Philips EasyLink provides several features 
that enable you to control devices that are 
connected via HDMI. Connected devices must 
suppor t the HDMI-CEC standard, and must 
be properly configured for EasyLink to work.
Note

•interoperability with all HDMI CEC devices.
HDMI-CEC functionality is known by other

Configure TV speakers
You usually connect the T V to a HDMI-CEC 
compliant device such as a HTS using both 
a HDMI cable (for video) and a digital audio 
cable (for audio). You can output T V audio 
through the HDMI cable solely, provided both 
the T V and device are HDMI-ARC compliant 
(see ‘Use HDMI ARC’ on page 36 ).
