How to connect several external devices to Philips TV?

• 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.

• The Scart connection on this TV accepts RGB and CVBS signals. The RGB signals offer a higher picture quality than CVBS signals. To record what you view on the TV connect to ‘EXT1’. The recording (on an external recorder) will be in CVBS quality.

• Your TV DOES NOT have a composite video (CVBS) cinch input connection. If your device has a CVBS output, but not SCART connection, you can purchase a SCART-to-cinch cable. Insert the SCART connector into the SCART connection on your TV and connect the yellow, red and white cinch cables to the corresponding CVBS outputs of the external device.

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.

NOTE: If the source is HDMI or Scart, the TV will automatically switch to the source input.

Alternately, 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.

1. Press the [Home] button on the remote control to access the home menu.

• Connect an audio device (home cinema set, amplifier) to the ‘DIGITAL AUDIO OUT’ (coaxial) connection at the back of the TV to hear the sound of the TV through your audio system.

Your TV DOES NOT have an analogue audio out (red and white) cinch connection. In order to connect the audio out from the TV to an analogue stereo system, you will need a SCART-to-cinch cable. Insert the SCART connector into the SCART connection on your TV and connect the red and white cinch cables to the corresponding audio input on the stereo system.

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 ARC’ (HDMI Audio Return Channel) or the ‘DIGITAL AUDIO OUT’ (SPDIF) connection.

• Connect headphones to the side connector. Adjust the headphones volume using the headphones volume in the [Setup] > [TV settings] > [Sound] > [Headphone volume] and press the [Mute] button on the remote control to mute the TV loudspeaker.

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.
• 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.

If the above solution does not help, you may refer to the Philips Connectivity Guide on the Contact & support page, which will assist you in making all the necessary connections.
