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 up to 4 satellites at the start of the installation.
* Note: supports Unicable 1 (EN50494) and Unicable 2 (EN50607/JESS).
Start the Installation
Make sure your satellite dish is connected correctly and is perfectly aligned before you start the installation.
To start the satellite installation:
1 - Select  Settings > Channels & Inputs > Channels > Satellite Installation and press OK. Enter your PIN code if necessary.
2 - Select Search for Satellite and press OK. 3 - Select Search and press OK. TV will search for
satellites. 4 - Select Install and press OK. 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 5.
5 - 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. In some countries, you can adjust some expert settings for each LNB in More Settings. 6 - 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. 7 - When the TV found the satellites you need, select Install. 8 - If a satellite offers Channel Packages, the TV will show the available packages for that satellite. Select
Satellite Installation Settings
The satellite installation settings are preset according to 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 Configure 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 the colour
Done to return to the screen to start
key 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 values which you can enter here.
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 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.
13
Channel Packages
User Band Frequency
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.
If you choose a subscription package, the TV might ask you to select a Quick or Full installation. Select Quick to install the channels of the package only or select Full to install the package and all other available channels too. We recommend a Quick installation for subscription packages. If you have additional satellites that are not part of your subscription package, we recommend a Full installation. All installed channels are put in the channels list All.
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. You can install up to 4 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.
* Note: supports Unicable 1 (EN50494) and Unicable 2 (EN50607/JESS).
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.
Manual Channel Update
You can always start a channel update yourself.
To start a channel update manually:
1 - Select  Settings > Channels & Inputs > Channels > Satellite Installation and press OK.
2 - Select Search for Channels and press OK. 3 - Select Update Channels and press OK. The TV
will start updating. The update may take a few minutes. 4 - Follow the instructions on screen. The update may take a few minutes.
5 - Select Finish and press OK.
Manual Installation
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.
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.

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.
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.
Only HDMI 2 on the TV supports HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) and HDMI eARC.
If the device, typically a Home Theatre System (HTS), soundbar or AV receiver, also has the HDMI ARC connection, connect it to HDMI 2 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 eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) is an advancement over the previous ARC. It covers all ARC features but with higher bandwidth and speed. eARC supports high quality audio transmission up to192kHz, 24-bit, uncompressed 5.1 and 7.1, and 32-channel uncompressed audio.
Note: HDMI eARC is only available on HDMI 2. Use Ultra High-speed HDMI cable for eARC. Only one eARC device is available at a time.

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.
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 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.

Poor picture from a device
• Make sure that the device is connected properly. Make sure the device's output video setting is the highest possible resolution if applicable.
• Restore picture style or change to other picture styles.
Picture settings change after a while
Make sure that Location is set to Home . You can change and save settings in this mode.
A commercial banner appears
Make sure that Location is set to Home.
Picture does not fit the screen
• Change to a different picture format.
• Change Picture format to Original.
Picture position is incorrect
• Picture signals from some devices may not fit the screen correctly. Check the signal output of the connected device.
73
• Change Picture format to Original. Computer picture is not stable
Make sure that your PC uses the supported resolution and refresh rate.
Sound
No sound or poor sound quality
If no audio signal is detected, the TV automatically switches the audio output off — this does not indicate malfunction.
• Make sure that the sound settings are correctly set.
• 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 audio output is connected to the audio input on the Home Theatre System. Sound should be heard from the HTS speakers.

HDMI and USB
HDMI
• 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 the picture and sound of a device connected to HDMI is distorted, connect the device to another HDMI port on TV and power reboot your source device.
• If the picture and sound of a device connected with HDMI is distorted, check if a different HDMI Ultra HD setting can solve this problem. In Help, press the colour key
HD.
• 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 IN (mini-jack only), if available.
HDMI EasyLink does not work
• Make sure that your HDMI devices are HDMI-CEC compatible. EasyLink features only work with devices that are HDMI-CEC compatible.
HDMI eARC is not working well
• Make sure the HDMI cable is connected to HDMI 2.
Keywords and look up HDMI Ultra
• Make sure the Ultra High-speed HDMI cable is used for eARC connection.
• Only one eARC device is available at a time.
No volume icon shown
• When an HDMI-CEC audio device is connected and you use the TV Remote Control to adjust the volume level from the device, this behaviour is normal.

Internet does not work
• If the connection to the router is OK, check the router connection to the Internet.
The PC and Internet connection are slow
• Look in your wireless router's user manual for information on indoor range, transfer rate and other factors of signal quality.
• Use a high-speed (broadband) Internet connection for your router.
DHCP
• If the connection fails, you can check the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) setting of the router. DHCP should be switched on.
Poor quality when watching streaming video
• The image/sound quality of stream video is depending on the original video content provided by streaming video apps.
• To ensure the best experience of watching streaming videos, a fast and stable network connection is essential. The recommended network connection speed for the streaming videos are as follows:
- Standard image quality (SD): 5 Mbps
- High image quality (HD): 10 Mbps
- 4K/Ultra HD (UHD): 25 Mbps
74

Safety and Care

24.1

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 contain 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
76
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

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.
24.2

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.
