Dutch company Philips is one of the most popular TV manufacturers. Consumers quite often give preference to this brand, because its equipment is associated with reliability and durability. Refer to the Philips Smart TV manual for a step-by-step connection procedure. However, few users know how to download programs, update the operating system.

The instructions for the Philips TV cover the main functionality devices. Some owners of such equipment do not fully understand why certain functions are needed, so they do not use them. Now we will carefully analyze the functionality, and also consider how to prepare the TV for viewing.

The Smart TV platform on Philips has long become commonplace. Absolutely all manufacturers are trying to implement "smart" functionality, since users prefer this particular technique. TV from Philips operate under the operating systems webOS and Android, depending on which model is in question. These are multifunctional "OSes" that allow you to use traditional analog broadcast sources, local media servers and streaming television.

Key features of Philips Smart TVs:

Internet surfing;
Installation and use of applications, programs, widgets, add-ons;
Watching video content online;
Access to Google services and services;
Communication through communication applications: Skype, WhatsApp, Viber;

Synchronization with a smartphone, laptop, tablet, PC via Wi-Fi.

In the process of using Philips Smart TV, you will not have any difficulties. Intuitively simple interface operating system together with the presence of a recommendation system will help the user quickly figure out how to activate all the functions.

Let's look at a few of the most important functions, which are often used by absolutely all Smart TV owners from Philips. The SimplyShare option is a way to sync your TV and computer, laptop, tablet, smartphone. Connection is via Wi-Fi. Once the devices are paired, you can play video content, play songs, or open any other files stored on the connected device.

What is the likelihood of problems with reading rare formats? This is the main advantage of Philips TVs. Thanks to the implementation of SongBird technology, TV independently searches the Internet and installs the missing codecs. Therefore, problems with the reproduction of content will not arise.

Control is another very interesting feature that deserves special attention. The presence of this option allows you to control the TV from a smartphone, laptop or tablet. This is very useful opportunity especially if the remote control is out of order. You just need to install the application My Remote.

Installing the appropriate application allows you not only to switch the channel, but also to carry out a full TV setup. Install the program on your smartphone My Remote to experience all the benefits.

Owners of a Philips Smart TV will be able to watch not only TV channels, but also movies, shows, series and other content on the web. To do this, you need to use the Net TV function. This is a proprietary browser with which you can access YouTube, Zoomby, Tunin, Vimeo, etc.

Video game fans will appreciate the FunSpot option. Here are collected a variety of flash-games. Users don't have to configure Net TV and FunSpot as they are ready to use by default.

Quite a lot is displayed in the Net TV browser useful information: last news, currency quotes, weather forecast, traffic jams.

USB recording is another simple but very useful feature that absolutely all Smart TV owners use. For example, if you do not have time for the start of the match of your favorite football club, then you can burn it to a USB flash drive or external hard drive, and then watch it from the very beginning. Connect the media to the TV, and then activate the recording option.

Connection order

Each user will be able to connect the Philips TV to the Internet. Of course, you can insert an Ethernet cable into the LAN connector to achieve top speed and stable connection. However, this is not the most practical option. It's wiser to turn on Wi-Fi to set up wireless connection to your home network.

How to connect TV to the World Wide Web? To access the Internet, follow a simple step-by-step instruction:

Make sure your Wi-Fi router is turned on and working properly.
To quickly connect to the Internet without entering a login and password, open "Network connection settings", select Wifi, and then open the list of available networks.
Connect to your home network, at this point on the router, press the WPS button to avoid entering a login and password.
In the menu that appears on the TV screen, select "Easy Access" and then click on "OK".
If the router does not have a WPS button, then you will have to use the remote control to enter your login and password to connect to your home wireless network.

How to use the Internet on a Philips TV if a cable connection is used? There is nothing complicated about this either. It is enough to act in accordance with this algorithm:

Plug the Ethernet cable into the TV port labeled LAN.
On some models, the desired jack is labeled Network.
The other end of the cable can be connected to the router (yellow port).
Press the house icon on the TV remote control.
Go to section "Settings", select "Wired and Wireless Networks".
Select a connection type. In our case - "Wired".
Click on the button "Connecting to the network".
Choosing again "Wired".
Click on "To complete".
The TV is connected to the Internet via cable.

When the connection is completed, an agreement will appear on the TV screen, which the user must read and agree to.

