REMOTE CONTROL  
Once you have found and tested the codes for your various  
appliances, you may want to write them down here.

You can identify the universal remote control by the  
inscription Multibrand/Universal.

The universal remote control must be programmed to use the  
codes for your appliances of different brands. This is done by  
keying in a 4-digit code or by scanning the codes until the  
correct one is found. We recommend to using the 4-digit  
code. This method is faster and more reliable. The code  
scanning method should only be used if you cannot find the  
code for one of your appliances. The code table can be found  
at the end of the booklet.  
Important!  
The buttons of the remote control must be used for  
programming, not the buttons of the receiver or other  
appliances.  
Programming with the 4-digit code  
1 Keep the source button for the appliance which should be  
controlled and2 pressed for 3 seconds.  
Resetting the remote control  
1 Keep one of the source buttons and 2 pressed for 3  
seconds.  
2 Key in the 4-digit code for the appliance (codetable at the  
end of the booklet).  
2 Key in the 3-digit code 981.  
yThe remote control is now reset to all its original Philips  
Notes: – If more than 4 digits are entered, the remote  
control will recognize only the ones keyed in first.  
– If you do not key in a code within 30 seconds the  
remote control will switch off the programming  
function without changing the code.  
codes.  
– To program a new appliance, simply overwrite the  
old code by entering a new one.  
Scanning the codetable  
1 Switch on the appliance which should be controlled.  
2 Keep the source button for the appliance which should be  
controlled and2 pressed for 3 seconds.  
3 Press and release 2 again.  
yThe remote control sends the codes for channel up or  
standby (depending on the selected source) for one  
brand after the other.  
4 As soon as the appliance reacts – switches to the next  
channel or to standby – press 2 to confirm the code.  
yThe identified code will be used.  
If the set does not react within 2 minutes, the code for this  
appliance is not stored in the remote control. The code of  
the remote control will remain unchanged.  
Note: When taking out the batteries of the remote control for  
more than 1 minute the codes must be reprogrammed.

Audio connections  
There are analogue and digital connectors available on some  
appliances. If possible use the digital connection; usually this  
will result in better sound quality. See Reassigning a source  
selectionon how to use the digital connectors of the  
receiver.  
Because of a different kind of output signal, the use of Dolby  
Digital Laserdisc requires an optional AC-3 RF demodulator.

offered:  
Upon starting a source the system will automatically  
switch to that input.  
You may control the system via the TV screen. Depending  
on the language of the TV, this can be done in your  
preferred language.

antenna as far away as possible from the receiver, the TV, the  
cables, a DVD player, a VCR and other radiation sources.  
1 Check whether the mains voltage as shown on the type  
plate corresponds to your local mains voltage. If it does not,  
consult your dealer or service organization.  
1 Fit the plug of the frame antenna to AM LOOP as shown  
below.  
2 Connect the mains cable to the wall socket.  
To disconnect the set from the mains completely, remove the  
mains plug from the wall socket.  
2 Turn the antenna for optimum reception.

TV as the center speaker  
You may use your Philips TV with CINEMA LINK as the center  
speaker. For TVs with a scart connector an additional audio  
cinch-to-scart cable is needed. For TVs with cinch connectors  
additional cinch cables are needed. These cables must be  
connected to the blue CENTER PRE-OUT connector on the  
back. Look into the instruction manual of your TV on how to  
use it as the center speaker.

Speaker setup and testing  
The relative volume of the speakers must be adjusted for  
optimal surround sound. You should be at your usual listening  
position when adjusting the speaker volume. See Receiver  
menuson how to set up the receiver for the used speakers.

the subwoofer, is heard.  
Positioning of the speakers  
General hints for positioning  
3 Press +/- REAR on the remote control to  
increase/decrease the volume of the actual speaker. The  
best result is achieved when all speakers have equal  
volume in the listening position.  
Avoid positioning the speakers in a corner or on the floor as  
this will boost the bass tones too much. Placing the speakers  
behind curtains, furniture, etc. will reduce the treble  
response. The listener should always be able to seethe  
speakers.  
4 Press TEST TONE on the remote control.  
y The test tone stops.  
Each room has different acoustic characteristics and the  
positioning possibilities are often limited. You can find the  
best position for your speakers by referring to the picture  
above.  
Note: If you are not completely satisfied with the volume  
settings, we recommend making minor adjustments to  
them during surround sound playback.  
As a minimum we recommend 5 speakers (2 front, a center,  
2 surround) for good surround sound. It is possible to  
reproduce some kind of surround sound with fewer speakers.  
This is done by redirecting the signals which are foreseen for  
the missing speakers to the existing ones. See Menuson  
how to set up the receiver correctly for the number and size  
of the speakers used.  
Power handling  
If the receiver is used at very high power it can produce  
distortions which may seriously damage your speakers. If  
distortions occur, reduce the volume and the tone controls to  
a level where the sound is acceptable again.  
To avoid overheating of the set a safety circuit has  
been built in. Therefore your set may disconnect under  
extreme conditions. If this happens, switch the set off  
and let it cool down before reusing it.  
Positioning the front speakers  
The front speakers should be placed right and left in front of  
the listening position like usual stereo speakers.  
Positioning the center speaker  
The center speaker should be placed in the center between  
the two front speakers, e. g. underneath or on top of the TV.  
The best height for the center speaker is the height of the  
listeners ears (while seated).  
Headphones  
Connecting headphones to PHONES will switch off the  
speakers. The receiver switches to STEREOand surround  
sound will be reduced to a stereo signal which is reproducible  
by standard headphones.  
Positioning the surround speakers  
The surround speakers should face each other and be in line  
with, or slightly behind the listener.  
Disconnecting the headphones switches on the speakers  
again. If you wish to enjoy surround sound again, switch the  
receiver back to surround sound.  
Positioning the subwoofer  
A subwoofer can be used to enhance the bass performance of  
your system dramatically. The subwoofer can be positioned  
anywhere in the room, because it is not possible to locate the  
source of deep tones. Nevertheless, you should not place the  
subwoofer in the middle of a room, since the bass could be  
severely weakened. Do not place any object on the  
subwoofer.

marks which are encoded for multichannel surround sound.  
You should prefer Dolby Digital or MPEG Multichannel to get  
the best out of your receiver.  
SURROUND  
The surround mode enables normal surround sound reproduction  
with 4 or 5 speakers. Depending on the source material, Dolby  
Surround Pro Logic, Dolby Digital or MPEG is reproduced.  
Notice that DVDs do not always carry full multichannel  
surround. To be sure that a disc is multichannel encoded  
consult your dealer.  
PRO LOGIC, DOLBY DIGITAL, MPEG  
In addition to SURROUND, the surround mode used –  
depending on the source material will be displayed. In case  
of digital surround, the sound format AC-3 (for Dolby Digital) or  
MPEG (for MPEG 2 Multichannel) will be displayed, followed by  
the sound channels, available on the source (e. g. DVD).  
Most ordinary stereo tapes and discs can be replayed using  
surround sound settings with good results. If the reproduction  
is distorted in surround mode, switch to normal stereo mode.  
Example: AC-3 3/2.1 Dolby Digital, 3 front channels,  
2 surround channels and a subwoofer  
channel.  
The availabilty of the various surround sound modes  
described depends on the number of speakers used and the  
incoming sound information.
