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

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

Ultra-thin design, powerful 5.1 surround audio!

The A 3.600 Acoustic Surround Power / MMS

306 is the result of the ultimate fusion of Philips

acoustical core competencies. We created a 5.1-

channel speaker system that features five ultra-

thin soft flat panel speakers, a variety of mounting

options and an explosive wOOx subwoofer. The

set is the perfect choice for a space-saving hifi

audio solution.

This Soft Flat Panel speaker system is especially

designed to be a hifi multimedia 5.1-channel

speaker system. All together, there can be

connected up to three audio-visual sources at the

same time directly to the speaker system. Three

keys on the remote control are provided to make

your audio device selection:

INPUT 1 à 5.1-channel input

INPUT 2 à stereo input

INPUT 3 à stereo input

This 5.1-channel speaker system will enhance

dramatically your gaming and audio-visual

experience. It delivers the ultimate sound solution

during games and movies by providing thrilling

surround sound with an intense bass impact. For

optimum performance, the set is best used with

5.1-channel audio inputs.

When connecting stereo audio-visual sources to

the set, (INPUT 2 or INPUT 3), built in multi-channel

processing algorithms will indulge you sound from

all speakers around you.

Philips Advanced Technologies

wOOx

Anchored by a 50 watt subwoofer, the A 3.600

Acoustic Surround Power / MMS 306 system

employs Philips patented wOOx Bass Driver

technology to generate superior bass from a

deceptively small enclosure. The wOOx bass

drivers are composed of a unique dual suspension

design mounted in front of the subwoofer resulting

in a deeper, richer bass performance you would

expect from a larger subwoofer. With the

symmetrical construction of the wOOx Bass

Radiator, there is complete balance of the

membrane movement producing no discernable

distortion. As a result, gaming and movie effects

are more intense and music more enjoyable.

Soft Flat Panel Satellite Speakers

NXT* has developed a unique loudspeaker

technology that has redesigned the shape of

sound. Philips has taken a new step in optimizing

the implementation of NXTs* technology by adding

a High Frequency Booster. The High Frequency

Booster boosts the sound pressure at higher

frequencies, thereby enabling the use of a soft

panel material whose sound quality surpasses the

performance of many home audio systems.

Speaker Placement (Illustration page 9)

General

· Placing speakers behind curtains, furniture, or any other

objects will reduce the treble response, thus reducing

the stereo effect significantly.

· Each room has different acoustic characteristics and

the placement possibilities are often limited. You can

find the best position for your speakers by

experimenting. In general, the speakers should be

placed as symmetrical as possible in the room.

Front Satellite Speakers (figure a)

· The front left and right satellite speaker play stereo

music and the off-screen sounds of video playback.

· These satellites should be placed to the sides of your

TV or monitor.

· Viewed from the listeners position, the satellite speaker

connected to

left side, and the satellite speaker connected to

the subwoofer should be on the right side.

· The best stereo effect is obtained when the two front

satellite speakers and the listener form an equilateral

triangle.

· The optimum height for these speakers is when they

are placed at ear height (while seated).

Center Satellite Speaker (figure b)

· The center satellite speaker provides the on-screen

effects and dialog in Dolby Digital / Dolby Surround.

· It should be placed as close to the center of your TV /

monitor as possible (e.g. underneath or on top of your

TV / monitor).

· It should be directed at the listeners ear level while

seated.

Surround Satellite Speakers (figure c)

· The surround left and right satellite speaker provide

the surround effects in Dolby Digital / Dolby Surround

· These satellites may be placed in any convenient sites

alongside the listener, even sites slightly forward the

listeners position.

· The surround satellite speakers do not have to be at

exactly the same height as the front satellite speakers.

· Viewed from the listeners position, the satellite speaker

connected to

left side, and the satellite speaker connected to

the subwoofer should be on the right side.

· If you have side walls close to your listening position,

good placement for your surround satellites is slightly

behind your position and slightly above ear level.

Subwoofer (figure d)

· The subwoofers optimum place is on the floor close to

the wall. The closer it is to the corner, the stronger the

maximum bass output.

· The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded, so position

it at least 0.5 meter from the TV / monitor.
