mobile audio/video interface for directly
connecting mobile phones and other
portable devices to high-definition
displays.
An optional MHL cable allows you
to simply connect your MHL capable
mobile device to this large Philips MHL
display, and watch your HD videos come
to life with full digital sound. Now not
only you can enjoy your mobile games,
photos, movies, or other apps on its big
screen, you can simultaneously charge
your mobile device so you never run out
of power half way.
How do I use the MHL function?
To use the MHL function, you need an
MHL-Certified mobile device. To find
a list of MHL-certified devices, visit
the official MHL website (http://www.
mhlconsortium.org)
You also need a optional MHL certified
special cable in order to use this
function.
How does it work? (how do I
connect?)
Connect the Optional MHL cable
to the mini USB port on the mobile
device side, and the [MHL-HDMI]
marked port on the Display side. You
are now ready to view the images on
your big screen display and operate
all function on you the mobile device
such as internet surfing, game playing,
photo browsing…etc. if your Display has
speaker function, then you will be able
to hear accompanying sound too. When
the MHL cable is disconnected or the
mobile device is turned off, the MHL
function will be automatically disabled.
