Safety warnings
EN
General
Do not insert the power plug in a wall socket

or hang the TV to the wall before all
connections are made.
Place or hang the TV wherever you want, but
make sure that air can circulate freely through the
ventilation slots.
Do not install the TV in a confined space such as

a book case or a similar unit.
To prevent any unsafe situations, no naked flame
sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed
in the vicinity.
Avoid heat, direct sunlight and exposure to rain
or water.
The equipment shall not be exposed to dripping
or splashing.
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.
Stationary images on the TV screen

A characteristic of LCD panels is that displaying the
same image for a long time can cause a permanent
after-image to remain on the screen.This is called
phosphor burn in. Normal use of the TV should
involve the showing of pictures that contain
constantly moving and changing images that fill the
screen.
Examples of stationary images (this is not an allinclusive list, you may encounter others in your
viewing):
TV and DVD menus: listings of DVD disk content;
Black bars: when black bars appear at the left and
right side of the screen, it is recommended to
change to a picture format so that the picture fills
the entire screen;
TV channel logo: present a problem if they are
bright and stationary. Moving or low-contrast
graphics are less likely to cause uneven aging of
the screen;
Stock market stickers: presented at the bottom of
the TV screen;
Shopping channel logos and pricing displays: bright
and shown constantly or repeatedly in the same
location on the TV screen.
Examples of still pictures also include logos,
computer images, time display, teletext and images
displayed in 4:3 mode, static images or characters,
etc.
Tip: reduce contrast and brightness when
viewing.

market products that cause no adverse health
effects.
Philips confirms that if its products are handled
properly for their intended use, they are safe to

To receive scrambled DTV signals you will need a

CA (Conditional Access) module and a Smart card
provided by the service provider.
A CA module can enable additional services, for
example Pay TV.
Contact your Common Interface service provider
to get more information about these modules.
Although CA module types may vary dependent
on the manufacturer, each one of the CA modules
supports a certain kind of encryption system.Your
TV supports CA modules to work with the DVB-T
standard.
Note that a smart card may only be valid for a
single broadcast channel.
CA modules and smart cards are neither supplied
nor optional accessories from Philips.
The CA module is responsible for the messages
and texts on screen. In case of failure or strange
behaviour, you must call your CI service
broadcaster.
Insert a CA module
<
Insert the specified Conditional Access module

into the Common Interface slot as far as it will
go. It may take a few minutes before the CA
module is activated and service information is
downloaded.
Warning: when you connect the CA module

incorrectly, it may damage the card and the TV.
After inserting a card, leave it in the slot
permanently. Do not remove it from the slot
unless asked to do so. For example, your card
has to be in the slot when your CI service
broadcaster wants to download new information
to the smart card. Once the CA module is
removed, your TV will no longer decrypt
scrambled digital DVB-T channels.

Annex 3 - Philips TV-Slideshow Format with background music

Notes:
- the latest version of this document can be found on the Philips support website
(www.philips.com/support).
Use the type number of your TV to find this documentation and other related files.
- Philips cant be held responsible for any problems that may occur as a result of the content in this
document. Errors reported to Philips will be adapted and published on the Philips support website
as soon as possible.
Introduction
This document explains how to make a Philips slideshow file with background audio.
Be aware that the content of this document is addressing technical or software skilled users.
To start the slideshow open the slideshow file in the Multimedia browser of your TV.
1. Press the MENU/BROWSE key on the remote control after having inserted a USB device and
switched on the TV.
2. Go to where you stored the slideshow file (.alb) on your portable memory.
3. Select the slideshow file and press the OK key to start the slide show.
4. To stop a slide show, press the key.
General Rules
- The slideshow will use plain ASCII XML syntax to allow the creation and editing of the slideshow
files using simple tools.
- All references to network content must be based on the global address of the content.
- Content on a Portable Memory (PM) doesn't have a global address; as a result content from a PM
can never be referenced from a slideshow not stored on the PM itself.
- To maintain portability, a slideshow stored on a PM should ONLY reference content on the same
PM. Referencing global addresses can result in inconsistencies if the PM is used on a nonnetworked CE device. The latter is however not forbidden, it is only a recommendation.
- It is preferable that URLs referencing PM content are based on a relative path starting from the
directory where the slideshow is stored. This path includes the device or drive name of the PM.
An absolute path to content will also be supported.
- relative path: pictures\test1.jpg, tamper.jpg, ..\new\bird.jpg,
- absolute path: USB1:\pictures1\foo_bar.jpg, C:\f1.jpg, \organization.jpg,
General Format
The format and syntax below will be used to create the slideshow file (simple ascii text) with the
extension .alb (.ALB). Examples: slshow1.alb, summer_holiday_2004.ALB, test.alb,
The following syntax should be used to create the text file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-885h9-1" ?>
<philips-slideshow version="1.0" >
<title>Title of the slideshow</title>
<audio>audio_url</audio>
<slide-duration>30</slide-duration>
<slides>
<slide>slide_1_url</slide>
...
<slide>slide_N-1_url</slide>
<slide>slide_N_url</slide>
</slides>
</philips-slideshow>

