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 connection on the TV have HDMI ARC (Audio
Return Channel). If the device, typically a Home
Theatre System (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 .
Scart
SCART is a good quality connection. The SCART
connection can be used for CVBS and RGB video
signals but cannot be used for High Definition (HD) TV
signals. The SCART connection combines video and
audio signals.
Use the SCART adapter cable to connect your device.
