Use Philips EasyLink

Your TV supports Philips EasyLink, which enables one-touch play and one-touch standby between EasyLink-compliant devices. Compliant devices must be connected via an HDMI connector.

One-touch play

When you connect your TV to devices that support one-touch play, you can control your TV and the devices with one remote control. For example, when you press ►(play) on your DVD remote control, your TV automatically switches to the correct channel to show the DVD content.

One-touch standby

When you connect your TV to devices that support standby, you can use your TV remote control to put your TV and all connected HDMI devices in standby mode.You can perform one-touch standby using the remote control from any of the connected HDMI devices.

System audio control

When you connect your TV to HDMI CEC compliant devices, your TV can switch automatically to play audio from the connected device. To use one-touch audio, you must map the audio input from the connected device to your TV.

You can use the remote control from the connected device to adjust the volume.

Remote control (RC) key forwarding

RC key forwarding allows you to control EasyLink-compliant devices using your TV remote control.

Audio Return Channel (ARC)

HDMI ARC allows you to use Philips EasyLink to output TV audio directly to a connected audio device, without the need for an additional digital audio cable. HDMI ARC supports more digital audio formats than S/PDIF. Be sure that the device is HDMI-CEC and ARC compliant, and that the TV is connected to the device using an HDMI cable attached to HDMI ARC connectors.
