Step 1: Placing the speakers

The Philips Home Theatre System is simple to install. However, proper system placement is critical to ensure an optimum sound experience.

A Place the Ambisound speakers at the normal listening ear level, equal distance from the TV and face straight ahead towards the listening area.

B Place the subwoofer at the corner of the

room. Keep at least one metre away from the TV.

Helpful Hints:

–The placement diagram shown here is only a guideline that will provide great system performance. You may fi 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.

–Do not place the Ambisound speakers at an angle as it would reduce the system performance.

–For Ambisound speakers setting, see ‘Getting Started - Step 6: Setting the Ambisound speakers.’
