Placing Center and Station

Mounting stand onto Station

WA S5 Station is equipped with a stand. Once inserted, the stand is undetachable.

1

Align the supplied stand to the jack at Station’s bottom

2

Insert the stand into the jack firmly

Installation

Setting up Wi-Fi connection between Center and Station

Wi-Fi connection starts automatically when you power up WAC5 Center and WAS5

Station

1

The first time you set up Wi-Fi connection, place Center and Station side by side on a flat and firm surface

2

First, connect the Center to power supply, and then, connect the Station to power supply

Center/Station:

➜

The screen lights up. Auto installation/ connection star ts.

➜

You will enter HD (Harddisk) mode when the installation/connection is finished.

IMPORTANT!

Take the following steps to optimize the

Wi-Fi connection between Center and

Station.

– Keep your Center and Station away from the source of interference

(microwave ovens, DECT phones, bluetooth devices, cordless phones, other Wi-Fi products, etc.)

– Avoid placing your Center or Station close to the plasma TV. It may result in improper display on your Center’s 2-way remote control.

– Keep Stations adequately apart or in different angles (e.g. in different rooms blocked by one wall). Within a distance and angle (e.g. in the same room), your

Center’s remote control is powerful enough to simultaneously operate several Stations, which may also result in improper display on the 2-way remote control.

3

Relocate Center and Station as desired: plug and stream

●

Simply unplug your Center or Station and power them up in other rooms.

➜

You will be able to move the harddisk music between Center and Station.

Helpful hints:

– Make sure you have powered up Center before powering up Station.

IMPORTANT!

– Turn the Wi-Fi antenna for best reception.

– Avoid thick walls. Your Center and Station should never be blocked by 2 or more walls.

– Avoid placing the sets close to large metal objects.

– Adjust the location of your Center and Station according to the reception status of Wi-Fi signals.

– indicates maximum reception

– indicates minmum reception

– WACS5 do not support range expander devices

WACS5_Eng/37 20 8/3/2005, 15:12

If there is interference from neighborhood,

such as the pause during playback, the sets’ slow response to your operation

– Use the WEP* key when connecting your Center and Station to an existing wireless PC network. See the manual Connect to your PC .

– Change the operating channel of your Center and Station when connecting them to an existing wireless PC network. To learn about how to change channels, see the manual Connect to your PC .

– If possible, change the operating channels of the other Wi-Fi devices at your home.

– Turn the above devices in different directions to minimize interference.

Troubleshooting

WARNING

Under no circumstances should you try to repair the system yourself, as this will invalidate the warranty. Do not open the system as there is a risk of electric shock.

If a fault occurs, first check the points listed below before taking the system for repair. If you are unable to remedy a problem by following these hints, consult your dealer or

Philips for help.

Problem

Wi-Fi connection:

Solution

During the first-time setup, Station’s display shows “Searching for Center”.

✔

✔

✔

Check you have placed the Center and Station side by side on a flat and firm surface

Check you have connected the Center to power supply

When adding a new station, check your center is in Installation mode (See HD , Station management )

I get interference on my wireless (WiFi) link between center and station.

The WA CS 5 operate in the 2.4GHz radio frequency spectrum. Many other household/IT devices also operate in the frequency spectrum, for example: microwave ovens, Dect phones, bluetooth devices like bluetooth headphones, computer mouse, wireless routers, cordless phones, WiFi compatible printers, PDAs.

These devices can interfere with the WiFi link between Center and Station, resulting in such interference as the pause during playback , the set’s slow response to your operation. The severity of interference varies depending on the extent of radiation from the device and the strength of Wi-Fi signals in the position.

✔

✔

✔

✔

✔

If you are playing the set, stop playback and take the appropriate measures as follows:

Keep the Center or Station at least 3 meters away from such devices.

Use the WEP key when connecting your

Center and Station to an existing wireless PC network. See the manual Connect to your PC.

Change the operating channel of your Center and Station when connecting them to an existing wireless PC network. To learn about how to change channels, see the manual Connect to your PC.

If possible, change the operating channels of the other Wi-Fi devices at your home.

Turn the devices in different directions to

minimize interference.

Remote control:

When I am using the Center’s 2-way remote control, it starts to show

"connecting ....connecting" on the display endlessly.

When you read this message on the 2-way remote control, there could be the following interference on your remote control:

1) interference signals from the Plasma TV screen

(if this device is turned on);

2) conflicting IR signals from a nearby WAS5

Station

✔

✔

Check your plasma TV is turned off

Check you have placed two IR operated devices

( Station) in separate rooms wherever possible.
