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 or  
hang on the wall.  
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.

Glossary  
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.  
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  
JPEG: A very common digital still picture  
format. A still picture data compression  
system proposed by the Joint Photographic  
Expert Group, which features a small  
decrease in image quality in spite of its high  
compression ratio.  
enabling you to locate the chapter you want.  
Disc menu: A screen display prepared for  
allowing a selection of images, sounds,  
subtitles, multi-angles, etc to be recorded on  
a DVD.  
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.  
MP3: A file format with a sound data  
compression system. “MP3” is the  
abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts  
Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer3. By  
using the MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW  
can contain about 10 times more data than a  
regular CD.  
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).  
Multichannel: DVDs are formatted to have  
each sound track constitute one sound field.  
Multichannel refers to a structure of sound  
tracks having three or more channels.  
Playback control (PBC): Refers to the  
signal recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for  
controlling playback. By using menu screens  
recorded on a Video CD or SVCD that  
supports PBC, you can enjoy interactive  
playback and searching.  
46  
Glossary (continued)  
Progressive Scan: The progressive scan  
displays twice the number of frames per  
second than in an ordinary TV system. It  
offers higher picture resolution and quality.  
Region code: A system allowing discs to be  
played only in the region designated. This  
unit will only play discs that have compatible  
region codes. You can find the region code  
of your unit by looking at the product label.  
Some discs are compatible with more than  
one region (or ALL regions).  
Surround: A system for creating realistic  
three dimensional sound fields full of realism  
by arranging multiple speakers around the  
listener.  
Title: The longest section of a movie or  
music feature on DVD. Each title is assigned  
a title number, enabling you to locate the  
title you want.  
VIDEO OUT socket: Yellow socket on  
the back of the DVD system that sends the  
DVD picture video to a TV.
