24.2. Switch On
The TV does not switch on
• Disconnect the power cable from the power outlet.
Wait for one minute then reconnect it. Make sure that
the power cable is securely connected. Try switching on
again.
• Connect the TV to another wall mains socket and try
switching on.
• Disconnect all connected devices from the TV and try
switching on.
• 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.
The standby light keeps on blinking
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
If the TV switches off suddenly, the setting Switch off
timer might be switched on. With Switch off timer the
TV switches off after 4 hours if no remote control signals
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

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.
24.5. 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.

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.

and refresh rate.
24.7. Sound
No sound or poor sound quality
• Check if the sound settings of the TV are OK, press
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
24.8. 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
57
up HDMI Ultra HD.
• If there are intermittent sound disruptions, make sure
that output settings from the HDMI device are correct.

press the colour key Keywords and look
up Multimedia.
Choppy playback of USB files
• The transfer performance of the USB storage device
may limit the data transfer rate to the TV which causes
poor playback.
24.10. Wi-Fi and Internet
Wi-Fi network not found or distorted
• Check if the firewalls in your network allow access to
the TV's wireless connection.
• If the wireless network does not work properly in your
home, try the wired network installation.

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
59
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

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.
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.
25.2. Screen Care
Clean

systems, as well as progressive JPEG compression on x86
and x86-64 systems. On such systems, libjpeg-turbo is
generally 2-6x as fast as libjpeg, all else being equal. On
other types of systems, libjpeg-turbo can still outperform
libjpeg by a significant amount, by virtue of its highly-
optimized Huffman coding routines. In many cases, the
performance of libjpeg-turbo rivals that of proprietary
high-speed JPEG codecs.
