Setup precautions

Finding a suitable location

– Place the set on a  at, 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 ampli er.) – Do not put anything under the set (e.g., CDs, magazines.)

– Install this unit near the AC outlet and where the AC power plug can be reached easily.

Space for ventilation

– Place the apparatus in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat build up. Allow at least 10 cm (4”) clearance from the rear and the top of the set and 5 cm (2”) 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  lled objects, lighted candles.)

Accessories supplied

Dolby Surround Pro Logic II: It is an improved matrix decoding technology that provides better spatiality and directionality on Dolby Surround program 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 also compatible with conventional Pro Logic decoders.)

DTS: Digital Theater Systems. This is a surround sound system, but it is different from Dolby Digital. The formats are 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 multi-channel 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 (Highbandwidth Digital Content Protection) will result in no Video or Audio output.

Philips warrants replacement products or parts provided under this warranty against defects in materials and workmanship from the date of the replacement or repair for ninety (90) days or for the remaining portion of the original product’s warranty, whichever provides longer coverage for you. When a product or part is exchanged, any replacement item becomes your property and the replaced item becomes Philips’ property. When a refund is given, your product becomes Philips’ property.
