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.
E Place the wireless receiver in between
the rear speakers at the back of the
room. Face it (with Philips logo) towards
the direction of the wireless transmitter
which connected to the main unit.
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’ channel’.

Why does it take so long to display the
contents on my USB device?
– This could be due to the large numbers
of les (>500 les/folders) or size of the
les (>1MB).
– There could be other non-supported les
in the device that this unit is trying to
read/display.
What if un-supported devices (e.g. USB
mouse, keyboards) are plugged into
this unit?
The device may cause this unit to be
unstable. Remove the unsupported device
and unplug the mains cord. Wait for a few
minutes before reconnecting the mains cord
and power on this unit again.
What happens when I plug in a USB
HDD?
HDD is not supported as the large storage
capacity makes navigation very dif cult.
Transfer the music les (mp3) and photos
(jpg) into a ash drive.
Why does this unit fail to detect my
USB portable music player?
The portable music player may require
propriety software that is bundled with our
system in order to access the contents (eg.
playlist). MTP class not supported, only can
support mass storage class devices.
What types of le does this unit
support?
We support only FAT16 and FAT32, not
NTFS.
Why does the le name appear to be
different from what was displayed on my
computer (e.g. from ‘Good Bye. jpg’ to
‘Good_B~1.jpg’)?
– The length of the le name is restricted
by the le system of the device (FAT16),
which only supports eight (8) characters.
– The computer may be able to display the
full le name as the operating system can
convert the le system.
Is simultaneous USB and Disc playback
possible?
This is not possible due to memory
limitation. In addition, a different user
interface will be needed in order to function
and in order to be simple enough to use.
Why can’t I rotate the pictures in my
device?
In order to rotate the pictures in the USB
device, the picture must contain EXIF
information, stored by most digital cameras.
This EXIF information may have been
removed when you edit or copy the picture
from other devices using editing
programmes.
Why can’t this unit play some of my
music les, photos or movies?
The music les may not be playable because
of different formats and encoding bit-rates.
Similarly, the photos may be of low
resolution or too high resolution for this unit
to support.

length to height ratio of TV screens. The
ratio of a standard TV is 4:3, while the ratio
of a high-de nition or wide TV is 16:9. The
letter box allows you to enjoy a picture with
a wider perspective on a standard 4:3 screen.
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.
Composite video (CVBS): A single video
signal commonly used in most consumer
video products.
Disc menu: A screen display prepared for
allowing a selection of images, sounds,
subtitles, multi-angles, etc., recorded on a
DVD.
DivX: The DivX code is a patent-pending,
MPEG-4 based video compression
technology, developed by DivX Networks,
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 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 speci 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.
HDMI: High-De nition Multimedia Interface
(HDMI) is a high-speed digital interface that
can transmit uncompressed high de 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 speci cation that provides a
secure transmission of digital contents
between different devices (to prevent
unauthorized copyright).

Glossary (continued)
JPEG: A very common digital still picture
format. A still-picture data compression
system proposed by the Joint Photographic
Expert Group, which features small decrease
in image quality in spite of its high
compression ratio. Files are recognised by
their le extension ‘JPG or JPEG’.
MP3: A 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.
MPEG: Motion Picture Experts Group. A
collection of compression systems for digital
audio and video.
Multi-channel: DVDs are formatted to
have each sound track constitute one sound
eld. Multi-channel refers to a structure of
sound tracks having three or more channels.
PBC: Playback Control. A system of
navigating a Video CD/Super VCD through
on-screen menus recorded onto the disc.
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 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 elds full of realism
by arranging multiple speakers around the
listener.
S-Video: Produces a clear picture by
sending separate signals for the luminance
and the colour. You can use S-Video only if
your TV has an S-Video In socket.
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.
WMA: Windows Media™ Audio. Refers to
an audio compression technology developed
by Microsoft Corporation. WMA data can be
encoded by using Windows Media Player
version 9 or Windows Media Player for
Windows XP. Files are recognised by their
le extension ‘WMA’.
