Philips TV 55PFL7606K/02 (1 Viewer)

[Stéphane Lenclud]

I'm the proud owner of this Philips TV 55PFL7606K/02.
I bought it a few years ago as I quite liked that ambilight feature.
Feel free to use this thread to share information and discuss about this hardware.

If you connect the RJ45 port of this TV to a network you can use its REST API to interact with it.
See: http://jointspace.sourceforge.net/

Apparently it does not support Wake On LAN (WOL).
Standby control is supported through CEC.
See Sharp Display Manager for instance.

@Marcus Venturi You probably experimented quite bit with yours. Can you confirm it does not support WOL?

 

[Marcus Venturi]

WOL was one of the first first features I was looking for, but had no success.

Only Models from 2013 on should support WOL...

 

[Stéphane Lenclud]

That's rather annoying but at least we can turn it off from REST.

Do you know if it does support CEC Standby commands?

 

[Marcus Venturi]

Oh sorry, didn't see your question. Haven't tested that, but the current test version of Auto3D supports turning off TV on Shutdown or Suspend.

Shutdown from MediaPortal GUI will work in the next version I'm currently testing.

 

[Marcus Venturi]

Now it's possible to turn your TV on with MediaPortal.

Auto3D plugin for MediaPortal 1.2 - 1.11 (GUI & TV/Beamer)

You just need this:

Auto3D now supports sending IR commands, which could be used to turn your TV on.

 

[Stéphane Lenclud]

Thanks for the update. I actually implemented CEC support in that Sharp Display Manager tool that's now taking care of turning on and off the TV much like any monitor would.

 

[Stéphane Lenclud]

There is also a plugin called CECRemote that's taking care of managing your TV power states through that same Pulse-Eight USB HDMI CEC adapter.

The switch from 2D to 3D side by side mode via Adjust menu selection is not always working.
To make it work reliably I have to switch first to 3D top and bottom and then back to side by side.

@Marcus Venturi Are you also having this issue too?

 

[Marcus Venturi]

Yes I also had the problem, that the TV sometimes when switching to 3D did not display correct 3D. It took me some time to find a sequence that works.
If you look at my sequences in Auto3D for my Philips, you will find that I do something similar.
