Terms of warranty

  • Risk of injury, damage to the TV or voided warranty! Never attempt to repair the TV yourself.
  • Please only use the TV and accessories as set out by the manufacturer.
  • The caution sign printed on the back of the TV indicates the risk of electric shock. Never remove the TV cover. Please contact Philips Customer Support if repairs are needed.
  • Operations expressly prohibited in this manual, or any adjustments and assembly steps that are not recommended or authorised in this manual, are not within the scope of the warranty.

Pixel characteristics

This TV product has a high number of colour pixels. Although it has effective pixels of 99.999% or more, black dots or bright points of light (red, green or blue) may appear constantly on the screen. This is a structural property of the display (within common industry standards) and is not a malfunction. Therefore, please note this is not subjected to repair, exchange or refund within and/or out of the warranty period.

Backlight characteristics

All Philips TV have gone through stringent tests and checks before shipping to you. You can be rest assured that we place the quality of our TVs the utmost importance so that you do not suffer any viewing displeasure while watching your TV. However, please note that backlight bleeding ("Mura effect") and / or unevenness of background light that can only be observed in dark images or in a very dark and dim room are considered to be within TV specifications. Such occurrences do not represent a deterioration nor shall be regarded as a defect of the TV. Hence, we regret that claims of this nature for warranty, free of charge service, replacement or refund cannot be accepted within and/or out of the warranty period.

Safety

Risk of electric shock or fire!

  • Never expose the TV to rain or water. Never place liquid containers (such as vases) next to the TV. If liquids are spilt on or inside the TV, disconnect the TV from the power supply immediately. Contact the Philips Customer Service Centre to have the TV checked before you use it again.
  • Never place the TV, remote control or batteries near naked flames or other heat sources (including direct sunlight).

To avoid fire spreading, always keep candles or other naked flames away from the TV, remote control and batteries.

PHILIPS 32PHT5678 - Risk of electric shock or fire! - 1

  • Never insert any objects into the ventilation slots or other openings on the TV.
    • Make sure that no strain is placed on the power cable when swivelling the TV. Strain on the power cable can loosen connections and cause arcing.
  • The power plug of the TV must be disconnected to disconnect the TV from the mains supply. When you disconnect the power, always pull out the power plug, and never the cable. Ensure that the power plug, power cable and outlet socket are accessible at all times.

- The power plug is a disconnection device and should be kept so that it is easy to operate.

Risk of short circuit or fire!

  • Never expose the remote control or batteries to rain, water or excessive heat.
  • Avoid pulling the power plug. Loose power plugs can lead to arcing or fire.

Risk of injury or damage to the TV!

  • Two people are required to lift and carry a TV that weighs more than 25 kg or 55 lbs.
  • When stand mounting the TV, use only the supplied stand. Secure the stand to the TV tightly. Place the TV on a flat, level surface that can support the combined weight of the TV and the stand.

- When wall mounting the TV, use only a wall mount that can support the weight of the TV. Secure the wall mount to a wall that can support the combined weight of the TV and wall mount. TP Vision Europe B.V. bears no responsibility for improper wall mounting that results in accident, injury or damage.

- If you need to store the TV, disassemble the stand from the TV. Never lay the TV on its back with the stand installed.

- Before you connect the TV to the power outlet, ensure that the power voltage matches the value printed on the back of the TV. Never connect the TV to the power outlet if the voltage is different.

- Parts of this product may be made of glass. Handle with care to avoid injury and damage.

Stability Hazards!

A television set may fall, causing serious personal injury or death. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:

  • ALWAYS ensure the television set is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
  • ALWAYS use cabinets or stands or mounting methods recommended by the manufacturer of the television set.
    • ALWAYS use furniture that can safely support the television set.
  • ALWAYS educate children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television set or its controls.
  • ALWAYS route cords and cables connected to your television so they cannot be tripped over, pulled or grabbed.
    • NEVER place a television set in an unstable location.
  • NEVER place the television set on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the television set to a suitable support.
  • NEVER place the television set on cloth or other materials that may be located between the television set and supporting furniture.
  • NEVER place items that might tempt children to climb, such as toys and remote controls, on the top of the television or furniture on which the television is placed.

If the existing television set is going to be retained and relocated, the same considerations as above should be applied.

Risk of batteries!

  • Do not ingest the battery. Chemical burn hazard.
  • The remote control may contains a coin/button cell battery. If the coin/button cell battery is swallowed, it can cause severe internal burns in just 2 hours and can lead to death.
  • Keep new and used batteries away from children.

  • If the battery compartment does not close securely, stop using the product and keep it away from children.

  • If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical attention.
  • Risk of fire or explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
  • Replacement of a battery with an incorrect type that can defeat a safeguard (for example, in the case of some lithium battery types).
  • Disposal of a battery into fire or a hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting of a battery, that can result in an explosion.
    • Leaving a battery in an extremely high temperature surrounding environment that can result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
  • A battery subjected to extremely low air pressure that may result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.

