About connections
Connectivity guide
Always connect a device to the TV with the highest
quality connection available. Also, use good quality
cables to ensure a good transfer of picture and
sound.
When you connect a device, the TV recognizes its
type and gives each device a correct type name. You
can change the type name if you wish. If a correct
type name for a device is set, the TV automatically
switches to the ideal TV settings when you switch to
this device in the Sources menu.
If you need help to connect several devices to the TV,
you can visit the Philips TV connectivity guide. The
guide offers information on how to connect and
which cables to use.
Go to www.connectivityguide.philips.com
Antenna port
If you have a Set-top box (a digital receiver) or
Recorder, connect the antenna cables to run the
antenna signal through the Set-top box and/or
Recorder first before it enters the TV. In this way, the
antenna and the Set-top box can send possible
additional channels to the Recorder to record.
HDMI ports
HDMI quality
An HDMI connection has the best picture and sound
quality. One HDMI cable combines video and audio
signals. Use an HDMI cable for TV signal.
For best signal quality transfer, use a High speed
HDMI cable and do not use an HDMI cable longer
than 5 m.
Copy protection
HDMI cables support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital
Content Protection). HDCP is a copy protection signal
that prevents copying content from a DVD disc or Blu-
ray Disc. Also referred to as DRM (Digital Rights
Management).
HDMI ARC
Only HDMI 1 on the TV have HDMI ARC (Audio
Return Channel).
If the device, typically a Home Theatre System (HTS),
also has the HDMI ARC connection, connect it
to HDMI 1 connection on this TV. With the HDMI
ARC connection, you do not need to connect the
extra audio cable that sends the sound of the TV
picture to the HTS. The HDMI ARC connection
combines both signals.
In case you prefer to switch off ARC on HDMI 1 ARC,
press , select Sound and press OK.
Select Advanced > HDMI 1 - ARC.
HDMI CEC - EasyLink
EasyLink
An HDMI connection has the best picture and sound
quality. One HDMI cable combines video and audio
signals. Use an HDMI cable for High Definition (HD)
TV signals. For best signal quality transfer, use a High
speed HDMI cable and do not use an HDMI cable
longer than 5 m.
EasyLink HDMI CEC
If your devices are connected with HDMI and have
EasyLink, you can operate them with the TV remote
control. EasyLink HDMI CEC must be switched On on
the TV and the connected device.
With EasyLink you can operate a connected device
with the TV remote control. EasyLink uses HDMI CEC
6
(Consumer Electronics Control) to communicate with
the connected devices. Devices must support HDMI

DVI connection. Use one of the HDMI connections
and add an Audio L/R cable (mini-jack 3.5mm) to
Audio In for sound, on the back of the TV.
Copy protection
DVI and HDMI cables support HDCP (High-bandwidth
Digital Content Protection). HDCP is a copy protection
signal that prevents copying content from a DVD disc
or Blu-ray Disc. Also referred to as DRM (Digital
Rights Management).
Scart
SCART is a good quality connection.
The SCART connection can be used for CVBS and
RGB video signals but cannot be used for High
Definition (HD) TV signals. The SCART connection
combines video and audio signals. The SCART
connection also supports NTSC playback.

