T
he HD INPUT-AV 4 and HD INPUT-AV 5
jacks allow you to connect digital equip-
ment with 1080i or 480p signal output.
What You Can Connect to the
High-definition Input Jacks
1
HD INPUT-AV 4—use to connect digital
equipment with a 1080i or a 480p signal
output, such as HD receivers (1080i or
480p) or DVD players with progressive-
scan capability (480p). You can connect
equipment with YPbPr component video
or RGB outputs to the HD INPUT-AV 4
jacks. H and V Sync connections may or
may not be required for RGB connec-
tions. (See
page 57.) Dedicated audio input
jacks are located with the HD INPUT-AV 4
video jacks.
NOTE: The Picture-in-Picture (PIP) feature
is not available for use with AV 4.
2
HD INPUT-AV 5—accepts a digital video
interface (DVI) plug, which uses digital
data in the format data standard called
Transition Minimized Differential
Signaling (TMDS). Use HD INPUT-AV 5
to connect digital equipment with DVI
(digital video interface) 1080i or 480p out-
put. DVI is a specific digital input allow-
ing encrypted transmission of uncom-
pressed HD content. DVI includes HDCP
(high-bandwidth digital content protec-
tion), which is supported by the motion
picture industry, satellite providers, and
most of the consumer electronics industry.
DVI is gaining momentum and quickly
becoming an industry standard for the
consumer to view high-definition material
while keeping content protected. For
sound, use the
dedicated audio input jacks
located with the HD INPUT-AV 5 DVI jack.
NOTE: The Picture-in-Picture (PIP)
feature is not available for use with AV5.

• The TV’s default color-space setting for HD
INPUT-AV 4 is YPbPr. If the picture looks
grossly incorrect, try changing the color-space
setting on either the digital equipment or the
TV. For more information on setting the color
space on the digital equipment, see the equip-
ment’s directions-for-use manual. To set the
TV’s color space, see page 59 in this manual.
• This television is designed to be compatible
with high-definition signal standards 1080i
and 480p as specified by the Electronic
Industries Association standard EIA770.3.
Because output standards may vary by manu-
facturer, you may encounter some digital
equipment that will not properly display pic-
tures on the TV.
• The PIP (Picture-in-picture) feature
allows
you to tune to a program in the main window
and scan other channels in the PIP window.
From a single antenna or cable input, signals
are separated into two signals within the tele-
vision. The AV1, AV2, and AV3 inputs are
also available as PIP sources.
HELPFUL HINTS
Because DVI is such new technology, the
electronics industry is still working toward
a decision on one standard. Philips testing
has determined that compatibility issues
exist with respect to a limited number of
high-definition receivers when they are
connected to the DVI input on this televi-
sion. If you should experience difficulties,
please contact our Customer Care Center at
1-800-531-0039.
