Cinema Link is a new Philips feature in which the TV, the audio receiver and other video peripherals communicate with each other (on condition they all are equipped with the Cinema Link functionality and are connected via a eurocable).They automatically offer the highest quality combination of picture and multi channel surround sound to create your own Home Cinema.

The TV can function as the centre speaker of your system, making a separate centre speaker unnecessary.

Configuration of the Cinema Link peripherals

The connection diagram in the inside cover shows you how to connect the Cinema Link peripherals with each other.

Notes:

-Besides the TV at least one peripheral should be provided with the Cinema Link functionality to benefit from this feature.

-To take advantage of the highest quality of multi channel Surround sound it is advisable that you have a Cinema Link audio receiver connected.

-The peripherals connected don’t need to see the TV remote control in the Cinema Link system. The commands given to the TV are automatically passed to the other peripherals. This allows you to put the peripherals behind the doors of a cabinet or to place them in another room.

-To enjoy Digital Surround playback, the digital device (e.g. DVD) should be connected to the digital input of the audio receiver with a separate cinch audio cable 4. If you connect the digital audio output connector of your peripheral equipment to a digital input connector of your audio receiver 4, select the appropriate digital input (1 or 2) in your audio receiver.

Preparation and Operation

&Cinema Link is switched on as soon as the audio receiver and the TV are switched on. If necessary, Cinema Link may be switched off or on again only on the audio receiver. See the instructions for use of your audio receiver.

Important: When Cinema Link is switched on all audio commands control the audio receiver instead of the TV.

éThe message CINEMALINK ON is displayed on the audio receiver and on the TV. Now the CinemaLink system is activated.

Note: it is recommended to disable CinemaLink when the receiver is used to record a CD e.g. or when using a headphone when others are watching TV.

Now you can adjust the initial TV settings for optimal surround sound and install the audio channels before starting up one of the CinemaLink devices.The system information about country choice, menu language and picture format you set up during the installation of the TV is transferred to the audio receiver automatically.

TV as centre speaker

See the Instructions for Use of the TV, Setup, Source menu, Centre input.

Use the test tone function in the Speakers menu to have a reference of the loudness of the separate speakers.

Note: If you want the loudspeakers of your TV to act as centre speaker, also connect a cinch to scart cable (not supplied) 2 to EXT1 of your TV.

pixel plus specifications

Philips Pixel Plus is a sophisticated video enhancement technology developed by Philips that aims to significantly improve the picture quality of televisions and displays. Renowned for its ability to deliver sharper images, enhanced contrast, and vibrant colors, Pixel Plus has become a hallmark of Philips' commitment to superior display performance.

One of the main features of Pixel Plus is its unique algorithm designed to upscale lower-resolution content. This technology intelligently analyzes the incoming video signal and enhances it for display on higher-resolution screens, such as Full HD or 4K Ultra HD models. The result is a more defined image that appears clearer, even when the original resolution is much lower.

Another important characteristic of Pixel Plus is its ability to enhance color and contrast. By optimizing the brightness and the color palette of the image being displayed, the technology can make scenes appear more alive and lifelike. This is achieved through advanced processing techniques that ensure colors are not only vivid but also accurate, creating a more immersive viewing experience.

Pixel Plus also incorporates advanced noise reduction features. Television broadcasts and various video content can often contain artifacts or graininess. Philips addresses this issue by employing sophisticated algorithms to minimize noise without compromising image detail. This means that viewers can enjoy clean images, even in darker scenes or with lower quality sources.

Moreover, Pixel Plus is designed to work seamlessly across a range of media formats, from broadcast television to streaming services and gaming consoles. This versatility makes it a valuable addition to any entertainment setup, ensuring that any content displayed benefits from the enhancements offered by the technology.

In addition, Philips has integrated Pixel Plus with other proprietary technologies, such as Ambilight, which extends the color experience beyond the screen. This multi-layered approach further enhances the overall viewing experience, providing viewers with immersive cinematic effects.

Overall, Philips Pixel Plus stands out as a compelling solution for anyone seeking to elevate their viewing experience. With its ability to upscale resolution, enhance color and contrast, reduce noise, and work across various platforms, it solidifies Philips' position as a leader in display technology. For consumers looking for high-quality imagery, Pixel Plus represents an essential feature in modern televisions.
