Tips on connections

Connectivity guide

Always connect a device to the TV with the highest quality connection available. Also, use good quality cables to ensure a good transfer of picture and sound.

If you need help to connect several devices to the TV, you can visit the Philips TV connectivity guide. The guide offers information on how to connect and which cables to use.

Go to www.connectivityguide.philips.com

Antenna

If you have a Set-top box (a digital receiver) or Recorder, connect the antenna cables to run the antenna signal through the Set-top box and/or Recorder first before it enters the TV. In this way, the antenna and the Set-top box can send possible additional channels to the Recorder to record.

HDMI

An HDMI connection has the best picture and sound quality. One HDMI cable combines video and audio signals. Use an HDMI cable for High Definition (HD) TV signals. For best signal quality transfer, do not use an HDMI cable longer than 5 m.

EasyLink HDMI CEC

If your devices are connected with HDMI and have EasyLink, you can operate them with the TV remote control. EasyLink HDMI CEC must be switched on on the TV and the connected device.

In Help, press *List and look up EasyLink HDMI CEC for more information on using EasyLink.

HDMI ARC

All of the HDMI connections on the TV have ARC (Audio Return Channel).

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.
