To fix the bracket securely, use screws with a length indicated in the drawing.

Safety

Tips on placement

• Position the TV where light does not shine directly on the screen.

• Dim lighting conditions in the room for best Ambilight effect.*

• Position the TV up to 15 cm away from the wall.

• The ideal distance to watch TV is 3 times its diagonal screen size. When seated, your eyes should be level with the centre of the screen.

2.4

Power cable

• Insert the power cable into the back of the TV.

• Make sure the power cable is securely inserted in the connector.

• Make sure that the power plug, in the wall socket, is accessible at all times.

• When you unplug the power cable, always pull the plug, never pull the cable.

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.

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

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 HDMI 1 or HDMI 2 connection on this TV to connect the HTS but ARC is only available for 1 device/connection at a time.

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.

In case you prefer to switch off ARC on the HDMI connections, press and select Select

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.

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

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.

You can set the type of the audio out signal to fit the audio capabilities of your Home Theatre System. For more information, press

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.

You can set the TV to switch off the connecting HDMI-CEC compliant devices if they are not the active source. The TV switches the connected device to standby after 10 minutes of inactivity.

Set-top box - STB

Use 2 antenna cables to connect the antenna to the Set-top box (a digital receiver) and the TV.

Next to the antenna connections, add an HDMI cable to connect the Set-top box to the TV.

HDMI ARC

If your Home Theatre System has an HDMI ARC connection, you can use HDMI ARC connection on the TV to connect. With HDMI ARC, you do not need to connect the extra audio cable. The HDMI ARC connection combines both signals. Only HDMI ARC connections 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 connection, add an optical audio cable to send the sound of the TV picture to the Home Theatre System.
