Helpful Hints:  
Step 1: Placing the speakers  
– 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.  
The Philips Home Theater System is  
simple to install. However, proper  
system placement is critical to ensure an  
optimum sound experience.  
– To avoid magnetic interference, never  
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.  
– For speaker setting, see ‘Getting Started -  
Setting the speakers’ channel.’  
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 center speaker above the TV or  
the main unit so that the center channel’s  
sound is localized.  
C Place the rear speakers at normal  
listening ear level facing each other or  
hang on the wall.  
D Place the subwoofer at the corner of the  
room. Otherwise, keep it at least one  
meter away from the TV.

Option 1: Using theVideo jack  
Step 2: Connecting toTV  
Use the supplied composite video cable  
(yellow) to connect the CVBS jack on  
the main unit to the video input jack (or  
labeled as A/V In, Video In, Composite or  
Baseband) on the TV.  
l
This connection enables you to view the  
video playback from this unit. You only  
need to choose one of the options  
below to make the video connection.  
– For a standard TV, follow option 1  
– For a progressive scan TV, follow  
option 2.  
èIt provides good picture quality.  
Option 2: Connecting to a  
Progressive ScanTV or component  
video input  
– For TV with only a single antenna  
input jack, follow option 3.  
The progressive scan video quality is only  
available when using Y Pb Pr connection  
and a progressive scan TV is required. It  
provides superior picture quality when  
watching DVD movies.  
Helpful Hints:  
– It is important to connect this unit directly  
to the TV in order to enjoy optimum video  
quality.  
– To hear the TV channels through this unit,  
connect the AUDIO IN jacks to the  
corresponding AUDIO output jacks on the TV  
using an audio cable. Press TV on the remote  
control when watching the TV programs.  
A Use the component video cables (red/  
blue/green - not supplied) to connect the  
Y Pb Pr jacks on the main unit to the  
corresponding component video input  
jacks (or labeled as Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr or  
YUV) on the TV.  
B If your TV accepts progressive signals,  
proceed to chapter ‘Getting Started -  
Setting up Progressive Scan feature’ for  
detailed progressive feature setup.

Frequently Asked Questions (USB)  
Why does it take so long to display the  
contents on my USB device?  
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”)?  
This could be due to the large numbers  
of $les (>500 $les/folders) or size of the  
$ les (>1MB.)  
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.  
There could be other non-supported $les  
in the device that this unit is trying to  
read/display.  
What if un-supported devices (e.g. USB  
mouse, keyboards) are plugged into  
this unit?  
The device may cause this unit to be  
unstable. Remove the unsupported device  
and unplug the mains cord. Wait for a few  
minutes before reconnecting the mains cord  
and power on this unit again.  
Is simultaneous USB and Disc playback  
possible?  
This is not possible due to memory  
limitation. In addition, a different user  
interface will be needed in order to function  
and in order to be simple enough to use.  
What happens when I plug in a USB  
HDD?  
Why can’t I rotate the pictures in my  
device?  
HDD is not supported as the large storage  
capacity makes navigation very dif$cult.  
Transfer the music $les (mp3) and photos  
(jpg) into a %ash drive.  
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 programs.  
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.  
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.  
What types of "le does this unit  
support?  
We support only FAT16 and FAT32, not  
NTFS.
