Frequently Asked Questions - A3.610 PHILIPS

How to connect the Philips A3.610 speaker system?

Connect the speaker cables to the corresponding outputs on the subwoofer: front left/right, rear left/right, and center (DIN or 3.5 mm jack). Connect audio sources to the inputs: INPUT 1 for a 5.1 source (Mini DIN 9-pin), INPUT 2 (stereo 3.5 mm) or INPUT 3 (RCA). Finally, plug the power cord into a wall outlet.

How to adjust volume and tones?

Use the remote control. MASTER VOLUME -/+ adjusts overall volume. BASS -/+ and TREBLE -/+ adjust bass and treble. The FLAT button cancels any over-amplification. FADE REAR/FRONT adjusts the balance between front and rear speakers.

What to do if there is no sound?

Check that the system is not in MUTE mode (MUTE button on remote). Ensure the selected input matches the connected source (INPUT 1, 2 or 3). If the problem persists, turn off the system, wait a few seconds, and turn it back on.

How to clean the speakers?

Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly damp. Never use corrosive cleaning products. Gently wipe the surface.

Where to place speakers for optimal sound?

Place the front speakers on either side of the TV, at ear level, forming an equilateral triangle with you. The center speaker should be near the center of the screen. Surround speakers behind or on the sides, slightly above ear level. The subwoofer on the floor, near a wall.

How to use Cinema mode?

Press the CINEMA button on the remote. This function mixes stereo sources into 5.1-channel Surround sound for an immersive experience.

What to do if it does not work?

Unplug the system from the power outlet, wait a few seconds, then plug it back in. If the problem persists, check connections. Visit www.philips.com/sound for more assistance.

What cables are needed to connect my devices?

For a 5.1 source, use a Mini DIN 9-pin cable (not included). For a stereo source, a 3.5 mm jack cable or RCA cables (not included). Speaker cables are provided.

How to save energy during prolonged absence?

Fully turn off the system using the POWER BUTTON on the back. Do not leave it in standby mode. Unplug the power cord.

Can the subwoofer be placed near the TV?

No, because the subwoofer is not magnetically shielded. Place it at least 0.5 meters from the TV to avoid magnetic interference.

Polarized Plug

Important notes for users in the U.K.

Mains plug

This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp plug.

To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.

2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.

3 Refit the fuse cover.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place. If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.

Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L). As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

- Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black.

- Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red.

- Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or ± ) or coloured green (or green and yellow).

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

Safety

• Do not expose the speakers to excessive heat (caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight). To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture. If fluid spills into the speakers, disconnect any connections immediately and let the speakers dry before reusing them.
• You may clean the speakers with a soft, slightly dampened lint-free cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents as they may have a corrosive effect.
• If the speakers do not operate, disconnect them from the power supply. Wait a few seconds before reconnecting them to the power supply.
• If your intentions are not to use the speaker system for a longer period of time - for example, you're going on a vacation - it is recommended to switch off the system completely and not to leave it in standby mode.

Speaker Placement -

General

• Placing speakers behind curtains, furniture, or any other objects will reduce the treble response, thus reducing the stereo effect significantly.
  • Each room has different acoustic characteristics and the placement possibilities are often limited. You can find the best position for your speakers by experimenting. In general, the speakers should be placed as symmetrical as possible in the room.

Front Satellite Speakers (figure a)

• The front left and right satellite speaker play stereo music and the off-screen sounds of video playback.
  • These satellites should be placed to the sides of your TV.
  • Viewed from the listener's position, the satellite speaker connected to Front Left at the subwoofer should be on the left side, and the satellite speaker connected to Front Right at the subwoofer should be on the right side.
• The best stereo effect is obtained when the two front satellite speakers and the listener form an equilateral triangle.
• The optimum height for these speakers is when they are placed at ear height (while seated).

Center Satellite Speaker (figure b)

• The center satellite speaker provides the on-screen effects and dialog in Dolby Digital / Dolby Surround.
• It should be placed as close to the center of your TV as possible (e.g. underneath or on top of your TV).
• It should be directed at the listener's ear level while seated.

Surround Satellite Speakers (figure c)

• The surround left and right satellite speaker provide the surround effects in Dolby Digital / Dolby Surround
- These satellites may be placed in any convenient sites alongside the listener, even sites slightly forward the listener's position.
- The surround satellite speakers do not have to be at exactly the same height as the front satellite speakers.
• Viewed from the listener's position, the satellite speaker connected to Rear Left at the subwoofer should be on the left side, and the satellite speaker connected to Rear Right at the subwoofer should be on the right side.
- If you have side walls close to your listening position, good placement for your surround satellites is slightly behind your position and slightly above ear level.

Subwoofer (figure d)

• The subwoofer's optimum place is on the floor close to the wall. The closer it is to the corner, the stronger the maximum bass output.
• The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded, so position it at least 0.5 meter from the TV.
