Safety
Read and understand all instructions before
you use your TV. If damage is caused by
failure to follow instructions, the warranty
does not apply.
Risk of electric shock or fire!
Never expose the TV to rain or water.
Never place liquid containers, such as
vases, near the TV. If liquids are spilt on
or into the TV, disconnect the TV from
the power outlet immediately. Contact
Philips Consumer Care to have the TV
checked before use.
When the TV is swivelled, ensure that
no strain is exerted on the power cord.
Strain on the power cord can loosen
connections and cause arcing.
To disconnect the TV from the mains
power, the power plug of the TV must
be disconnected. When disconnecting
the power, always pull the power plug,
never the cord. Ensure that you have
full access to the power plug, power
cord and outlet socket at all times.
Never insert objects into the ventilation
slots or other openings on the TV.
Never place the TV, remote control or
batteries near naked flames or other
heat sources, including direct sunlight.
To prevent the spread of fire, keep
candles or other flames away from the
TV, remote control and batteries at all
times.
Risk of short circuit or fire!
Never expose the remote control or
batteries to rain, water or excessive
heat.
Avoid force coming onto power plugs.
Loose power plugs can cause arcing or
fire.
Risk of injury or damage to the TV!
Two people are required to lift and
carry a TV that weighs more than 25kg
or 55lbs.
When stand mounting the TV, use only
the supplied stand. Secure the stand to
the TV tightly. Place the TV on a flat,
level surface that can support the
combined weight of the TV and the
stand.
When wall mounting the TV, use only a
wall mount that can support the weight
of the TV. Secure the wall mount to a
wall that can support the combined
weight of the TV and wall mount. TP
Vision Netherlands B.V. bears no
responsibility for improper wall
mounting that result in accident, injury
or damage.
If you need to store the TV,
disassemble the stand from the TV.
Never lay the TV on its back with the
stand installed.
EN 7
English
Before you connect the TV to the
power outlet, ensure that the power
voltage matches the value printed on
the back of the TV. Never connect the
TV to the power outlet if the voltage is
different.
Parts of this product may be made of
glass. Handle with care to avoid injury
and damage.
Risk of injury to children!
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 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.
Educate children about the dangers of
climbing on furniture to reach the TV.
Risk of swallowing batteries!
The product/remote control may
contain a coin-type battery, which can
be swallowed. Keep the battery 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 4
inches or 10 cm around the TV for
ventilation. Ensure that curtains or
other objects never cover the
ventilation slots on the TV.
Risk of injury, fire or power cord damage!
Never place the TV or any objects on
the power cord.
Disconnect the TV from the socket and
aerial before lightning storms. During
lightning storms, never touch any part
of the TV, power cord or aerial 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 matches
room temperature before connecting
the TV to the power outlet.
Screen care
Risk of damage to the TV screen!
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. Never use substances such
as alcohol, chemicals or household
cleaners on the TV.
To avoid deformations and colour
fading, wipe off water drops as soon 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.
Temperature and humidity
On rare occasions, depending on
temperature and humidity, minor
condensation can occur on the inside of the
glass front. To prevent this, do not expose
the TV to direct sunlight, heat or extreme
humidity. If condensation occurs, it will
disappear spontaneously after the TV has
played for a few hours. The condensation
moisture will not harm the TV or cause
malfunction.
3D, health warning
If you or your family have a history of
epilepsy or photosensitive seizures,
consult a medical professional before
exposing yourself to flashing light
sources, rapid image sequences or 3D
viewing.
EN 8
To avoid discomfort such as dizziness,
headache or disorientation, we
recommend not watching 3D for
extended periods of time. If you
experience any discomfort, stop
watching 3D and do not immediately
engage in any potentially hazardous
activity (for example driving a car) until
your symptoms have disappeared. If
symptoms persist, do not resume
watching 3D without consulting a
medical professional first.
Parents should monitor their children
during 3D viewing and ensure they do
not experience any discomfort as
mentioned above. Watching 3D is not
recommended for children under 6
years of age as their visual system is not
fully developed yet.
Do not use the 3D glasses for any
purpose other than watching 3D TV.
Care of 3D glasses
3D glasses are supplied with this TV. Follow
these care instructions for your glasses:
Use a clean soft cloth (microfibre or
cotton flannel) to clean the lenses to
avoid scratching them. Never spray
cleaner directly on the 3D glasses. You
can use pre-moistened cleaning cloths
from most well-known lens
manufacturers of sunglasses.
Do not expose the 3D glasses to direct
sunlight, heat, fire or water. This may
result in a product malfunction or fire.
Do not drop, bend or apply force to
the lenses of the 3D glasses.
Do not use cleaning chemicals
containing alcohol, solvent, surfactant,
or wax, benzene, thinner, mosquito
repellent or lubricant. Using these
chemicals can cause discolouration or
cracks.

6 Troubleshooting
Contact Philips
Warning: Do not attempt to repair the TV
yourself. This may cause severe injury,
irreparable damage to your TV or void
your warranty.
