• If the standby light on TV is on, the TV might not
respond to the remote control.
Creaking sound at startup or switch off
When you are turning the TV on or standby, you hear a
creaking sound from the TV chassis. The creaking sound
is due to the normal expansion and contraction of the TV
as it cools and warms up. This does not affect
performance.
The TV goes back to standby after showing the Philips
startup screen
When the TV is in standby, a Philips startup screen is
displayed, then the TV returns to standby mode. This is
normal behaviour. When the TV is disconnected and
reconnected to the power supply, the startup screen is
displayed at the next startup. To switch on the TV from
standby, press (Standby / On) the remote control or
the TV.

Disconnect the power cable from the power outlet. Wait
5 minutes before you reconnect the power cable. If the
blinking reoccurs, contact Philips TV Consumer Care.
In Help > User manual, press the colour
key Keywords and look up Contact Info.
TV switches off by itself

were received. To avoid this automatic switch off, you
can deactivate this switch off. In Help > User manual,
press the colour key Keywords and look up Switch
Off Timer.
Also, if the TV does not receive a TV signal nor a remote
control command for 10 minutes, the TV switches off
automatically.
25.3. Remote Control
TV does not respond to the remote control
• The TV requires some time to start up. During this time,
the TV does not respond to the remote control or TV
controls. This is normal behaviour.
• The batteries of the remote control might be empty.
Replace the batteries with new ones.
25.4. Channels
No digital channels found during the installation
• Check if the TV was connected with an antenna or is
using a provider signal. Check the cable connections.
• Check if the country where you install the TV, has
digital channels available.
• Check if you selected the correct DVB (Digital Video
Broadcast) system. Select DVB-T (terrestrial) when you
62
use an antenna or common antenna, select DVB-C
(cable) if you use a TV cable service.
• Redo the installation and check if you select the correct
country and system.
No analogue channels found during the installation
• Check if the TV was connected with an antenna. Check
the cable connections.
• Check if you selected the correct DVB (Digital Video
Broadcast) system. Select DVB-T (terrestrial) when you
use an antenna or common antenna.
• Redo the installation and select Digital and analogue
channels during the installation.
Some channels disappeared, cannot find all or some
previously installed channels
• Check if you selected the correct Channel
list or Favourites list you normally use.
• Some channels might be moved or even deleted by the
broadcaster. In the normal channels list, try to search for
the channel you're missing. If the channel is still
available, you can put it back in the favourites list.
• A channel can be deleted from the channel list during
Automatic channel update. These automatic updates
are done overnight if the TV is on standby.
Channels that do not exist anymore are deleted and new
channels will be added to the channel list. Exceptionally,
a channel can be deleted because the TV could not find it
while checking for its presence. It might not broadcast at
night.
To avoid channels being deleted during the Automatic
channel update because the TV could not find them
although these channels are still there, you can switch
off Automatic channel update.
(Home) > Settings > Channels > Antenna/Cable
installation, Satellite installation* > Automatic channel
update
* Satellite installation is only for models which support
satellite functions.
DVB-T2 HEVC channel
• See the technical specifications to make sure that your
TV supports DVB-T2 HEVC in your country and reinstall
DVB-T channel.
25.5. Satellite
The TV cannot find the satellites I want or the TV
installs the same satellite twice
Check if the correct number of satellites is set in settings
at the start of the installation. You can set the TV to
search for One, Two or 3/4 satellites.
A dual head LNB cannot find a second satellite
• If the TV finds one satellite but cannot find a second
one, turn the dish a few degrees. Align the dish to get
the strongest signal on the first satellite. Check the signal
strength indicator of the first satellite on-screen.
• Check if the settings are set to two satellites.
Changing the installation settings did not solve my
problem
All settings, satellites and channels are only stored at the
end of the installation when you finish.
All satellite channels are gone
If you use an Unicable system, It might be that another
satellite receiver in your Unicable system is using the
same user band number.
Some satellite channels seem to have disappeared
from the channel list
If some channels seem to be gone or displaced, the
broadcaster might have changed the transponder
location of these channels. To restore the channel
positions in the channel list, you can try an update of the
channel package.
I cannot remove a satellite
Subscription packages do not allow removing a satellite.
To remove the satellite, you have to do a complete
installation again and select another package.
Sometimes the reception is poor
• Check if the satellite dish is solidly mounted. Strong
winds can move the dish.
• Snow and rain can degrade the reception.

