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.

Basic Connections
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 SonoWave speakers at the normal listening ear level, equal distance from the TV and face straight ahead towards the listening area.
B Place the subwoofer at the corner of the room. Keep at least one metre away from the TV.
Helpful Hints:
– The placement diagram shown here is only a guideline that will provide great system performance. You may fi nd other placement choices that are more suitable for your room layout and provide the sound experience you enjoy.
– To avoid magnetic interference, do not position the front speakers too close to your
TV.
– Do not place the SonoWave speakers at an angle as it would reduce the system performance.
– For SonoWave speakers setting, see
‘Getting Started - Step 6: Setting the
SonoWave speakers.’

Problem (USB/HDMI/MP3 Direct) Solution
The contents of the USB fl ash drive cannot be read.
– The USB fl ash drive format is not compatible with the system.
– Drive is formatted with a different fi le system which is not supported by this DVD system (e.g. NTFS).
Slow operation of the USB fl ash drive.
No HDMI audio output.
No HDMI video output.
– Large fi le size or high memory USB fl ash drive takes longer time to read and display on the TV.
– You will not hear any sound from the HDMI output if the source device is only DVI/HDCP (Highbandwidth Digital Content Protection)-compatible.
– It is not possible to output SACD or copy-controlled
DVD-Audio sources from the HDMI connection.
– HDMI connection can only be made to HDMIequipped devices with HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital
Content Protection). If you wish to connect to a DVI connector (equipped with HDCP), you will need a separate adaptor (DVI to HDMI).
– Make sure the resolution of this DVD system matches the device you have connected using the HDMI. See
HDMI setting.

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 the system 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 the system?
– The device may cause the system 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 the system again.
Is simultaneous USB and Disc playback possible?
– 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 can’t I rotate the pictures in my device?
– In order to rotate the pictures in the
USB device, a “special” fi le in the jpeg picture called EXIF must be embedded.
This EXIF information may have not been created by the USB device or removed when you edit or copy the picture from other devices using editing programmes.
Why does the system 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 fi le does the system support?
– We support only FAT16 and FAT32, not
NTFS.
Why can’t the system 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 the system to support.

Glossary
Analogue: Sound that has not been turned into numbers. Analogue sound varies, while digital sound has specifi c numerical values.
These sockets send audio through two channels, the left and right.
Aspect ratio: The ratio of vertical and horizontal sizes of a displayed image. The horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional
TVs is 4:3, and that of wide-screens is 16:9.
AUDIO OUT Sockets: Red and white sockets on the back of the unit that send audio to 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.
Disc menu: A screen display prepared for allowing a selection of images, sounds, subtitles, multi-angles, etc to be recorded on a DVD.
DivX: The DivX code is a patent-pending,
MPEG-4 based video compression technology, developed by DivXNetworks,
Inc., that can shrink digital video to sizes small enough to be transported over the internet, while maintaining high visual quality.
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).
DTS: Digital Theatre Systems. This is a surround sound system, but it is different from the Dolby Digital. The formats were developed by different companies.
HDMI: High-Defi nition Multimedia
Interface (HDMI) is a high-speed digital interface that can transmit uncompressed high defi nition video and digital multi-channel audio. It delivers perfect picture and sound quality, completely free from noise. HDMI is fully backward-compatible with DVI.
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 unauthorised copyright).
52
JPEG: A very common digital still picture format. A still picture data compression system proposed by the Joint Photographic
Expert Group, which features a small decrease in image quality in spite of its high compression ratio.
MP3: A fi le format with a sound data compression system. “MP3” is the abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts
Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer3. By using the MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contain about 10 times more data than a regular CD.
Multichannel: DVDs are formatted to have each sound track constitute one sound fi eld.
Multichannel refers to a structure of sound tracks having three or more channels.
Playback control (PBC): Refers to the signal recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for controlling playback. By using menu screens recorded on a Video CD or SVCD that supports PBC, you can enjoy interactive playback and searching.
Progressive Scan: The progressive scan displays twice the number of frames per second than in an ordinary TV system. It offers higher picture resolution and quality.
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).
Surround: A system for creating realistic three dimensional sound fi elds full of realism by arranging multiple speakers around the listener.
