Basic Connections
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.

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
