Features; Onscreen Menu; Channel Editing - Philips 32RF50S Directions For Use Manual

Audio/Video Jack Panel allows direct connections with
VCRs, DVDs, or other devices, providing quality TV picture
and sound playback.
Audio Volume Leveler (AVL) Control keeps the TV sound
at an even level. Peaks and valleys that occur during pro-
gram changes or commercial breaks are reduced, making for
a more consistent, comfortable sound.
AutoChron™ automatically sets the right time of day and
maintains it with digital precision through brownouts, power
failures, and even Daylight Savings Time adjustments.
AutoLock™ allows you to block the viewing of certain
channels or programs with certain ratings if you do not want
your children to view inappropriate materials.
Auto Programming scans (when activated) for all available
channels from regular antenna or cable signals and stores
only active broadcast stations in the TV's memory.
AutoPicture™ allows you to change the picture settings
(color, tint, contrast, etc.) for various types of programming,
such as sports, movies, multimedia (games), or weak signals
with the push of one button.
AutoSound™ allows you to select from three factory-set
controls and a personal control that you set according to your
own preferences through the onscreen Sound menu. The three
factory-set controls (Voice, Music, and Theatre) enable you to
tailor the TV sound so as to enhance the particular program-
ming you are watching.
Channel Edit allows you to add or delete channels from the
list stored in the TV's memory. Channel Edit makes it easy
to limit or expand the number of channels that are available
to you when you press the Channel (+) or (–) buttons on your
remote control.
Closed Captioning allows the viewer to read TV program
dialogue or voice conversations as onscreen text.
ImageMax™ helps you sharpen the picture quality by mak-
ing dark portions of the picture darker and light portions
brighter.
Infrared Remote Control works your TV and other remote-
controlled devices, such as VCRs, DVD players, cable con-
verters, and satellite receivers.
Onscreen Menu shows helpful messages and instructions for
setting TV feature controls (can be viewed in English,
French, or Spanish).
Sleep Timer automatically turns the TV OFF after a set
amount of time that you choose.
Standard Broadcast (VHF/UHF) or Cable TV (CATV)
channel capability allows for viewing by antenna or cable.
Stereo capability, including a built-in audio amplifier and
twin-speaker system, allows for the reception of TV programs
broadcast in stereo sound.
Surf Button allows you to easily switch among only the
channels that are of interest to you (the ones that you have
programmed into the TV's Surf control through the onscreen
menu).
Timer allows you to set your TV to turn itself ON and OFF
once or daily like an alarm clock.
