain or water. The equipment shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.

Mounting the TV on the wall

This TV is compatible with the VESA wall mounting standard. Please contact your local electronics retailer for a VESA compliant bracket to wall mount this TV.

Caution: Installing the TV requires special skill that should only be performed by qualified personnel. You should not attempt to do the work yourself. Philips bears no responsibility for improper

mounting or mounting that results in accident or injury.
