Playing the speakers and subwoofer

System positioning :

The subwoofer is recommended to be put on the floor to get a better acoustic effect.

For best possible surround sound, all the speakers (except subwoofer) should be placed at the same distance from the listening position.

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

Place the centre speaker above the TV so that the centre channel's sound is localised.

Place the surround speakers at normal listening, ear level facing each other or mounted on the wall.

Helpful Hints:

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

Troubleshooting

Warning -

Under no circumstances should you try to repair the system yourself, as this will invalidate the warranty. Do not open the system as there is a risk of electric shock. If a fault occurs, first check the points listed below before taking the system for repair. If you are unable to remedy the problem by following hints mentioned in below table, Consult your dealer or PHILIPS APSC for help.

Problem Solution

Replace the batteries with new ones / Point the remote control directly towards the IR sensor (located on front panel of the subwoofer) / Check that the batteries are loaded correctly / Switch off the system for 30 seconds and then restart.
4. Low hum or buzz sound.	Place the product as far away as possible from electrical devices that may be causing interference / Check power supply voltage and consult electrician.
5. The content of the USB / SD flash drive can not be read.	The USB / SD flash drive format is not compatible with the system. Drive is formatted with a different file system which is not supported by this unit (e.g. NTFS).
6. Slow operation of the USB / SD flash drive / can not detect USB / SD flash drive.	Large file size of high memory USB / SD flash drive takes longer time to read and play. / Take out USB / SD drive and insert it again properly.

8. FM reception not good.	While listening radio turn off TV / DVD or other radiation source.