Unicable in the settings, the TV will ask you to assign
the unique user band number for its built-in satellite
receiver. A satellite receiver cannot have the same
user band number as another satellite receiver in the
Unicable system.
User band frequency
Next to the unique user band number, the built-in
satellite receiver needs the frequency of the selected
user band number. These frequencies are mostly
shown next to the user band number on a Unicable
switchbox.
Automatic channel update
If you receive digital channels, you can set the TV to
automatically update the list with new channels.
Alternatively, you can start a channel update yourself.
Automatic channel update
Once a day, at 6 AM, the TV updates the channels
and stores new channels. New channels are stored in
the All channels list but also in the New channels list.
Empty channels are removed.
If new channels are found or if channels are updated
or removed, a message is shown at TV start up. The
TV must be in standby to automatically update
channels.
To switch off the message at start up . . .
1. Press , select Satellite installation and
press OK. Enter your PIN code if necessary.
2. Select Channel update message > Off.
To switch off the Automatic channel update . . .
48
1. Press , select Satellite installation and
press OK. Enter your PIN code if necessary.
2. Select Automatic channel update > Off.
In certain countries, the Automatic channel update is
done while watching TV or any moment when the TV
is in standby.
Homing transponder and LNB
In some countries, you can adjust the expert settings
for homing transponder and each LNB. Only use or
change these settings when a normal installation fails.
If you have non-standard satellite equipment, you
can use these settings to overrule the standard
settings. Some providers might give you some
transponder or LNB valeus which you can enter here.
LNB Power
By default, LNB Power is set to On.
22 kHz Tone
By default, the Tone is set to Auto.
Low LO Frequency / High LO Frequency
The local oscillator frequencies are set to standard
values. Adjust the values only in case of exceptional
equipment that needs different values.
Problems
The TV cannot find the satellites I want or the TV
installs the same satellite twice
- Make sure that the correct number of satellites is set
in Settings at the start of the installation. You can set
the TV to search for One, Two or 3/4 satellites.
A dual head LNB cannot find a second satellite
- If the TV finds one satellite but cannot find a second
one, turn the dish a few degrees. Align the dish to get
the strongest signal on the first satellite. Check the
signal strength indicator of the first satellite on screen.
With the first satellite set at the strongest signal, select
Search again to find the second satellite.
- Make sure the settings are set to Two Satellites.
Changing the installation settings did not solve my
problem
- All settings, satellites and channels are only stored
at the end of the installation when you finish.
All satellite channels are gone
- If you use a Unicable system, make sure you
assigned two unique user band numbers for both
built-in tuners in the Unicable settings. It might be
that another satellite receiver in your Unicable system
is using the same user band number.
Some satellite channels seem to have disappeared
from the channel list
- If some channels seem to be gone or displaced, the
broadcaster might have changed the transponder
location of these channels. To restore the channel
positions in the channel list, you can try an update of
the channel package.
I cannot remove a satellite
- Subscription packages do not allow removing a
satellite. To remove the satellite, you have to do a
complete installation again and select another
package.
Sometimes the reception is poor
- Check if the satellite dish is solidly mounted. Strong
winds can move the dish.
- Snow and rain can degrade the reception.

Troubleshooting
Switch on and remote control
The TV does not switch on
- Disconnect the power cable from the power outlet.
Wait for one minute then reconnect it.
- Make sure that the power cable is securely
connected.
Creaking sound at startup or switch off
When you are turning the TV on, off or to standby,
you hear a creaking sound from the TV chassis. The
creaking sound is due to the normal expansion and
contraction of the TV as it cools and warms up. This
does not affect performance.
TV does not respond to the remote control
The TV requires some time to start up. During this
time, the TV does not respond to the remote control
or TV controls. This is normal behaviour.
If the TV continues to be unresponsive to the remote
control, you can check if the remote control is working
by means of a mobile phone camera. Put the phone
in camera mode and point the remote control to the
camera lens. If you press any key on the remote
control and you notice the infra red LED flicker
through the camera, the remote control is working.
The TV needs to be checked.
If you do not notice the flickering, the remote control
might be broken or its batteries are low.
This method of checking the remote control is not
possible with remote controls which are wirelessly
paired with the TV.
The TV goes back to standby after showing the
Philips startup screen
When the TV is in standby, a Philips startup screen is
displayed, then the TV returns to standby mode. This
is normal behaviour. When the TV is disconnected
and reconnected to the power supply, the startup
screen is displayed at the next startup. To switch on
the TV from standby, press on the remote control or
the TV.
The standby light keeps on blinking
Disconnect the power cable from the power outlet.
Wait 5 minutes before you reconnect the power
cable. If the blinking reoccurs, contact Philips TV
Consumer Care.

