Safety

Precautions

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

Risk of electric shock or fire!

 Never expose the TV to rain or water.

Never place liquid containers, such as
vases, near the TV. If liquids are spilled
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.

 Never expose the remote control or

batteries to rain, water or excessive
heat.

 Avoid force coming onto power plugs.

Ensure that the power plug is fully
inserted into the power socket. Loose
power plugs can cause arcing or fire.

 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.

 To disconnect the TV from the mains

power, the power plug of the TV must
be disconnected. When disconnecting
the power, always pull the power plug,
never the cord. Ensure that you have
full access to the power plug, power
cord and outlet socket at all times.

Risk of damage to the TV!

 Two people are required to lift and

carry a TV that weighs more than 25kg
or 55lbs.

 When stand mounting the TV, use only

the supplied stand. Secure the stand to
the TV 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. TP
Vision Netherlands B.V. bears no
responsibility for improper wall
mounting that result in accident, injury
or damage.

 If you need to store the TV,

disassemble the stand from the TV.
Never lay the TV on its back with the
stand installed.

 Before you connect the TV to the

power outlet, ensure that the power
voltage matches the value printed on
the back of the TV. Never connect the
TV to the power outlet if the voltage is
different.

 Parts of this product may be made of

glass. Handle with care to avoid injury
and damage.

EN 3

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 surface

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 swallowing batteries!

 The product/remote control may

contain a coin-type battery, which can
be swallowed. Keep the battery out of
reach of children at all times!

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 that curtains or
other objects never cover the
ventilation slots on the TV.

Risk of injury, fire or power cord damage!

 Never place the TV or any objects on

the power cord.

 Disconnect the TV from the socket and

aerial before lightning storms. During
lightning storms, never touch any part
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.

Low temperatures

 If the TV is transported in temperatures

below 5°C or 41°F, unpack the TV and
wait until the TV temperature matches
room temperature before connecting
the TV to the power outlet.

Care

Screen

 Risk of damage to the TV screen!

Never touch, push, rub or strike the
screen with any object.

 Unplug the TV before cleaning.
 Clean the TV and frame with a soft

damp cloth and wipe gently. Never use
substances such as alcohol, chemicals or
household cleaners on the TV.

 To avoid deformations and colour

fading, wipe off water drops as soon as
possible.

 Avoid stationary images as much as

possible. Stationary images are images
that remain onscreen for extended
periods of time. Stationary images
include onscreen menus, black bars,
time displays, etc. If you must use
stationary images, reduce screen
contrast and brightness to avoid screen
damage.

household devices, such as Dect phones,
microwave ovens or Bluetooth devices,
which can cause WiFi interference. Move
these devices away from the TV.

 To reduce network traffic, switch off

unused network equipment in the
home network.

 Reception quality depends on the

location of the wireless router and your
local Internet service provider.

 When playing video over your wireless

home network, we recommend that

6 Troubleshooting

General issues

The TV does not switch on:

 Disconnect the power cable from the

power outlet. Wait for one minute
then reconnect it.

 Make sure that the power cable is

securely connected.

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

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

The TV does not respond to remote
control or TV controls when switched on:

The TV requires some time to start up.
During this time, the TV does not respond
to the remote control or TV controls. This is
normal behaviour.

If the TV continues to be unresponsive to
the remote control, view the remote control
sensor through a digital camera – if you
press any button on the remote control and
notice red flickering at the sensor, the
remote control is working but the TV may
need to be checked by Philips Consumer
Care. This troubleshooting procedure is not
applicable to remote controls that are paired
wirelessly with the TV.

When the TV is in standby, a start-up
splash screen is displayed, then the TV
returns to standby mode:

This is normal behaviour. When the TV is
disconnected and reconnected to the power
supply, the startup screen is displayed at the
next startup.
To switch on the TV from standby, press
on the remote control or press any key on
the TV.

The standby light on the TV blinks red:
Disconnect the power cable from the power
outlet. Wait until the TV cools down before
you reconnect the power cable. If the
blinking reoccurs, contact Philips Consumer
Care.

The TV audio is in the wrong language:
If you select audio language via

OPTIONS, the TV resets to the default
language when you change channels or
switch off the TV. To retain the selected
language, change your audio language by

pressing , then selecting [Setup] >

[Channel settings] or [Satellite settings] >
[Languages] > [Primary audio language] or
[Secondary audio language].

The TV or Smart TV menu is in the wrong
language:

Change the menu to your preferred
language.
For more information, see Change your TV

settings > Language settings > Menu
language (Page 40).

Channel issues

You want to install TV channels:
See Change your TV settings > Automatic
installation (Page 36) for instructions on

installing analogue or digital channels. If you
want to install satellite TV channels, see
Change your TV settings > Satellite settings
(Page 39).

