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

mark

ings 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 certain that the cord

grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over

the two wires.

REMOTE CONTROL

6

Open the battery compartment

of the remote control and insert

2 alkaline batteries, type AA

(R06, UM-3).

Remove batteries if they are flat

or if the remote control is not

going to be used for a long time.

Batteries contain chemical substances, so they should

be disposed of properly.

The buttons on the remote control work the same way as the

corresponding ones on the receiver.

Additional appliances can only be controlled if they are

working with the RC-5 and the RC-6 code system.

Important!

You have to press a source button for longer than 2 seconds

to switch the sound source on the receiver. Pressing a source

button for less than 2 seconds will only switch the remote

control to use the commands for the selected product.

The remote control remains tuned to the selected source until

another source button on the remote control is pressed.

This enables you to operate additional sources (i. e. winding

a tape) without changing the source on the receiver.

(TV = CENTER)

If the receiver and your Philips TV (or even better in

addition a Philips VCR or DVD player) are connected with the

CINEMA LINK system bus control, some extra system

benefits are offered:

– Upon starting a source the system will automatically

switch to that input.

– You may control the system via the TV screen. Depending

on the language of the TV, this can be done in your

preferred language.

– The TV can function as the center speaker of your system,

making a separate center speaker unnecessary.

– By pressing the standby button, you can switch the

complete Home Theater System to standby.

English

CONNECTIONS

The type plate is located on the rear of the receiver.

1 Check whether the mains voltage as shown on the type

plate corresponds to your local mains voltage. If it does not,

consult your dealer or service organization.

2 Connect the mains cable to the wall socket.

To disconnect the set from the mains completely, remove the

mains plug from the wall socket.

For users in the U. K.: please follow the instructions on

page 2.

The speaker connections on the receiver are click-fit

connectors. Use them as shown below.

1 Always connect the coloured (or marked) wire to the

coloured terminal and the black (or unmarked) wire to the

black terminal.

2 Connect:

– Left front speaker to L (red and black)

– Right front speaker to R (red and black)

– Center speaker to CENTER (blue and black)

– Left surround speaker to SURROUND L (grey and black)

– Right surround speaker to SURROUND R (grey and black)

You may use your Philips TV with CINEMA LINK as the center

speaker. For TVs with a scart connector an additional audio

cinch-to-scart cable is needed. For TV’s with cinch connectors

additional cinch cables are needed. Look into the instruction

manual of your TV on how to use it as the center speaker.

AM (MW) antenna

The loop antenna supplied is for indoor use only. Position the

antenna as far away as possible from the receiver, the TV, the

cables, a DVD player, a VCR and other radiation sources.

1 Fit the plug of the frame antenna to AM LOOP as shown

below.

2 Position the antenna as far away as possible from radiation

sources.

3 Turn the antenna for optimum reception.

FM antenna

The wire antenna supplied can only be used to receive nearby

stations. For better reception we recommend using a cable

antenna system or an outdoor antenna.

1 Fit the supplied wire antenna to FM 75 ½ as shown below.

2 Move the antenna in different positions for optimum

reception.

• If you are using a cable antenna system or an outdoor

antenna, fit the antenna plug to FM 75 ½ instead of the

wire antenna.

General hints for positioning

Avoid positioning the speakers in a corner or on the floor as

this will boost the bass tones too much. Placing the speakers

behind curtains, furniture, etc. will reduce the treble response.

The listener should always be able to ”see” the speakers.

Each room has different acoustic characteristics and the

positioning possibilities are often limited. You can find the

best position for your speakers by referring to the picture

above.

As a minimum we recommend 5 speakers (2 front, a center,

2 surround) for good surround sound. It is possible to

reproduce some kind of surround sound with fewer speakers.

This is done by redirecting the signals which are foreseen for

the missing speakers to the existing ones. See “Menus” on

how to set up the receiver correctly for the number and size

of the speakers used.

Positioning the front speakers

The front speakers should be placed right and left in front of

the listening position like usual stereo speakers.

Positioning the center speaker

The center speaker should be placed in the center between

the two front speakers, e. g. underneath or on top of the TV.

The best height for the center speaker is the height of the

listener’s ears (while seated).

Positioning the surround speakers

The surround speakers should face each other and be in line

with, or slightly behind the listener.

Positioning the subwoofer

A subwoofer can be used to enhance the bass performance of

your system dramatically. The subwoofer can be positioned

anywhere in the room, because it is not possible to locate the

source of deep tones. Nevertheless, you should not place the

subwoofer in the middle of a room, since the bass could be

severely weakened. Do not place any object on the subwoofer.

The relative volume of the speakers must be adjusted for

optimal surround sound. You should be at your usual listening

position when adjusting the speaker volume. See “Receiver

menus” on how to set up the receiver for the used speakers.

1 Press POWER / STANDBY to switch on the receiver.

2 Press TEST TONE on the remote control.

y A test tone coming from the different speakers is

heard.

3 Press +/- REAR on the remote control to

increase/decrease the volume of the actual speaker.

4 Press TEST TONE on the remote control.

y The test tone stops.

Note: If you are not completely satisfied with the volume

settings, we recommend making minor adjustments to

them during surround sound playback.

If the receiver is used at very high power, it can produce

distortions which may seriously damage your speakers.

If distortions occur, reduce the volume and the tone controls

to a level where the sound is acceptable again.

To avoid overheating of the set a safety circuit has

been built in. Therefore your set may disconnect under

extreme conditions. If this happens, switch the set off

and let it cool down before reusing it.

Connecting headphones to PHONES will switch off the

SURROUND SOUND

Surround sound gives you a complete new listening sensation.

You will have the feeling of being in the middle of the action,

because sound is coming from everywhere around you. Look

out for TV broadcasts, audio and video tapes and discs with

the 5 or 1 marks which are encoded for

multichannel surround sound.

Notice that DVDs do not always carry full multichannel

surround. To be sure that a disc is multichannel encoded

consult your dealer.

Most ordinary stereo tapes and discs can be replayed using

surround sound settings with good results. If the reproduction

is distorted in surround mode, switch to normal stereo mode.

The availabilty of the various surround sound modes described

depends on the number of speakers used and the incoming

sound information.

With surround sound on, you can switch through the different

surround modes. Note that the possibilities are related to

speaker setup defined in the receivers menu.

1 Press SURROUND ON/OFF to switch on the surround sound.

yThe surround mode in use is scrolled.

2 Press SURR. MODE repeatedly to listen to the different

surround modes (if available).

yThe surround mode in use is scrolled.

3 Press HALL to switch hall either on or off.

yHALL is displayed if hall is on.

4 Press SURROUND ON/OFF to switch off the surround

sound.

ySURROUND OFF is scrolled.

Note: Switching surround sound has no effect when using the

6 CHANNEL / DVD IN

input.

HALL

The sound reproduction is enhanced and a slight echo is

added. This gives the impression of being in a large room.

SURROUND <PRO LOGIC>

The surround mode enables normal surround sound

reproduction with 4 or 5 speakers.

FRONT-3 STEREO <PRO LOGIC>

The surround sound is muted. 3 Stereo lets you listen to

surround sound without using the surround speakers.

STEREO

All sound is reproduced and played through the front left and

right speakers. This enables standard stereo reproduction.
