TV

About cables

Cable quality

Before you connect devices to the TV, check
the available connectors on the device.

Connect the device to the TV with the
highest quality connection available. Good
quality connectors transfer picture and

sound better.
The connections shown in this user manual
are recommendations only. Other solutions
are possible. For more examples, visit

http://www.connectivityguide.philips.com

Tip:

If your device has only composite or

RCA connectors, use a composite (CVBS)

cable to connect the device to the CVBS/Y
connector on the TV.

HDMI

An HDMI connection has the best picture
and sound quality.



An HDMI cable combines video and
audio signals. Connect HDMI for high-
definition (HD) TV signals, and to

switch on EasyLink.



An HDMI Audio Return Channel
(ARC) connector allows output of TV
audio to an HDMI ARC compliant

device.



Connect HDMI cables shorter than 5
meters/16.4 feet.

HDMI

Y Pb Pr

Component video (Y Pb Pr) only transmits
video. For sound, also connect to Audio
Left/Right.



The Y Pb Pr connection can handle
high-definition (HD) TV signals.



Match the Y Pb Pr connector colors to
the cable plugs.
