How to Turn On Philips TV

Turn On Philips TV Using Remote

1. Standard Remote: You can press the Power button on your Philips TV remote to turn it on.

2. Replacement or Universal Remotes: You can also use a third-party remote or a Universal remote to switch it on & off.

Turn On Philips TV Without Remote

1. Physical Buttons: Another way to switch on your TV is by pressing the Power button. In some models, you can find this button on the back or side, whereas in other models, it’s under the TV (center or side).

2. Remote Apps: Based on your TV’s OS, you can install a compatible remote app to turn on or off your Philips TV. These are the apps you can use for different Philips TV Operating Systems.

• Philips Smart TV: Install the Philips Smart TV App from Play Store or App Store
• Roku TV: Install The Roku App (Official) from Play Store or App Store
• Android/Google TV: Download the Google TV App from Play Store or App Store

Now, connect Philips TV to WIFI and link the mobile to the same network. Once both the app and your TV are paired, you can open the app’s virtual remote and tap the Power button to turn on/off your TV.

Note: You can also use third-party/IR remote apps that support the control of Philips TVs.

3. Voice Control: If your Philips TV supports voice assistants like Google Assistant or Alexa, you can pair it with the Google Home app or Amazon Alexa app and use voice commands like “Hey Google/Alexa, turn on the TV” to switch on your TV. You can also connect smart speakers to the appropriate apps and control your TV. This allows you to control it from anywhere in your house.

Important Note! Both the voice control and remote app can be used to turn on your Philips TV in the remote’s absence only if its pairing is priorly done with the TV. So, you can’t use them as an immediate alternative for a physical remote.

These are all the methods you can use to switch on or off your Philips TV. Remember them because you never know when you might have to use one of these methods to turn on your TV.
