Note:The Cinema Link functionality is only available with devices of the Cinema Link (P50.3) generation !
Recommended:
Do not use the AC outlet at the back of the audio receiver to power the DVD or the video recorder in a Home Cinema configuration.
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.
