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 front left and right speakers at equal distances from the TV and at an angle of approximately 45 degrees from the listening position.

Place the centre speaker above the TV or the DVD system so 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. 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.

– The rear speakers are labeled as REAR

LEFT or REAR RIGHT.

– The front speakers are labeled as

FRONT LEFT or FRONT RIGHT.

TIPS: Before making or changing any connections, make sure that all the devices are disconnected from the power outlet.

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.

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.

HDMI: High-Defi nition Multimedia

Interface (HDMI) is a high-speed digital interface that can transmit uncompressed high defi nition video and digital multichannel 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).

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.

Title: The longest section of a movie or music feature on DVD. Each title is assigned a title number, enabling you to locate the title you want.

VIDEO OUT socket: Yellow socket on the back of the DVD system that sends the

DVD picture video to a TV.