If you cannot resolve your problem, refer to
the frequently asked questions (FAQs) for
this TV at www.philips.com/support.
You can also contact Philips Consumer Care
in your country for support. You can find the
contact number in the leaflet that
accompanies the TV.
Take a note of your TV model and serial
number before you contact Philips. These
numbers are printed on the back of the TV
and on the packaging.
General TV
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.
Make sure that the power switch at the
base or back of the TV is switched on.
The TV does not respond to remote
control or front controls when switched
on
The TV requires some time to start up.
During this time, the TV does not respond
to the remote control or front controls. This
is normal behavior.
The standby light on the TV blinks red:
Disconnect the power cable from the power
outlet. Wait until the TV cools down before
you reconnect the power cable. If the
blinking reoccurs, contact Philips Consumer
Care.
You forgot the code to unlock the child
lock feature:
Enter ‘8888’.
The TV menu is in the wrong language:
Change the TV menu to your preferred
language.
For more information, see Set up your TV >
Menu language (Page 42).
When you are turning the TV on, off or to
standby, you hear a creaking sound from
the TV chassis:
No action is required. 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.
When the TV is in standby, a startup splash
screen is displayed, then returns to standby
mode:
This is normal behavior. 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 press any key on
the front of the TV.
TV channel
Previously installed channels do not appear
in the channel list:
Make sure that the correct channel list is
selected.
No digital channels were found during the
installation:
Make sure that the TV supports DVB-T,
DVB-C or DVB-S in your country.
Make sure that the antenna is properly
connected and the correct network is
selected.
Picture
The TV is on, but there is no picture or the
picture is distorted:
Make sure that the antenna is properly
connected to the TV.
EN 63
English
Make sure that the correct device is
selected as the display source.
Make sure that the external device or
source is properly connected.
There is sound but no picture:
Make sure that the picture settings are set
correctly.
There is poor TV reception from an
antenna connection:
Make sure that the antenna is properly
connected to the TV.
Loud speakers, unearthed audio
devices, neon lights, high buildings and
other large objects can influence
reception quality. If possible, try to
improve the reception quality by
changing the antenna direction or
moving devices away from the TV.
If reception on only one channel is
poor, fine-tune this channel.
There is poor picture quality from
connected devices:
Make sure that the devices are
connected properly.
Make sure that the picture settings are
set correctly.
The TV did not save your picture settings:
Make sure that the TV location is set to
Home. You can change and save settings in
this mode.
The picture does not fit the screen; it is
too big or too small:
Try a different picture format.
The picture position is incorrect:
Picture signals from some devices may not fit
the screen correctly. Check the signal output
of the device.
The picture from broadcasts is scrambled:
You may need a Conditional Access Module
to access content. Check with your service
operator.
An "e-sticker" banner displaying
information appears on the TV display:
The TV is in [Shop] mode. To remove the
e-sticker, set the TV to [Home] mode, then
restart the TV. Position the TV > Location
(Page 10).
The computer display on the TV is not
stable:
Make sure that your PC uses the
supported resolution and refresh rate.
See Product specifications > Display
resolutions (Page 65).
Set the TV picture format to
[Unscaled].
Sound
There is a picture but sound quality is
poor:
If no audio signal is detected, the TV
automatically switches the audio output off
— this does not indicate malfunction.
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 speakers setting
is selected. Press ADJUST, select
[Speakers], and then select TV.
Make sure that the TV audio output is
connected to the audio input on the
HDMI-CEC enabled or EasyLink
compliant home theatre device. Sound
should be heard from the home theatre
speakers.
There is a picture but the sound quality is
poor:
Make sure that the sound settings are
correctly set.
There is a picture but sound comes from
one speaker only:
Make sure that sound balance is set to the
centre.
EN 64
HDMI
There are problems with HDMI devices:
Note that HDCP (High-bandwidth
Digital Content Protection) support can
delay the time taken for a TV to display
content from a 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 L/R or AUDIO IN (mini-jack
only).
You cannot use EasyLink features:
Make sure that your HDMI devices are
HDMI-CEC compatible. EasyLink features
only work with devices that are HDMI-CEC
compatible.
If an HDMI-CEC compliant audio device is
connected to the TV and the TV does not
display any mute or volume icon when the
volume is muted, increased or decreased.
This behaviour is normal when an HDMI-
CEC audio device is connected.
USB
USB device content is not displayed:
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.
Audio and picture files do not play or
display smoothly:
The transfer performance of the USB
storage device may limit the data transfer
rate to the TV which causes poor playback.
Network
Net TV does not work
If the connection to the router is properly
set up, check the router connection to the
Internet.
Browse PC or Net TV access is slow.
Refer to your router's user manual for
information on transfer rate and other
factors of signal quality.
You need a high-speed Internet connection
for your router.
Wireless network is distorted or not
found.
Make sure that the wireless network is
not disturbed by microwave ovens,
DECT phones or other neighbouring
Wi-Fi devices.
If the wireless network is not working,
try a wired network connection.
For DLNA connection, click on How
does sharing change firewall settings in
the Media Sharing window for the Help
