INTRODUCTION CONNECTIONS

Introduction

Congratulations!!! You are now a proud owner of PHILIPS
HOME CINEMA SPEAKER SYSTEM which have been
developed to produce superb sound for many years of
listening pleasure.

Please read this manual carefully before connecting your
speakers. You will find a number of useful tips for getting
the best sound performance out of your home cinema
surround sound speaker system.

Environmental notes

• All redundant packaging material has been omitted. The
packaging is easily separable into three mono-materials:
– cardboard (box)
– expandable polystyrene (buffer)
– polyethylene (bags, protective foam sheet)

• Your set consists of materials which can be recycled if
disassembled by a specialized company.

• Please observe the local regulations regarding the
disposal of packing materials and old equipment.

Other Home Cinema Sound Products

These speakers have been designed together with Philips
Home Cinema Receiver range (FR735/FR755/FR960/FR970)
in order to optimise performance.
For more impressive bass performance these systems can
be extended with a 50W (FB201*) or 100W (FB301*)
subwoofer.

Connectors on the amplifier/receiver

The speaker connections on the amplifier or receiver may
be either screw connectors or click-fit connectors.

• At the rear of the amplifier/receiver you will find a red
colored or + terminal and a black or - terminal for each
speaker.

• Connect the marked or sleeved speaker wire to the red
or + terminal, and the unmarked wire to the black or ­terminal of the amplifier/receiver.

• After connecting the speakers, do not forget to adjust
the relative sound level between the speakers, see
chapter “Adjusting the relative speaker balance”.

Note:
– Since Left/Right Front speakers are identical to the Left/

Right Surround speakers of the FB965/FB975 packages,
all connectors are same code (Black/Red), speaker
terminal and wire for surrounds are still Grey/Black
coded.
