Get started3.
This section describes how to position and connect your TV, and how
to perform your first-time installation.
3.1 Position the TV
Warning B
Do not insert the power plug into the wall socket before all the •
connections are made.
Large screen TVs are heavy. Two people are required to carry and •
handle the TV.
Before you move your TV, disconnect the cables to prevent •
breakage.
Wherever you decide to position your TV, ensure that you always have
easy access to the power cord or plug to disconnect the TV from the
power.
If the TV is mounted on a swivel base or swivel arm, ensure no strain
is placed on the power cord when the TV is swivelled. Strain on the
power cord can loosen connections.
For ideal viewing conditions, position the TV where light does not fall
directly on the screen.
The ideal viewing distance for watching TV is three times its screen size.
Kensington security slot
Your TV is equipped with a Kensington Security Slot at the back of the
TV. If you connect an anti-theft Kensington lock (not supplied), position
the TV within reach of a permanent object that can be attached to the
lock.
3.2 Install the remote control batteries
Open the battery cover on the back of the remote control.1.
Insert the 2 batteries supplied. Make sure the + and - ends of the 2.

Connect to an antenna
Any DTV programs that are broadcast in your area can be received for
free through an antenna connection.
Contact your local content provider or your local electronics retailer if
you are unsure about what HDTV programs are available in your area.
Broadcasters are transitioning from analog to digital TV. This means that
a given broadcaster can have channels available either in analog or in
digital, or both analog and digital at the same time.
The TV has stereo sound if the broadcasting channel makes it available.
Connect to a cable
When your TV is connected to the cable socket, you may receive
free digital and high definition programming (depending on your cable
provider). Digital and high definition cable channels can be recognized
by the format of the channel number. The channel number includes a
dot "." For example, 11.1, 46.30, 108.201. Contact your cable provider
for more information.

S-Video - Good quality
An analog connection, S-Video provides better picture quality than
composite video. When connecting your device with S-Video, plug the
S-Video cable to the S-Video connector on the side of the TV. You must
connect a separate Audio L/R cable from the device to the red and
white Audio L/R in/out connectors on the side of the TV.
S-Video cable Audio L/R cable
- Red, White
Composite - Basic quality
Composite video provides basic analog connectivity, usually combining
a (yellow) video cinch cable with (red and white) Audio L/R cinch cable.
Match the cable colors when connecting to the composite video and
audio L/R input connectors on the side of the TV.

8.2 Select your connection quality
This section describes how you can enhance your audio visual
experience by connecting your devices with the best possible
connectors.
HDMI - Highest quality
HDMI produces the best audio visual quality possible. Both audio
and video signals are combined in one HDMI cable, providing an
uncompressed, digital interface between your TV and HDMI devices.
You must use HDMI to experience full high definition video. You must
also use HDMI cables to use Philips EasyLink as described in Use Philips
EasyLink on page 24 .
Use only a certified HDMI cable.
Tip E
If your device only has a DVI connector, use a DVI-HDMI adaptor to
connect your device to a HDMI connector on the TV. As such a con-
nection does not support sound, you must connect a separate audio
cable from the device to the Audio L/R input connectors on the TV.
DNote
Philips HDMI supports High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection
(HDCP). HDCP is a form of Digital Rights Management that
protects high defi nition content in DVD or Blu-ray discs.
Component (YPbPr) - High quality
Component (Y Pb Pr) video provides better picture quality than
S-Video or composite video connections. Though component video
supports high definition signals, picture quality is lower than HDMI and
is analog.
When connecting a component video cable, match the cable colors to
the connectors on the back of the TV. Also, connect an Audio L/R cable
to the red and white Audio L/R input connectors.

