TV Stand

You can find the instructions for mounting the TV stand in the Quick Start Guide that came with the TV. In case you lost this guide, you can download it from www.philips.com/TVsupport. Use the model number of the TV to look for the Quick Start Guide to download.

Wall Mounting

Your TV is also prepared for a VESA-compliant wall mount bracket (sold separately). Use the following VESA code when purchasing the wall mount . . .

• 55OLED873
  VESA MIS-F 300×300, M6 (Minimum 12 mm, Maximum 16 mm)
• 65OLED873
  VESA MIS-F 300×300, M6 (Minimum 10 mm, Maximum 14 mm)

Preparation

First remove the 4 plastic screw caps from the threaded bushes on the back of the TV. Make sure that the metal screws are used to mount the TV to the VESA-compliant bracket, go about 10mm deep inside the threaded bushes of the TV.

Caution

Mounting the TV requires special skills and should only be performed by qualified personnel. The TV wall mounting should meet safety standards according to the TV’s weight. Also, read the safety precautions before positioning the TV. TP Vision Europe B.V. bears no responsibility for improper mounting or any mounting that results in accident or injury.

Connections

Connectivity guide

Always connect a device to the TV with the highest quality connection available. Also, use good-quality cables to ensure a good transfer of the picture and sound. When you connect a device, the TV recognises its type and gives each device a correct type name. You can change the type name if you wish. If a correct type name for a device is set, the TV automatically switches to the ideal TV settings when you switch to this device in the Sources menu.

Antenna

Insert the antenna plug firmly into the Antenna socket at the back of the TV. You can connect your own antenna or an antenna signal from an antenna distribution system. Use an IEC Coax 75 Ohm RF antenna connector. Use this antenna connection for DVB-T and DVB-C input signals.

Next to the Y, Pb and Pr signals add the Audio Left and Right signals for sound. Match the YPbPr (green, blue, red) connector colours with the cable plugs when you connect. Use an Audio L/R cinch cable if your device also has sound.
