Satellite Installation

About Installing Satellites

Up to 4 Satellites You can install up to 4 satellites (4 LNBs) on this TV.

Select the exact number of satellites you wish to install at the start of the installation. This will speed up the installation.

Unicable

You can use a Unicable system to connect the antenna dish to the TV. You can select Unicable for 1 or for 2 satellites at the start of the installation.

Start the Installation

Make sure your satellite dish is connected correctly and is perfectly aligned before you start the installation.

The satellite installation settings are preset according your country. These settings determine how the TV searches and installs satellites and its channels. You can always change these settings.

To change the satellite installation settings…

1 - Start the satellite installation. 2 - On the screen where you can start searching for

satellites, select Settings and press OK. 3 - Select the number of satellites you want to install or select one of the Unicable systems. When you select Unicable, you can choose the User Band Numbers and enter the User Band Frequencies for each tuner.

4 - When you're done, select Next and press OK. 5 - On the Settings menu, press OK to return to the

screen to start searching for satellites.

Homing Transponder and LNB

In some countries, you can adjust the expert settings for homing transponder and each LNB. Only use or change these settings when a normal installation fails. If you have non-standard satellite equipment, you can use these settings to overrule the standard settings. Some providers might give you some transponder or LNB valeus which you can enter here.

To start the satellite installation…

1 - Press , select All Settings and press OK. 2 - Select Channels > Satellite Installation. Enter

your PIN code if necessary.

3 - Select Search for Satellite. 4 - Select Search. TV will search for satellites. 5 - Select Configure. The TV shows the current

satellite installation setup. If you want to change this setup, select Settings. If you don't want to change the setup, select Search. Go to step 7.

6 - In Installation System, select the number of satellites you want to install or select one of the Unicable systems. When you select Unicable, you can choose the User Band Numbers and enter the User Band Frequencies for each tuner. You can find user band in unicable router. In some countries, you can adjust some expert settings for each LNB in More Settings. 7 - The TV will search for the satellites available on the alignment of your antenna dish. This may take a few minutes. If a satellite is found, its name and reception strength are shown on screen. 8 - When the TV found the satellites you need, select Install. 9 - If a satellite offers Channel Packages, the TV will show the available packages for that satellite. Select the package you need. 10 - To store the satellite setup and installed channels and radio stations, select Done.

Satellite CAMs

If you use a CAM – 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. Newest generation CAMs (CI+ 1.3 with Operator

Profile), 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.

Channel Packages

Satellite operators can offer channel packages that bundle free channels (free-to-air) and offer a sorting that suits a country. Some satellites offer subscription packages - a collection of channels you pay for.

Unicable Setup

Add a Satellite

The Unicable System

You can use a Single Cable system, MDU 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. You can install 1 or 2 satellites with Unicable on this TV.

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.

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. There are Unicable switchboxes that offer 4 or 8 user bands. 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.

You can add an additional satellite to your current satellite installation. The installed satellites and their channels remain untouched. Some satellite operators do not allow adding a satellite.

The additional satellite should be seen as an extra, it is not your main satellite subscription or not the main satellite of which you use its channel package. Typically, you would add a 4th satellite when you have 3 satellites already installed. If you have 4 satellites installed, you might consider removing one first to be able to add a new satellite.

Setup

If you currently have only 1 or 2 satellites installed, the current installation settings might not allow adding an extra satellite. If you need to change the installation settings, you must redo the complete satellite installation. You cannot use Add satellite if a change of settings is needed.

To add a satellite…

1 - Press , select All Settings and press OK. 2 - Select Channels > Satellite Installation. 3 - Select Search for satellite. 4 - Select Add Satellite. The current satellites are

shown. 5 - Select Search. The TV will search for new satellites. 6 - If the TV has found one or more satellites, select Install. The TV installs the channels of the found satellites. 7 - Select Finish and press OK to store the channels and radio stations.

Remove a Satellite

1 - Press , select All Settings and press OK. 2 - Select Channels > Satellite Installation. 3 - Select Search for Channels. 4 - Select Update Channels. The TV will start

updating. The update may take a few minutes. 5 - Follow the instructions on screen. The update may take a few minutes. 6 - Select Finish and press OK.

You can remove one or more satellites from your current satellite installation. You remove the satellite and its channels. Some satellite operators do not allow removing a satellite.

are shown. 5 - Select a satellite and press OK to mark or unmark them to remove. 6 - Press  (left) repeatedly if necessary, to close the menu.

