Helpful Hints:  
Step 1: Placing the speakers  
– The placement diagram shown here is only  
a guideline that will provide great system  
performance. You may find other placement  
choices that are more suitable for your room  
layout and provide the sound experience you  
enjoy.  
The Philips Home Theatre System is  
simple to install. However, proper  
system placement is critical to ensure an  
optimum sound experience.  
– To avoid magnetic interference, do not  
position the front speakers too close to your  
TV.  
– The rear speakers are labeled as REAR  
LEFT or REAR RIGHT.  
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.  
– The front speakers are labeled as  
FRONT LEFT or FRONT RIGHT.  
B Place the centre speaker above the TV or  
the DVD system so that the centre  
channel’s sound is localised.  
C Place the rear speakers at normal  
listening ear level facing each other.  
D Place the subwoofer at the corner of the  
room. Keep at least one metre away  
from the TV.  
TIPS: Before making or changing any connections, make sure that all the devices are disconnected  
from the power outlet.

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia  
Interface) is a digital interface that allows  
pure digital video transmission without  
the loss of image quality.  
The progressive scan video quality is only  
available when using Y Pb Pr connection  
and a progressive scan TV is required. It  
provides superior picture quality when  
watching DVD movies.  
A Use an HDMI cable (not supplied) to  
connect the HDMI OUT on this DVD  
system to the HDMI IN on a HDMI-  
compatible device (e.g. HDMI TV, HDCP  
compliant DVI TV).  
A Follow option 1 to make the basic video  
connection.  
B Use the component video cables (red/  
blue/green - not supplied) to connect the  
Y PB PR sockets on the DVD system to  
the corresponding component video  
input sockets (or labeled as Y Pb/Cb Pr/  
Cr or YUV) on the TV.  
B When you have completed the necessary  
connections, installation and set-up, see  
‘Audio Setup Page and Video Setup Page’  
for optimum HDMI audio and video  
settings.  
Helpful Hints:  
C If your TV accepts progressive signals,  
proceed to ‘Getting Started - Step 5:  
Setting up Progressive Scan feature’ for  
detailed progressive feature setup.  
– The HDMI is backward compatible with  
some DVI devices using an appropriate  
adaptor plug.  
– If a DVI device is connected, an additional  
audio cable is required for audio transmission.  
– Most of the older DVI enable devices are  
not HDCP compliant and playback is not  
possible.  
TIPS: Before making or changing any connections, make sure that all the devices are disconnected  
from the power outlet.

Analogue: Sound that has not been turned  
into numbers. Analogue sound varies, while  
digital sound has specific numerical values.  
These sockets send audio through two  
channels, the left and right.  
Dolby Surround Pro Logic II: It is an  
improved matrix decoding technology that  
provides better spatiality and directionality  
on Dolby Surround programme material,  
provides a convincing three dimensional  
sound field on conventional stereo music  
recordings and is ideally suited to bring the  
surround experience to automotive sound.  
While conventional surround programming  
is fully compatible with Dolby Surround Pro  
Logic II decoders, soundtracks will be able to  
be encoded specifically to take full advantage  
of Pro Logic II playback, including separate  
left and right surround channels. (Such  
material is also compatible with conventional  
Pro Logic decoders).  
Aspect ratio: The ratio of vertical and  
horizontal sizes of a displayed image. The  
horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional  
TVs is 4:3, and that of wide-screens is 16:9.  
AUDIO OUT Sockets: Red and white  
sockets on the back of the unit that send  
audio to another system (TV, Stereo, etc.).  
Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold  
a given length of music; measured in kilobits  
per second, or kbps. Or, the speed at which  
you record. Generally, the higher the bit  
rate, or the higher the recording speed, the  
better the sound quality. However, higher bit  
rates use more space on a disc.  
DTS: Digital Theatre Systems. This is a  
surround sound system, but it is different  
from the Dolby Digital. The formats were  
developed by different companies.  
Chapter: Sections of a picture or a music  
piece on a DVD that are smaller than titles.  
A title is composed of several chapters. Each  
chapter is assigned a chapter number

Disc menu: A screen display prepared for  
allowing a selection of images, sounds,  
subtitles, multi-angles, etc to be recorded on  
a DVD.  
HDMI: High-Definition Multimedia  
Interface (HDMI) is a high-speed digital  
interface that can transmit uncompressed  
high definition video and digital multichannel  
audio. It delivers perfect picture and sound  
quality, completely free from noise. HDMI is  
fully backward-compatible with DVI.  
As required by the HDMI standard,  
connecting to HDMI or DVI products  
without HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital  
Content Protection) will result in no Video  
or Audio output.  
DivX: The DivX code is a patent-pending,  
MPEG-4 based video compression  
technology, developed by DivXNetworks,  
Inc., that can shrink digital video to sizes  
small enough to be transported over the  
internet, while maintaining high visual quality.  
Dolby Digital: A surround sound system  
developed by Dolby Laboratories containing  
up to six channels of digital audio (front left  
and right, surround left and right, centre and  
subwoofer).  
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content  
Protection) is a specification that provides a  
secure transmission of digital contents  
between different devices (to prevent  
unauthorised copyright).