User registration in Philips club

To fully enjoy your Philips Smart TV, you need to register with the club. The window for creating a new account appears after connecting the device to the Internet. To register a new account, follow these simple instructions:

In the proposed menu, you need to select the command "Create Now".
Fill in the required fields with your personal information and then click on "Create an account".
Select "Login to My Philips". Enter your club name and access code, then select "Register Product".

This completes the registration. On the Philips TV absolutely all services will work correctly. Be sure to register with the club to avoid software failures during further operation.

Channel setup

The manufacturer has done everything in its power to simplify the setup process as much as possible. Therefore, even users who have never used Smart TV before should not have any particular difficulties.

Before setting up channels on a Philips Smart TV, experts strongly recommend updating the software. Installing the latest firmware version will prevent errors and software failures when using the TV in the future. A little later we will return to this issue and consider how to update the software.

Smart TV is already set up on your Philips TV, which means it's time to start searching for TV channels:

Take the remote control and press the button with the icon "House".
Go to section "Configuration".
Activate the team "Search for channels".
After that you need to choose "Reinstall channels".
Select the state in which you live.
If your country is not in the list, you can choose another.
Select the signal source, for example, "Cable" or "Satellite".
The command will appear in the window that opens. "Start Channel Search", select "Settings".
Manually searching for channels is inconvenient and long, so choose "Auto search".
Switch to tab "Quick Scan".

If you plan to set up digital TV from a conventional antenna, then you need to move the slider "On" in the appropriate position opposite the column "Digital TV channels". Make sure the antenna is connected to the TV correctly and the coaxial cable is not damaged. When all settings are set, click on the button "Ready". The automatic channel search will start.

On average, the process of automatically searching for TV channels takes no more than 10 minutes.

If you do not plan to connect an antenna or cable TV from the appropriate provider, then immediately after connecting the TV to the Internet, you need to use Net TV to play the content online.

Online Applications

Smart TV on Philips gives you the flexibility to choose different apps. Therefore, the user will be able to download and install all kinds of programs, ranging from browsers to social networking applications. The TV is fully customizable to the user's preferences.

Select from the main menu "App Store".
Enter the name of the program you want to download in the search bar.
Install the app on your TV.
Ready. You can use the program at any time.

What are the most popular applications used on Smart TV TV? To answer this question, let's look at a few specific examples. Many users download and install the program Stream Interactive. This software is designed to watch movies, TV shows and other video content online. To get quick access to Yandex services, many install the application of the same name on their TV.

Applications "VideoMore" and "Ivi" will be useful. Their library contains a huge number of music videos, films, series, as well as children's cartoons.

Software update instructions

How to update the software on the TV? It should be noted that there are two ways to install the update package - via the Internet or from external media. Let's consider both options. To install the latest firmware via the Internet, you need to follow a simple instruction:

Open Smart TV and go to the section "Settings".
Use the team "Update Software".
Select "Search for Updates".
Choose as a source "Internet".
When updates are found, click on
After the files are downloaded, the operating system will prompt you to start the update, click "OK".
When the software is updated, the TV will automatically reboot to optimize workflows.

All program changes are automatically accepted. Additional user intervention in this process is not required. The main thing is not to turn off the TV during the installation of updates. Therefore, if you use a timer for automatic shutdown or sleep mode, then deactivate these options before installing a new firmware version. In the menu, you can configure the automatic installation of updates.

Instructions for installing updates for Philips TV from a USB drive:

Note.

Read the article for instructions and tips on how to connect your Philips TV to a laptop, wi-fi, smartphones and any other device.

Having bought it, I want to try it in action. Initially, we connect an antenna to it in order to set up the display of TV channels. There shouldn't be any problems with this case. As a last resort, you can read our separate article on setting up digital TV. But modern LCD TVs are designed not only for showing TV! How to connect other devices? Let's find out.

Now even the cheapest TVs have a fairly large number of connectors. This means that you can connect a camcorder, DVD player, game console and many other devices to them. Also, every Philips TV has at least one USB port. An external drive is connected to it, which, probably, makes no sense to talk about in all the details. But how to deal with connecting a laptop? Or how to provide the TV with access to the Internet, which is required for the operation of Smart TV? And in favor of which connector should you choose when connecting a home theater? All these issues require detailed coverage.

