H ___rave you ever played hide and
••seek with your remote
:ontrol? Are you tired of tearing
the' house apart trying tofind if
someone has stuffed the remote
under the couch, put it on the
shelves, or hid it in the desk? Well,
your TV remote can save you all
that looking by automatically
signaling its location to you.
Here's how it works:
I_ Press the POWER button on
<the set to turn the TV ON.
Note: Normally you can press any
button on the front of the TV to
tuna the set ON. But for the remote
locator to work you need to be sure
to use the Power button at the TV.
"LOCATING REMOTE" shows on
the TV screen.
<_ Within a few seconds a
chirping or beeping sound will
begin to come from the remote
control hand unit.
•The remote will continue to signal
slocation for around 30 seconds.
i Normal TV program sound wilt not
be heard while the remote locator is
working.
_Once you remote just
find the
press any button on the remote and
the beeping sound will stop.
The remote is now ready for
normal TV feature use.
O
Remember., the remote
locator may not properly
receive its '%oming"signal from
the TV if it has been placed on a
metal shelf or counter material.
Also, since there's a special type
of radio frequency '%oming"
signal receiver inside the remote
we are required to notify you that
any changes or modifications not
xpressly approved by Philips
Consumer Electronics Company
could void the user's authority to
operate the remote equipment.
Your "IV is attempting [
to locate a lost remote I
Remote Locator
range is around 30 Feet.
<
I
For most homes this step would
not be needed but for your
information:
Up to 9 different remote locator
address codes can be set on which the
TV can send out its "homing" signal.
This is done in case there is more than
one TV (with a remote Iocator)
oresent, and you want only one
specific remote to be signaled when the
TV is turned ON.*
To set a Locator Address Code:
With "IVturned ON, press the TV
System button first and then the
LOCATOR CODE button on the
remote.
You will need a pencil or pen to press
the recessed button.
The TV shows the present Remote
Locator Code.
>Press any number button (0-9) on
the remote to set or change the Locator
Code.
The remote will beep to let you know
it has received the new Locator Code
and then return to its normal operating
mode.1 0
Remember, if batteries are replaced the
Locator Code will need to be
reentered.
When setting the Locator Code if any
button, other than the number buttons,
are pressed the remote will return to its
normal operation mode.
*For owners who live in an apartment
(townhouse or condominium)
complex, this task may be necessary
since the remote Iocator's signal can be
sent and detected directly through
adjoining walls.

iCAUTION: A video source (such as a video game, Compact Disc Interactive - CDI, or
iTV information channel) which shows a constant non-moving pattern on the TV screen,
can cause picture tube damage. When your TV is continuously used with such a source
the pattern of the non-moving portion of the game (CDI, etc.) could leave an image
permanently on the picture tube. When not in use, turn the video source OFF.
Regularly alternate the use of such video sources with normal TV viewing.
Check the TV power cord. Unplug the TV, wait 10 seconds, then reinsert plug into
outlet and push POWER button again.
Check to be sure outlet is not on a wall switch.
Check antenna connections. Are the properly secured to the TV's ANT/CABLE plug ?
Check the CABLE/YES NO control for correct position.
Check INPUT control for correct position. VCR-AUX or S-VIDEO position without a
signal source will result in a blank screen. Also the TV's S-VIDEO Input plug cannot
be used as another video source to be shown in the PIP window.
Check the VOLUME buttons.
Check the MUTE button on the remote control.
Check the SPEAKER on-screen control. OFF position will eliminate sound at the set.
If attempting auxiliary equipment hook-ups, check audio jack connections.
Check TV-VCR-CBL "System" buttons on the remote. Press the remote's "IV System

Cleaning and Care
•To avoid possible shock hazard be sure the TV is unplugged from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
• When cleaning the TV screen take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface (avoid wearing jewelry or using
anything abrasive). Wipe the front screen with a clean cloth dampened with water. Use even, easy, vertical strokes when
cleaning.
• Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or sponge dampened in a solution of cool clear water. Use a clean dry
cloth to dry the wiped surfaces.
• Occasionally vacuum the ventilation holes or slots in the cabinet back.
• Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as they might cause permanent marring
of the cabinet finish.

voice content of television programs on the TV screen. Designed to
help the hearing impaired this feature uses on-screen"text boxes" to
show dialogue and conversations while the TV program is in progress.

connectors (RCA phono type plug) are used for the input of audio and
videosignals. Designed for use with VCRs(orother accessories) in
order to receivehigher picture resolutionand offer sound connection
options.

operat!ng code for another product (such as a VCR or Cable Converter).
Once the code has been "identified" then the TV remote can operate
and send commands to the other product.
Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) *The broadcast standard that
allows for stereo sound to be transmittedwith the TV picture.

generated by the television (or VCR) to help the user with specific
feature controls (color adjustment, programming, etc.).
Menu * An on-screen listing of featurecontrols shown on the
Televisionscreen that are made available for user adjustments.
Picture -In-Picture (PIP) * Term used when two pictures are shown
on theTV screen at thesame time.The smaller PIPpicture is supplied
bya VCR(or othertuner/video playback source). The PIPpicture can
also be moved and swapped withthe TV's main screen picture.

for the displays to "time out" or automatically:disappeax" from the

strand 300 Ohm antenna wire used with many indoor and outdoor
antenna systems. In many cases this type of antenna wire requires an
