Step 1: Placing the speakers
The Philips Home Theater System is
simple to install. However, proper
system placement is critical to ensure an
optimum sound experience.
A Place the front left and right speakers at
equal distances from the TV and at an
angle of approximately 45 degrees from
the listening position.
B Place the center speaker above the TV or
the main unit so that the center channel’s
sound is localized.
Helpful Hints:
– The placement diagram shown here is
only a guideline that provides great system
performance. You may find other
placement choices that are more suitable for
your room layout that provide the sound
experience you enjoy.
– To avoid magnetic interference, never
position the front speakers too close to your
TV.
– The rear speakers are labeled as REAR
LEFT or REAR RIGHT.
– The front speakers are labeled as
FRONT LEFT or FRONT RIGHT.
– For speaker setting, see ‘Getting Started Setting the speakers’ channel.’
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
meter away from the TV.

A Use the component video cables (red/
blue/green - not supplied) to connect the
Y Pb Pr jacks on the main unit to the
corresponding component video input
jacks (or labeled as Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr or
YUV) on the TV.
B If your TV accepts progressive signals,
proceed to chapter ‘Getting Started Setting up Progressive Scan feature’ for
detailed progressive feature setup.
Option 4: Connecting to a HDMIcompatible TV
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia
Interface) is a digital interface that allows
pure digital video transmission without
the loss of image quality.
A Use the HDMI cable (not supplied) to
connect the HDMI OUT on the main
unit to the HDMI IN on a HDMIcompatible device (e.g., HDMI TV, HDCP
compliant DVI TV.)
B When you have completed the necessary
connections, installation and set-up, see
‘Audio Setup Page and Video Setup Page’
for optimum HDMI audio and video
settings.
Helpful Hints:
– The HDMI is backward compatible with
some DVI devices using an appropriate
adaptor plug.
– If a DVI device is connected, an additional
audio cable is required for audio transmission.

A Connect a AM/MW loop antenna (not
supplied) to the AM/MW jack. Place the
AM/MW loop antenna on a shelf, or
attach it to a stand or wall.
B Connect the supplied FM antenna to the
FM 75 Ω jack. Extend the FM antenna
and fix its ends to the wall.
For better FM stereo reception, connect
an external FM antenna (not supplied.)
Helpful Hints:
– Adjust the position of the antennas for
optimal reception.
– Position the antennas as far away as
possible from your TV, VCR or other
radiation source to prevent any unwanted
interference.

Why does it take so long to display the
contents on my USB device?
– This could be due to the large numbers
of files (>500 files/folders) or size of the
files (>1MB.)
– There could be other non-supported files
in the device that this unit is trying to
read/display.
What if un-supported devices (e.g. USB
mouse, keyboards) are plugged into
this unit?
The device may cause this unit to be
unstable. Remove the unsupported device
and unplug the mains cord. Wait for a few
minutes before reconnecting the mains cord
and power on this unit again.
What happens when I plug in a USB
HDD?
HDD is not supported as the large storage
capacity makes navigation very difficult.
Transfer the music files (mp3) and photos
(jpg) into a flash drive.
Why does this unit fail to detect my
USB portable music player?
The portable music player may require
propriety software that is bundled with our
system in order to access the contents (eg.
playlist.)
What types of file does this unit
support?
We support only FAT16 and FAT32, not
NTFS.
Why does the file name appear to be
different from what was displayed on my
computer (e.g. from “Good Bye. jpg” to
“Good_B~1.jpg”)?
– The length of the file name is restricted
by the file system of the device (FAT16),
which only supports eight (8) characters.
– The computer may be able to display the
full file name as the operating system can
convert the file system.
Is simultaneous USB and Disc playback
possible?
This is not possible due to memory
limitation. In addition, a different user
interface will be needed in order to function
and in order to be simple enough to use.
Why can’t I rotate the pictures in my
device?
In order to rotate the pictures in the USB
device, the picture must contain EXIF
information, stored by most digital cameras.
This EXIF information may have been
removed when you edit or copy the picture
from other devices using editing programs.
Why can’t this unit play some of my
music files, photos or movies?
The music files may not be playable because
of different formats and encoding bit-rates.
Similarly, the photos may be of low
resolution or too high resolution for this unit
to support.
