Service for you
Your colour television has been designed and manufactured to
the highest standards, and subject to rigorous testing. Provided
it is properly operated and maintained it will perform well for
many years. However, we ail know that in such complex
equipment components can sometimes fail.
The legal responsibility for meeting any in-guarantee service
needs for your receiver rests with the dealer from whom you
bought it. Our own Service Division - Philips Service - provides
your dealer with comprehensive technical advice, and distributes
approved spare parts from Service Centres throughout the
country. If your dealer has no service facilities, he can arrange
for any work to be carried out by a competent third party
organisation.
In any event you may expect speedy attention to restore your set
to full working order without delay.
Free service for 12 months:
The dealer from whom the receiver was purchased will arrange
for any defect in manufacture or material to be rectified without
charge for a period of 12 months from the date of initial
consumer sale provided:
• reasonable evidence is supplied that the set was purchased
within 12 months prior to the date of claim
• the defect is not due to use of the set on an incorrect voltage
or contrary to the Company’s Operating Instructions or to
accidental damage (whether in transit or otherwise); misuse;
neglect; unauthorised or inexpert modification or repair.

All enquiries and claims can be handled more efficiently if
accompanied by the Identity Card printed on the back cover of
this booklet - this is provided for your reference and should be
kept In a safe place.
Positioning the TV
For the best results, choose a position where light does not fall
directly on the screen, and at some distance away from radiators
or other sources of heat. Leave a space of no less than 3 cm all
round the set for ventilation, making sure that curtains,
cupboards etc. cannot obstruct the air flow through the
ventilation apertures.
The set is intended for use in a domestic environment only and
should never be operated or stored in excessively hot or humid
atmospheres.
Fitting the stand (if provided)
Use only the stand provided with the set, making sure that the
fixings are properly tightened. A diagram showing how to
assemble the stand is packed in the castor bag. Never use a
make-shift stand, or legs fixed with woodscrews.
Mains connection
Before connecting the TV set to the mains, check that the mains
supply voltage corresponds to the voltage printed on the type
plate on the rear panel of the TV. If the mains voltage is different,
consult your dealer.
Important
The wires in the mains lead are coloured according to the
following code.
BLUE = NEUTRAL
BROWN = LIVE
If the mains plug (or adaptor) contains a fuse, the value of this
fusé should be 3 amp. Alternatively, if another type of plug (not
fused), is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be
greater than 5 Amp.
If the colours of the wires in the mains lead do not correspond
with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug,
proceed as follows:
The BLUE wire should be connected to the terminal marked ’N’
or coloured black.
The BROWN wire should be connected to the terminal marked
’L’ or coloured red. Before replacing the plug cover, make
certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead
- not simply over the two wires.
Connecting the aerial
The aerial should be connected to the socket marked nr at the
back of the set. An inferior aerial is likely to result in a poor,
perhaps unstable picture with ghost images and lack of contrast.
Make-shift loft or set-top aerials are often inadequate. Your
dealer will know from experience the most suitable type for your
locality.
Should you wish to use the set in conjunction with other
equipment, which connects to the aerial socket such as TV
games, or a video camera it is recommended that these be
connected via a combiner unit to avoid repeated connection and
disconnection of the aerial plug.
General Points
Please take note of the section ‘General’ at the end of the
English section in this booklet.
Interference
The Department of Trade and Industry operates a Radio
Investigation Service to help TV licence holders improve
reception of BBC and IBA programmes where these are being
spoilt by interference. If your dealer cannot help, ask at a main
Post Office for the booklet ‘Howto Improve Television and Radio
Reception’.
Stereo TV sound
At present there are no TV broadcasts in the UK with stereo
sound. TV sets with stereo sound facilities will reproduce stereo
sound from suitable external sources connected via the
Euroconnector socket, eg. stereo Video Recorder replaying
pre-recorded material.
