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
HDMI connections provide the best picture and
sound quality. HDMI cables combine video and audio
signals. Use an HDMI cable for high-definition (HD)
and TV signals. For best signal quality, use a high-
speed HDMI cable, and do not use HDMI cables
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 turned 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 Theater System (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 turn off ARC on the HDMI
connections, press and select Setup and press OK.
Select TV settings > Sound > Advanced > HDMI ARC.
Video-Audio LR
CVBS - Composite Video is a high quality
connection. Next to the CVBS signal, add the Audio
Left and Right signals for sound.
