Wireless LAN ready 
This section is only for wireless ready TVs. 
With the Wireless USB adapter PTA01 
accessory (sold separately), you can connect 
the TV to your home network wirelessly. 
You can enjoy the best of the web from Net 
TV services, and sharing of content between 
your devices connected to the home 
network using Wi-Fi MediaConnect or 
DLNA, seamlessly and hassle free. 
Note: 
 The wireless network operates in the 
same 2.4GHz frequency spectrum as 
common household devices, such as 
Dect phones, microwave ovens or 
Bluetooth devices, which can cause Wi-
Fi interferences. Move these devices 
away from the TV with the connected 
Wireless USB adapter. 
    You should turn off any unused 
network equipment in the home 
network as this increases network 
traffic.  
 Reception quality is dependent on the 
location of the wireless router, as well 
as the quality of services provided by 
the local Internet Service Provider. 
 When playing video over your wireless 
home network, we recommend that 
you use an IEEE 802.11 N router.  The 
connection speed may differ according 
to the operating environment of your 
wireless home network.   
Make your TV wireless 
1. Switch on your wireless network router. 
2. Insert the USB adapter PTA01 into the 
USB connection at the side of the TV. The 
wireless installation starts automatically. 
3. Follow the on screen instructions. 
WPS - Wi-Fi Protected Setup 
If your router supports WPS (Wi-Fi 
Protected Setup), press the WPS button on 
the router. Return to the TV in 2 minutes, select [WPS] and press OK. The TV 
connects to your network. This takes about 
2 minutes. Complete the installation. 
  
Most new wireless routers have the WPS 
system and carry the WPS logo. The WPS 
system uses WPA security encryption and 
cannot be combined with devices on your 
network that use the WEP security 
encryption. If you still need this WEP device in your network, install with [Scan] > 
[Custom]. 
Scan for routers 
If you have several routers in your network, 
you can select the network you need. To 
select a specific network router, press [Scan]on the first page of the installation.  
The routers with WPS and the strongest 
signal are shown first in the list on screen.   
Select the router you need. If you are connecting a WPS router, select [WPS] on 
the TV. 
 If you have set the PIN code in your router software, select [WPS pincode:] 
and enter the code.  
 To enter the encryption key manually, select [Custom] and enter the key. 
PIN code 
To set the secured connection with a PIN code, select the PIN code and press OK. 
Write down the 8 digit PIN code shown on 
the TV and enter it in the router software 
on your PC. See the router manual for 
where to enter the PIN code.   
Custom 
To enter the encryption key (the security key) manually, select [Custom] and press 
OK. If you have WPA security on your 
router, enter the passphrase with the 
remote control.  
To access the on-screen keyboard, select the text entry field and press OK. If you have 
WEP security encryption, the TV asks for the 
WEP encryption key in hexadecimal 
numbers.  
 
						

							     
EN      53   
English
 
  
Find this hexadecimal key in the router 
software on your PC. Write down the first 
key of the WEP keys list and enter it on the 
TV with the remote control. If the security 
key is accepted, the TV is connected with 
the wireless router.  
If asked, agree to the End User License 
Agreement. 
If you are using the Wireless USB adapter, 
keep it connected to the USB connector on 
the TV.

 6 Troubleshooting 
Contact Philips 
 
Warning: Do not attempt to repair the TV 
yourself. This may cause severe injury, 
irreparable damage to your TV or void 
your warranty. 
If you cannot resolve your problem, refer to 
the frequently asked questions (FAQs) for this TV at www.philips.com/support. 
You can also contact Philips Consumer Care 
in your country for support. You can find the 
contact number in the leaflet that 
accompanies the TV. 
Take a note of your TV model and serial 
number before you contact Philips. These 
numbers are printed on the back of the TV 
and on the packaging. 
  
General TV 
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. 
 Make sure that the power switch at the 
base or back of the TV is switched on. 
The TV does not respond to remote 
control or front controls when switched 
on 
The TV requires some time to start up. 
During this time, the TV does not respond 
to the remote control or front controls. This 
is normal behavior.   
The standby light on the TV blinks red: 
Disconnect the power cable from the power 
outlet. Wait until the TV cools down before 
you reconnect the power cable. If the 
blinking reoccurs, contact Philips Consumer 
Care. 
You forgot the code to unlock the child 
lock feature: 
Enter ‘8888’. 
 
