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 be used only if you cannot find the
code for one of your appliances. The codes are listed at the
end of this book.
Important!
Use the remote control buttons 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.

Analog audio connections
There are analog 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
selection” on how to use the digital connectors of the receiver.
consequently cannot be decoded and played back inside most
CD, LD, or DVD players. For this reason, when DTS-encoded
software is played back through the analog outputs of the CD,
LD, or DVD player, excessive noise will be exhibited. To avoid
possible damage to the audio system, proper precautions
should be taken by the customer if the analog outputs are
connected directly to the receiver.
Because of a different kind of output signal, the use of Dolby
Digital Laserdisc requires an optional AC-3 RF demodulator.
DTS Digital SurroundTM is a discrete 5.1-channel digital audio
format available on CD, LD, and DVD software which
To enjoy DTS Digital SurroundTM playback, a DTS-compatible
player has to be connected to one of the digital inputs of the

The unit complies with the FCC-Rules, Part 15.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
TV as the center speaker
You may use your Philips TV with CINEMA LINK as the center
speaker. For TV’s 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.

SYSTEM SETUP
CENTER
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
menu” on how to unit up the receiver for the used speakers.
Ideally, the volume in the listening position should be the
same from all speakers.

SURROUND
(REAR)
1 Press POWER / STANDBY to switch on the receiver.
RIGHT
LEFT
2 Press TEST TONE on the remote control.
y A test tone coming from the different speakers, except
the subwoofer, is heard.
Positioning the speakers
General hints for positioning
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 ”see” the
speakers.
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.
4 Press TEST TONE on the remote control.
Each room has different acoustic characteristics and the
positioning possibilities often are limited. You can find the
best position for your speakers by referring to the picture
above.
y The test tone stops.
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 “Menus” on
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 damage your speakers seriously. If
distortions occur, reduce the volume and the tone controls to
a level where the sound is acceptable again.
To avoid overheating of the unit a safety circuit has
been built in. Therefore your set may disconnect under
extreme conditions. If this happens, switch the unit off
and let it cool down before reusing it. After having let
the set cool down switch the set on again and select
the desired source by turning SOURCE SELECT.
Positioning the front speakers
The front speakers should be placed to the 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
listener’s 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.
Positioning the subwoofer
Disconnecting the headphones switches on the speakers
again. If you wish to enjoy surround sound again, switch the
receiver back to surround sound.
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.
Maintenance
Clean the receiver with a soft,
slightly dampened, lint-free cloth. Do
not use any cleaning agents as they
may have a corrosive effect.
Do not expose the receiver to
humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat
(caused by heating equipment or
direct sunlight).

SYSTEM SETUP
Receiver adjustment
Once the number and position of loudspeakers has been
fixed, you can adjust the initial receiver settings for optimum
surround sound with the actual setup:
1 Set which speakers have been connected to the receiver
(see “Menus / SPEAKR SETUP”).
Note: The initial setting of your receiver is:
two front speakers left and right: present
(cannot be altered)
center speaker: present
two rear speakers: present
subwoofer: present
2 Select the size of the speakers (SMALLor LARGE)
(see “Menus / SPEAKR SIZES”).
Select SMALLif your speaker is able to reproduce low
notes down to at least 80–100 Hz.
Select LARGEif your speaker is able to reproduce low
notes down to at least 50 Hz.
(As a rule of thumb, a LARGEspeaker has a cone diameter
of at least 12 cms (5 inches).)
See the specification sheets of your loudspeakers.
Note: The initial setting of your receiver is:
FR 985, FR 986, FR 995, FR 996:
all speakers: LARGE
FR 963, FR 994:
all speakers: SMALL
3 Set the distance from the speakers to the listener’s position
(see “Menus / SPK DISTANCE”).
Note: The initial setting of your receiver is:

The 6 CHANNEL / DVD INPUT connectors can be assigned to
any of the available sources (excluding TUNER and PHONO).
The assignment can be done via the * SELECT INPUT
option in the menu. See below for more details.
About 6 CHANNEL-DVD/SACD INPUT
The 6 CHANNEL / DVD INPUT can be used to connect a
device with a built-in multichannel decoder (e.g. Dolby Digital,
DTS, etc.) and 6-channel output connector, i. e. a high end
DVD/SACD player.
Reassigning a source selection
If a source is selected with SOURCE SELECT the standard
audio input is used. To change this, the source selection must
be reassigned to another audio input.
When using the 6 CHANNEL / DVD INPUT audio input, the
receiver works as a multichannel amplifier. The source
reproduces surround sound and sends it to the receiver
divided into the necessary channels. Therefore the
