FEATURES

Philips HD Optics System answers the demand for extreme-reso- lution HD with cutting-edge processing and display technology, including micro-phosphor CRTs, hybrid projection lenses, first-sur- face mirrors, fine-pitched lenticular lenses, and a Philips wideband video amplifier.

Auto IntelliSense™ Focus automatically adjusts picture conver- gence at the push of a button. After reviewing a special test pat- tern, optical sensors send position information to the controller, which then corrects the pictures. Auto IntelliSense™ Focus responds to the natural and man-made magnetic field conditions where the TV is located, so you will always enjoy the best possible picture.

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.

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).

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.

Protective screen filter helps prevent accidental damage to the delicate front lenticular screen. This filter has been specifically for- mulated by Philips for HD displays to give the best possible pic- ture and still protect your investment.

High-definition component and (digital visual interface) DVI

inputs support HD video input for superb color purity, crisp color detail, and reduced color noise. Included are inputs for Y, Pb, Pr, and horizontal and vertical sync, plus DVI.

3-D Y/C Digital Comb Filter (activated when using the tuner and composite inputs) processes the video with spatial and temporal filtering, virtually eliminating cross-color and cross-luminance interference, improving video resolution. This filter uses extensive memory to analyze complete video fields, significantly reducing “dot crawl,” “hanging dots,” and “barber pole artifacts” on the image.

Double-window, two-tuner Picture-in-Picture (PIP) allows you to watch two shows, side by side. No VCR is necessary for tuning PIP pictures. Your set’s two separate tuners let you select two shows and display both in windows of equal proportion.

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.

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

Center channel input, which has standard clip-on style speaker connectors, simplifies the connection of surround-sound equipment for optimal home-theater enjoyment. Since it contains the dialog information, the center channel is vitally important to the overall performance of any large screen in a home-theater system.

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.

Hi-fi stereo system, including a built-in audio amplifier and a twin speaker system with 2-inch tweeters and 5-inch woofers. The sys- tem enables you to hear stereo sound or Second Audio Program (SAP) bilingual broadcasts when they are available.

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, com- fortable 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.

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.

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