Headphone connection

The easiest way to connect headphones to any TV. If they are wired, then the 3.5 mm "jack" only needs to be inserted into the appropriate socket. As for wireless models, they come in two varieties. The first category includes headphones for the TV, which transmit a signal using their own radio frequency. These products come with a special base, also called a docking station. It has a wire that connects to a 3.5mm audio jack. Also, the base must be connected to the mains. It is this docking station that transmits a signal through the air, which is already picked up by the headphones themselves. Such a device can be connected to absolutely any Philips TV - as long as it has a 3.5 mm headphone jack.

Everything is much more complicated with the second type of headphones, to which Bluetooth models belong. It all depends on the capabilities of the TV. Even if you found in technical specifications the mention of the presence of a built-in Bluetooth module does not mean anything. It is possible that it is only used to connect a wireless mouse and a special remote control. Therefore, at first it is better to read reviews on your own TV or ask a question about compatibility with Bluetooth headphones on the official website of the manufacturer.

If you know for sure that you can connect such headphones, then all that remains is to go to the TV menu and find the settings section. You should be interested in the “Bluetooth” subsection, where you can scan the surrounding space for wireless devices and connect them. In general, the pairing process is no different from how this business is implemented on smartphones.

Almost any Philips LCD TV can play movies stored on a USB flash drive or external hard drive. And some models have support for DLNA technology, thereby being able to play content from a computer or drive connected to the router. And we must not forget about Smart TV - support for this technology allows you to watch movies online without even downloading them. What to do if the quality of the picture suits you, but you want to output the sound to the soundbar or speakers? Do modern TVs have such an opportunity? Of course, this is quite possible to do. The creators of TVs most often do not assume that you will absolutely always use the built-in speakers. So, how do you connect a home theater system to a Philips TV?

On the back of the device you will find enough a large number of connectors. The following jacks are used for sound output:

The optical output is the ideal option, which involves the use of a fiber optic cable that is protected from electromagnetic interference. Audio can be output from this jack in multi-channel mode.
Coaxial output (S / PDIF) - also allows you to output multi-channel audio. It is output in digital form - its conversion to analog form occurs already on the side of the speakers or sound bar. Unfortunately, the cable used will most likely not be as shielded as possible from electromagnetic interference. However, the vast majority of users do not notice this.
RCA - red and white sockets for traditional "tulips", above which is the inscription "OUT". Only stereo sound is transmitted through them, but in analog form. In this regard, absolutely all speakers, even the cheapest ones, have corresponding inputs.
SCART - analog stereo sound is also transmitted through this connector. Additionally, you will need an adapter and an RCA cable.
The 3.5mm audio jack is the worst option, usually used only because there are no other audio output jacks. To use this connector, you will need a 3.5mm-RCA cable. Of course, it will not work to output sound in 5.1 or 7.1 format in this way.

Connecting a set-top box or game console

Some people who are tech-savvy are thinking about getting a Philips TV. Note that this should only be done if the TV itself does not support digital TV display. If he understands, then insert the terrestrial antenna cable into the TV - it will accurately recognize all available channels.

If it is necessary to connect a set-top box, then this is usually done using an HDMI cable. One of its ends is inserted into the purchased device, and the other - into the TV. Next, using the "Input" button on the remote control, you need to go to the active HDMI input (do not forget to turn on the set-top box before that). That's all, you will immediately see the image coming to the HDMI connector. Further configuration of the set-top box is carried out using the remote control that was supplied with it.

If your TV does not currently have a free HDMI socket, then a splitter can solve the problem. This is a small box-separator, which can be bought for 500-700 rubles.

Also, a TV set-top box can be connected using traditional "tulips". But in this case, you should not hope for high image quality. Also, it is through the “component” that old game consoles are usually connected - Dendy, SEGA, PS One or even PS2. If we talk about new game consoles, starting with the PlayStation 3, then an HDMI cable is already used to connect them.

Internet connection

Modern Philips LCD TVs may support . This suggests that through such a device you can watch content located in the vastness of the global web. However, for this you need to provide the TV with Internet access, for which the following methods are used:

Wired connection - when the TV and router are connected network cable;
Wireless connection - when Internet traffic is transmitted over a Wi-Fi network.