- Picture signals from some devices may not fit the
screen correctly. Check the signal output of the
connected device.
Computer picture is not stable
- Make sure that your PC uses the supported
resolution and refresh rate.
Sound
No sound or poor sound quality
If no audio signal is detected, the TV automatically
switches the audio output off — this does not indicate
malfunction.
- Make sure that the sound settings are correctly set.
- Make sure that all cables are properly connected.
- Make sure that the volume is not muted or set to
zero.
- Make sure that the TV audio output is connected to
the audio input on the Home Theatre System.
- Sound should be heard from the HTS speakers.
- Some devices may require you to manually enable
HDMI audio output. If HDMI audio is already enabled,
but you still do not hear audio, try changing the digital
audio format of the device to PCM (Pulse Code
Modulation). Refer to the documentation
accompanying your device for instructions.
Connections
HDMI
- Note that HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection) support can delay the time taken for a TV
to display content from an HDMI device.
- If the TV does not recognise the HDMI device and
no picture is displayed, switch the source from one
device to another and back again.
- If there are intermittent sound disruptions, make
sure that output settings from the HDMI device are
correct.
- If you use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter or HDMI-to-
DVI cable, make sure that an additional audio cable is
connected to AUDIO IN (mini-jack only), if available.
EasyLink does not work
- Make sure that your HDMI devices are HDMI-CEC
compatible. EasyLink features only work with devices
that are HDMI-CEC compatible.
No volume icon shown
- When a HDMI-CEC audio device is connected this
behaviour is normal.
Photos, videos and music from a USB device do not
show
- Make sure that the USB storage device is set to
Mass Storage Class compliant, as described in the
storage device's documentation.
- Make sure that the USB storage device is
compatible with the TV.
- Make sure that the audio and picture file formats
are supported by the TV.
Choppy playback of USB files
- The transfer performance of the USB storage
device may limit the data transfer rate to the TV which
causes poor playback.

Follow these precautions to prevent the TV from
toppling over and causing injury to children:
- Never place the TV on a surface covered by a cloth
or other material that can be pulled away.
- Ensure that no part of the TV hangs over the edge
of the mounting surface.
- Never place the TV on tall furniture, such as a
bookcase, without anchoring both the furniture and
TV to the wall or a suitable support.
- Teach children about the dangers of climbing on
furniture to reach the TV.
Risk of swallowing batteries !
The remote control may contain coin-type batteries
which can easily be swallowed by small children.
Keep these batteries out of reach of children at all
times.
Risk of overheating
Never install the TV in a confined space. Always leave
a space of at least 10 cm or 4 inches around the TV
for ventilation. Ensure curtains or other objects never
cover the ventilation slots on the TV.
59
Lightning storms
Disconnect the TV from the power outlet and antenna
before lightning storms.
During lightning storms, never touch any part of the
TV, power cord or antenna cable.
Risk of hearing damage
Avoid using earphones or headphones at high
volumes or for prolonged periods of time.
Low temperatures
If the TV is transported in temperatures below 5°C or
41°F, unpack the TV and wait until the TV temperature
reaches room temperature before connecting the TV
to the power outlet.
Humidity
In rare occasions, depending on temperature and
humidity, minor condensation can occur on the inside
of the TV glass front (on some models). To prevent
this, do not expose the TV to direct sunlight, heat or
extreme humidity. If condensation occurs, it will
disappear spontaneously while the TV is playing for a
few hours.
The condensation moisture will not harm the TV or
cause malfunction.
19.2
Screen care
- Never touch, push, rub or strike the screen with any
object.
- Unplug the TV before cleaning.
- Clean the TV and frame with a soft damp cloth and
wipe gently. Never use substances such as alcohol,
chemicals or household cleaners on the TV.
- To avoid deformations and colour fading, wipe off
water drops as quickly as possible.
- Avoid stationary images as much as possible.
Stationary images are images that remain onscreen
for extended periods of time. Stationary images
include onscreen menus, black bars, time displays,
etc. If you must use stationary images, reduce screen
contrast and brightness to avoid screen damage.
