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) or Full HD (FHD) 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.
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
HDMI 1 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 HDMI 1 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.
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 1 - 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.
