4.1
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) or Ultra HD (UHD) 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.
For more information on using EasyLink, press Keywords
and look up EasyLink CEC.
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 3.5mm) to AUDIO IN 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).
If the device, typically a Home Theatre Sysytem (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 and select Setup and press OK.
Select TV settings > Sound > Advanced > HDMI ARC.
HDMI Ultra HD
You can watch videos filmed or made in 'native' Ultra HD
resolution - 3840x2160 pixels (30 Hz) - on this TV.
Connect a Blu-ray Disc player, a game console or a computer
that plays Ultra HD videos to an HDMI connection. Use a High
speed HDMI cable to connect. The HDMI UHD connections
have ARC (Audio Return Channel).
Only the HDMI 1 connection has HDCP 2.2 .
12
Y Pb Pr - Audio L R
Y Pb Pr - Component Video 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.
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 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 device,
typically a Home Theatre System (HTS), has no HDMI ARC
connection, you can use this connection with the Audio In -
Optical connection on the HTS. The Audio Out - Optical
connection sends the sound from 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.
For more information, press Keywords and look up Audio
Out settings.
If the sound does not match the video on screen, you can adjust
the audio to video synchronisation.
For more information, press Keywords and look up Audio
to video sync.
4.2
EasyLink HDMI CEC
EasyLink
With EasyLink you can operate a connected device with the TV
remote control. EasyLink uses HDMI CEC (Consumer
Electronics Control) to communicate with the connected
devices. Devices must support HDMI CEC and must be
connected with an HDMI connection.
EasyLink setup
The TV comes with EasyLink switched on. Make sure that all
HDMI CEC settings are properly set up on the connected
EasyLink devices. EasyLink might not work with devices from
other brands.
HDMI CEC on other brands

Channel packages
About channel packages
Satellites 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 Satellite operator channels only to install the channels of
the package only or select All satellite channels 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.
37
Update channel packages
With Update channel package, you can bring back satellite
channels that were in the satellite channel list before but are
now missing. The missing channels were repositioned on the
transponder by the satellite operator. The TV must be updated
with the latest version of the channel package.
To download the latest version of the channel package . . .
1 - Go to the Philips support website www.philips.com/support
and enter the type number of your TV.
2 - Click on Software and drivers and look for the file :
PredefinedSortingList
3 - Download the file on your computer and copy the file on
the root directory of a USB flash drive, not in a folder (if
necessary, unzip the file first).
4 - Plug the USB flash drive into the TV and press and
select Setup and press OK.

should be back at their former position in the satellite channel
list.
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 remain
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

• 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

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

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 six
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.

Troubleshooting and
support
26.1
Troubleshooting
Channels
No digital channels found during the installation
See the technical specifications to make sure that your TV
supports DVB-T or DVB-C in your country.
Make sure that all cables are properly connected and that the
correct network is selected.
Previously installed channels are not in the channel list
Make sure that the correct channel list is selected.
General
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 turning 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.
The TV goes back to standby after showing the Philips startup
screen
When the TV is in standby, a Philips startup screen is displayed,
then the TV returns to standby mode. This is normal behaviour.
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
the TV.
The standby light keeps on blinking
Disconnect the power cable from the power outlet. Wait 5
minutes before you reconnect the power cable. If the blinking
reoccurs, contact Philips TV Consumer Care.
Wrong menu language
Change the language back to your language.
1 - Press and select Setup and press OK.
2 - Select TV settings > General settings > Menu language and
press OK.
3 - Select the language you want and press OK.
4 - Press , repeatedly if necessary, to close the menu.
Picture
No picture / distorted picture
• 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.
Sound but no picture
• Make sure that the picture settings are set correctly.
Poor antenna reception
• 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.
• If reception on only one channel is poor, fine-tune this
channel.
Poor picture from a device
• Make sure that the device is connected properly.
• Make sure that the picture settings are set correctly.
Picture settings change after a while
Make sure that Location is set to Home. You can change and
save settings in this mode.
A commercial banner appears
Make sure that Location is set to Home.
Picture does not fit the screen
Change to a different picture format. Press .
Picture format keeps changing with different channels
Select a non 'Auto' picture format.
Picture position is incorrect
91
Picture signals from some devices may not fit the screen
correctly. Check the signal output of the connected device.
Computer picture is not stable
Make sure that your PC uses the supported resolution and
refresh rate.
Sound
No sound or poor sound quality
If no audio signal is detected, the TV automatically switches the
audio output off — this does not indicate malfunction.
• Make sure that the sound settings are correctly set.
• 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 audio output is connected to the audio
input on the Home Theatre System.
Sound should be heard from the HTS 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.
Connections
HDMI
• 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 recognise 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 IN (mini-jack only), if available.
EasyLink does not work
• Make sure that your HDMI devices are HDMI-CEC
compatible. EasyLink features only work with devices that are
HDMI-CEC compatible.
No volume icon shown
• When an HDMI-CEC audio device is connected this
behaviour is normal.
Photos, videos and music from a USB device do not show
• 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.
Choppy playback of USB files
• The transfer performance of the USB storage device may limit
the data transfer rate to the TV which causes poor playback.

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 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.
94
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.
27.2
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.
