Your new projection television and its packaging contain materials
that can be recycled and reused. Specialized companies can recy-
cle your product to increase the amount of reusable materials and
minimize the amounts that need to be properly disposed. The bat-
teries used by your product should not be thrown away when
depleted but should be handed in and disposed of as small chemi-
cal waste. Please find out about the local regulations concerning
how to dispose of your old television, batteries, and packaging
materials whenever it is time to replace them.
End-of-life Disposal
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.
