Positioning for best effect

The Philips HTS8000S Home Theatre System, with its proprietary 2-speaker SonoWave system, is simple to install compared to other regular home theatre systems. However, proper system placement is critical to ensure the most immersive sound experience.

The placement diagrams shown here are only guidelines that provide great system performance, you may find other placement choices that are more suitable for your room layout and provide the sound you enjoy.

Placing the SonoWave speakers system

When placing the SonoWave speakers system, ensure that:

It should be placed at the same height and at the normal listening ear level for the best sound performance.

It should be placed at equal distance from the TV, the FRONT R at the right hand side and FRONT L at the left hand side (as shown below).

FRONT L

TV

FRONT R

It should be faced straight ahead towards the listening area. Do not place at an angle as it would reduce the system performance.

For SonoWave speakers system setting, see page 40.

Helpful Hints:

To avoid magnetic interference, do not position the SonoWave speakers system too close to your TV.

Allow adequate ventilation around the AV subwoofer and DVD system.
