Never attempt to repair a defective TV yourself. Always consult a skilled service person. Battery Usage CAUTION : To prevent battery leakage which may result in bodily injury or damage to the remote : • Install ALL batteries correctly, + and – as marked on the remote control. • Do not mix batteries : (OLD and NEW or CARBON and ALKALINE, etc.). • Remove batteries when the remote is not used for a long time. 2 PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS • Progressive Scan – double the visible picture lines for better resolution • 100Hz Digital Scan eliminates flicker and line jitter for a stable picture • HDTV Monitor – HDTV is the latest and best television signal available • Acclearium™ Digital Optics maximizes picture quality on all inputs • Saphlon™ Screen – better picture and scratch resistance Technology made simple • Active Control measures signal to produce best picture • Auto IntelliSense™ Focus – one-touch automatic convergence of the CRT tubes • APAC – Automatic Phosphor Aging Compensation Rich sound experience • Virtual Dolby®* Surround – surround sound without additional rear speakers Product highlights 100Hz Digital Scan Conventional TV creates a picture by scanning 50 times per second (50Hz). This frequency can be detected by the human eye in the form of a field flickering picture. 100Hz sets scan 100 times per second, eliminating the field flickering. Progressive Scan A picture frame consists of two fields: the field with the odd lines (field A) and the field with the even lines (field B). Instead of sending field A to the screen first, followed by field B, the fields A and B are written at one time. In one second, a full image is created using the maximum resolution. At this speed, the human eye perceives a sharper picture with no line structure. HDTV Monitor HDTV Display Capability (1080i). HDTV monitors enable you to view high-definition or enhanced-definition TV programming in the 1080i or 480p signal format. In order to do so, the TV must be connected via its component video or RGB inputs to a set-top box, which is set to operate in the DTV mode. A DTV signal must be present in your area and the set-top box must be tuned to the proper channel. An external over-the-air antenna may be required. Another option is HDTV broadcast satellite service. Stunning realism in both picture and sound are delivered! Acclearium™ Digital Optics Philips micro phosphor CRTs feature improved optics for sharper, more detailed images and enhanced green phosphor, which creates deeper, more natural colors. Hybrid projection lenses work in concert with each CRT to improve focus and correct optical errors, removing distortion and creating a crisp picture to the edge of the screen. The lenticular screen has nearly one-third finer pitch (.515mm) than traditional screens improving picture detail and resolution. The Philips Wideband Video Amplifier reproduces the highest visible bandwidth in its class—resulting in significantly more picture detail in pure HD.
