Safety
Precautions
Read and understand all instructions before
you use your TV. If damage is caused by
failure to follow the 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 spilled
on or into the TV, disconnect the TV
from the power outlet immediately.
Contact Philips TV Consumer Care to
have the TV checked before use.
• 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.
• Never insert objects into the ventilation
slots or other openings on the TV.
• Never expose the remote control or
batteries to rain, water or excessive
heat.
• Avoid force coming onto power plugs.
Ensure that the power plug is fully
inserted into the power socket. Loose
power plugs can cause arcing or fire.
• When the TV is swiveled, 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.
Risk of 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 Europe B.V. bears no
responsibility for improper wall
mounting that results in accident, injury
or damage.
• If you need to store the TV,
disassemble the stand from the TV.
Never lie the TV on its back with the
stand installed.
• 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 can be made of
glass. Handle with care to avoid injury
and damage.
EN 4
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 power
outlet 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.
Care
Screen
• 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 and wipe gently. Never use
substances such as alcohol, chemicals or
household cleaners on the TV.
• To avoid deformations and color 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.
Placement tips
• Position the TV where light does not
shine directly on the screen.
• The ideal viewing distance of this TV is
three times its diagonal screen size. For
example, if the diagonal screen size of
the TV is 80cm / 32", the ideal viewing
distance is ~2.5m / ~92" from the front
of the screen.
• While seated, your eyes should be level
with the center of the screen.

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.
The TV does not respond to remote
control or TV 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 TV controls. This is
normal behavior.
If the TV continues to be unresponsive to
the remote control, view the remote control
sensor through a digital camera -- if you
press any button on the remote control and
notice red flickering at the sensor, the
remote control is working but the TV may
need to be checked by Philips TV Consumer
Care. This troubleshooting procedure is not
applicable to remote controls that are paired
wirelessly with the TV.
When the TV is in standby, a startup splash
screen is displayed, then TV 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 TV.
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 TV
Consumer Care.
The TV audio is in the wrong language:
Change your audio language by pressing
OPTIONS, then select [Audio language]
or [Alternate audio].
The TV menu is in the wrong language:
Change the menu to your preferred
language.
For more information, see Change your TV
settings > Language settings > Menu
language (Page 20).
You forgot the 4-digit code to unlock the
channel blocking feature (child lock):
Enter ‘8888’.
You want to upgrade your TV software:
Visit www.philips.com/support and
download the latest software package for
your TV. Software installation instructions
and release notes indicating what's been
updated are also available at the site. Full
instructions on how to upgrade your TV
software are also available at Change your
TV settings > Update software (Page 21).
Channel issues
You want to install TV channels:
See Change your TV settings > Automatic
installation (Page 18) for instructions on
installing analog or digital channels.
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:
• See the technical specifications to make
sure that your TV supports SATVD-T
or SBTVD-T in your country.
• Make sure that all cables are properly
connected and that the correct
network is selected.

Picture issues
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.
• 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.
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:
Change to a different picture format.
The picture format keeps changing with
different channels:
Instead of the picture format [Auto zoom],
select 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.
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. See Change your TV settings
> Other settings > Home mode (Page 21).
The computer display on the TV is not
stable:
• Make sure that your PC uses the
supported resolution and refresh rate.
See Specifications > Display
resolutions (Page 37).
• Change the TV picture format to
[Unscaled].
Sound issues
There is picture but no sound from the TV:
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 OPTIONS, select
[Picture and sound] > [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 theater device. Sound
should be heard from the home theater
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.
There is picture but sound quality is poor:
Make sure that the sound settings are
correctly set.
EN 36
Connection issues
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 an HDMI device.
• If the TV does not recognize 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:
When a HDMI-CEC audio device is
connected this behavior is normal.
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 on your USB
storage device 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.
