Important 
Congratulations NonPu bl i sh 
Congratulations on your purchase, and 
welcome to Philips! To fully benefit from the 
support that Philips offers, register your TV 
at (http://www.philips.com/welcome). 
Safety NonPu bl i sh 
Read and understand all instructions before 
you use your TV. If damage is caused by 
failure to follow instructions, the warranty 
does not apply. 
Risk of electric shock or fire! 
Never expose the TV to rain or water. 
Never place liquid containers, such as vases, 
near the TV. If liquids are spilt on or into the 
TV, disconnect the TV from the power 
outlet immediately. Contact Philips 
Consumer Care to have the TV checked 
before use. 
 Never insert objects into the ventilation 
slots or other openings on the TV. 
 When the TV is swivelled, ensure that 
no strain is exerted on the power cord. 
Strain on the power cord can loosen 
connections and cause arcing. 
 Never place the TV, remote control or 
batteries near naked flames or other 
heat sources, including direct sunlight. 
To prevent the spread of fire, keep 
candles or other flames away from the 
TV, remote control and batteries at all 
times. 
 
Risk of short circuit or fire! 
 Never expose the remote control or 
batteries to rain, water or excessive 
heat. 
 Avoid force coming onto power plugs. 
Loose power plugs can cause arcing or 
fire. 
Risk of injury or damage to the TV! 
 Two people are required to lift and 
carry a TV that weighs more than 25 
kg/55 lbs. 
 When stand mounting the TV, use only 
the supplied stand. Secure the stand to 
the TV tightly. Place the TV on a flat, 
level surface that can support the 
combined weight of the TV and the 
stand. 
 When wall mounting the TV, use only a 
wall mount that can support the weight 
of the TV. Secure the wall mount to a 
wall that can support the combined 
weight of the TV and wall mount. 
Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. bears 
no responsibility for improper wall 
mounting that result in accident, injury 
or damage. 
 Before you connect the TV to the 
power outlet, ensure that the power 
voltage matches the value printed on 
the back of the TV. Never connect the 
TV to the power outlet if the voltage is 
different. 
Risk of injury to children! 
Follow these precautions to prevent the TV 
from toppling over and causing injury to 
children:    Never place the TV on a surface 
covered by a cloth or other material 
that can be pulled away. 
 Ensure that no part of the TV hangs 
over the edge of the mounting surface. 
 Never place the TV on tall furniture, 
such as a bookcase, without anchoring 
both the furniture and TV to the wall or 
a suitable support. 
 Educate children about the dangers of 
climbing on furniture to reach the TV. 
Risk of overheating! 
 Never install the TV in a confined space. 
Always leave a space of at least 4 inches 
around the TV for ventilation. Ensure 
curtains or other objects never cover 
the ventilation slots on the TV. 
  
						

							  
EN      4           
  
Risk of injury, fire or power cord damage! 
 Never place the TV or any objects on 
the power cord. 
 To easily disconnect the TV power cord 
from the power outlet, ensure that you 
have full access to the power cord at all 
times. 
 When you disconnect the power cord, 
always pull the plug, never the cable. 
 Disconnect the TV from the socket and 
aerial before lightning storms. During 
lightning storms, never touch any part of 
the TV, power cord or aerial cable. 
Risk of hearing damage! 
Avoid using earphones or headphones at 
high volumes or for prolonged periods of 
time. 
Low temperatures 
If the TV is transported in temperatures 
below 5°C/41°F, unpack the TV and wait 
until the TV temperature matches room 
temperature before connecting the TV to 
the power socket.  
Screen care NonPu bl i sh  Risk of damage to the TV screen! Never 
touch, push, rub or strike the screen 
with any object. 
 Unplug the TV before cleaning. 
 Clean the TV and frame with a soft 
damp cloth. Never use substances such 
as alcohol, chemicals or household 
cleaners on the TV. 
 To avoid deformations and colour 
fading, wipe off water drops as soon as 
possible. 
 Avoid stationary images as much as 
possible. Stationary images are images 
that remain on-screen for extended 
periods of time. Stationary images 
include on-screen menus, black bars, 
time displays etc. If you must use 
stationary images, reduce screen 
contrast and brightness to avoid screen 
damage.
