Multi room

What is Multi room ?

With Multi room you can wirelessly send -stream- digital TV channels from another Philips TV to this TV. You can stream any digital TV channel from the other TV, also channels from a subscription smart card. If you can watch the digital channel on the other TV, you can watch it on this one. If you don't have an antenna connection in the room where this TV is, you can use Multi room to watch the digital channels the other TV has to offer.

If the type number of both TVs, end with an eight e.g. (the screen size) PFLxxx8, you can switch on the other TV if it's in standby with this TV. Also, recordings made with the other TV and stored on its connected HDD can be watched on this TV.

Streaming a TV channel with Multi room will reduce the resolution from HD to SD.

You cannot stream radio channels (audio only).

What you need

To stream and watch TV channels from another Philips TV, the other TV needs to serve as a TV channel source. Both TVs must be connected to your wireless home network.

In Help, read the chapter Network in Setting up to connect this TV to your home network.

If the other Philips TV has a model number that ends with a seven, e.g. (the screen size) PFLxxx7 and it has the latest software, you're all set.

On the other TV, read the Help chapter on Software update to update its TV software.

Switch on from standby

If the type number of both TVs, end with an eight e.g. (the screen size) PFLxxx8, you can switch on the other TV from standby with this TV. Make sure you switch on the setting Switch on with Wi-Fi on the other TV.