Annex 4 - Philips TV - Digital camera and USB issues
EN
Notes:
- the latest version of this document can be found on the Philips support website
(www.philips.com/support);
- the software of your TV is upgradeable. If you have problems first check if you have the latest
software installed on your TV. The latest software, together with instructions, can be found on the
Philips support website. Use the type number of your TV to find this documentation and other
related files.
- Philips cant be held responsible neither for any errors in the content of this document nor for any
problems as a result of the content in this document. Errors reported to Philips will be adapted
and published on the Philips support website as soon as possible.
Digital Camera Issues

If a USB connection between your digital camera and the TV isnt working, you can try the
solutions below to resolve your problem.
- Make sure your digital camera is switched on and verify if the configuration of your digital camera
is correct (see the manual of your digital camera for more information).
- Some digital cameras allow you to switch off the USB interface. Make sure that the USB interface
is switched on before connecting to the TV.
- If you have a digital camera with only internal memory (no removable memory) you can try to
copy the content manually to a USB memory device using a personal computer.
- Some digital cameras allow you to switch between PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol) or PC Link
and USB Mass Storage. Make sure that you select USB Mass Storage or PC Drive on your
digital camera.
- If your camera supports different interface settings be sure to try them one by one or contact
the reseller of your camera to find out the correct setting.
USB Memory Device Issues

- Devices connected to the USB port of your TV must be Mass Storage Class compliant. If your
device (digital camera. MP3 player, portable harddisk, ) is not Mass Storage Class compliant it
will not be detected by the content browser of the TV.
- The following subsets of the Mass Storage Class specification are supported:
The implementation of the TV is based on the Universal Serial Bus Mass Storage Class
Specification Overview (v1.2, June 23, 2003) including all documents referenced by the
document. The document can be found on the USB standardisation website (www.usb.org).
Full support of the USB Mass Storage Class Bulk-Only Transport (bInterfaceProtocol = 50h).
Full support of SubClass Code = 05h; SFF-8070i spec.
Full support of SubClass Code = 06h; SCSI transparent command set.
- For large USB memory devices, when you are in the Content Browser, it may take a long time
before you can access your files.
- When using a USB portable harddisk: Due to the high power consumption of the harddisk, it is
advised to use the external power supply of the portable harddisk to guarantee proper working
under all conditions.
Digital Content Issues

Only FAT (DOS) formatted (initialized) portable memory is supported. Errors in this formatting
can result in unreadable content. If such problems appear try to re-format the card. Be aware that
formatting the card will also delete all the content on it (pictures, music, ).
The maximum size of any multimedia file should never exceed 4Gbyte.
Do not use a dot . in folder naming.
If video streams are supporting multiple audio tracks the first audio track will automatically be
selected, the other audio tracks cant be selected.
External subtitle files (e.g. DivX.srt subtitle files) are not supported.

If necessary, you can adjust the picture position to the centre of the screen with the cursor keys.
Due to legal requirements, it is possible that with certain copy protected PCM audio qualities from
a peripheral equipment connected to the HDMI input, the Digital audio output signal is muted.
Your TV supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection).This is a system for
protecting DVD content outputted via HDMI from being copied. It provides a secure digital link
between a video source (DVD, PC, etc.) and your TV. Content is encrypted at the source
peripheral equipment to prevent unauthorised copies from being made.
Proper working is only guaranteed with HDMI compliant consumer products.
Digital peripheral equipments from different manufacturers have the possibility of differing output
standards which may cause difficulties for the television to properly display.
In case no signal is detected from your HDMI equipment, switch off the HDMI equipment and then
on again.
To get an optimal viewing, it is advised to switch your DVD player, Blu-Ray of HD settop box to the
highest possible supported display modes.

To avoid implementation problems we recommend using

a Wireless Access Point device (e.g. Philips CPWBS054)
in combination with a wireless Ethernet bridge (also
called a Game adapter).
Wireless devices use a wireless protocol to
communicate by means of radio waves.Wireless radio
waves travel outwards from the antenna in all directions,
and can transmit through walls and floors.
Wireless radio waves can theoretically reach up to 100
meters in an open environment. Practically it could be
less than 10 meters depending on the type of walls and
floors in your home and other environmental
conditions.The content playback quality will depend on
the wireless signal quality and the connection type.
Notes:
It is recommended to buy a Wireless Access Point
supporting 802.11 a/b/g or b/g. The a-type devices are ideal
for transferring good video quality and the g-type devices
are sufficient for good audio quality. The b-type devices are
not suitable for good video streaming.
Do not use an ad-hoc wireless connection (TV-PC) as it
limits your bandwidth.

