Switch On
The TV does not switch on
• Disconnect the power cable from the power outlet.
Wait for one minute then reconnect it. Make sure that
the power cable is securely connected. Try switching
on again.

Creaking sound at startup or switch off
When you are turning the TV on or standby, you hear
a creaking sound from the TV chassis. The creaking
sound is due to the normal expansion and
contraction of the TV as it cools and warms up. This
does not affect performance.
The TV goes back to standby after showing the
Philips startup screen
When the TV is in standby, a Philips startup screen is
displayed, then the TV returns to standby mode. This
is normal behaviour. When the TV is disconnected
and reconnected to the power supply, the startup
screen is displayed at the next startup. To switch on
the TV from standby, press
(Standby / On) the
remote control or the TV.
The standby light keeps on blinking
Disconnect the power cable from the power outlet.
Wait 5 minutes before you reconnect the power
cable. If the blinking reoccurs, contact Philips TV
Consumer Care.
