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, in complex equipment components can
sometimes fail.
The legal responsibility for meeting any in-guarantee service
needs for your TV is 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 TV
to full working order without delay.
Free service for 12 months:
The dealer from whom the TV 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 sales
provided:
e reasonable evidence is supplied that the TV was purchased
within 12 months prior to the date of claim
e the defect is not due to use of the TV 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.
The picture tube guarantee is administered by Mullard Limited.
In addition to the customary 1 year free tube guarantee, Mullard
will extend the guarantee period by a further 3 years for a

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 at least 3 cm all
around the TV for ventilation, making sure that curtains,
cupboards etc. cannot obstruct the air flow through the
ventilation apertures.
The TV is intended for use in a domestic environment only and
should never be operated or stored in excessively hot or humid
atmospheres.
Mains connection
Before connecting the TV 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
fuse 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 must be connected to the terminal marked 'N' or
coloured black.
The BROWN wire must 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
only over the two wires.

Connecting the loop aerial (if provided)
The loop aerial will give satisfactory reception under good signal
conditions. Fix the loop aerial bracket at the mounting-socket
located on the back of the TV. Connect the aerial plug to the
ar socket on the TV.
If you want to use the TV in conjunction with other equipment
which connects to the aerial socket (such as TV games, or à
video camera) we recommend that these are connected via a
combiner unit to avoid repeated connection and disconnection of
the aerial plug.

Interference
The Department of Trade and Industry operates a Radio

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 'How to Improve Television and Radio
Reception'.