sources menu. Press Sources and select the
source/input you need.
• Check if the external device or source is properly
connected.
• Check if the reception is poor.
• Check if the picture is set to a minimal value.
Select Picture style and select a style and press OK.

press Restore style.
63
• Reset all TV settings, go to (Home) > Settings
> General settings > Reinstall TV.
• Check the connections of the source/input devices.
Poor reception
If the TV picture is distorted or variable in quality, the
input signal might be poor. A weak digital signal is seen
as a picture that is breaking up in square blocks and
freezes occasionally. Much sooner than a bad analogue
signal, a bad digital signal will fall away.
• Check if the antenna cable is properly connected.
• Large loudspeakers, unearthed audio devices, neon
lights, high buildings and other large objects can
influence reception quality when you are using an
antenna. Try to improve the reception by changing the
antenna direction or moving devices away from the
TV. Bad weather might deteriorate the reception.
• Check if all connections, to and from your devices, are
properly connected.
• If reception on only one channel is poor, fine-tune this
channel with Analogue: manual installation. (Only for
analogue channels)
• Check if the incoming digital signal is sufficiently
strong. While watching a digital channel,
press OPTIONS and select Status and press OK. Check
the Signal strength and Signal quality.
Poor picture from a device

the volume or mute key.
• If you use a digital receiver (set-top box), check if the
volume on this receiver is not set to zero or mute.

can fix this by setting the Digital out format of the TV
to Stereo.
Press (Home) > Settings
> Sound > Advanced > Digital out format
25.8. HDMI - UHD
HDMI
• Note that HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection) support can delay the time taken for a TV to
display content from an HDMI device.
• If the TV does not recognise the HDMI device and no
picture is displayed, switch the source from one device to
another and back again.
• This is an Ultra HD TV. Some older devices - connected
with HDMI - do not recognise an Ultra HD TV
electronically and might not work correctly or show
distorted picture or sound. To avoid the malfunctioning
of such a device, you can set the signal quality to a level
the device can handle. If the device is not using Ultra HD
signals, you can switch off Ultra HD for this HDMI
connection.
If the picture and sound of a device connected with
HDMI is distorted, check if a different HDMI Ultra
HD setting can solve this problem. In Help > User
manual, press the colour key Keywords and look
64
up HDMI Ultra HD.
• If there are intermittent sound disruptions, make sure
that output settings from the HDMI device are correct.

