Basic Connections

English

Step 1: Placing the speakers

The Philips Home Theater 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 center speaker above the TV or

the DVD system 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. Keep at least one meter away

from the TV.

Helpful Hints: – The placement diagram shown here is only a guideline that will provide great system performance. You may  nd other placement choices that are more suitable for your room layout and provide the sound experience you enjoy. – To avoid magnetic interference, do not 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.

TIPS: Before making or changing any connections, make sure that all the devices are disconnected

from the power outlet.
