5.2 Cables and connections
Cable quality
Before you connect devices to the TV, check which connectors
are available on the device. Connect the device to the TV with
the highest quality connection available. Good quality cables
ensure a good transfer of picture and sound. Read the other
chapters of Cables and connections.
The connections diagrams shown in Help > Connections >
Connect devices are recommendations. Other solutions are
possible.
Visit the Philips support webpages - www.philips.com/support -
and start the Connectivity guide for TV. The guide can help you
to connect the devices you have at home.
HDMI
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) TV signals. An HDMI cable
transfers picture and sound signals in only one direction (except
for the HDMI ARC). 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. Read more about
EasyLink in Help > Basics > Remote control > Operate devices.
HDMI ARC connection
Connect a Home Theatre System to the HDMI ARC connection.
With HDMI ARC, the extra audio cable from the TV to the HTS
is not necessary. With one HDMI cable connected to HDMI
ARC (Audio Return Channel) both cables are combined.
Switch off HDMI ARC
In case you would like to switch off the audio return signal on
the HDMI ARC connection, press
h > Setup > TV settings >
EasyLink > HDMI 1 ARC, select Off and press OK.
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 3.5 mm) to Audio In DVI/VGA for sound,
on the back of the TV.
Copy protection
DVI and HDMI cables support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital
Contents 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).
Y Pb Pr
Use the Component Video YPbPr connection together with an
Audio Left and Right connection for sound.
Match the YPbPr connector colours with the cable plugs when
you connect. YPbPr can handle High Definition (HD) TV signals.
SCART
A SCART cable combines video and audio signals. SCART
connectors can handle RGB video signals but cannot handle High
Definition (HD) TV signals.
Use the included Scart adapter to connect a Scart cable.
