Tips on 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.
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.
If your devices are connected with HDMI and have
EasyLink, you can operate them with the TV remote
control. EasyLink HDMI CEC must be turned On on
the TV and the connected device.
For more information on using EasyLink, press
Keywords and look up EasyLink CEC.
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 Theater 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
HDMI CEC
HDMI connections provide the best picture and
sound quality. HDMI cables combine video and audio
signals. Use an HDMI cable for high-definition (HD)
and TV signals. For best signal quality, use a highspeed HDMI cable, and do not use HDMI cables
longer than 5 m.
In case you prefer to turn off ARC on the HDMI
connections, press and select Setup and press OK.
Select TV settings > Sound > Advanced > HDMI ARC.
HDMI Ultra HD
You can watch videos filmed or made in 'native' Ultra
HD resolution - 3840x2160 pixels - on this TV.
Connect a Blu-ray Disc player, game console or
computer that plays Ultra HD videos to the HDMI 3
connection. Use a High speed HDMI cable to connect.
The HDMI UHD connections have ARC (Audio Return
Channel).
Only the HDMI 3 connection has HDCP 2.2 .
11
Video-Audio LR
EasyLink
CVBS - Component Video is a high quality
connection. Next to the CVBS signals add the Audio
Left and Right signals for sound.
Audio Out - Optical
Audio Out - Optical is a high quality sound
connection. This optical connection can carry 5.1
audio channels. If your device, typically a Home
Theater System (HTS), has no HDMI ARC connection,
you can use this connection with the Audio In Optical connection on the HTS. The Audio Out Optical connection sends the sound from the TV to
the HTS.
With EasyLink you can operate a connected device
with the TV remote control. EasyLink uses HDMI CEC
(Consumer Electronics Control) to communicate with
the connected devices. Devices must support HDMI
CEC and must be connected with an HDMI
connection.
EasyLink setup
The TV comes with EasyLink turned on. Make sure
that all HDMI CEC settings are properly set up on the
connected EasyLink devices. EasyLink might not work
with devices from other brands.
HDMI CEC on other brands
The HDMI CEC functionality has different names on
different brands. Some examples are: Anynet, Aquos
Link, Bravia Theatre Sync, Kuro Link, Simplink and
Viera Link. Not all brands are fully compatible with
EasyLink.
Example HDMI CEC branding names are property of
their respective owners.
You can set the type of the audio out signal to fit the
audio capabilities of your Home Theater System.
For more information, press Keywords and look
up Audio Out settings.
If the sound does not match the video on screen, you
can adjust the audio to video synchronization.

Use 2 antenna cables to connect the antenna to the
Set-top box (a digital receiver) and the TV.
4.4
Home Theater System - HTS
Connect HTS
Use an HDMI cable to connect a Home Theater
System (HTS) to the TV. You can connect a Philips
Soundbar or an HTS with a built-in disc player.

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 Theater System, the TV can
only send the ARC signal to this HDMI connection.
If the Home Theater System has no HDMI ARC
