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 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 fitted 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 cer tain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

Advarsel: Usynlig laserstråling ved åbning når sikkerhedsafbrydere er ude af funktion. Undgå utsættelse for stråling.

Bemærk: Netafbryderen er sekundært indkoblet og ofbryder ikke strømmen fra nettet. Den indbyggede netdel er derfor tilsluttet til lysnettet så længe netstikket sidder i stikkontakten.

Klass 1 laseraparat Varning! Om apparaten används på annat sätt än i denna bruksanvisning specificerats, kan användaren utsättas för osynlig laserstrålning, som överskrider gränsen för laserklass 1.

Observera! Stömbrytaren är sekundärt kopplad och bryter inte strömmen från nätet. Den inbyggda nätdelen är därför ansluten till elnätet så länge stickproppen sitter i vägguttaget.

Luokan 1 laserlaite Varoitus! Laitteen käyttäminen muulla kuin tässä käyttöohjeessa mainitulla tavalla saattaa altistaa käyttäjän turvallisuusluokan 1 ylittävälle näkymättömälle lasersäteilylle. Oikeus muutoksiin varataan. Laite ei saa olla alttiina tippu-ja roiskevedelle.

Huom. Toiminnanvalitsin on kytketty toisiopuolelle, eikä se kytke laitetta irti sähköverkosta. Sisäänrakennettu verkkoosa on kytkettynä sähköverkkoon aina silloin, kun pistoke on pistorasiassa.

General Information

English

CAUTION! The machine does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Please leave all maintenance work to qualified personnel.

Setup

Finding a suitable location

– Place the set on a flat, hard and stable surface. Do not place the set on a carpet. – Do not position the set on top of other equipment that might heat it up (e.g., receiver or amplifier). – Do not put anything under the set (e.g., CDs, magazines).

Space for ventilation

– Place the apparatus in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat build up. Allow at least 10 cm (4.5”) clearance from the rear and the top of the set and 5cm (2.3”) from the left and right to prevent overheating.

Avoid high temperatures, moisture, water and dust

– Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing. – Do not place any sources of danger on the apparatus (e.g., liquid filled objects, lighted candles).

Accessories supplied

– 1 Junction Box with velcro strip pad – 1 AV subwoofer with 4 rubber feet – 2 SonoWave speakers with 2 sets of wall

mounting brackets, screws and wall plugs

– 1 set of wall mounting bracket, screws

and wall plugs for main DVD system

– 1 remote control with battery inserted – 1 VGA cable (for connecting between the

AV subwoofer and Junction Box).

– 1 AC power cable for the AV subwoofer – Quick Use Guide

Cleaning discs

Some problems occur because the disc inside the player is dirty (frozen picture, sound disruptions, picture distortions). To avoid these problems, discs should be cleaned on a regular basis.

To clean a disc, use a micro fibre cleaning cloth and wipe the disc from the center to the edge in a straight line.

001-049 HTS8000S-00-Eng 22/04/2005, 04:04 PM8

CAUTION!

Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static sprays intended for discs.

Since the optical unit (laser) of the DVD system operates at a higher power than regular DVD or CD players, cleaning CDs intended for DVD or CD players may damage the optical unit (laser). Therefore, refrain from using a cleaning CD.

System Placement

Positioning for best effect

The Philips HTS8000S Home Theatre System, with its proprietary 2-speaker SonoWave system, is simple to install compared to other regular home theatre systems. However, proper system placement is critical to ensure the most immersive sound experience.

The placement diagrams shown here are only guidelines that provide great system performance, you may find other placement choices that are more suitable for your room layout and provide the sound you enjoy.

Figure A : Example of placement on the flat surface

Figure B : Example of wall mounting placement

Placing the SonoWave speakers

When placing the SonoWave speakers, ensure that:

– It should be placed at the same height

and at the normal listening ear level for the best sound performance.

– It should be placed at equal distance from

the TV, the FRONT R at the right hand side and FRONT L at the left hand side (as shown below).

– It should be faced straight ahead towards

the listening area. Do not place at an angle as it would reduce the system performance.

English

Helpful Hints: – To avoid magnetic interference, do not position the SonoWave speakers too close to your TV. – Allow adequate ventilation around the AV subwoofer and DVD system.
