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
HDMI CEC
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.
EasyLink HDMI CEC
If your devices are connected with HDMI and have EasyLink,
you can operate them with the TV remote control. EasyLink
HDMI CEC must be switched on on the TV and the
connected device.
In Help, press * List and look up EasyLink HDMI CEC for
more information on using EasyLink.
DVI to HDMI
Use a DVI to HDMI adapter if your device only has a DVI
connection. Use one of the HDMI connections and add an
Audio L/R cable (mini-jack 3.5 mm) to Audio In VGA/DVI for
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).
HDMI ARC
All of the HDMI connections on the TV have HDMI ARC
(Audio Return Channel).
Setting up / Connect devices 9
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.
In case you prefer to switch off ARC on the HDMI
connections, press h and select S Setup and press OK.
Select TV settings > Sound > Advanced > HDMI ARC.
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.
Use the supplied YPbPr adapter cable to connect your device.
Match the YPbPr (green, blue, red) connector colours with the
cable plugs when you connect.
Use an 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.
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.
You can set the type of the audio out signal to fit the audio
capabilities of your Home Theatre System.
In Help, press * List and look up Audio Out settings for
more information.
If the sound does not match the video on screen, you can
adjust the audio to video synchronization.

Audio Out delay
With a Home Theatre System (HTS) connected to the TV,
the picture on TV and the sound from the HTS should be
synchronised. A mismatch can be visible in scenes with people
talking - when they finish sentences before their lips stop
moving or just the opposite.
Automatic audio to video sync
With recent Philips Home Theatre Systems, the audio to
video sync is automatically synchronised and always correct.
Audio sync delay
For some Home Theatre Systems you might need to adjust
the audio sync delay to synchronise the audio to video. On the
HTS, increase the delay value until there is a match between
picture and sound. A delay value of 180ms may be required.

sound signal from a TV channel or connected player to the
Home Theatre System. If you have a Home Theatre System
without multichannel sound processing, select Stereo.
To set the Audio Out format . . .
1 - Press h and select S Setup and press OK.

• 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.

IR Sensor
The remote control of the TV uses RF (radio frequency) to
send its commands to the TV. With RF, you do not need to
point the remote control at the TV.
However, the TV can also receive commands from a remote
control that uses IR (infrared) to send commands. If you use
such a remote control, always make sure you point the remote
control at the infrared sensor on the front of the TV.
Pairing
This remote control uses radio frequency (RF) to send its
commands to the TV. Contrary to remote controls using
infrared signals, with this remote control you can send
commands without pointing at the TV.

changing the volume or switching channels - is easy.
Additionally, the TV can notify you when the battery power of
the remote control is low.
Pairing the remote control
For the remote control to communicate with the TV, both TV
and remote control should be paired with each other. Once
paired, you cannot use the remote control to control another
TV.
When you started the initial TV installation, the TV invited you
to press the OK key, and by doing so, the pairing was done.
When you switch off the TV, the pairing is stored. You can pair
up to 5 remote controls with this TV.
Pairing again
You can pair another remote control with this TV.

(about 10cm) and press the * Red and * Blue key at the
same time. A message will appear if pairing is successful.
• The remote control is not paired yet
To pair, hold the Remote control close to the Philips logo
(about 10cm) and press OK. A message will appear if pairing is
successful.
For retail
To pair a new - not yet paired - TV with a remote control
which is already paired with another TV, hold the Remote
control close to the Philips logo (about 10cm) and press the
* Red and * Blue key at the same time. A message will
appear if pairing is successful.

The TV will notify you when the battery power of the remote
control is low.
To replace the batteries, open the battery compartment on
the keyboard side of the remote control.

46 Satellite channels / Satellite installation
Unicable setup
The Unicable system
You can use a Unicable system to connect the antenna dish to
the TV.
A Unicable system uses one cable to connect the satellite dish
to all satellite receivers in its system. Unicable 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 1 or 2
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.
User band number
In a Unicable system, each connected satellite receiver 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 its built-in satellite receiver. A satellite
receiver cannot have the same user band number as another
satellite receiver 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.
Add a satellite
You can add an additional satellite to your current satellite
installation. The installed satellites and their channels stay
untouched. However, some satellite operators do not allow
adding a satellite.
The additional satellite should be seen as an extra, it 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.
Settings
If you currently have only 1 or 2 satellites installed, the current
installation settings might not allow adding an extra satellite. If
you need to change the installation settings, you must redo the
complete satellite installation. You cannot use Add satellite if a

Manual installation
Manual installation is intended for expert users.

from a satellite transponder. You need to know the frequency
and polarization of the transponder. The TV will install all
channels of that transponder. If the transponder was installed
before, all its channels - the former and the new ones - are
moved to the end of the channel list All.
You cannot use Manual installation if you need to change the
number of satellites. If this is needed, you have to do a
complete installation with Install satellites.
To install a transponder . . .
1 - Press h, select S Setup and press OK.
2 - Select Satellite settings and press OK.
3 - Select Channel installation and press OK.
4 - Select Manual installation and press OK.
5 - If you have more than 1 satellite installed, select the

rate manually. Enter the Frequency and start searching for the
transponder.
7 - If a transponder is found, select Store and press OK to
store the new transponder on the selected LNB.
8 - Select Exit to leave the manual installation.
Troubleshooting
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.
Satellite channels / Satellite installation 49
• If you use a Unicable system, make sure you assigned a
unique user band number to the satellite receiver in the
Unicable settings. It might be that another satellite receiver 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 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.

should be level with the centre of the screen.
Care of the 3D glasses
• Use a clean soft cloth (microfiber or cotton flannel) to clean
the lenses to avoid scratching them.
• Do not use cleaning chemicals containing alcohol, solvent,
surfactant, or wax, benzene, thinner, mosquito repellent or
lubricant. Using these chemicals can cause discoloration or
cracks.

Health warning
• Watching 3D is not recommended for children under the age
of six.
• 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.
• 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.
• To avoid discomfort such as dizziness, headache or
disorientation, we recommend not watching 3D for extended
periods of time.
• Do not use the 3D glasses for any purpose other than
watching 3D TV.
• If you normally wear corrective glasses or use contact lenses,
wear the 3D glasses together with these glasses or lenses.
• Keep the glasses away from small children to avoid the
swallowing of small parts or batteries.
• 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.
• Avoid the use of the 3D glasses in case of eye infection or
other diseases transmitted by contact (e.g. conjunctivitis, head
lice, etc.). Only start using the 3D glasses again when the
infection has disappeared completely.
