You might be looking at the wrong connectors: you want an output from the TV connected to the input of the Ray. Does the TV have optical out?

Airgetlam

Almost all HDMI switches (available at Amazon, or your preferred retailer) have an optical output that you can then connect the Sonos Ray to, even before the video signal reaches the TV set. Just make sure the switch you buy does have an optical output…

However, you do lose the capability to use any ‘smart’ applications on the TV itself. It’s slightly more convoluted if you want to do that, but not impossible.

What Philips TV are you trying to connect?

I don’t have any suggestions, there are too many options. Find one that is available, matches your budget, and has the features you want. I don’t use one, personally.
