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.
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. In Help, press the colour key
Keywords and look up HDMI Ultra HD.
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.
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 Sysytem
(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 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 High Definition (HD) or
Ultra HD (UHD) TV signals.
For best signal quality transfer, use a High speed
HDMI cable and do not use an HDMI cable longer
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 (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.

CAM with Smart Card - CI+
15
CI+
This TV is ready for the CI+ Conditional Access.
With CI+ you can watch premium HD programmes,
like movies and sports, offered by digital TV operators
in your region. These programmes are scrambled by
the TV operator and descrambled with a prepaid CI+
module.
Digital TV operators provide a CI+ module
(Conditional Access Module - CAM) and an
accompanying smart card, when you subscribe to
their premium programmes. These programmes have
a high level of copy protection.
Contact a digital TV operator for more information on
terms & conditions.
Two Smart Cards
Some Digital TV operators can provide a second CI+
module (CAM) and smart card. A second CAM and
smart card is needed when you want to watch one
channel while recording another channel from the
same TV operator.
If you can watch the same amount of channels with
each card, both cards have identical viewing rights. If
you can watch less channels with one of the cards,
the cards have non-identical viewing rights.
If your smart cards have identical viewing rights, it
does not matter which card you put in which slot. If
one of the cards has more viewing rights than the
other one, insert the card with the most viewing rights
in the slot COMMON INTERFACE 1. Insert the card
with less rights in COMMON INTERFACE 2.
Insert the smart cards into the CAM modules. See the
instruction you received from the operator.
One Smart Card
Digital TV operators provide a CI+ module
(Conditional Access Module - CAM) and an
accompanying smart card, when you subscribe to

Insert the smart card into the CAM module. See the
instruction you received from the operator.
To insert the CAM in the TV…
1 - Look on the CAM for the correct method of
insertion. Incorrect insertion can damage the CAM
and TV.
2 - While looking at the back of the TV, with the front
of the CAM facing towards you, gently insert the CAM
into the slot COMMON INTERFACE 1.

What You Need
You can connect a wireless device with Bluetooth® to

bar or headphones. You can also connect a wireless
gamepad with Bluetooth LE.
For more information on how to select the wireless
speaker, press the colour key Keywords and look

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.
For more information on how to pair a wireless
speaker, press the colour key Keywords and look