So, how to connect the Internet to a Philips TV in one way or another? Let's start with the classic wired version, since it is through the cable that the most high-speed data reception is most often possible. This is important in cases where the video looks very high quality.

Instruction

First of all, the owner of the TV needs to get a network cable. You can buy it at any store that sells computer goods. One end of the wire must be inserted into the LAN connector located on the back of the TV, and the other end into the same port on the router (usually it is colored yellow). It is not recommended to connect the Internet cable directly, bypassing the router - the TV may simply not understand the type of connection used by your operator.

Now you need to set up Smart TV so that the operating system recognizes the Internet connection. To do this, press the "Home" button (on remote controls from Philips, it usually looks like a wooden house). Go to the "Settings" section.

In the window that opens, select the "Install" item, and then click on "Connect to the network." You will now be asked to agree to the offer by clicking the "Connect" button.

You will be taken to a completely new settings window. Here you need to select the "Wire" item. This completes the setup process - it is possible that the system will only ask you to press the "OK" button.

If you are thinking about how to connect Wi-Fi to a Philips TV, then instead of the “Wire” item, you must select the “Wireless” item. After that, the setup process will not end, because the TV cannot connect to absolutely any Wi-Fi network surrounding it.

Determining specifically your home Wi-Fi network is possible in two ways. The first is to press the WPS button. After that, the corresponding button must be pressed on the router. As a result, the two devices will automatically connect, nothing more is required from you. If there is no WPS key on the router (many budget models are deprived of it), then click on the "Scan" button. This will cause the TV to scan the surrounding area for Wi-Fi networks, displaying a list of them on the screen. After that, you just have to click on the name of your network, and then enter the password. Your next steps are to press the "Finish" and "Next" buttons, after which you can enjoy Internet access.

Please note that after connecting to the global web, the TV may ask you to update the firmware. Be sure to do this, as the developers could introduce some new features into their software. Also keep in mind that older Philips LCD TVs may not have built-in Wi-Fi. They require an external adapter, the name of which should be found in the instruction manual.

Connecting a smartphone or tablet

So, we will assume that the TV is connected to the network. But now the user notices that the bundled remote control is not the best way to control the Smart TV function. It's like you switched from a touch-screen "android" to some push-button Nokia N95 - it seems to be also a smartphone, but the choice of any menu item takes much longer. How can you make your life easier? You can buy a special remote control with a trackball or a gyroscope. But this is too expensive, so many people are thinking about how to connect a phone to a Philips TV. In fact, there is nothing complicated in this.

The only condition for a successful connection is that the smartphone and TV are on the same Wi-Fi network. If the mobile device is currently transmitting data via 3G or LTE, then forcibly activate the Wi-Fi module by clicking on the corresponding icon in the notification panel.

What else is required to connect a smartphone or tablet? Of course the official mobile app. It should be the Philips TV Remote program. You can download it not only from Google Play - there is a separate version for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Be sure to install this application on your smartphone, and then launch it.

Please note that for Philips TVs released in 2013, a different program is needed - it is called MyRemote. Unfortunately, it can only be found in the AppStore, while the Android version will have to be found on w3bsit3-dns.com or some other sites.

As for the use of the application, then in this regard you will not expect any difficulties. First of all, the program will scan the Wi-Fi network for the presence of a Philips TV on it. Next, you just need to press your finger on its name. This application turns a smartphone into an analogue of the remote control. The only difference is that the program is much more convenient to use - the choice of many functions is much faster. Also, this application allows you to play on the TV those media files that are stored in the smartphone's memory. Finally, the phone makes it easy to enter text, which is required when typing passwords or anywhere else.

What else can you connect your Philips TV to?

Perhaps, with the connection of other devices, you can figure it out without any hint. For example, an external hard drive or flash drive is connected to a USB port - there is nothing complicated about it. The system will immediately prompt you to automatically go to the contents of the drive. If this does not happen, then using the "Input" button, go to the "channel" called "USB". Or "USB 1" if there are several such connectors. The exact steps depend on the implementation of the specific TV.

As for camcorders, Blu-ray players and other similar devices, they are connected strictly to the HDMI input. Finding the desired "channel" is carried out, again, by pressing the "Input" button. You can connect a laptop to a Philips TV in the same way - an HDMI connector is now present on almost any laptop.

