2.4 MHL (Mobile High-Definition
Link) introduction
What is it?
Mobile High Definition Link (MHL) is a mobile
audio/video interface for directly connecting
mobile phones and other portable devices to
high-definition displays.
An optional MHL cable allows you to simply
connect your MHL capable mobile device to
this large Philips MHL display, and watch your
HD videos come to life with full digital sound.
Now not only you can enjoy your mobile games,
photos, movies, or other apps on its big screen,
you can simultaneously charge your mobile
device so you never run out of power half way.
How do I use the MHL function?
To use the MHL function, you need an MHL-
Certified mobile device. To find a list of MHL-
certified devices, visit the official MHL website
(http://www.mhlconsortium.org)
You also need a optional MHL certified special
cable in order to use this function.
How does it work? (how do I connect?)
Connect the Optional MHL cable to the mini
USB port on the mobile device side, and the
[MHL-HDMI] marked port on the Display side.
You are now ready to view the images on your
big screen display and operate all function on
you the mobile device such as internet surfing,
game playing, photo browsing...etc. if your
Display has speaker function, then you will be
able to hear accompanying sound too. When
the MHL cable is disconnected or the mobile
device is turned off, the MHL function will be
automatically disabled.
Note
•
The port marked [MHL-HDMI] is the only
port on the Display that supports the MHL
function when the MHL cable is used. Note
that the MHL certified cable is different
than a standard HDMI cable.
•
A mobile device with MHL certification
must be purchased separately
•
You may have to manually switch the
Display to MHL-HDMI mode in order
to activate the Display, if you have other
devices already working and connected to
available inputs
•

not ap plicable for the MHL charging
functionality

However, in case your MHL device does
not connect or work correctly, check with
your MHL device FAQ or vendor directly
for direction. The policy of your device
manufacturer may require you to purchase
their brand specific MHL cable or adapter
in order to work with other brand MHL
devices. Note that this is not a fault of this
Philips display.
