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.
Leave at least 4” to 6” free all around the TV.
• Do not place the TV on a carpet.
• 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.
• To prevent damaging the power (AC) cord which could
cause a fire or electric shock, do not place the TV on
the cord.
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 color fading.
A characteristic of LCD and Plasma Display Panels is that
displaying the same image for a long time can cause a
permanent after-image to remain on the screen. 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 all-inclusive
list, you may encounter others in your viewing):
• TV menus;
• 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.
Installing the TV requires special skills that should only be
performed by qualified personnel.You should not attempt
to do the work yourself. Philips bears no responsibility for
improper mounting or mounting that results in accident
or injury. Make sure that the wall mount is being fixed
securely enough so that it meets safety standards.

Your TV display is made with high-precision technology
with a high number of colour pixels.Although it has

points of light (red, green or blue) may appear constantly