Manual Installation

Problems

Manual Installation is intended for expert users. You can use Manual Installation to quickly add new

channels from a satellite transponder. You need to know the frequency and polarization of the transponder. The TV will install all channels of that transponder. If the transponder was installed before, all its channels - the former and the new ones - are moved to the end of the channel list All. You cannot use Manual installation if you need to change the number of satellites. If this is needed, you have to do a complete installation with Install Satellites.

To install a transponder…

1 - Press , select All Settings and press OK. 2 - Select Channels > Satellite Installation. 3 - Select Manual Installation and press  (right)

to enter the menu. 4 - If you have more than 1 satellite installed, select LNB for which you want to add channels. 5 - Set the Polarisation you need.

Homing Transponder and LNB

The TV cannot find the satellites I want or the TV installs the same satellite twice

• Make sure that the correct number of satellites is set in Settings at the start of the installation. You can set the TV to search for One, Two or 3/4 satellites.

A dual head LNB cannot find a second satellite

• If the TV finds one satellite but cannot find a second one, turn the dish a few degrees. Align the dish to get the strongest signal on the first satellite. Check the signal strength indicator of the first satellite on screen. With the first satellite set at the strongest signal, select Search again to find the second satellite.

• Make sure the settings are set to Two Satellites.

Changing the installation settings did not solve my problem

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.

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.

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 TV signal.

For best signal quality transfer, use a High speed HDMI cable and do not use an HDMI cable longer than 5 m.

If a device connected with HDMI is not working correctly, check if a different HDMI Ultra HD setting can solve this problem. For more information, in Help, select Keywords and look up HDMI Ultra HD.

Go to www.connectivityguide.philips.com

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.

Copy protection

HDMI cables support HDCP 2.2 (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 System (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 MHL

With HDMI MHL, you can send what you see on your Android smartphone or tablet to a TV screen.

The HDMI 4 connection on this TV incorporates MHL 2.0 (Mobile High-Definition Link).

This wired connection offers great stability and bandwidth, low latency, no wireless interference and good quality sound reproduction. On top of that, the MHL connection will charge the battery of your smartphone or tablet. Although connected, your mobile device will not be charging when the TV is on standby.

Inform yourself about what passive MHL cable is suited for your mobile device. In particular, with the HDMI connector for the TV on one side, the type of connector you need to connect to your smartphone or tablet.

Example HDMI CEC branding names are property of their respective owners.

HDMI CEC - EasyLink

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.

DVI to HDMI

If you still own a device that only has a DVI connection, you can connect the device to any of the HDMI connection with a DVI to HDMI adapter.

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.

EasyLink HDMI CEC

If your devices are connected with HDMI and have EasyLink, you can operate them with the TV remote control. EasyLink HDMI CEC must be switched On on

Connect with HDMI ARC

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.

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.

Problems with HTS sound

Sound with loud noise

If you watch a video from a plugged in USB flash drive or connected computer, the sound from your Home Theatre System might be distorted. This noise is heard when the audio or video file has DTS sound but the Home Theatre System has no DTS sound processing. You can fix this by setting the Audio Out Format of the TV to Stereo (uncompressed).

Press  for All

Settings > Sound > Advanced > Audio Out Format.

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.

Connect with HDMI

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.

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.

No sound

If you cannot hear the sound from the TV on your Home Theatre System, check if you connected the HDMI cable to an HDMI ARC connection on the Home Theatre System. All HDMI connections on the TV are HDMI ARC connections.

What You Need

You can connect a wireless device with Bluetooth® to this TV – a wireless speaker, a subwoofer, a sound bar or headphones. You can also connect a wireless gamepad with Bluetooth LE.

To play the TV sound on a wireless speaker, you must pair the wireless speaker with the TV. You can pair some wireless speakers and a maximum of 4 Bluetooth LE (low energy) devices. The TV can only play the sound on one speaker at a time. If you connect a subwoofer, the sound is played on the TV and the subwoofer. If you connect a sound bar the sound is played on the sound bar only.

Attention - Audio to Video syncronisation

Many Bluetooth speaker systems have a high, so called, 'latency'. High latency means that the audio lags behind the video, causing unsynchronised 'lip sync'. Before you purchase a wireless Bluetooth speaker system, inform yourself about the newest models and look for a device with a low latency rating. Ask your dealer for advice.

Pairing a Device

If the DVD player is connected with HDMI and has EasyLink CEC, you can operate the player with the TV remote control.
