Note:
Be sure to enable pairing mode on your Android device in the beginning of set up.
Google account
Unleash your television's true potential. With a Google® account you can effortlessly expand your
entertainment library with thousands of apps available in the Google Play Store, and keep them
up-to-date. Get personalized recommendations on what to watch across your favorite streaming
services, and an even better experience with Google Assistant. While you can enjoy this Philips
Google TV™ without a Google account via the preinstalled selection of apps, we recommend utilizing
a Google account to download additional apps from the Google Play Store or to use Google Assistant.

up-to 4K content.

and your Wi-Fi router. To improve wireless performance, we recommend placing your Wi-Fi router
within 15 feet of your TV.

secured, and your data could be at risk.
