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 front left and right speakers at equal distances from the TV and at an angle of approximately 45 degrees from the listening position.

B Place the centre speaker above the TV or the DVD system so that the centre channel’s sound is localised.

C Place the rear speakers at normal listening ear level facing each other or hang on the wall.

D 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.

The rear speakers are labeled as REAR LEFT or REAR RIGHT.

The front speakers are labeled as

FRONT LEFT or FRONT RIGHT.

TIPS: Before making or changing any connections, make sure that all the devices are disconnected from the power outlet.
