Connect devices

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 s upport 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 s upplied) if your device als o 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.
In Help, press * List and look up Audio to video sync for
more information.

EasyLink HDMI CEC

With recent Philips Home Theatre Sys tems , the audio to
video sync is automatically synchronised and always correct.

Audio sync delay

For s ome Home Theatre S ystems you might need to adjus t
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.

Troubleshooting

Sound with loud noise

If you watch a video from a plugged in USB flash drive or

System might be distorted. This noise is there when the audio
or video file has DTS sound but the Home Theatre Sys tem
has no DTS sound processing. You can fix this by setting the

Audio Out format of the TV to Stereo. Go to Home >
Setup > TV settings > Sound > Advanced > Audio Out
format

No sound

If you cannot hear the sound from the TV on your Home
Theatre System, check the following . . .

• Check if you connected the HDMI cable to a HDMI ARC
connection on the Home Theatre System. All HDMI
connections on the TV are HDMI ARC connections .

• Check if the HDMI ARC setting on the TV is switched On.
Go to Ho me > Setup > TV settings > Sound > Advanced >

About pointer

Instead of navigating the screen with the arrow keys, you can
use the pointer. You can move the pointer - a blue arrow ­over the TV scre en by moving the remote control. Just like you
move the cursor on a computer screen with a mouse.

You can use the pointer to navigate Smart TV Apps* and
Internet pages on TV. Some Smart TV Apps might not
support the use of the pointer. When the pointer is not
available, you can use the arrow keys to navigate the screen.
You can adjust the speed of the pointer or if you never want
to use the pointer, you can switch it off.

*Gradually more Smart TV Apps will become available for use
with the pointer.

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.

With no need to point the remote control, using the keyboard
on the back or sending com m ands from another room ­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 re m ote control to communicate with the T V, 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.