Term Meaning
DVI Digital Visual Interface A digital interface standard created by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG)
to convert analog signals into digital signals to accommodate both analog and digital
monitors.
RGB signals Red, Green and Blue signals These are the three video signals, red, green & blue, which make up the picture. Using
these signals improves picture quality.
S-VHS signals Super-VHS signals These are 2 separate Y/C video signals from the S-VHS and Hi-8 recording standards.
The luminance signals Y (black and white) and chrominance signals C (color) are
recorded separately on the tape. This provides better picture quality than with standard
video (VHS and 8 mm) where the Y/C signals are combined to provide only one video
signal.
16:9 TV format Refers to the ratio between the length and height of the screen. Wide screen televisions
have a ratio of 16 by 9, conventional screen TV sets have a ratio of 4 by 3.
HDMI High definition Multimedia
Interface
Provides an uncompressed, all digital audio/video interface between the TV and any
HDMI-equipped audio/video component, such as set-top box, DVD player and A/V
receiver. HDMI supports enhanced or high definition video plus two-channel digital
audio.
System Television pictures are not broadcast in the same way in all countries. There are
different standards: BG, DK, I, and LL’. The System setting is used to select these
different standards. This is not to be confused with PAL or SECAM color coding. PAL
is used in most countries in Europe, Secam in France, Russia and most African countries.
The United States and Japan use a different system called NTSC. The inputs AV1 and
AV2 are used to read NTSC coded recordings.
HDCP High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection
A specification developed by Intel for protecting digital entertainment that uses the DVI
interface. HDCP encrypts content the transmission of digital content between the video
source or transmitter such as a computer, DVD player or set-top box and the digital
display or receiver such as a monitor, television or projector.
BBE Barcus Berry Electronics A sound enhancement technology.
EasyLink Philips EasyLink Enables one-touch play and one-touch standby with EasyLink compliant devices that are
connected to your TV by HDMI.

11. Notes for the use of USB devices
Digital Content Issues
Only FAT (DOS) formatted (initialized) portable memory is •
supported. Errors in this formatting can result in unreadable
content. If such problems appear try to re-format the card. Be
aware that formatting the card will also delete all the content on it
(pictures, music, …).
The following file types are supported: .jpg, .jpeg, .mp3, .alb, .m3u •
and .pls.
Only linear JPEG picture formats are supported. Progressive JPEG •
and JPEG2000 encodings are not supported.
The length of a filename or directory name is limited to the length •
specified by the FAT16/32 file systems.
Max. levels of nested directories is 19.•
Never use the supported file type extensions (.jpg, .jpeg, .mp3, .alb, •
.m3u and .pls) as extensions for directories as these directories will
be treated as corrupted files.
The MP3 decoder does not support MPEG1 Layer 1 or Layer 2 •
playback.
MP3 Pro files can be played with normal MP3 quality.•
The access and response time of the content on a device can differ •
depending on the type or brand of the device.
The access and response time of the content on a device will •
increase the more unsupported or corrupted files are on the
device.
Digital Camera Issues
If a USB connection between your digital camera and the TV isn’t •
working, you can try the solutions below to resolve your problem.
Make sure your digital camera is switched on and verify if the •
configuration of your digital camera is correct (see the manual of
your digital camera for more information).
Some digital cameras allow you to switch off the USB interface. •
Make sure that the USB interface is switched on before connecting
to the TV.
If you have a digital camera with only internal memory (no •
removable memory) you can try to copy the content manually to
a USB memory device (e.g. Philips KEY product) using a personal
computer.
Some digital cameras allow you to switch between PTP (Picture •
Transfer Protocol) or “PC Link” and USB Mass Storage or “PC
Drive”. Make sure that you select USB Mass Storage or “PC
Drive” on your digital camera.
If your camera supports different interface settings be sure to try •
them one by one or contact the reseller of your camera to find
out the correct setting.
USB Memory Device Issues
Devices connected to the USB port of your TV must be “Mass •
Storage Class” compliant. If your device (digital camera. MP3
player, portable hard disk, …) is not “Mass Storage Class” compliant
it will not be detected by the content browser of the TV.
The following subsets of the Mass Storage Class specification are •
supported:
The implementation of the TV is based on the “Universal Serial •
Bus Mass Storage Class Specification Overview” (v1.2, June 23,
2003) including all documents referenced by the document. The
document can be found on the USB standardization website
(www.usb.org).
Full support of the USB Mass Storage Class Bulk-Only Transport •
(bInterfaceProtocol = 50h).
Full support of SubClass Code = 05h; SFF-8070i spec. •
Full support of SubClass Code = 06h; SCSI transparent •
command set.
For large USB memory devices, when you are in the Content •
Browser, it may take a long time before you can access your files.
When using a USB portable hard disk: Due to the high power •
consumption of the hard disk, it is advised to use the external
power supply of the portable hard disk to guarantee proper
working under all conditions.
