Unboxing and Stand Assembly

This guide provides instructions for setting up your Philips 8500 Series television. Please follow these steps carefully.

Step 1: Unpack the Box

Carefully remove the television screen and all accessories from the packaging. You will find the TV, stand components (left and right base, support piece), and various screws.

Step 2: Assemble the Stand

Follow the diagrams to attach the stand components to the bottom of the TV. Ensure you use the correct screws provided for your specific TV size (50", 55", or 65").

For 50" models, use the designated stand parts and screws.

Secure the stand firmly to the TV using the provided screws (e.g., M6 screws, typically 4 per stand assembly). ?

Step 3: Position the TV

Place the assembled TV on a stable, flat surface. Ensure there is at least 15 cm (approx. 6 inches) of clearance behind the TV for ventilation and optimal performance of features like Ambilight. ?