Risk of overheating!

- Never install the TV in a confined space. Always leave a space of at least 4 inches or 10 cm around the TV for ventilation. Ensure curtains or other objects never cover the ventilation slots on the TV.

Risk of injury, fire or power cord damage!

  • Never place the TV or any objects on the power cord.
  • Disconnect the TV from the power outlet and antenna before lightning storms. During lightning storms, never touch any part of the TV, power cord or antenna cable.

Risk of hearing damage!

- Avoid using earphones or headphones at high volumes or for prolonged periods of time.

Low temperatures

- If the TV is transported in temperatures below 5°C or 41°F, unpack the TV and wait until the TV temperature matches room temperature before connecting the TV to the power outlet.

Screen care

  • Avoid static images as much as possible. Static images are images that remain onscreen for extended periods. Examples include onscreen menus, black bars and time displays. If you must use static images, reduce the screen contrast and brightness to avoid screen damage.
    • Unplug the TV before cleaning.
  • Use a soft damp cloth to wipe the TV and frame. Never use substances such as alcohol, chemical products or household cleaners to clean the TV.
  • Risk of damage to the screen! Never touch, push, rub or strike the screen with an object.
  • Wipe off any water as quickly as possible to avoid deformation and discolouration.

PHILIPS 32PHT5678 - Screen care - 1

Note

Static images may cause permanent damage to the TV screen.

  • Do not display static images on LCD TV screens for longer than 2 hours, as this can cause ghosting onscreen. To prevent ghosting, reduce the brightness and contrast of the screen when displaying static images.
  • Watching programmes in 4:3 format for extended periods may leave different marks on the left and right of the screen and the border of the image. Therefore, avoid using this mode for prolonged periods.
  • Displaying static images from video games and computers for extended periods may cause an afterimage

and ghosting due to screen burn. Reduce the screen brightness and contrast accordingly when using the TV in this way.

Any afterimages, ghosting or marks displayed on the TV screen due to the causes mentioned above are not covered by the warranty.

9 Troubleshooting

This section covers common problems and their accompanying solutions.

General issues

The TV cannot be switched on:

  • Disconnect the power cable from the power outlet. Wait for one minute before reconnecting it.
  • Check that the power cable is securely connected.

The remote control is not working properly:

  • Check that the remote control batteries are correctly inserted according to the +/- orientation.
  • Replace the remote control batteries if they are flat or weak.
  • Clean the remote control and TV sensor lens.

The standby light on the TV is red and blinking:

- Disconnect the power cable from the power outlet. Wait for the TV to cool down before reconnecting the power cable. If the light continues to blink, please contact Philips Customer Care Centre.

You forgot the code to unlock the TV lock feature

- Enter '8888'.

The TV menu is in the wrong language.

- Change the TV menu to your preferred language.

When turning the TV On/Off or to Standby, you hear a creaking sound from the TV chassis:

- No action is required. The creaking sound comes from the normal expansion and contraction of the TV as it cools down and warms up. This does not impact its performance.

Channel issues

Previously installed channels do not appear in the channel list:

- Check that the correct channel list is selected.

Picture issues

The TV is on, but there is no picture:

  • Check that the antenna is properly connected to the TV.
  • Check that the correct device is selected as the TV source.

There is sound but no picture:

- Check that the picture settings are correctly set.

Poor TV reception from the antenna connection:

  • Check that the antenna is properly connected to the TV.
  • Loudspeakers, 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 the reception on one particular channel is poor, please fine tune this channel.

There is poor picture quality from connected devices:

  • Check that the devices are connected properly.
  • Check that the picture settings are correctly set.

The TV did not save your picture settings:

- Check that the TV location is set to the home setting. This mode offers you the flexibility to change and save settings.

The picture does not fit the screen; it is too big or too small:

• Try using a different picture format.
The picture position is incorrect:
- Picture signals from some devices may not fit the screen correctly. Please check the signal output of the device.

Sound issues

PHILIPS 32PHT5678 - Sound issues - 1

  • Check that all cables are properly connected.
  • Check that the volume is not set to 0.
    • Check that the sound is not muted.
  • Check that the sound settings are correctly set.

The pictures are showing but sound comes from one speaker only:

HDMI connection issues

There are problems with HDMI devices:

  • Please 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, please try switching the signal source to another device before switching it back again.
  • If there are intermittent sound disruptions, please check that output settings from the HDMI device are correct.

- If you are using a HDMI to DVI adapter or cable, please check if the audio cable that comes with the product is connected to AUDIO (only for mini jacks).

Computer connection issues

The computer display on the TV is not stable:

  • Check that your PC uses the supported resolution and refresh rate.
