Safety
Precautions
Read and understand all instructions before you use your TV. If damage is caused by failure to follow the 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 spilled on or into the TV, disconnect the TV from the power outlet immediately. Contact Philips Consumer Care to have the TV checked before use.
Never place the TV, remote control or
batteries near naked flames or other heat sources, including direct sunlight. To prevent the spread of fire, keep candles or other flames away from the TV, remote control and batteries at all times.
Never insert objects into the ventilation
slots or other openings on the TV.
Never expose the remote control or
batteries to rain, water or excessive heat.
Avoid force coming onto power plugs.
Ensure that the power plug is fully inserted into the power socket. Loose power plugs can cause arcing or fire.
When the TV is swivelled, ensure that
no strain is exerted on the power cord. Strain on the power cord can loosen connections and cause arcing.
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.
Risk of damage to the TV!
Two people are required to lift and
carry a TV that weighs more than 25kg or 55lbs.
When stand mounting the TV, use only
the supplied stand. Secure the stand to the TV tightly. Place the TV on a flat, level surface that can support the combined weight of the TV and the stand.
When wall mounting the TV, use only a
wall mount that can support the weight of the TV. Secure the wall mount to a wall that can support the combined weight of the TV and wall mount. TP Vision Netherlands B.V. bears no responsibility for improper wall mounting that result in accident, injury or damage.
If you need to store the TV,
disassemble the stand from the TV. Never lay the TV on its back with the stand installed.
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.
Parts of this product may be made of
glass. Handle with care to avoid injury and damage.

Risk of injury to children! Follow these precautions to prevent the TV
from toppling over and causing injury to children:
Never place the TV on a surface
covered by a cloth or other material that can be pulled away.
Ensure that no part of the TV hangs
over the edge of the surface.
Never place the TV on tall furniture,
such as a bookcase, without anchoring both the furniture and TV to the wall or a suitable support.
Educate children about the dangers of
climbing on furniture to reach the TV.
Risk of swallowing batteries!
The product/remote control may
contain a coin-type battery, which can be swallowed. Keep the battery out of reach of children at all times!
Risk of overheating!
Never install the TV in a confined
space. Always leave a space of at least 4 inches or 10 cm around the TV for ventilation. Ensure that curtains or other objects never cover the ventilation slots on the TV.
Risk of injury, fire or power cord damage!
Never place the TV or any objects on
the power cord.
Disconnect the TV from the socket and
aerial before lightning storms. During lightning storms, never touch any part of the TV, power cord or aerial 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 matches room temperature before connecting the TV to the power outlet.
3D health warning
For 3D TVs only.
If you or your family have a history of
epilepsy or photosensitive seizures, consult a medical professional before exposing yourself to flashing light sources, rapid image sequences or 3D viewing.
To avoid discomfort such as dizziness,
headache or disorientation, we recommend not watching 3D for extended periods of time. If you experience any discomfort, stop watching 3D and do not immediately engage in any potentially hazardous activity (for example driving a car) until your symptoms have disappeared. If symptoms persist, do not resume watching 3D without consulting a medical professional first.
Parents should monitor their children
during 3D viewing and ensure they do not experience any discomfort as mentioned above. Watching 3D is not recommended for children under six years of age as their visual system is not fully developed yet.
Do not use the 3D glasses for any
purpose other than watching this 3D TV.
When viewing 3D content with active
3D glasses under fluorescent or LED lighting, you may notice flickering being emitted from the lights. If flickering occurs, switch off the lights.

Care
Screen
Risk of damage to the TV screen!
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 soon 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.
3D glasses
For sets with 3D glasses supplied.
Follow these instructions to take care of your glasses:
Use a clean soft cloth (microfibre or
cotton flannel) to clean the lenses to avoid scratching them. Never spray cleaner directly on the 3D glasses. You can use pre-moistened cleaning cloths from most well-known lens manufacturers of sunglasses.
Do not expose the 3D glasses to direct
sunlight, heat, fire or water. This may result in a product malfunction or fire.
Do not drop, bend or apply force to
the lenses of the 3D glasses.
Do not use cleaning chemicals
containing alcohol, solvent, surfactant, or wax, benzene, thinner, mosquito repellent or lubricant. Using these chemicals can cause discolouration or cracks.
CHOKING HAZARD - Keep the
product out of reach of children under three years of age at all times! The product contains small parts which can be swallowed.

shine directly on the screen.
The ideal viewing distance of this TV is
three times its diagonal screen size. For example, if the diagonal screen size of the TV is 81 cm / 32", the ideal viewing distance is ~2.5 m / ~92" from the front of the screen.

Note: The applications, functions, content and onscreen messages depend on the CAM service provider.
What you need
Caution: To protect the CAM from damage,
insert the CAM as instructed. Note: Refer to the documentation from
your service operator on how to insert a smart card into the Conditional Access Module.
1. Switch off the TV.
2. Follow the directions printed on the CAM
to insert the CAM into the Common Interface slot at the side of the TV. Push the CAM in as far as it will go.
3. Switch on the TV, then wait for the CAM
to be activated. This takes a few minutes. To maintain access to encrypted digital TV channels, leave the CAM in the slot.
Access CAM services
1. After you insert and activate the CAM, press OPTIONS.
2. Select [Common interface], then press OK.
3. Select the CAM provider, then press OK.

