Important notes for users in the

U.K.

Mains plug

This apparatus is  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 Re t the fuse cover.

If the  tted plug is not suitable for your socket

outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate

plug  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 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  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

FRONT LEFT or FRONT RIGHT.

– For speaker setting, see ‘Getting Started -

Setting the speakers’ channels’.
