1. Introduction 
 
The Philips Mirror TV combines an interactive flat LCD TV together with the reflectivity of a 
mirror to provide an innovative 2-in-1 product for the customer.  
 
This document covers the 32”-42” Landscape and portrait Mirror TV (model number 
32PM8822 / 42PM8822) 
 
The Mirror TV product utilizes the existing LCD TV technology of the Philips 32”-42” LCD 
models, and therefore it provides many of the same features. For familiarity purposes, the 
existing Directions For Use (DFU) documentation for the 32”- 42” LCD models can also be 
used for the Mirror TV. Some differences may apply, and these differences will be covered in 
this document. 
 
The user is advised to read this document first in order to understand what are the differences 
between a Mirror TV and the 32”- 42” LCD TV on which the Mirror TV is based. The user 
should read through the DFU of the 32”- 42” LCD TV (provided with this product) for greater 
details of the TV specifics and functions. 
 
Once the differences are understood, the rest of the information on connectivity, safety, 
remote-control usage, and so forth are the same as that in the DFU of the 32”- 42” LCD TV.  
 
This document describes various elements specific to the Mirror TV application, including:

2. Safety Precautions And Cleaning Procedures 
 
The safety precautions and cleaning procedures for the Mirror TV are similar to that of the 
32”- 42” LCD TV, and can be referenced to the respective sections \
in the DFU of that 
product. Please refer to the DFU (included with your product) for more information. 
 
However, to ensure that the Mirror TV continues to provide excellent and durable 
performance, the following safety precautions are strongly advised: 
 
1. Do not shift or move the Mirror TV when it is powered on. 
2. Do not touch, push, or rub the surface of the mirror glass with any sharp or hard 
objects. 
3. For proper ventilation, provide at least 5 cm from the top and bottom of the Mirror TV 
back panel to allow for a free flow of air. 
4. If the Mirror TV unit is mounted into an enclosed space (for example, in-wall 
mounting), it is strongly recommended to provide ventilation slots at the top and 
bottom to allow for greater airflow and better ventilation. Without any ventilation 
slots, the ambient temperature should not exceed 25 degrees Celsius. It is 
recommended to create ventilation slots of 70cm x 2cm at both the top and bottom of 
the wall, which would allow ambient temperatures up to 35 degrees Celsius.  
5. Do not place the Mirror TV near a radiator or other sources of heat, or near areas 
where it can be exposed to rain. The Mirror TV complies with the general safety 
standards of consumer products. 
6. It is also advisable not to place the Mirror TV under bright lighting or direct sunlight, as 
this could adversely affect the brightness of the LCD display and the overall quality of 
the picture. 
 
To ensure that the Mirror TV continues to provide excellent picture and mirror quality, the 
following cleaning procedures are suggested: 
 
1. To avoid possible shock hazard, it is advised to power off and unplug th\
e Mirror TV 
before cleaning. 
2. To clean the surface from dust, wipe it gently with an absorbent cotton cloth or other 
soft material (like chamois). Avoid abrasive materials or wearing jeweled adornments 
such as bracelets or rings, which may scratch the mirror glass surface. Use even, easy 
vertical strokes when cleaning. 
3. Do NOT use acetone, toluene, alcohol, or other liquid or aerosol cleaners to clean the 
surface of the glass.  
4. Wipe off any form of water from the screen as soon as possible. Be careful of 
condensation when temperature changes occur, as condensation can cause damage to 
the electrical parts and LCD screen.  
5. If possible, occasionally vacuum the ventilation holes or slots in the back cover of the 
Mirror TV.

3. Guidelines on Installing the Mirror TV 
 
Before installing the Mirror TV, the following considerations should be taken into account to 
ensure that the best viewing experience is achieved.  
 
Avoidance of Reflections 
 
Aside from selecting an aesthetically pleasing location for the set, avoidance of reflections from 
bright light sources (such as windows or light fittings) in the mirror in the viewing direction is 
very important when the TV is being viewed. In this regard, the location of both the viewer and 
the viewing direction are important when deciding where to place a MiraVision set in a room. 
 
Reflection of bright background light sources should also be avoided when the MiraVision set is 
used as a mirror. For mirror purposes, it is recommended to place light sources (such as table-
top lamps) to the side of the MiraVision set, thereby lighting the subject that is being reflected 
by the mirror. 
 
Audio Requirements 
 
MiraVision sets have mounted on loudspeakers located at the rear of the set.  
 
 
 
 
  
 
Depending on the location of the MiraVision set in a room, it may prove worthwhile to 
consider the use of external loudspeakers. These can be connected to the MiraVision set via 
the speaker terminals at the rear. External speakers can be used when mounting circumstances 
restrict the sound output of the onboard speakers (example, when mounting the MiraVision in-
wall).  
 
Refer to the section External Speaker Connectors in this document for more information on the 
use of the external loudspeakers. 
 
4. Placement the Decorative Frame 
 
The Mirror TV is designed to be flexible and allow customers to change the decorative frame 
according to their tastes.  Before replacing the standard decorative frame with a custom frame, 
please take note of the following:

Important points to observe when changing decorative frames 
 
1. It is strongly recommended that this operation be conducted in a dust-free 
environment. This will help to ensure the continued quality of the Mirror TV display 
after the new custom frame has been attached. 
 
2. The design of the new decorative frame must conform to certain dimension guidelines 
to ensure that it will attach securely to the steel mounting frame of the Mirror TV. For 
the dimensions, refer to the sections Custom Decorative Frame Profile and mounting Frame 
Dimensions for Mirror TV later in this document. 
 
3. Any new custom decorative frame should conform to the following guidelines: 
 
a. The new custom decorative frame should provide a hole to be able to plac\
e the 
plastic Infrared receiver (located at the lower right portion of the Mirror TV 
original décor frame) as this could interfere with the performance of the Mirror 
TV Remote Control. 
 
4. The same decorative frames can be be re-used multiple times, as the clicking device on 
the mounting frame is suitable for multiple usage. Any changes to the Mirror TV, 
including the replacement of the decorative frames, is performed at the customer’s own 
risk. Therefore it is strongly recommended that the services of a professional installer 
be used to make these changes. 
 
 
Directions on changing the Mirror TV decorative frames 
 
To replace the existing decorative frame with a new frame, follow these directions: 
 
 
1. At the beginning the Mirror TV will hang on the wall
