Connect devices

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.

HDMI

HDMI CEC

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, do not use an HDMI cable longer than 5 m.

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 the TV and the
connected device.
In Help, press * List and look up EasyLink HDMI CEC for
more information on using EasyLink.

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 3.5 mm) to Audio In VGA/DVI for
sound, on the back of the TV.

Copy protection

DVI and HDMI cables s upport 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 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.

Setting up / Connect devices 9

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.

In case you prefer to switch off ARC on the HDMI
connections, press h and select S Setup and press OK.
Select TV settings > Sound > Advanced > HDMI ARC.

Y Pb Pr

Component Video YPbPr is a high quality connection. The

YPbPr connection can be used for High Definition (HD) TV
signals. Next to the Y, Pb and Pr signals add the Audio Left
and Right signals for sound.

Use the supplied YPbPr adapter cable to connect your device.
Match the YPbPr (green, blue, red) connector colours with the
cable plugs when you connect.
Use an Audio L/R cinch to mini-jack (3.5mm) adapter cable
(not s upplied) if your device als o has sound.

SCART

SCART is a good quality connection. The SCART connection

can be used for CVBS and RGB video signals but cannot be
used for High Definition (HD) TV signals. The SCART
connection combines video and audio signals.

Use the supplied SCART adapter cable to connect your
device.

Audio Out - Optical

Audio Out - Optical is a high quality sound connection. This

optical connection can carry 5.1 audio channels. If your audio
device, typically a Home Theatre System (HTS), has no HDMI
ARC connection, you can connect this sound cable to an
Audio In - Optical connection on the HTS. This Audio cable
will send the sound of the TV to the HTS.

You can set the type of the audio out signal to fit the audio
capabilities of your Home Theatre System.
In Help, press * List and look up Audio Out settings for
more information.

If the sound does not match the video on screen, you can
adjust the audio to video synchronization.
In Help, press * List and look up Audio to video sync for
more information.

IR Sensor

The remote control of the TV uses RF (radio frequency) to
send its commands to the TV. With RF, you do not need to
point the remote control at the TV.

However, the TV can also receive commands from a remote
control that uses IR (infrared) to send commands. If you use
such a remote control, always make sure you point the remote
control at the infrared sensor on the front of the TV.

Pairing

This remote control uses radio frequency (RF) to send its
commands to the TV. Contrary to remote controls using
infrared signals, with this remote control you can send
commands without pointing at the TV.

With no need to point the remote control, using the keyboard
on the back or sending com m ands from another room ­changing the volume or switching channels - is easy.
Additionally, the TV can notify you when the battery power of
the remote control is low.

Pairing the remote control

For the re m ote control to communicate with the T V, both TV
and remote control should be paired with each other. Once
paired, you cannot use the remote control to control another
TV.
When you started the initial TV installation, the TV invited you
to press the OK key, and by doing so, the pairing was done.
When you switch off the TV, the pairing is stored. You can pair
up to 5 remote controls with this TV.

46 Satellite channels / Satellite installation

Unicable setup

You can use a Unicable system to connect the antenna dish to
the TV.
A Unicable system uses one cable to connect the satellite dish
to all satellite receivers in its system. Unicable 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.

User band number

In a Unicable system, each connected satellite receiver 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 its built-in satellite receiver. A satellite
receiver cannot have the same user band number as another
satellite receiver 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 us er band
number. These frequencies are mostly shown next to the user
band number on a Unicable switchbox.

Troubleshooting

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 s atellite on s creen. With the first satellite s et 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

• All settings, satellites and channels are only stored at the end

of the ins tallation when you finish.

All satellite channels are gone.

• If you use a Unicable system, make sure you assigned a

unique user band number to the satellite receiver in the
Unicable settings. It might be that another satellite receiver is
using the same user band number.

Some satellite channels seem to have disappeared from the
channel list.

Satellite channels / Satellite installation 49

If some channels seem to be gone or displaced, the
broadcaster might have changed the transponder location of
these channels. To restore the channel positions in the
channel list, you can try an update of the channel package.

I cannot remove a satellite

• Subscription packages do not allow removing a satellite. To

remove the s atellite, you have to do a complete installation
again and select another package.

Sometimes the reception is poor

• Check if the satellite dish is solidly mounted. Strong winds

can move the dish.

• Snow and rain can degrade the reception.
