Satellite receiver

Connect the dish antenna cable to the Satellite receiver.

Next to the antenna connection, add an HDMI cable to connect the device to the TV. Alternatively, you can use a SCART cable if the device has no HDMI connection.

Switch off timer

Deactivate the Switch off timer, if you only use the remote control of the Satellite receiver. Do this to prevent the TV to switch off automatically after a 4 hour period without a key press on the remote control of the TV.

To deactivate, press hand select S Setup and press OK. Select TV settings > General settings > Switch off timer and set the slider bar to 0.

Home Theatre System (HTS)

Connect

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.

Alternatively, you can use a SCART cable if the device has no HDMI connection.

HDMI ARC

If your Home Theatre System has an HDMI ARC connection, you can use any HDMI connection on the TV to connect. All HDMI connections on the TV can offer the Audio Return Channel (ARC) signal. But once you connected the Home Theatre System, the TV can only send the ARC signal to this HDMI connection.

With HDMI ARC, you do not need to connect the extra audio cable. The HDMI ARC connection combines both signals.

If the Home Theatre System has no HDMI ARC connection, add an optical audio cable to send the sound of the TV picture to the Home Theatre System.

Audio to video synchronisation (sync)

If the sound does not match the video on screen, you can set a delay on most DVD Home Theatre Systems to match the sound and video. A mismatch can be visible in scenes with people talking. When they finish sentences before their lips stop moving.

In Help, press L List and look up Audio to video sync for more information.

Audio to video sync

With a Home Theatre System (HTS) connected to the TV, the picture on TV and the sound from the HTS should be synchronised. A mismatch can be visible in scenes with people talking - when they finish sentences before their lips stop moving or just the opposite.

Automatic audio to video sync

With recent Philips Home Theatre Systems, the audio to video sync is automatically synchronised 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 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 manual of the HTS.

With a delay value set up on the HTS, you need to switch off Audio Out delay on the TV. To switch off Audio Out delay, press hand select S Setup and press OK.
