Tips on 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.
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
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
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, do not use an HDMI cable longer than 5 m.

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).
Y Pb Pr
Component Video YPbPr is a high quality connection. The
YPbPr connection can be used for High Definition (HD) TV
signals. Next to the Y, Pb and Pr signals add the Audio Left
and Right signals for sound.

cable plugs when you connect.
Use a Audio L/R cinch to mini-jack (3.5mm) adapter cable (not
supplied) if your device also has sound.
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.
Setting up / Connect devices 9
Use the supplied SCART adapter cable to connect your
device.
Audio Out - Optical
Audio Out - Optical is a high quality sound connection. This
optical connection can carry 5.1 audio channels. If your audio
device, typically a Home Theatre System (HTS), has no HDMI
ARC connection, you can connect this sound cable to an
Audio In - Optical connection on the HTS. This Audio cable
will send the sound of the TV to the HTS.

Safety and care
Safety
Read and understand all safety instructions before you use the
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 Consumer Care to have the TV checked
before use.
• Never expose the TV, remote control or batteries to
excessive heat. Never place them near burning candles, naked
flames or other heat sources, including direct sunlight.
• Never insert objects into the ventilation slots or other
openings on the TV.
• Never place heavy objects on the power cord.
• Avoid force coming onto power plugs. Loose power plugs
can cause arcing or fire. Ensure that no strain is exerted on the
power cord when you swivel the TV screen.
• 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.
Risk of injury or damage to the TV!
• Two people are required to lift and carry a TV that weighs
more than 25 kg or 55 lbs.
• If you mount the TV on a stand, only use the supplied stand.
Secure the stand to the TV tightly. Place the TV on a flat, level
surface that can support the weight of the TV and the stand.
• When wall mounted, ensure that the wall mount can safely
bear the weight of the TV set. TP Vision Netherlands B.V.
bears no responsibility for improper wall mounting that results
in accident, injury or damage.
• Parts of this product are made of glass. Handle with care to
avoid injury or damage.
Risk of damage to the TV!
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.
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
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.
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.
18 Setting up / Safety and care
Screen care

• Unplug the TV before cleaning.
• Clean the TV and frame with a soft damp cloth and wipe
gently. Avoid touching the Ambilight LED's on the backside of
the TV. 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.
Temperature and 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.
