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.

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
HDMI CEC
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, use a High
speed HDMI cable and 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.
For more information on using EasyLink, press
Keywords and look up EasyLink CEC.
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 3.5mm) to
AUDIO IN for sound, on the back of the TV.
Copy protection
DVI and HDMI cables support HDCP (High-bandwidth
Digital Content 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).
HDMI ARC
All of the HDMI connections on the TV have HDMI
ARC (Audio Return Channel).
If the device, typically a Home Theatre Sysytem
(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 and select Setup and press OK.
Select TV settings > Sound > Advanced > HDMI ARC.
Y Pb Pr - Audio L R
Y Pb Pr - Component Video is a high quality
connection. The YPbPr connection can be used for
High Definition (HD) TV signals. Next to the Y, Pb and
Pr signals add the Audio Left and Right signals for
sound.
• Y shares the same jack with CVBS.
• Component and Composite share audio jacks.
