SMARTSURF™ Eliminates the frustration of
trying to remember what channels had programs of
interest while channel surfing. After establishing the
SmartSurf
™ configuration with the user-friendly
menu, the viewer can store up to ten stations in the
SmartSurf
™ memory and then surf only those
channels at the touch of a button. The versatility of
this feature is enhanced by the availability of an on-
screen list of the channels stored and offers the
option of adding or deleting channels in the list by
remote control.
SMARTCLOCK™ Finally, an accurate digital
clock that’s always right! By monitoring the vertical
blanking interval of PBS broadcasts, Philips
Magnavox TVs equipped with SmartClock can
automatically set the right time of day and maintain
it through brown-outs, power failures, and even
daylight savings time adjustments.
SMARTMUTE™ An audio mute advancement that
automatically activates closed captioning when the
mute button is pressed. Now dialogue and narratives
(on Closed Caption telecasts) can be displayed on
screen whenever the mute button is pressed, without
the aid of an optional, external decoding device.
EASY FIRST TIME SET-UP This friendly, useful,
smart, and easy feature is available the first time this
TV is turned on with a signal connected. SETUP is
highlighted in the main on-screen menu offering
language selection (English, Spanish, or French), auto
cable select (choice of CATV or ANTENNA), auto
program (automatically storing all available channels
in the tuner memory), and VCR/PIP setup.

ALARM TIMER
The correct time appears on screen
for a few seconds whenever channels are changed,
the status/exit button on the remote control is
pushed, or when the Channel Reminder feature is
engaged. The Sleep Timer automatically turns off the
TV at a pre-set time of up to 120 minutes from the
time the feature is activated. Sleep timer settings are
programmed in 15-minute increments. The Alarm
Timer automatically turns on the TV on a pre-

SMARTSOUND™ When activated,
SmartSound ™ keeps volume levels constant between
programs and commercials, and from one channel to
another. SmartSound
™ constantly monitors the
audio signal, reducing a signal that’s too loud and
increasing a signal that’s too weak.
dbx ® HI-FI STEREO SOUND SYSTEM WITH
SURROUND SOUND JACKS The stereo sound
system built into this monitor/receiver incorporates an
MTS/SAP decoder which permits reception and
reproduction of broadcast stereo television programs,
as well as Second Audio Program transmissions (where
available). It also features spatial stereo sound and
individual bass, treble, and balance controls for
personal listening preference. dbx
® noise reduction
eliminates hiss and high-frequency interference from
the stereo sound reproduction. Connection of
optional, accessory speakers to the surround sound
jacks puts the listener in the center of a more realistic,
expanded sound stage.
INCREDIBLE STEREO™ Pseudo-acoustic
management of the audio signal produces a dramatic
expansion of the wall-of-sound engulfing the listener
and heightening overall viewing pleasure.
• TONE CONTROLS
MAGNAVUE™ A unique combination of contrast
enhancement and color enrichment technology that
produces deeper, more vibrant colors with an
unrivaled picture that’s larger than life.
TWO-TUNER PIP Now you can enjoy all the
benefits of Smart Window™ PIP without a VCR!
With two separate tuners (and two separate
tuner inputs) you can tune to your favorite show
with tuner one, for example, while scanning
other channels with tuner two in the PIP window.
The A/V inputs are also available as a PIP source
so all functions of standard PIP are still
accessible. The main and secondary pictures may
be swapped; position secondary pictures in any
screen corner; even freeze the main picture
information and put it into the inset picture. In all
cases, the main picture is provided with its
corresponding audio. A “size select” menu
function permits the viewer to reduce the size of
the inset picture by approximately 50%.

horizontal resolution 1 , this set provides razor-
sharp picture performance and breathtaking
clarity (through A/V input jacks).
