Important notes for users in the
U.K.
Mains plug
This apparatus is fitted 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
Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted 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:0
– 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.

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 connected the Center to power supply
Check your center is in Installation mode
(See Installation , Setting up Wi-Fi connection between Center and Station )
Turn off the wireless router nearby if there is difficulty in connecting your Center and Station.
I get interference on my wireless (WiFi) link between center and station.
The WA CS 700 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:
Interference signals from the Plasma TV screen
(if this device is turned on).
✔ Check your plasma TV is turned off

P001-P033_WAS700_Eng 31 9/28/2005, 09:40
Troubleshooting
x flashes on the sychro display of Center’s remote control
✔ Signal error. Check you have pointed the remote control toward the IR area of the set you wish to operate
After the set is switched on, nothing appears on the sychro display of Center’s remote control
The remote control does not function properly.
✔ You switched on the set by using the control on the set instead of center’s remote control.
Press REFRESH on center’s remote control to synchronize its display.
✔
✔
✔
✔
✔
Remove the protective plastic tab before using the Station’s remote control.
Reduce the distance between the remote control and the set.
Inser t the batteries with their polarities
(+/– signs) aligned as indicated.
Replace the batteries.
Point the remote control directly towards the IR sensor.
Tuner
Radio reception is poor
✔
✔
If the signal is too weak, adjust the antenna or connect an external antenna for better reception.
Increase the distance between the set and your
TV or VCR.
✔
✔
Install the supplied FM wire antenna for better reception.
Keep your Center or Station at least 1 meter away from PC.
There will be very interference on the radio reception whenever my center or station is near the PC.
Such interferece happens to most of the built-in tuner product.
Wall mounting
How do I mount the Center or Station onto walls?
✔ Use the by-packed wall mounting kits. It is recommended you get a qualified person to fix the mounting brackets safely onto your walls before you mount the Center or Station. For details, refer to the Appendix : How to mount your Station onto Walls
