antenna dish to the TV. You can select Unicable for
up to 4 satellites at the start of the installation.
* Note: supports Unicable 1 (EN50494) and Unicable 2
(EN50607/JESS).
Start the Installation
Make sure your satellite dish is connected correctly
and is perfectly aligned before you start the
installation.
To start the satellite installation…
1 - Select Settings > Channels > Satellite
Installation and press OK. Enter your PIN code if
necessary.
2 - Select Search for Satellite and press OK.
3 - Select Search and press OK. TV will search for
satellites.
4 - Select Install and press OK. The TV shows the
current satellite installation setup.
If you want to change this setup, select Settings.
If you don't want to change the setup, select Search.
Go to step 5.

User Band Frequencies for each tuner. In some
countries, you can adjust some expert settings for
each LNB in More Settings.
6 - The TV will search for the satellites available on
the alignment of your antenna dish. This may take a
few minutes. If a satellite is found, its name and
reception strength are shown on screen.
7 - When the TV found the satellites you need,
select Install.
8 - If a satellite offers Channel Packages, the TV will
show the available packages for that satellite. Select
the package you need. Some packages offer
a Quick or Full install for their available channels,
select one or the other. The TV will install the satellite
channels and radio stations.
9 - To store the satellite setup and installed channels
and radio stations, select Finish.
Satellite Installation Settings
The satellite installation settings are preset according
your country. These settings determine how the TV
searches and installs satellites and its channels. You
can always change these settings.
To change the satellite installation settings…
1 - Start the satellite installation.
2 - On the screen where you can start searching for
satellites, select Settings and press OK.
3 - Select the number of satellites you want to install
or select one of the Unicable systems. When you

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.
Satellite CAMs
If you use a CAM – a Conditional Access Module with
a smart card – to watch satellite channels, we
recommend to do the satellite installation with the
CAM inserted in the TV.
Most CAMs are used to descramble channels.
Newest generation CAMs (CI+ 1.3 with Operator
Profile), can install all the satellite channels by
themselves on your TV. The CAM will invite you to
install its satellite(s) and channels. These CAMs not
only install and descramble the channels but also
handle regular channel updates.
19
Channel Packages
Satellite operators can offer channel packages that
bundle free channels (free-to-air) and offer a sorting
that suits a country. Some satellites offer subscription
packages - a collection of channels you pay for.
If you choose a subscription package, the TV might
ask you to select a Quick or Full installation.
Select Quick to install the channels of the package
only or select Full to install the package and all
other available channels too. We recommend a Quick
installation for subscription packages. If you have
additional satellites that are not part of your
subscription package, we recommend a Full
installation. All installed channels are put in the
channels list All.
Unicable Setup
The Unicable System
You can use a Single Cable system or Unicable
system* to connect the antenna dish to the TV. A
Single Cable system uses one cable to connect the
satellite dish to all satellite tuners in its system. A
Single Cable system is typically used in apartment
buildings. If you use a Unicable system, the TV will ask
you to assign a user band number and corresponding
frequency during the installation. You can install up to
4 satellites with Unicable on this TV.
If you notice some missing channels after a Unicable
installation, another installation might have been
done at the same moment on the Unicable system.
Do the installation again to install the missing
channels.
* Note: supports Unicable 1 (EN50494) and Unicable 2
(EN50607/JESS).
User Band Number
In a Unicable system, each connected satellite tuner
must be numbered (e.g. 0, 1, 2 or 3 etc.).
You can find the available user bands and their
number on the Unicable switchbox. User band is
sometimes shortened as UB. There are Unicable
switchboxes that offer 4 or 8 user bands. If you select
Unicable in the settings, the TV will ask you to assign
the unique user band number for each built-in
satellite tuners. A satellite tuner cannot have the same
user band number as another satellite tuner 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.

is not your main satellite subscription or not the main
satellite of which you use its channel package.
Typically, you would add a 4th satellite when you
have 3 satellites already installed. If you have 4
satellites installed, you might consider removing one
first to be able to add a new satellite.
Setup
If you currently have only 1 or 2 satellites installed, the

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
21
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.

