Using Active Control™ Plus Active Control™ Plus monitors incoming video signals from the Tuner, AV1, AV2, and Side inputs and adjusts key picture settings for best picture quality. In addition to measuring picture noise, this feature uses an ambient light sensor (located on the front of the TV) to adjust the picture settings according to viewing conditions in the room. When you choose to turn Active Control™ Plus on, you have the options Minimum, Medium, or Maximum. Maximum is the recommended option.
Selecting an AutoPicture™ Option Whether you’re watching a movie or playing a video game, your TV has automatic video control settings to match your current program source or content. AutoPicture™ quickly resets your TV’s video controls for a number of different types of programs and viewing conditions that you may have in your home. The Personal AutoPicture™ settings are the same as the Picture control adjustments made within the on-screen menu.
Adjusting/Setting the Picture Controls To adjust your TV picture controls, select a channel and follow these steps. Picture Sound Features Channels TV 1 2 3 Press the Menu button on the remote control to show the on-screen menu.

Selecting a Digital Processing Option The Digital Processing control gives you a choice of different picture scanning modes. Progressive Scan doubles the number of picture lines, eliminating line flicker and providing a jitter-free picture. Movie Plus provides motion compensation to increase clarity around moving images in the picture.
Selecting a Dynamic Contrast Option The Dynamic Contrast control allows you to sharpen the picture quality by making dark portions of the picture darker and light portions of the picture more noticeable. Normally, you will probably want to select Medium. In certain circumstances, however, you may prefer Minimum or Maximum.
Selecting a DNR (Dynamic Noise Reduction) Option For many reasons, one of which is poor cable reception, the picture can sometimes appear slightly “speckled” (an indication of signal noise in the picture). The DNR (Dynamic Noise Reduction) control can help eliminate this type of interference and improve the quality of the picture.
Turning on Color Enhancement The Color Enhancement control can improve the picture quality of pictures with a high saturation of color. This control works in four ways: Dynamic Blue Stretch corrects the white colors toward a more bluish-colored white without changing the other colors. Improves the sharpness of the picture. Green Enhancement offers a more saturated green color in case of low green broadcasts, giving landscapes a fresher and brighter look.
Selecting a Picture Format Option Your TV’s wide screen (16:9 aspect ratio) delivers a home-cinema experience that isn’t possible with a conventional (4:3 aspect ratio) set. The 16:9 format of high-definition (HD) programs and other widescreen-format video sources appear more lifelike, dramatic, and theatrical. Black or gray bars are diminished or eliminated.
Selecting a Picture Format Option Choose a picture format size to match the type of program you’re watching.

Turning the AVL (Audio Volume Leveler) on or off You may have noticed the peaks and valleys of sound that occur between program changes or at commercial breaks. The volume levels often vary considerably. By turning on the AVL (Audio Volume Leveler) control, you can make your TV produce a more consistent volume level. Follow the steps below to turn AVL on.
Adjusting the Delta Volume The volume level coming from channel to channel and broadcast to broadcast can vary widely.

CLEANING THE TV WARNING Be sure the TV is unplugged before cleaning it. To avoid possible shock hazard, be sure the TV is unplugged from the electrical outlet before cleaning. Cleaning the Cabinet • Regularly dust the TV cabinet with a dry, nonscratching duster. • Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a soft, clean cloth. • Occasionally vacuum the ventilation slots on the back cover of the set. See the next section on “Cleaning or Replacing the Filters.
Cleaning or Replacing the Filters The Cineos TV has two filters that cover air inlets on the bottom of the set. Maintaining a free flow of air through the inlets is very important. If the air filters become dirty, clogged, or blocked, the temperature in the set will rise. SERVICE 12C Should the heat level become too high due to blockage, a sensor detects this, and a warning message appears on screen alerting you to check the air inlets for blockage. The message will be displayed for 6 seconds.
Replacing the Lamp The Cineos TV uses a lamp with a limited lifetime to illuminate the picture. A Lifetime counter in the TV records the operating time of the lamp. One hundred hours before the lamp reaches the end of its life, a warning message will appear on screen. This will allow you to prepare to replace the lamp or take action right away. The message will disappear within 6 seconds. It will reappear each time the TV is turned on until the lamp is replaced.
Replacing the Lamp Continued from page 71. 5 CAUTION: When removing the lamp, do not touch the glass envelope. It may still be hot. 5 Grasp the handle, then pull out and slightly down to remove. WARNING: The lamp contains mercury. Dispose of the lamp in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. 6 CAUTION: When installing the new lamp, do not touch the glass envelope. Oil from skin can reduce lamp life.
Resetting the Lamp’s Lifetime Counter After installing a new lamp in the TV, you need to enter the “Lamp rating” list in the onscreen menu and select the alphabetical code that is provided with the lamp. The recommended Philips replacement Lamp is rated for 6000 hours, an F rating Picture Sound Features Channels TV Settings TV Demo Install Press the Cursor Right button to select the “General” menu.
