How to connect several external devices to Philips TV?

The most complete connection available on your TV is the HDMI connection. This connection accepts high definition (HD) signals from external devices, such as a digital Set Top Box, a DVD-player or a game console such as the PS3.

NOTE: The HDMI connection only supports the LPCM (Linear Pulse Code Modulation) and AC3 (Dolby Digital) audio formats. The DTS (Digital Theater Systems) audio format is not supported via HDMI.

• If you want to connect more than one of this kind of external devices, the YPbPr (also called component or YUV) connection is a good choice. Use the component video adaptor cable (supplied) and audio cable (not supplied) to connect your external device to the TV.

• The next best option is the CVBS connection, which enable you to connect devices that are not equipped with a HDMI or YPbPr connection, such as a video camera or photo camera. Use the supplied CVBS and audio adapter cable to connect your external device to the ‘AV IN 1/Video’ connector on your TV. If you want to connect more than one CVBS device to the TV, you may use the ‘AV IN 2/YPbPr’ connection.

After connecting several devices, press the [Source] button on the remote control. Use the cursor [Up] or [Down] to select the TV connection you have used to connect your devices and press the [OK] button in order to watch their programme.

Alternatively, you may add the new device(s) to the home menu and select the device via the home menu. If a device is no longer connected to the TV, you can remove it from the home menu.

If the source is HDMI, the TV will automatically switch to the source input.

• Connect an audio device (home cinema set, amplifier) to the 'CVBS/SPDIF OUT' (CVBS/SPDIF OUT) connection at the rear bottom of the TV to hear the sound of the TV through your audio system. Use the supplied CVBS/SPDIF adaptor cable to connect the SPDIF OUT (orange connector) from the TV to your audio system.

Your TV DOES NOT have an analogue audio out (red and white) cinch connection. In order to connect the 'CVBS/SPDIF OUT' (CVBS/SPDIF OUT) from the TV to an analogue stereo system, you will need a Digital-to-analog converter (DAC or D-to-A). Make sure that the convertor supports the conversion of both LPCM (Linear Pulse Code Modulation) and AC3 (Dolby Digital) audio format. If you are unsure whether or not a particular converter is suitable, ask your retailer.

NOTE: This TV does not support the DTS (Digital Theater Systems) audio format. Therefore, the DTS audio signal will not pass through the ‘HDMI 1’ (HDMI Audio Return Channel) or the 'CVBS/SPDIF OUT' (CVBS/SPDIF OUT) connection.

• Connect headphones to the rear bottom ‘Headphone’ connector. The TV loudspeakers will be muted automatically. Adjust the headphones volume using the volume button on the remote control.

Connect a USB memory device to the side USB connector.

• Your TV supports playback of multimedia files in JPEG (Photos), MP3 (Music) and Video files. Only FAT or FAT 32 USB storage devices are supported.
• Portable hard discs are only supported as a mass storage device without any multimedia capabilities.
• If your portable hard disc comes with multimedia capabilities, you have to connect your hard disc as a standard peripheral device.
