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

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.

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.

HDMI ARC

If your Home Theatre System has an HDMI ARC connection, you can use any HDMI 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. All HDMI 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.

Next to the antenna connections, add an HDMI cable to connect the Set-top box to the TV. Alternatively, you can use a SCART cable if the Set-top box has no HDMI connection.

Switch off timer

If the Home Theatre System has no HDMI ARC connection, add an optical audio cable (Toslink) to send the sound of the TV picture to the Home Theatre System.

Audio to video synchronisation (sync)

If the sound does not match the video on screen, you can set a delay on most Home Theatre Systems with a disc player to match the sound with the video.
