Selecting your connection quality

HDMI - Highest quality

Supports high-de nition signals and gives highest picture and sound
quality. Video and audio signals are combined in one cable. You must use
HDMI for full high-de nition video and to enable Philips EasyLink.
Note
Philips HDMI supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection). HDCP is
a form of Digital Rights Management that protects high de nition content in DVD or
Blu-ray Discs.
The HDMI ARC connector on the TV features HDMI ARC functionality. This allows
output of TV audio to an HDMI ARC-compliant device.

Component (Y Pb Pr) - High quality

Component video cable (red / green / blue) and audio L/R cable (red / white).

Component cables combine a red / green / blue video cable with a
red / white audio L/R cable. Match the cable colors when you connect
to the TV.

Composite - Basic quality

Composite video / audio cable (yellow / red / white)
For analog connections. Composite cables usually combine a yellow
video cable with a red / white audio L/R cable. Match the audio cable
colors when you connect to the TV.
