5.2 Cables and connections

Cable quality

Before you connect devices to the TV, check which connectors are available on the device. Connect the device to the TV with the highest quality connection available. Good quality cables ensure a good transfer of picture and sound. Read the other chapters of Cables and connections .

The connections diagrams shown in Help > Connections > Connect devices are recommendations. Other solutions are possible.

Visit the Philips support webpages - www.philips.com/support - and start the Connectivity guide for TV. The guide can help you to connect the devices you have at home.

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. An HDMI cable transfers picture and sound signals in only one direction (except for the HDMI ARC). 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. Read more about EasyLink in Help > Basics > Remote control > Operate devices.

HDMI ARC connection

Connect a Home Theatre System to the HDMI ARC connection. With HDMI ARC, the extra audio cable from the TV to the HTS is not necessary. With one HDMI cable connected to HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) both cables are combined.

Switch off HDMI ARC

In case you would like to switch off the audio return signal on the HDMI ARC connection, press h > Setup > TV settings > EasyLink > HDMI 1 ARC, select Off and press OK.

DVI to HDMI

Use a DVI to HDMI adapter if your device only has a DVI connection. Use one of the HDMI connections and add an Audio L/R cable (mini-jack 3.5 mm) to Audio In DVI/VGA for sound, on the back of the TV.

Copy protection

DVI and HDMI cables support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection). HDCP is a copy protection signal that prevents copying content from a DVD disc or Blu-ray Disc. Also referred to as DRM (Digital Rights Management).

Y Pb Pr

Use the Component Video YPbPr connection together with an Audio Left and Right connection for sound.

Match the YPbPr connector colours with the cable plugs when you connect. YPbPr can handle High Definition (HD) TV signals.

SCART

A SCART cable combines video and audio signals. SCART connectors can handle RGB video signals but cannot handle High Definition (HD) TV signals.

Use the included Scart adapter to connect a Scart cable.