26. Safety and Care
26.1. Safety
Important
Read and understand all safety instructions before you
use the TV. If damage is caused by failure to follow
instructions, the warranty does not apply.
Risk of Electric Shock or Fire
• Never expose the TV to rain or water. Never place liquid
containers, such as vases, near the TV.
If liquids are spilt on or into the TV, disconnect the TV
from the power outlet immediately.
Contact Philips TV Consumer Care to have the TV
checked before use.
• Never expose the TV, remote control or batteries to
excessive heat. Never place them near burning candles,
naked flames or other heat sources, including direct
sunlight.
• Never insert objects into the ventilation slots or other
openings on the TV.
• Never place heavy objects on the power cord.
• Avoid force coming onto power plugs. Loose power
plugs can cause arcing or fire. Ensure that no strain is
exerted on the power cord when you swivel the TV
screen.
• To disconnect the TV from the mains power, the power
plug of the TV must be disconnected. When
disconnecting the power, always pull the power plug,
never the cord. Ensure that you have full access to the
power plug, power cord and outlet socket at all times.
Risk of Injury or Damage to the TV
• Two people are required to lift and carry a TV that
weighs more than 25 kg or 55 lbs.
• If you mount the TV on a stand, only use the supplied
stand. Secure the stand to the TV tightly.
Place the TV on a flat, level surface that can support the
weight of the TV and the stand.
• When wall mounted, ensure that the wall mount can
safely bear the weight of the TV set. TP Vision bears no
responsibility for improper wall mounting that results in
accident, injury or damage.
• Parts of this product are made of glass. Handle with
care to avoid injury or damage.
Risk of damage to the TV !
Before you connect the TV to the power outlet, ensure
that the power voltage matches the value printed on the
back of the TV. Never connect the TV to the power outlet
if the voltage is different.
Stability Hazards
This product is designed and intended for consumers
and personal use in a domestic home environment,
unless agreed otherwise with the manufacturer in
writing. Failure to follow this recommendation or the
instructions provided in the product user manual and the
product supportive documentation can cause damage to
the product and will void the warranty for such cases.
A television set may fall, causing serious personal injury
or death. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be
avoided by taking simple precautions such as:
• ALWAYS ensure the television set is not overhanging
the edge of the supporting furniture.
• ALWAYS use cabinets or stands or mounting methods
recommended by the manufacturer of the television set.
• ALWAYS use furniture that can safely support the
television set.
• ALWAYS educate children about the dangers of
climbing on furniture to reach the television set or its
controls.
• ALWAYS route cords and cables connected to your
television so they cannot be tripped over, pulled or
grabbed.
• NEVER place a television set in an unstable location.
• NEVER place the television set on tall furniture (for
example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring
both the furniture and the television set to a suitable
support.
• NEVER place the television set on cloth or other
materials that may be located between the television set
and supporting furniture.
• NEVER place items that might tempt children to climb,
such as toys and remote controls, on the top of the
television or furniture on which the television is placed.
If the existing television set is going to be retained and
relocated, the same considerations as above should be
applied.
Risk of Batteries
• Do not ingest the battery. Chemical burn hazard.
• The remote control may contain a coin/button cell
battery. If the coin/button cell battery is swallowed, it
can cause severe internal burns in just 2 hours and can
lead to death.
• Keep new and used batteries away from children.
• If the battery compartment does not close securely,
stop using the product and keep it away from children.
• If you think batteries might have been swallowed or
placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate
medical attention.
• Risk of fire or explosion if the battery is replaced by an
66
incorrect type.
• Replacement of a battery with an incorrect type that
can defeat a safeguard (for example, in the case of some
lithium battery types).
• Disposal of a battery into fire or a hot oven, or
mechanically crushing or cutting of a battery, that can
result in an explosion.
• Leaving a battery in an extremely high temperature
surrounding environment that can result in an explosion
or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
• A battery subjected to extremely low air pressure that
may result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable
liquid or gas.
Risk of Overheating
Never install the TV in a confined space. Always leave a
space of at least 20 cm or 8 inches around the TV for
ventilation. Ensure curtains or other objects never cover
the ventilation slots on the TV.
Lightning Storms
Disconnect the TV from the power outlet and antenna
before lightning storms.
During lightning storms, never touch any part of the TV,
power cord or antenna cable.
Risk of Hearing Damage
Avoid using earphones or headphones at high volumes
or for prolonged periods of time.
Low Temperatures
If the TV is transported in temperatures below 5°C or
41°F, unpack the TV and wait until the TV temperature
reaches room temperature before connecting the TV to
the power outlet.
Humidity
In rare occasions, depending on temperature and
humidity, minor condensation can occur on the inside of
the TV glass front (on some models). To prevent this, do
not expose the TV to direct sunlight, heat or extreme
humidity. If condensation occurs, it will disappear
spontaneously while the TV is playing for a few hours.
The condensation moisture will not harm the TV or cause
malfunction.
26.2. Screen Care
Clean
• Never touch, push, rub or strike the screen with any
object.
• Unplug the TV before cleaning.
• Clean the TV and frame with a soft damp cloth and
wipe gently. Never use substances such as alcohol,
chemicals or household cleaners on the TV.
• To avoid deformations and colour fading, wipe off
water drops as quickly as possible.
• Avoid stationary images as much as possible. Stationary
images are images that remain onscreen for extended
periods of time. Stationary images include onscreen
menus, black bars, time displays, etc. If you must use
stationary images, reduce screen contrast and brightness
to avoid screen damage.
