Philips 550W manual Tips

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, Manual installation, p. 6.
	• Are brightness, sharpness and contrast out of adjustment? Select Factory
		settings in the Setup, General menu, p. 8.
No Picture	• Are the supplied cables connected properly ? (The aerial cable to the TV, the
		other aerial to your recorder, 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,
		this means that the display mode is not supported. Switch your HDMI-source to
		a correct mode.
	• In case of weak or bad signal, consult your dealer.
Digital distortion	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	•	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
for your picture or	TV yourself. Check with your dealer or call a TV technician.

Remote control	• Check if the remote control is in the correct mode.