6 Troubleshooting
General issues
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.
When you are turning the TV on, off or to standby, you hear a creaking sound from the TV chassis:
No action is required. 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.
The TV does not respond to remote control or TV controls when switched on:
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, view the remote control sensor through a digital camera – if you press any button on the remote control and notice red flickering at the sensor, the remote control is working but the TV may need to be checked by Philips Consumer Care. This troubleshooting procedure is not applicable to remote controls that are paired wirelessly with the TV.
When the TV is in standby, a start-up splash 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 on the remote control or press any key on the TV.
The standby light on the TV blinks red: Disconnect the power cable from the power
outlet. Wait until the TV cools down before you reconnect the power cable. If the blinking reoccurs, contact Philips Consumer Care.
The TV audio is in the wrong language: If you select audio language via
OPTIONS, the TV resets to the default
language when you change channels or switch off the TV. To retain the selected language, change your audio language by pressing , then selecting [Setup] >
[Channel settings] or [Satellite settings] > [Languages] > [Primary audio language] or [Secondary audio language].
The TV or Smart TV menu is in the wrong language:
Change the menu to your preferred language. For more information, see Change your TV
settings > Language settings > Menu language (Page 33).
You forgot the 4-digit code to unlock the channel blocking feature (child lock):
Enter ‘8888’.
You want to upgrade your TV software: Visit www.philips.com/support and download the latest software package for your TV. Software installation instructions and release notes indicating what's been updated are also available at the site. Full instructions on how to upgrade your TV
software are also available at Change your TV settings > Update software (Page 35).

Channel issues
You want to install TV channels: See Change your TV settings > Automatic installation (Page 30) for instructions on
installing analogue or digital channels. If you want to install satellite TV channels, see Change your TV settings > Satellite settings
(Page 32).
No digital channels were found during the installation:
See the technical specifications to make
sure that your TV supports DVB-T, DVB-C or DVB-S in your country.
Make sure that all cables are properly
connected and that the correct network is selected.
Previously installed channels do not appear in the channel list:
Make sure that the correct channel list is selected.
You want to rearrange or reorder the channel list:
After channels have been installed, they appear in the channel list. For information about managing channel lists, including rearranging channels, see Watch TV >
Manage channel lists (Page 13).
Picture issues
The TV is on, but there is no picture or the picture is distorted:
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.
There is sound but no picture: Make sure that the picture settings are set
correctly.
There is poor TV reception from an antenna connection:
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.
There is poor picture quality from connected devices:
Make sure that the devices are
connected properly.
Make sure that the picture settings are
set correctly.
The TV did not save your picture settings: Make sure that the TV location is set to
Home. You can change and save settings in this mode.
The picture does not fit the screen; it is too big or too small:
Change to a different picture format.
The picture format keeps changing with different channels:
Instead of the picture format [Auto zoom], select a different picture format.
The picture position is incorrect: Picture signals from some devices may not fit
the screen correctly. Check the signal output of the device.
The picture from broadcasts is scrambled: You may need a Conditional Access Module
to access content. Check with your service operator.
An "e-sticker" banner displaying information appears on the TV display:
The TV is in [Shop] mode. To remove the e-sticker, set the TV to [Home] mode, then restart the TV. See Change your TV settings > Other settings > Home mode (Page 35).
Page 52
EN 52
The computer display on the TV is not stable:
Make sure that your PC uses the
supported resolution and refresh rate. See Specifications > Display
resolutions (Page 54).
Change the TV picture format to
[Unscaled].
Sound issues
There is a picture but sound quality is poor:
If no audio signal is detected, the TV automatically switches the audio output off — this does not indicate malfunction.
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 speaker setting
is selected. Press OPTIONS, select [Picture and sound] > [Speakers], then select [TV].
Make sure that the TV audio output is
connected to the audio input on the HDMI-CEC enabled or EasyLink compliant home theatre device. Sound should be heard from the home theatre 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.
There is a picture but the sound quality is poor:
Make sure that the sound settings are correctly set.
Connection issues
There are problems with HDMI devices:
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 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 L/R or AUDIO IN (mini-jack only).
You cannot use EasyLink features: Make sure that your HDMI devices are
HDMI-CEC compatible. EasyLink features only work with devices that are HDMI-CEC compatible.
If an HDMI-CEC compliant audio device is connected to the TV and the TV does not display any mute or volume icon when the volume is muted, increased or decreased:
When a HDMI-CEC audio device is connected this behaviour is normal.
USB device content is not displayed:
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.
Audio and picture files on your USB storage device do not play or display smoothly:
The transfer performance of the USB storage device may limit the data transfer rate to the TV which causes poor playback.
