Safety1.1

Two people are required to lift and carry a TV that weighs more than 25 kg (55lb). Improper handling of the TV can result in serious injury.

If transporting the TV in low temperatures • (less than 5°C), open the box and wait until the TV matches the ambient temperature of the room before unpacking.

To avoid short circuit, do not expose the • TV, remote control or remote control batteries to rain or water.

Do not place vessels of water or other • liquids on top of or near the TV. Spilling liquids on the TV can cause electric shock.

If liquids are spilt on the TV, do not operate the TV. Immediately disconnect the TV from the mains and have the TV checked by a qualified technician.

To avoid risk of fire or electric shock, do not place the TV, remote control or remote control batteries near naked flame sources (e.g. lighted candles) and other heat sources including direct sunlight.

Do not install the TV in a confined space such as a bookcase. Leave a space of at least 10cm (four inches) around the TV for ventilation. Be sure air flow is not obstructed.

If placing the TV on a flat, solid surface be • sure to use only the supplied stand. Do not move the TV if the stand is not properly screwed to the TV.

Wall mounting of the TV should only be performed by qualified personnel. The TV must only be mounted on an appropriate wall bracket and on a wall that can safely hold the weight of the TV. Improper wall mounting can result in severe injury or damage. Do not attempt to wall mount the TV yourself.

If the TV is mounted on a swivel base or swivel arm, ensure no strain is placed on the power cord when the TV is swivelled. Strain on the power cord can loosen connections and cause arcing or fire.

Disconnect the TV from the mains and • antenna before lightning storms. During lightning storms do not touch any part of the TV, mains cord or antenna cable.

Be sure that you have full access to the • mains cord for easy disconnection of the TV from the mains.

- When disconnecting the TV from the mains, be sure to:

- Turn off the TV, then the mains power (if available).

Unplug the mains cord from the mains • socket outlet.

Unplug the mains cord from the power • connector at the back of the TV.

Always pull the mains cord by the plug.

Do not pull the mains cord.

Screen care1.2

Turn off and unplug the mains cord before • cleaning the screen. Clean the screen with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use substances such as household cleaning agents as these may damage the screen.

Do not touch, push, rub or strike the • screen with hard objects as this may damage the screen permanently.

Where possible, avoid stationary images • that remain on-screen for extended periods of time. Examples include screen menus, teletext pages, black bars or stock market tickers. If you must use stationary images, reduce the screen contrast and brightness to avoid screen damage.

Select connection quality7.2

This section describes how you can enhance your audio visual experience by connecting your devices with the best possible connectors.

After connecting your devices, be sure to enable them as described in Section 7.4 Setup devices.

7.2.1. HDMI - Highest quality

PHILIPS 52PFL7403 - HDMI - Highest quality - 1

natural_image Line drawing of a coiled cable with two USB connectors (no text or symbols)

HDMI produces the best audio visual quality possible. Both audio and video signals are combined in one HDMI cable, providing an uncompressed, digital interface between your TV and HDMI devices. You must use HDMI to experience full high-definition video.

Tip

If your device only has a DVI connector, use a DVI-HDMI adaptor to connect your device to a HDMI connector on the TV. As such a connection does not support sound, you must connect a separate audio cable from the device to the Audio L/R input at the AUDIO IN connectors on the TV.

Note

Philips HDMI supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection). HDCP is a form of Digital Rights Management that protects high definition content in DVD or Blu-ray Discs.

7.2.2. Component (YPbPr) - Higher quality

Component (Y Pb Pr) video provides better picture quality than S-Video or composite video connections. Though component video

supports high-definition signals, picture quality is lower than HDMI and is analogue.

When connecting a component video cable, match the cable colours to the CVI connectors on the back of the TV. Also, connect a Audio L/R cable to the red and white Audio L/R input connectors at CVI.

PHILIPS 52PFL7403 - Component (YPbPr) - Higher quality - 1

natural_image Line drawing of a coiled audio cable with two connectors and two leads (no text or symbols)

Audio L/R cable - Red, White

S-Video - Good quality 7.2.3.

S-Video provides better picture quality than composite video. When connecting your device with S-Video, plug the S-Video cable to the S-Video connector on the side of the TV. You must connect a separate Audio L/R cable from the device to the red and white Audio L/R input connectors on the side of the TV.

Audio L/R cable - Red, White

7.2.4. Composite - Basic quality

Composite video provides basic analogue connectivity, usually combining a (yellow) video cinch cable with (red and white) Audio L/R cinch cable. Match the cable colours when connecting to the composite Video and Audio L/R input connectors on the side of the TV.
