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 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 centre speaker above the TV or the main unit such that the centre channel’s sound is localised.

C Place the rear speakers at normal listening ear level facing each other.

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

Helpful Hints:

– The placement diagram shown here is only a guideline that provides great system performance. You may fi nd 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 labelled as REAR

LEFT or REAR RIGHT.

– The front speakers are labelled as

Frequently Asked Questions (USB)

Why does it take so long to display the contents on my USB device?

– This could be due to the large numbers of fi les (>500 fi les/folders) or size of the fi les (>1MB).

– There could be other non-supported fi les in the device that this unit is trying to read/display.

Why does the fi le 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 fi le name is restricted by the fi le system of the device (FAT16), which only supports eight (8) characters.

– The computer may be able to display the full fi le name as the operating system can convert the fi le system.

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.

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.

What happens when I plug in a USB

HDD?

HDD is not supported as the large storage capacity makes navigation very diffi cult.

Transfer the music fi les (mp3) and photos

(jpg) into a fl ash 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). MTP class not supported, only can support mass storage class devices.

What types of fi le does this unit support?

We support only FAT16 and FAT32, not

NTFS.

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 programmes.

Why can’t this unit play some of my music fi les, photos or movies?

The music fi les 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.

As required by the HDMI standard, connecting to HDMI or DVI products without HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital

Content Protection) will result in no Video or Audio output.

HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content

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