Important notes for users in the

U.K.

Mains plug

This apparatus is fi tted with an approved 13

Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.

2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362

5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.

3 Refi t the fuse cover.

If the fi tted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fi tted in its place.

If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.

Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).

As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

– Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black.

– Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red.

– Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green and yellow).

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

Step 1: Placing the speakers

The Philips Home Theatre System is simple to install. However, proper system placement is critical to ensure an optimum sound experience.

A

C

Place the rear speakers at normal listening ear level facing each other or hang on the wall.

D Place the subwoofer at the corner of the room. Otherwise, keep it at least one metre away from the TV.

Helpful Hints:

Glossary

Analogue audio: Sound that has not been turned into numbers. Analogue sound is available if you use the AUDIO LEFT/RIGHT.

These red and white sockets send audio through two channels, the left and right.

Aspect ratio: Aspect ratio refers to the length to height ratio of TV screens. The ratio of a standard TV is 4:3, while the ratio of a high-defi nition or wide TV is 16:9. The letter box allows you to enjoy a picture with a wider perspective on a standard 4:3 screen.

AUDIO IN sockets: Red and white sockets on the back of the unit that receive audio from another system (TV, Stereo, etc.).

Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold a given length of music; measured in kilobits per second, or kbps. Or, the speed at which you record. Generally, the higher the bit rate, or the higher the recording speed, the better the sound quality. However, higher bit rates use more space on a disc.

Chapter: Sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD that are smaller than titles.

A title is composed of several chapters. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number enabling you to locate the chapter you want.

Composite video (CVBS): A single video signal commonly used in most consumer video products.

Disc menu: A screen display prepared for allowing a selection of images, sounds, subtitles, multi-angles, etc., recorded on a

DVD.

DivX ® : The DivX ® code is a patent-pending,

MPEG-4 based video compression technology, developed by DivX ® Networks,

Dolby Digital: A surround sound system developed by Dolby Laboratories containing up to six channels of digital audio (front left and right, surround left and right, centre and subwoofer).

Dolby Surround Pro Logic II: It is an improved matrix decoding technology that provides better spatiality and directionality on Dolby Surround programme material, provides a convincing three dimensional sound fi eld on conventional stereo music recordings and is ideally suited to bring the surround experience to automotive sound.

While conventional surround programming is fully compatible with Dolby Surround Pro

Logic II decoders, soundtracks will be able to be encoded specifi cally to take full advantage of Pro Logic II playback, including separate left and right surround channels. (Such material is also compatible with conventional

Pro Logic decoders).

HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content

Protection) is a specifi cation that provides a secure transmission of digital contents between different devices (to prevent unauthorised copyright).

MPEG: Motion Picture Experts Group. A collection of compression systems for digital audio and video.

PBC: Playback Control. A system of navigating a Video CD/Super VCD through on-screen menus recorded onto the disc.

You can enjoy interactive playback and searching.

Region code: A system allowing discs to be played only in the region designated. This unit will only play discs that have compatible region codes. You can fi nd the region code of your unit by looking at the product label.

Some discs are compatible with more than one region (or ALL regions).
