Displaying a laptop or other video device

  1. Connect one of the video cables (VGA or HDMI) from the cable bundle to the corresponding port on your laptop/device.

    • For audio with VGA, plug the 3.5mm audio cable into the headphone/audio output port on your laptop/device.

  2. Press the Power button on the Philips HDTV remote control to activate the display.

    • Note that the infrared (IR) receiver for the HDTV remote is on the right side of the TV, so the remote will need to be aimed at that receiver in order to function.  The IR receiver will glow Green when the TV is ON, and Yellow when it is in standby mode.

  3. Press the Source button on the Philips remote and then use the directional pad arrows and OK button to select the source that you have the laptop plugged into - either VGA or HDMI.

    • The active source will be highlighted in Blue on the selection menu.

  4. Audio level can be adjusted using the Volume buttons on the Philips remote control.

  5. When you are finished using the equipment, please press the Power button to shut down the display.
