About cables

Cable quality
Before you connect devices to the TV, check
the available connectors on the device.
Connect the device to the TV with the
highest quality connection available. Good
quality connectors transfer picture and
sound better.
The connections shown in this user manual
are recommendations only. Other solutions
are possible. For more examples, visit
http://www.connectivityguide.philips.com.
Tip: If your device has only composite or
RCA connectors, use a composite (CVBS)
cable to connect the device to the CVBS/Y
connector on the TV.
HDMI
An HDMI connection has the best picture
and sound quality.

An HDMI cable combines video and
audio signals. Connect HDMI for
high-definition (HD) TV signals and to
switch on EasyLink.

An HDMI Audio Return Channel
(ARC) connector allows output of TV
audio to an HDMI ARC compliant
device.

Connect HDMI cables shorter than 5
meters/16.4 feet.
Y Pb Pr
Component video (Y Pb Pr) only transmits
video. For sound, also connect to Audio
Left/Right.

The Y Pb Pr connection can handle
high-definition (HD) TV signals.

Match the Y Pb Pr connector colours
to the cable plugs.
SCART
A SCART connection combines video and
audio signals.
SCART connectors can handle RGB video
signals but cannot handle high-definition
(HD) TV signals.
