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

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.

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 TV goes back to standby after showing the

Picture

No picture / distorted picture

• 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.

Sound but no picture

• Change to other video sources and then change
back to current source, then do picture style restore in
Picture settings or do Factory reset in General settings
option.

Poor antenna reception

• 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 with Manual Installation.

Poor picture from a device

• Make sure that the device is connected properly.

47

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 Retail mode is set to Off . You can
change and save settings in this mode.

A commercial banner appears

Make sure that Retail mode is set
to Off . Press MENU > TV
options > Settings > Device Preferences > Retail
mode and press OK

Picture does not fit the screen

• Change to a different picture format.

• Change Display mode to Automatic.

Picture position is incorrect

• Picture signals from some devices may not fit the
screen correctly. Check the signal output of the
connected device.

• Change Display mode to Automatic.

Computer picture is not stable

• Make sure that your PC uses the supported
resolution and refresh rate.

• Make sure HDMI video source is not supported HDR
content.

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.

• 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.

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 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.

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.

Photos, videos and music from a USB device do not
show

• 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.

Choppy playback of USB files

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

Network

Wi-Fi network not found or distorted

• Microwave ovens, DECT phones or other Wi-Fi

802.11b/g/n devices in your proximity might disturb
the wireless network.

• Make sure that the firewalls in your network allow
access to the TV's wireless connection.

• If the wireless network does not work properly in
your home, try the wired network installation.

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

48

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.

Safety and Care

22.1

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.

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.

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 !

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

50

can defeat a safeguard (for example, in the case of
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

22.2

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. 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.

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.

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.
