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.
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 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 cable and do not use an HDMI cable longer
than 5 m.
Copy protection

Content Protection). HDCP is a copy protection signal
that prevents copying content from a DVD disc or Bluray Disc. Also referred to as DRM (Digital Rights
Management).
HDMI ARC
Only HDMI 1 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 HDMI 1 connection 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.
In case you prefer to switch off ARC on HDMI 1 ARC,
press , select Sound and press OK.
Select Advanced > HDMI 1 - ARC.

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.
With EasyLink you can operate a connected device
with the TV remote control. EasyLink uses HDMI CEC
6
(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
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.
EasyLink On or Off

Home Theatre System - HTS
Connect with HDMI ARC
Use an HDMI cable to connect a Home Theatre
System (HTS) to the TV. You can connect a Philips
Soundbar or an HTS with a built-in disc player.
HDMI ARC
If your Home Theatre System has an HDMI ARC
connection, you can use HDMI 1 on the TV to

connection combines both signals.
HDMI 1 on the TV can offer the Audio Return
Channel (ARC) signal. But once you have connected
the Home Theatre System, the TV can only send the
ARC signal to this HDMI connection.
If the Home Theatre System has no HDMI ARC

can send the compressed multichannel 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.
Audio Out Levelling affects both the Audio Out Optical and HDMI ARC sound signals.
Problems with HTS sound
Sound with loud noise
If you watch a video from a plugged in USB flash drive
or connected computer, the sound from your Home