If you want the picture to be displayed only on the TV, then on the computer you need to go to the "Control Panel". Here you need to go to the "Hardware and Sound" section. Depending on the specific version of the operating system, here you need to look for an item that is responsible for the method of displaying an image on two screens. Usually it is enough to press the "Turn off the display" button and select the "Only" item. Of course, the image will return to the laptop screen when you disconnect the HDMI cable.

If you have a lot of different devices that you would like to connect to your TV, then buy yourself an AV receiver. It will greatly simplify this matter by offering a huge number of connectors, allowing you to forget about splitters.

Conclusion

Now you know how to connect your Philips TV to various gadgets, as well as to the Internet. Finally, we will give you a little advice. If the purchased TV supports DLNA technology, then connect an external hard drive to the router. In this case, the TV will definitely recognize the media files contained on the external drive. Plus, you can view them on your smartphone, tablet or computer.

Hello! I got a Philips TV, which has a Smart TV system built on Android TV. And in this article, I'll show you how to connect your Philips Android TV to a Wi-Fi network to access the Internet, watch online movies, YouTube videos and watch movies from your computer. There are a lot of opportunities for a TV on Android TV. We will definitely consider everything in separate articles. Well, first, you need to connect the TV to the Internet, and preferably without wires - via Wi-Fi. Without an Internet connection, most of the functions of such a TV are simply not available. You basically bought TVs with Smart TV for what to watch online movies, install some applications and games, have access to different movies and photos that are on your computer, etc.

When I chose a TV, I immediately looked towards LG with Web OS (which we connected to the Internet in the article). But, it so happened that I bought a Philips 43PUS7150/12 (2015 model). Now we will connect it to the Internet. If you have a different model, then it's okay, almost everything is the same there.

Of course, you must have a Wi-Fi network configured. That is, the router that distributes it. Well, the Internet via Wi-Fi should work. And the TV must be within range of your home Wi-Fi network. Also, the TV must have a built-in Wi-Fi receiver. Or, a proprietary, external adapter PTA128/00 is connected.

Connecting Philips (Android TV) to Wi-Fi

If during setup (when first turned on) If you are not connected to the Internet, then this can be done from the Android TV settings themselves. Turn on the TV, and press the button on the remote control with the image of the house.

Scroll to the very bottom of the menu, there will be settings. Select wired and wireless networks.

Choose an item Wired or WiFi, and press the right arrow on the remote control.

Choose an item Network connection.

Please note that Philips TV can be connected to Wi-Fi without entering a password, but through WPS, or WPS with pin code.

It works like this: select the WPS item, and activate the WPS function on the router with a special button, which is usually located on the device case. The TV will connect to the router. By selecting the WPS item with a pin code, you will need to specify the pin code set on your router. If you have not changed it, then it can be indicated on a sticker on the bottom of the router.

Select a Wi-Fi network to connect to.

Using the keyboard on the screen or on the remote, enter the password to connect to your wireless network, and press the green button (on screen keyboard) to continue.

The TV will connect to the network. Click To complete.

That's all, you can use Android TV. Open in the TV browser:

In the future, the TV will automatically connect to this Wi-Fi network.

If your Philips TV does not connect to Wi-Fi

First of all, try restarting your router. (simply unplug and power on).

Also, be sure to make sure that you enter the correct password to connect to the wireless network. If you forgot your password, you can try. If you enter the password incorrectly, then at first the inscription will "hang" for a very long time Connection...

And then, most likely, the inscription will appear Can't find network.

What else you can try to do: change the password to a new one of 8 digits, reset the router settings, and configure it again. If the TV does not want to connect to a wireless network in any way, then you can try connecting it to another network, if possible.

Advanced wireless network settings

After selecting the wired and wireless network settings in Android system TV, you can also set static data (IP address, DNS) to connect to the network. Just go to the tab Network configuration, and choose Static IP address. And then, on the tab Setting a static IP address set the required parameters.

But, it is better not to climb into these settings unnecessarily. If it doesn't connect, then set DHCP back. This is the automatic acquisition of an IP address from the router.

You can also view the parameters of the network to which you are currently connected. To do this, select the tab in the settings View network settings.

Also, you can completely turn off Wi-Fi on the Philips TV, and turn it back on. For this, there is an item WiFi on/off.

Wireless internet is stable. When you turn on the TV, the network is automatically connected. I think you did the same thing, and everything works.