Connect Devices
7.1
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.
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.
If a device connected with HDMI is not working
correctly, check if a different HDMI Ultra HD setting
can solve this problem. In Help, press the colour
key Keywords and look up HDMI Ultra HD.
Copy protection
HDMI ports support HDCP 2.2 (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
All of the HDMI connections 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 any
of the HDMI connections 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.
You can use any HDMI connection on this TV to
connect the HTS but ARC is only available for 1
device/connection at a time.
HDMI CEC - 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.
Connect HDMI CEC-compatible devices to your TV,
you can operate them with the TV remote control.
EasyLink HDMI CEC must be switched on on the TV
and the connected device.
Switch on EasyLink
Settings > General
settings > EasyLink > EasyLink > On.
Operate HDMI CEC-compatible devices with TV
remote control
Settings > General
settings > EasyLink > EasyLink remote
control > On.
Note:
26
• EasyLink might not work with devices from other
brands.
• The HDMI CEC functionality has different names on
different brands. Some examples are: Anynet, Aquos
Link, Bravia Theatre Sync, Kuro Link, Simplink and
Viera Link. Not all brands are fully compatible with
EasyLink. Example HDMI CEC branding names are
property of their respective owners.

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 switching 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.
80
The TV goes back to standby after showing the
Philips startup screen
When the TV is in standby, a Philips startup screen is

screen is displayed at the next startup. To switch on
the TV from standby, press on the remote control
or on the TV.
The standby light keeps on blinking
Disconnect the power cable from the power outlet.

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 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.
Stability Hazards
A television set may fall, causing serious personal
injury or death. Many injuries, particularly to children,
can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:
• ALWAYS use cabinets or stands or mounting
methods recommended by the manufacturer of the
television set.
• ALWAYS use furniture that can safely support the
television set.
• ALWAYS educate children about the dangers of
climbing on furniture to reach the television set or its
controls.
• ALWAYS route cords and cables connected to your
television so they cannot be tripped over, pulled or
grabbed.
• NEVER place a television set in an unstable location.
• NEVER place the television set on tall furniture (for
example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring
both the furniture and the television set to a suitable
support.
• NEVER place the television set on cloth or other
materials that may be located between the television
set and supporting furniture.
• NEVER place items that might tempt children to
climb, such as toys and remote controls, on the top of
the television or furniture on which the television is
placed.
If the existing television set is going to be retained
and relocated, the same considerations as above
should be applied.
Risk of Batteries
• Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an
incorrect type.
• Replacement of a BATTERY with an incorrect type
that can defeat a SAFEGUARD (for example, in the
case of some lithium BATTERY types).
• Disposal of a BATTERY into fire or a hot oven, or
mechanically crushing or cutting of a BATTERY, that
can result in an EXPLOSION.
• Leaving a BATTERY in an extremely high
temperature surrounding environment that can result
in an EXPLOSION or the leakage of flammable liquid
or gas.
• A BATTERY subjected to extremely low air pressure
that may result in an EXPLOSION or the leakage of
flammable liquid or gas.
• 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
83
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.
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.
29.2
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. Avoid touching the Ambilight* LEDs 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.
* Ambilight LED is only for models which support
Ambilight function.
29.3
Leather Care and
Maintenance
For regular cleaning of a fully finished leather, simply
vacuum and then take a soft cloth and wring it out in
a warm soap solution.
This should be mild soap never a detergent.
Wipe the leather using a light circular motion, taking
care not to soak the leather.
Repeat using clean water.
Do not attempt to feed the leather in any way.
In particular, the use of spray polishes, saddle soaps,
waxes and so-called hide foods may well create a
sticky surface, attracting dirt and, in time, causing
irreversible damage.
