User Band Number

In a Unicable system, each connected satellite tuner
must be numbered (e.g. 0, 1, 2 or 3 etc.).

You can find the available user bands and their
number on the Unicable switchbox. User band is
sometimes shortened as UB. If you select Unicable in
the settings, the TV will ask you to assign the unique
user band number for each built-in satellite tuners. A
satellite tuner cannot have the same user band
number as another satellite tuner in the Unicable
system.

User Band Frequency

Next to the unique user band number, the built-in
satellite receiver needs the frequency of the selected
user band number. These frequencies are mostly
shown next to the user band number on a Unicable
switchbox.

Satellite CAM

If you use a CAM (CI+) – a Conditional Access Module
with a smart card – to watch satellite channels, we
recommend to do the satellite installation with the
CAM inserted in the TV.

Most CAMs are used to descramble channels.

Scan channels with Satellite manual tuning

Satellite Manual Tuning is used to scan only one
satellite by setting the Transponder of selected
satellite. In this condition of scanning, only
Transponder adjustment is allowed, other setting
items are disabled.

Unicable Setup

The Unicable System

You can use a Single Cable system or Unicable
system to connect the antenna dish to the TV. A
Single Cable system uses one cable to connect the
satellite dish to all satellite tuners in its system. A
Single Cable system is typically used in apartment
buildings. If you use a Unicable system, the TV will ask
you to assign a user band number and corresponding
frequency during the installation.

If you notice some missing channels after a Unicable
installation, another installation might have been
done at the same moment on the Unicable system.
Do the installation again to install the missing
channels.

Newest generation CAMs can install all the satellite
channels by themselves on your TV. The CAM will
invite you to install its satellite(s) and channels. These
CAMs not only install and descramble the channels
but also handle regular channel updates.

To open the CAM (CI+) menu...
Press MENU > TV options > CI Card and press OK.

Connect Devices

7.1

About 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.

When you connect a device, the TV recognizes its
type and gives each device a correct type name. You
can change the type name if you wish. If a correct
type name for a device is set, the TV automatically
switches to the ideal TV settings when you switch to
this device in the Sources menu.

Only HDMI 1 connection on the TV has HDMI
ARC (Audio Return Channel).

If the device, typically a Home Theatre System (HTS),
also has the HDMI ARC connection, connect it to
HDMI 1 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.

HDMI CEC

Antenna port

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 ports

HDMI Quality

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.

Connect HDMI CEC-compatible devices to your TV,
you can operate them with the TV remote control.

HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronic Control) must be

Troubleshooting

Switch On and Remote Control

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.

Creaking sound at startup or switch off

When you are switching the TV on, off or to standby,
you hear a creaking sound from the TV chassis. 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 standby light keeps on blinking

Disconnect the power cable from the power outlet.
Wait 5 minutes before you reconnect the power
cable. If the blinking reoccurs, contact Philips TV
Consumer Care.

Channels

No digital channels found during the installation

See the technical specifications to make sure that
your TV supports digital channels in your country.
Make sure that all cables are properly connected and
that the correct network is selected.

Previously installed channels are not in the channel
list

Make sure that the correct channel list is selected.

PIN Code

The PIN code can be set to lock the channels or
protect from unauthorized operations, e.g. reinstalling
the TV and resetting the PIN code. If you forgot your
PIN code, you can override the current one by using
the code 8888 and entering a new one.

TV does not respond to the remote control

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, you can check if the remote control is working
by means of a mobile phone camera. Put the phone
in camera mode and point the remote control to the
camera lens. If you press any key on the remote
control and you notice the infra red LED flicker
through the camera, the remote control is working.
The TV needs to be checked.
If you do not notice the flickering, the remote control
might be broken or its batteries are low.
This method of checking the remote control is not
possible with remote controls which are wirelessly
paired with the TV.

The TV goes back to standby after showing the
Philips startup screen

When the TV is in standby, a Philips startup screen is
displayed, then the TV returns to standby mode. This
is normal behaviour. When the TV is disconnected

Safety and Care

21.1

Safety

Important

Read and understand all safety instructions before
you use the TV. If damage is caused by failure to
follow 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 spilt on or into the TV, disconnect the TV
from the power outlet immediately.
Contact Philips TV Consumer Care to have the TV
checked before use.

