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 the 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 should be fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, it 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, so as
to avoid a possible shock hazard due to it being
inserted into another 13-Amp socket.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured
using the following codes: 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 sure
that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath
of the lead and not simply over the two
wires.

Helpful hints:
The Station only supports USB devices that adhere
to the following standards:
– USB MSC ( Type ‘0’ )
– File system in FAT12/ FAT16/ FAT32
– Operations based on simple folder based
navigation (also known as a normal FAT file
system), and not based on proprietary track
database.
The following USB devices will not be supported by
the Station:
– MTP based or Dual mode (adhering to both the
MSC and MTP standards) devices, as the
Station does not support browse, play and
export functions using the MTP protocol.
–Products with database based UI (Artists,
Albums and Genre based navigation) as these
products normally store music files in a specific
hidden folder and uses embedded proprietary
track database that the Station is unable to
read properly.

WARNING
Never 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 resolve a problem by following these hints, consult your dealer or Philips for help.
Problem Solution
15.Troubleshooting
During the first-time setup, the display
on the Station shows “Searching for
Center”.
I get interference on my wireless (Wi-Fi)
link between the Center and Station.
The WACS7000 operates in the 2.4GHz radio
frequency spectrum. Many other household/IT
devices also operate in this frequency spectrum,
for example: microwave ovens, Dect phones,
bluetooth devices like bluetooth headphones,
computer mouse, wireless routers, cordless
phones,Wi-Fi compatible printers, PDAs.These
devices can interfere with the Wi-Fi link
between the Center and Station, resulting in
interference such as pause during playback, slow
response to your operation, etc.The severity of
interference varies depending on the extent of
radiation from the device and the strength of
Wi-Fi signals in that position.
✔ Check that you have placed the Center and
Station side by side on a flat and firm surface.
✔ Check that you have connected the Center to
the power supply.
✔ When adding a new station, check that the
center is in Installation mode (see 12.1: Adding
Additional Station to the Wi-Fi network on the
Center).
✔ Tu rn off the wireless Access Point nearby if you
encounter difficulty connecting the Center and
Station.
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/WPA key when connecting the
Center and Station to an existing wireless PC
network.To set WEP/WPA key, connect
Center/Station to your PC using Philips
Wireless Audio Device Manager (WADM) in
the by-packed PC Suite CD. In WADM’s
Device configuration, enter the Wireless
Network sub-menu, and in Device Wireless
Authentication Type, select WEP or WPA.
✔ Change the operating channel of the Center
and Station when connecting them to an
existing wireless PC network.To change
channels, connect the Center/Station to your
PC using Philips Wireless Audio Device
Manager (WADM) in the by-packed PC Suite
CD. In WADM’s Device configuration, enter
the SSID of your Wireless Network, and select
Ad-hoc mode. See the manual Connect to
your PC and the WADM help file.
✔ If possible, change the operating channels of
the other Wi-Fi devices at your home.
✔ Tu rn the devices in different directions to
minimize interference.
