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 main unit such 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. Otherwise, keep it at least one metre away from the TV.

Helpful Hints:

The placement diagram shown here is only a guideline that provides great system performance. You may fi nd other placement choices that are more suitable for your room layout that provide the sound experience you enjoy.

To avoid magnetic interference, never position the front speakers too close to your TV.

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

The front speakers are labelled as FRONT LEFT or FRONT RIGHT.

For speaker setting, see ‘Getting Started - Setting the speakers’ channel’.