You can check this on your PC with the network

identification tool. See Tools, Network Utility on the
supplied CD.
Enable DHCP/Auto IP on your Wireless Access
Point, see the user manual of your router.
Preparing your network
& First check and write down the settings of your
Wireless Access Point.You need the SSID,WEP
key(s) or WPA key(s).
Note: It is possible that your WEP or WPA keys are
hidden.
To simplify the configuration procedure temporarily
remove the security of your wireless network (if
enabled). Consult the user manual of your Wireless
Access Point to make the following settings:
Switch on the SSID broadcast.
Switch off wireless security (WEP/WPA keys).
Switch off MAC filtering.
Note: Also switch off the wireless security (WEP/WPA keys) of
your wireless PC driver.
More details on configuring the

recommended wireless Ethernet bridges
can be found on the Philips support
website: www.philips.com/support

The following settings need to be applied:
Password (see access point documentation)
Note: Do not change any passwords at this time.
Infrastructure (access point) mode
SSID-name of your wireless network
DHCP/Auto IP enabled
Security encryption disabled
If your PC can connect to the Internet using a web
browser, the wireless Ethernet bridge is configured
correctly.
Notes:
- After configuring your wireless Ethernet bridge you may
need to wait a while before the connection is active.You
may even have to restart the bridge.
- How to restart the bridge, consult the user manual of
the bridge. The user manual will also explain the
meaning of the different indicators ( LEDs) on your
bridge and how they should behave after powering the
bridge.
- If you dont succeed to browse the Internet using your
wireless Ehternet bridge, please contact the retailer of
the bridge (instead of Philips).
Disconnect your wireless Ethernet bridge from the
PC and connect it to the NETWORK connection at
the bottom of your TV.
( Reconnect your PC to your network.

Annex 2 :Wireless network security
Attention
Since wireless computer networks use radio
signals, it is possible for other wireless
network devices outside your immediate area
to pick up the wireless signals and either
connect to your network or to capture the
network traffic.
Consult the user manual supplied with your
wireless Access point or wireless Ethernet
bridge for further information.
DO
Viruses, spyware and other malicious programs can
undermine the security of your network. Use the
appropriate software to protect your PC from
these threats.
Change the default passwords for your network
devices. Leaving these at default makes it easy for
an outsider to gain access.
Note: If you change passwords, write them down and
store them in a safe location.
Use a router or a Wireless Access Point with
Network Address Translation (NAT) or a firewall.
In a wireless network, enable the highest WEP key
level that your hardware provides for. Upgrade
your hardware, if possible. If you do not protect
your wireless network, all data from your PC might
be accessible to, for example, your neighbours or
passers-by.
Switch off SSID broadcast on the Wireless Access
Point.
Position your Wireless Access Point away from
windows and towards the centre of your home.
This decreases the strenght of the signal outside
your home.
Some access points can control access based on
the unique MAC address of the network devices
trying to connect to it. See the documentation of
your network devices to retrieve the MAC
addresses.
For the MAC address of your TV, see Annex 3,
Manual Network Installation,View Network
settings, p.13.
DONT
Dont rely on radio transmission range limitations
to secure your network.
Dont use WEP/WPA keys and passwords that are
easy to guess.
Dont use passphrases to secure your wireless
network as incompatibility with other brands of
wireless network devices may occur.

Glossary
Access point:This is a wireless device that is
often added to a wired network to enable wireless

operation. It can also be used in an ad-hoc
network configuration.
Ad-Hoc network:A direct network connection
between two devices ( two PCs, or a PC and a TV).

DHCP: Refers to Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol used by many routers to automatically

connect computers to the network. Please, refer to
your router or gateway hardware instructions to
see if this is supported.
The router acts as a DHCP server.This server
allocates IP addresses, netmasks, and the gateway
address to all DHCP client computers and devices
in the network automatically.
DNS:The Domain Name System is a distributed
Internet directory service. DNS is used mostly to

translate between domain names and IP addresses,
and to control e-mail delivery.
DivX 4, DivX 5, XviD: a digital video
compression format based on the MPEG-4

technology, used mainly for downloadable movies
on the Internet.
Ethernet: Ethernet is a well-established local area
networking standard, and is incorporated into (or
available for) most computers.
Firewall:A firewall acts as a barrier that helps
protect your network from intruders from the

Internet.The firewall specifies what information can
be communicated from the computers on your
network to the Internet, and from the Internet to
the computers on your network.
Gateway:The address of the upper device that
has a connection to the Internet.

A Gateway router is a network component that
attaches to your cable or ADSL modem. It allows
multiple computers or other devices to be
connected together and to share the same
broadband Internet connection.
(A wireless router is required for wireless
connection.)
IP addresses uniquely
identify every network or host on the Internet.
Every computer in a network has a unique IP
address.
MAC address: (Media Access Control address)
Each device (e.g. PC Ethernet card, router, wireless
Ethernet adapter, ...) that can be connected to a
network has a unique hardware address.
MP3:A popular standard audio compression
format used on the Internet. Most commonly used
to play audio on computer.
MP3 Pro:A newer MP3 format. Offers an
improvement in compressed sound quality.

MPEG 4: standard for audio/video compression,
with higher compression rate than MPEG 2.
Netmask:A netmask is used to define a sub-net
which is separated from all other networks by a

router.The netmask indicates which part of the IP
address is on the local network, and which must go
out through the router.
PC Link: PC Link is a feature that enables you to
transfer music, picture or movie files from the
computer(s) on your home network to your TV.
You need to install the Philips Media Manager
software to use PC Link.
Philips Media Manager:The software you need
to install and have active on your PC to be able to
access music, pictures and video on your PC.
