You can copy channel lists from one Philips 
TV to another through a USB storage

TV. The channel list file is small enough to fit 
on any USB storage device. 
What you need 
The two Philips TVs must have: 
 the same country setting, 
 the same year range,  
 the same DVB type, as indicated by the 
suffix (H, K, T, or D/00) in the model 
name, 
 the same settings for satellite channels, 
including the number of LNB satellites 
 the same hardware type, as indicated 
by the sticker on the back of the TV, 
(for example Qxxx.xx.Lx), and 
 compatible software versions. 
An onscreen message will notify you if the 
channel list cannot be copied to the second 
TV. 
Note: If you are prompted to enter a code, 
enter 8888.

the available connectors on the device.

highest quality connection available. Good 
quality cables ensure a good transfer of 
picture and sound.

(ARC) connector allows output of TV 
audio to an HDMI ARC compliant 
device. 
 Do not use an HDMI cable longer than 
5 meters / 16.4 feet.
