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.

HDMI cables support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital
Content Protection). HDCP is a copy protection signal
that prevents copying content from a DVD disc or Blu­ray Disc. Also referred to as DRM (Digital Rights
Management).

HDMI ARC

Typically a Home Theatre System (HTS) has an HDMI
ARC connection, connect it to HDMI 2, HDMI 3,
or HDMI4 on this TV. With an HDMI ARC connection,
you do not need to connect an 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 of HDMI 2, HDMI 3,
or HDMI4 connection on this TV to connect the HTS,
but ARC is only available for 1 device/connection at a
time.

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.

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 TV signal.

For best signal quality transfer, use a High speed
HDMI cable and do not use an HDMI cable longer
than 5 m.

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 2.0 (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.

HDMI CEC - EasyLink

EasyLink

An HDMI connection has the best picture and sound

DVI to HDMI

If you still own a device that only has a DVI
connection, you can connect the device to any of
the HDMI connection with a DVI to HDMI adapter.

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.

Only devices that support EasyLink Remote
Control function will respond to the TV remote

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).

Y Pb Pr - Component

Y Pb Pr - Component Video 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.

Receiver - Set-Top Box

Cable Box

Use 2 antenna cables to connect the antenna to the
Set-top box (a digital receiver) and the TV.

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 Theatre 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.

You can set the type of the audio out signal to fit the
audio capabilities of your Home Theatre System.
For more information, in Help, press the colour
key  Keywords and look up Audio Out Settings.

If the sound does not match the video on screen, you
can adjust the audio to video synchronisation.

Audio to video synchronisation (sync)

Home Theatre System - HTS

Connect with HDMI ARC

Use an HDMI cable to connect a Home Theatre
System (HTS) to the TV. You can connect a Philips
Soundbar or an HTS with a built-in disc player.

HDMI ARC

If your Home Theatre System has an HDMI ARC
connection, you can use any HDMI connection on the
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 Theatre System, the TV can
only send the ARC signal to this HDMI connection.

Audio to video synchronisation (sync)

If the sound does not match the video on screen, you
can set a delay on most Home Theatre Systems with
a disc player to match the sound with the video.

For more information, in Help, press the colour
key  Keywords and look up Audio to Video

TV, the picture on TV and the sound from the HTS
should be synchronised.

Automatic audio to video sync

With recent Philips Home Theatre Systems, the audio
to video sync is done automatically and always
correct.

Audio sync delay

For some Home Theatre Systems you might need to
adjust the audio sync delay to synchronise the audio
to the video. On the HTS, increase the delay value
until there is a match between picture and sound. A
delay value of 180ms may be required. Read the user

send the sound of the TV picture to the Home Theatre
System.

If you cannot set a delay on the Home Theatre
System, you can set the TV to sync the sound. You
can set an offset that compensates for the time
necessary for the Home Theatre System to process
the sound of the TV picture. You can set the value in

Pairing the Remote Control

This remote control uses radio frequency (RF) to send
its commands to the TV. Contrary to remote controls
using infrared signals, you don't have to point at the
TV with RF. For the remote control to communicate
with the TV, both TV and remote control should be
paired (linked) with each other. Once paired, you
cannot use the remote control to control another TV.

Pairing

When you started the initial TV installation, the TV
invited you to press the OK key, and by doing so,
the pairing was done. If the TV does not react on any
remote control key press, pairing was unsuccessful.

Pair again

If the pairing with the remote control was lost, you
can pair the TV with the remote control again.

The remote control of the TV uses BT (bluetooth) to
send its commands to the TV. With BT, 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.

6.6

Batteries

If the TV does not react on a key press on the remote
control, the batteries might be empty.

To replace the batteries, open the battery
compartment on the keyboard side of the remote
control.

1 - Slide the battery door in the direction shown by
the arrow.
2 - Replace the old batteries with 2
type AAA-R03-1.5V batteries. Make sure the + and
the - ends of the batteries line up correctly.
3 - Reposition the battery door and slide it back until
it clicks.

Remove the batteries if you are not using the remote
control for a long time.
Safely dispose of your old batteries according to the
end of use directions.

For more information, in Help, press the colour
key  Keywords and look up End of use.

6.7

Cleaning

Your remote control is treated with a scratch-resistant
coating.

To clean the remote control, use a soft damp cloth.
Never use substances such as alcohol, chemicals or
household cleaners on the remote control.
