Connecting Philips soundbar to Philips TV

Hello,

The simplest audio connection is via a DIGITAL COAXIAL AUDIO (SPDIF) cable

On the TV:

SPDIF OUT (2)


On the soundbar:

DIGITAL IN COAXIAL (1)

With a cable of this type: --> http://www.darty.com/nav/achat/gps_autoradio_dvd_portable/dvd_portable/cable_audio/hitachi_coaxial_1_5m.html

This cable is just one model; you might be able to find one cheaper, but be careful about the quality.

The "EASYLINK" function allows you to control several devices that have this mention.

It is indicated here: https://www.lcd-compare.com/televiseur-PHI42PFL7864H-PHILIPS-42PFL7864H.htm, in the paragraph titled "Connectivity of the PHILIPS 42PFL7864H LCD TV".

Excerpt from the Philips manual on this subject:

Using the Philips EasyLink Function

Your television supports the Philips EasyLink function, which uses the HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) protocol. EasyLink-compatible devices connected to HDMI connectors can be controlled with a single remote.

You will need to perform audio settings on the TV, but this is indicated in its user manual.

Regards ;-)

Alcohol solves nothing; that said, water and milk don't either ;-)

The Easylink function allows you to play and pause using a single button between compatible EasyLink devices.