No digital channels were found during the
installation:

 See the technical specifications to make

sure that your TV supports DVB-T,
DVB-C or DVB-S in your country.

 Make sure that all cables are properly

connected and that the correct
network is selected.

Previously installed channels do not appear
in the channel list:

Make sure that the correct channel list is
selected.

EN 61

You want to rearrange or reorder the
channel list:

After channels have been installed, they
appear in the channel list. For information
about managing channel lists, including
rearranging channels, see Watch TV >

Manage channel lists (Page 13).

Picture issues

The TV is on, but there is no picture or the
picture is distorted:

 Make sure that the antenna is properly

connected to the TV.

 Make sure that the correct device is

selected as the display source.

 Make sure that the external device or

source is properly connected.

There is sound but no picture:
Make sure that the picture settings are set
correctly.

There is poor TV reception from an
antenna connection:

 Make sure that the antenna is properly

connected to the TV.

 Loud speakers, 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:

 Make sure that the devices are

connected properly.

 Make sure that the picture settings are

set correctly.

The TV did not save your picture settings:
Make sure that the TV location is set to

Home. You can change and save settings in
this mode.

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

Change to a different picture format.

The picture format keeps changing with
different channels:

Instead of the picture format [Auto zoom],
select a different picture format.

The picture position is incorrect:
Picture signals from some devices may not fit
the screen correctly. Check the signal output
of the device.

The picture from broadcasts is scrambled:
You may need a Conditional Access Module
to access content. Check with your service
operator.

An "e-sticker" banner displaying
information appears on the TV display:

The TV is in [Shop] mode. To remove the
e-sticker, set the TV to [Home] mode, then
restart the TV. See Change your TV settings

> Other settings > Home mode (Page 42).
The computer display on the TV is not

stable:

 Make sure that your PC uses the

supported resolution and refresh rate.
See Specifications > Display
resolutions (Page 65).

 Change the TV picture format to

[Unscaled].

EN 62

English

Sound issues

There is a picture but sound quality is
poor:

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

 Make sure that all cables are properly

connected.

 Make sure that the volume is not

muted or set to zero.

 Make sure that the TV speaker setting

is selected. Press OPTIONS, select
[Picture and sound] > [Speakers], then
select [TV].

 Make sure that the TV audio output is

connected to the audio input on the
HDMI-CEC enabled or EasyLink
compliant home theatre device. Sound
should be heard from the home theatre
speakers.

 Some devices may require you to

manually enable HDMI audio output. If
HDMI audio is already enabled, but you
still do not hear audio, try changing the
digital audio format of the device to
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation). Refer
to the documentation accompanying
your device for instructions.

There is a picture but the sound quality is
poor:

Make sure that the sound settings are
correctly set.

Connection issues

There are problems with HDMI devices:

 Note that HDCP (High-bandwidth

Digital Content Protection) support can
delay the time taken for a TV to display
content from an HDMI device.

 If the TV does not recognise the HDMI

device and no picture is displayed,
switch the source from one device to
another and back again.

 If there are intermittent sound

disruptions, make sure that output
settings from the HDMI device are
correct.

 If you use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter or

HDMI to DVI cable, make sure that an
additional audio cable is connected to
AUDIO L/R or AUDIO IN (mini-jack
only).

You cannot use EasyLink features:
Make sure that your HDMI devices are
HDMI-CEC compatible. EasyLink features
only work with devices that are HDMI-CEC
compatible.

If an HDMI-CEC compliant audio device is
connected to the TV and the TV does not
display any mute or volume icon when the
volume is muted, increased or decreased:

When a HDMI-CEC audio device is
connected this behaviour is normal.

USB device content is not displayed:

 Make sure that the USB storage device

is set to Mass Storage Class compliant,
as described in the storage device's
documentation.

 Make sure that the USB storage device

is compatible with the TV.

 Make sure that the audio and picture

file formats are supported by the TV.

Audio and picture files on your USB
storage device do not play or display
smoothly:

The transfer performance of the USB
storage device may limit the data transfer
rate to the TV which causes poor playback.

EN 63

Network issues

to the TV and that your router has open
access to the Internet. If your router has a
firewall or security settings, make sure that it
allows Smart TV data to pass through –
check your router documentation for details.

Internet access via Smart TV is slow:

 Try to improve the signal quality

between the router and TV if you are
accessing the Internet wirelessly. Refer
to the router's documentation for
details.

connection wherever possible.

 Update your TV with the latest

software to ensure browsing speed is
optimal.

Your network is slow:

If you are accessing your PC wirelessly, refer