• Never expose the TV, remote control or batteries to
excessive heat. Never place them near burning
candles, naked flames or other heat sources,
including direct sunlight.

• Never insert objects into the ventilation slots or other
openings on the TV.

• Never place heavy objects on the power cord.

• Avoid force coming onto power plugs. Loose power
plugs can cause arcing or fire. Ensure that no strain is
exerted on the power cord when you swivel the TV
screen.

• 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.

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.

Stability Hazards

A television set may fall, causing serious personal
injury or death. Many injuries, particularly to children,
can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:

• ALWAYS ensure the television set is not overhanging
the edge of the supporting furniture.

• ALWAYS use cabinets or stands or mounting
methods recommended by the manufacturer of the
television set.

• ALWAYS use furniture that can safely support the
television set.

• ALWAYS educate children about the dangers of
climbing on furniture to reach the television set or its
controls.

• ALWAYS route cords and cables connected to your
television so they cannot be tripped over, pulled or
grabbed.

• NEVER place a television set in an unstable location.

• NEVER place the television set on tall furniture (for
example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring
both the furniture and the television set to a suitable
support.

• NEVER place the television set on cloth or other
materials that may be located between the television
set and supporting furniture.

• NEVER place items that might tempt children to
climb, such as toys and remote controls, on the top of
the television or furniture on which the television is
placed.

If the existing television set is going to be retained
and relocated, the same considerations as above
should be applied.

Risk of Injury or Damage to the TV

• Two people are required to lift and carry a TV that
weighs more than 25 kg or 55 lbs.

• If you mount the TV on a stand, only use the
supplied stand. Secure the stand to the TV tightly.
Place the TV on a flat, level surface that can support
the weight of the TV and the stand.

• When wall mounted, ensure that the wall mount can
safely bear the weight of the TV set. TP Vision bears
no responsibility for improper wall mounting that
results in accident, injury or damage.

• Parts of this product are made of glass. Handle with
care to avoid injury or damage.

Risk of damage to the TV !

Before you connect the TV to the power outlet,

Risk of Batteries

• Do not ingest the battery. Chemical burn hazard.

• The remote control may contains a coin/button cell
battery. If the coin/button cell battery is swallowed, it
can cause severe internal burns in just 2 hours and
can lead to death.

• Keep new and used batteries away from children.

• If the battery compartment does not close securely,
stop using the product and keep it away from
children.

• If you think batteries might have been swallowed or
placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate
medical attention.

• Risk of fire or explosion if the battery is replaced by
an incorrect type.

• Replacement of a battery with an incorrect type that
can defeat a safeguard (for example, in the case of

51

some lithium battery types).

• Disposal of a battery into fire or a hot oven, or
mechanically crushing or cutting of a battery, that can
result in an explosion.

• Leaving a battery in an extremely high temperature
surrounding environment that can result in an
explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.

• A battery subjected to extremely low air pressure
that may result in an explosion or the leakage of
flammable liquid or gas.

Risk of Overheating

Never install the TV in a confined space. Always leave
a space of at least 10 cm or 4 inches around the TV
for ventilation. Ensure curtains or other objects never
cover the ventilation slots on the TV.

Lightning Storms

Disconnect the TV from the power outlet and antenna
before lightning storms.
During lightning storms, never touch any part of the
TV, power cord or antenna cable.

21.2

Screen Care

• 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. Avoid touching the Ambilight* LEDs on
the backside of the TV. Never use substances such as
alcohol, chemicals or household cleaners on the TV.

• To avoid deformations and colour fading, wipe off
water drops as quickly 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.

* Ambilight LED is only for models which support
Ambilight function.

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
reaches room temperature before connecting the TV
to the power outlet.

Humidity

In rare occasions, depending on temperature and
humidity, minor condensation can occur on the inside
of the TV glass front (on some models). To prevent
this, do not expose the TV to direct sunlight, heat or
extreme humidity. If condensation occurs, it will
disappear spontaneously while the TV is playing for a
few hours.
The condensation moisture will not harm the TV or
cause malfunction.
