2 Important

Read and understand all instructions before you
use your TV. If damage is caused by failure to
follow instructions, the warranty does not apply.

Safety

Risk of electric shock or fire!•

Never expose the T V to rain or •
water. Never place liquid containers,
such as vases, near the TV. If
liquids are spilt on or into the TV,
disconnect the TV from the power
outlet immediately. Contact Philips
Consumer Care to have the TV
checked before use.
Never place the TV, remote control •
or batteries near naked flames or
other heat sources, including direct
sunlight.
To prevent the spread of fire, keep
candles or other flames away from
the TV, remote control and batteries
at all times.

Never insert objects into the •
ventilation slots or other openings on
the TV.
When the TV is swivelled ensure •
that no strain is exerted on the
power cord. Strain on the power
cord can loosen connections and
cause arcing.

Risk of short circuit or fire!•

Never expose the remote control or •
batteries to rain, water or excessive
heat.

Avoid force coming onto power •
plugs. Loose power plugs can cause
arcing or fire.

Risk of injury or damage to the TV!•

Two people are required to lif t and •
carry a TV that weighs more than
25 kg.
When stand mounting the T V, use •
only the supplied stand. Secure the
stand to the T V tightly. Place the
TV on a flat, level surface that can
support the combined weight of the
TV and the stand.
When wall mounting the TV, use •
only a wall mount that can support
the weight of the TV. Secure the wall
mount to a wall that can support the
combined weight of the TV and wall
mount. Koninklijke Philips Electronics
N.V. bears no responsibility for
improper wall mounting that result in

accident, injury or damage.
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 sur face •

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 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.

Educate children about the dangers •

of climbing on furniture to reach the

TV.
Risk of overheating! Never install the TV •
in a confined space. Always leave a space
of at least 4 inches or 10 cm around the
TV for ventilation. Ensure cur tains or
other objects never cover the ventilation
slots on the TV.
Risk of damage to the TV! Before you •
connect the TV to the power outlet,
ensure that the power voltage matches

4

EN

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, fire or power cord damage! •
Never place the TV or any objects on the
power cord.
To easily disconnect the TV power cord •
from the power outlet, ensure that you
have full access to the power cord at all
times.
When you disconnect the power cord, •
always pull the plug, never the cable.
Disconnect the TV from the power outlet •
and aerial before lightning storms. During
lightning storms, never touch any par t of
the TV, power cord or aerial cable.
Risk of hearing damage! Avoid using •
earphones or headphones at high
volumes or for prolonged periods of time.
If the TV is transported in temperatures •
below 5°C, unpack the TV and wait
until the TV temperature matches room
temperature before connecting the TV to
the power outlet.

9 Troubleshooting

TV channel issues

This section describes commonly encountered
issues and accompanying solutions.

General TV issues

The TV does not switch on:

Disconnect the power cable from the •
power outlet. Wait for one minute then
reconnect it.
Check that the power cable is securely •
connected.

The remote control is not working properly:

Check that the remote control batteries •
are correctly inser ted according to the
+/- orientation.
Replace the remote control batteries if •
they are flat or weak.
Clean the remote control and TV sensor •
lens.

The standby light on the TV blinks red:

Disconnect the power cable from the •
power outlet. Wait until the TV cools
down before reconnecting the power
cable. If the blinking reoccurs, contact
Philips Consumer Care.

You forgot the code to unlock the TV lock
feature

Enter ‘8888’. •

The TV menu is in the wrong language.

Change the TV menu to your preferred •
language.

When turning the TV on/off/to standby, you
hear a creaking sound from the TV chassis:

No action is required. The creaking sound •
is normal expansion and contraction of
the TV as it cools down and warms up.
This does not impact performance.

Previously installed channels do not appear in
the channel list:

Check that the correct channel list is •
selected.

Picture issues

The TV is on, but there is no picture:

Check that the antenna is properly •
connected to the TV.
Check that the correct device is selected •
as the T V source.

There is sound but no picture:

Check that the picture settings are •
correctly set.

There is poor TV reception from an antenna
connection:

Check that the antenna is properly •
connected to the TV.
Loudspeakers, 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.

There is poor picture quality from connected
devices:

Check that the devices are connected •
properly.
Check that the picture settings are •
correctly set.

The TV did not save your picture settings:

Check that the TV location is set to the •
home setting. This mode offers you the
flexibility to change and save settings.

The picture does not fit the screen; it is too
big or too small:

Try using a different picture format. •

English

EN

25

The picture position is incorrect:

Picture signals from some devices may •
not fit the screen correctly. Check the
signal output of the device.

Sound issues

Computer connection issues

The computer display on the TV is not stable:

Check that a supported resolution and •
refresh rate is selected on the computer.
Set the TV picture format to unscaled. •

There is a picture but sound quality is poor:

Note

If no audio signal is detected, the TV •
automatically switches the audio output off
— this does not indicate malfunction.

Check that all cables are properly •
connected.
Check that the volume is not set to 0. •
Check that the sound is not muted. •

There is a picture but the sound quality is
poor:

Check that the sound settings are •
correctly set.

There is a picture but sound comes from one
speaker only:

Verify that sound balance is set to the •
centre.

HDMI connection issues

There are problems with HDMI devices:

Note that HDCP suppor t can delay the •
time taken for a TV to display content
from a HDMI device.
If the TV does not recognize the HDMI •
device and no picture is displayed, try
switching the source from one device to
another and back again.
If there are intermittent sound •
disruptions, check that output settings
from the HDMI device are correct.
If a HDMI-to-DVI adaptor or HDMI to •
DVI cable is used, check that an additional
audio cable is connected to AUDIO L/R
or AUDIO IN (mini-jack only).
