over the edge of the 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
79LQDFRQÀQHGVSDFH$OZD\VOHDYHD
space of at least 4 inches around the TV
for ventilation. Ensure curtains or other
objects never cover the ventilation slots
on the TV.
Risk of damage to the TV! 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.

9. Pixel policy
Philips strives to deliver the highest quality
products. We use some of the industry's
most advanced manufacturing processes and
practice stringent quality control. However, pixel
or sub pixel defects on the TFT LCD panels
used in flat panel monitors are sometimes
unavoidable. No manufacturer can guarantee
that all panels will be free from pixel defects,
but Philips guarantees that any monitor with
an unacceptable number of defects will be
repaired or replaced under warranty. This notice
explains the different types of pixel defects and
defines acceptable defect levels for each type.
In order to qualify for repair or replacement
under warranty, the number of pixel defects on
a TFT LCD panel must exceed these acceptable
levels. For example, no more than 0.0004% of
the sub pixels on a monitor may be defective.
Furthermore, Philips sets even higher quality
standards for certain types or combinations
of pixel defects that are more noticeable than
others. This policy is valid worldwide.
Pixels and Sub pixels
A pixel, or picture element, is composed of
three sub pixels in the primary colors of red,
green and blue. Many pixels together form an
image. When all sub pixels of a pixel are lit,
the three colored sub pixels together appear
as a single white pixel. When all are dark, the
three colored sub pixels together appear as a
single black pixel. Other combinations of lit and
dark sub pixels appear as single pixels of other
colors.
Set Password

The default password is 0000.
Input a 4-digit password. Be sure to remember
this number!

Note
A red or blue bright dot must be more than 50
percent brighter than neighboring dots while
a green bright dot is 30 percent brighter than
neighboring dots.
Black Dot Defects Black dot defects appear as
pixels or sub pixels that are always dark or 'off'.
That is, a dark dot is a sub-pixel that stands
out on the screen when the monitor displays a
light pattern. These are the types of black dot
defects:
Proximity of Pixel Defects
Because pixel and sub pixels defects of the
same type that are near to one another may be
more noticeable, Philips also specifies tolerances
for the proximity of pixel defects.
Pixel Defect Tolerances
In order to qualify for repair or replacement
due to pixel defects during the warranty period,
a TFT LCD panel in a Philips flat panel monitor
must have pixel or sub pixel defects exceeding
the tolerances listed in the following tables.
Types of Pixel Defects
Pixel and sub pixel defects appear on the
screen in different ways. There are two
categories of pixel defects and several types of
sub pixel defects within each category.
Bright Dot Defects Bright dot defects appear
as pixels or sub pixels that are always lit or 'on'.
That is, a bright dot is a sub-pixel that stands
out on the screen when the monitor displays a
dark pattern. There are the types of bright dot
defects:
One lit red, green or blue sub pixel
Two adjacent lit sub pixels:
- Red + Blue = Purple
- Red + Green = Yellow
- Green + Blue = Cyan (Light Blue)
Three adjacent lit sub pixels (one white pixel)

signal output of the device.
Sound issues
There is a picture but no sound from the TV:
Note
If no audio signal is detected, the TV
automatically switches the audio output off —
this does not indicate malfunction.
Check that all cables are properly
connected.
Check that the volume is not set to 0.
Check that the sound is not muted.
There is a picture but the sound quality is
poor:
Check that the sound settings are
correctly set.
There is a picture but sound comes from
one speaker only:
Verify that sound balance is set to the
centre.
HDMI connection issues
There are problems with HDMI devices:
Note that HDCP support can delay the
time taken for a TV to display content
from a HDMI device.
If the TV does not recognise the HDMI
device and no picture is displayed, try
switching the source from one device to
another and back again.
If there are intermittent sound
disruptions, check that output settings
from the HDMI device are correct.
If a HDMI-to-DVI adaptor or HDMI
to DVI cable is used, check that an
additional audio cable is connected to
AUDIO IN (mini-jack only).
Computer connection issues
The computer display on the TV is not stable:
Check that a supported resolution and
refresh rate is selected on the computer.
Set the TV picture format to unscaled.