The TV menu is in the wrong language: 
Change the TV menu to your preferred 
language.   For more information, see Set up your TV > 
Menu language (Page 37).    
When you are turning the TV on, off or to 
standby, you hear a creaking sound from 
the TV chassis: 
No action is required. 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. 
When the TV is in standby, a startup splash 
screen is displayed, then returns to standby 
mode: 
This is normal behavior. 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  
on the remote control or press any key on 
the front of the TV.   
TV channel 
Previously installed channels do not appear 
in the channel list: 
Make sure that the correct channel list is 
selected. 
No digital channels were found during the 
installation: 
 Make sure that the TV supports DVB-T, 
DVB-C or DVB-S in your country. 
 Make sure that the antenna is properly 
connected and the correct network is 
selected.    
Picture 
The TV is on, but there is no picture or the 
picture is distorted:

 Make sure that the correct device is 
selected as the display source. 
 Make sure that the external device or 
source is properly connected. 
There is sound but no picture: 
Make sure that the picture settings are set 
correctly.   
There is poor TV reception from an 
antenna connection: 
 Make sure that the antenna is properly 
connected to the TV. 
 Loud speakers, unearthed audio 
devices, neon lights, high buildings and 
other large objects can influence 
reception quality. If possible, try to 
improve the reception quality by 
changing the antenna direction or 
moving devices away from the TV. 
 If reception on only one channel is 
poor, fine-tune this channel.   
There is poor picture quality from 
connected devices: 
 Make sure that the devices are 
connected properly. 
 Make sure that the picture settings are 
set correctly.  
The TV did not save your picture settings: 
Make sure that the TV location is set to Home. You can change and save settings in 
this mode.   
The picture does not fit the screen; it is 
too big or too small: 
Try a different picture format. 
 
The picture position is incorrect: 
Picture signals from some devices may not fit 
the screen correctly. Check the signal output 
of the device. 
The picture from broadcasts is scrambled: 
You may need a Conditional Access Module 
to access content. Check with your service 
operator. 
  
An e-sticker banner displaying 
information appears on the TV display: 
The TV is in [Shop] mode. To remove the

supported resolution and refresh rate. See Product specifications > Display 
resolutions (Page 58). 
 Set the TV picture format to [Unscaled].  
Sound 
There is a picture but sound quality is 
poor: 
If no audio signal is detected, the TV 
automatically switches the audio output off 
— this does not indicate malfunction. 
 Make sure that all cables are properly 
connected. 
 Make sure that the volume is not 
muted or set to zero.  
 Make sure that the TV speakers setting is selected. Press  ADJUST, select 
[Speakers], and then select TV.   
 Make sure that the TV audio output is 
connected to the audio input on the 
HDMI-CEC enabled or EasyLink 
compliant home theatre device. Sound

 HDMI 
There are problems with HDMI devices: 
 Note that HDCP (High-bandwidth 
Digital Content Protection) support can 
delay the time taken for a TV to display 
content from a 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. 
 If there are intermittent sound 
disruptions, make sure that output 
settings from the HDMI device are 
correct. 
 If you use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter or 
HDMI to DVI cable, make sure that an 
additional audio cable is connected to 
AUDIO L/R or AUDIO IN (mini-jack 
only).    
You cannot use EasyLink features: 
Make sure that your HDMI devices are 
HDMI-CEC compatible. EasyLink features 
only work with devices that are HDMI-CEC 
compatible. 
If an HDMI-CEC compliant audio device is 
connected to the TV and the TV does not 
display any mute or volume icon when the 
volume is muted, increased or decreased. 
This behaviour is normal when an HDMI-
CEC audio device is connected.  
USB 
USB device content is not displayed: 
 Make sure that the USB storage device is set to Mass Storage Class compliant, 
as described in the storage devices 
documentation. 
 Make sure that the USB storage device 
is compatible with the TV. 
 Make sure that the audio and picture 
file formats are supported by the TV. 
  
Audio and picture files do not play or 
display smoothly: 
The transfer performance of the USB 
storage device may limit the data transfer 
rate to the TV which causes poor playback.  
Network 
Net TV does not work 
If the connection to the router is properly 
set up, check the router connection to the 
Internet. 
Browse PC or Net TV access is slow. 
Refer to your routers user manual for 
information on transfer rate and other 
factors of signal quality. 
You need a high-speed Internet connection 
for your router.

not disturbed by microwave ovens, 
DECT phones or other neighbouring 
Wi-Fi devices.
