Connecting External Equipment With A Composite Av Video Cable; Connecting External Equipment With An Hdmi Cable - Philips 42PFL4765/F8 User Manual

Connecting external equipment with a composite
AV video cable
If the best connection available on your device is AV or composite video output, connect it to the TV
using a composite AV cable (not provided). Composite AV cables typically have three RCA‐type plugs on
each end, color coded as follows:

Yellow – Video

Red – Audio, right channel

White or black – Audio, left channel
Connect each plug to the corresponding connector on the device and on the TV.
Note: Select models have an AV Input that looks like a headphone jack. Use the breakout cable (included)
to adapt this input to the three RCA‐type plugs on your composite cable.
Connecting external equipment with an HDMI
cable
If possible, connect your devices using HDMI
quality and also carry audio signals, so that only one cable is needed. For better picture quality, we
recommend that you use cables designated as High Speed HDMI

The connector labeled HDMI (ARC) has the additional ability to use the audio return channel to send
digital audio to a receiver or soundbar, as explained in Connecting an AV receiver or digital soundbar.
Only on select models: The connector labeled HDMI (eARC) provides the same functionality as the HDMI
ARC connector, plus the ability to pass through full‐resolution sound formats such as Dolby Atmos and
DTS:X from and to devices that support these formats, without additional processing by the TV.
