Philips EasyLink and HDMI CEC Guide for 55PFL7008 and Other Models

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.

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 hand 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.

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.

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.

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.
