Preparation
Do not insert the power plug in a wall socket before
all connections are made.
Place the TV on a solid surface.
For ventilation, leave at least 4” to 6” free all around the TV. Do
not place the TV on a carpet. To prevent any unsafe
situations, no naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,
should be placed in the vicinity. Avoid heat, direct sunlight and
exposure to rain or water. The equipment shall not be exposed
to dripping or splashing.
Mounting the TV on the wall
This TV set complies with the VESA standard for wall mounting.
Due to the integrated DVD player design of your TV, a set of
mounting screw extensions will be required to properly mount
your TV to a VESA certified wall mount plate. You can contact
Philips at 1 800 705 2000 to purchase these screw extensions
before attempting to complete your installation.
Caution: Installing the TV requires special skills that should
only be performed by qualified personnel. You should not
attempt to do the work yourself. Magnavox bears no
responsibility for improper mounting or mounting that
results in accident or injury.
Make sure that the wall mount is being fixed securely enough so
that it meets safety standards.
Basic connections to the TV
Your integrated digital TV automatically decodes and
displays the four basic DTV picture resolution standards.
- SDTV (Standard Definition TV) are broadcast as 480i
(480-line interlaced) or 480p (480-line progressive scan)
video.
- HDTV (High-Definition TV) are broadcast either in the
1080i or 720p formats, always with a widescreen picture.
Note: Progressive scan video (p) is more like what you see in a
movie theater. Images are much more distinct, free of flicker
and motion is smoother.
Your TV has an integrated HDTV tuner, which receives and
decodes terrestrial ATSC and unscrambled cable (QAM)
signals and displays them. There are two ways to obtain
HDTV content:
- through a cable provider
- through an antenna.
Note: Use the illustrations on the left for cable or Antenna
connections.
