Use Philips EasyLink
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
Philips does not guarantee 10 0%  
•interoperability with all HDMI CEC devices.
HDMI-CEC functionality is known by other  
•names on other brands. Some examples are 
Anynet (Samsung), Aquos Link (Sharp) or 
BR AVIA Sync (Sony). Not all brands are fully 
compatible with Philips EasyLink .
EasyLink features
One-touch play 
When you play content from a HDMI-CEC 
compliant device, the T V switches on from 
standby, and switches to the correct source.
One-touch standby
When you connect your T V to a HDMI-
CEC compliant device, pressing 
 on the 
T V remote control switches the T V and all 
connected HDMI devices to standby mode.
System audio control
When you connect your T V to, for example, 
a HDMI-CEC compliant home theater system 
(HTS), your T V speakers automatically mute 
and audio from the T V plays through the HTS.

speakers’ on page 38 ).

HDMI-CEC compliant devices using your T V 
remote contro l (see ‘Enable or disable remote 
control key for warding’ on page 38 ).
