Step 1: Placing the speakers
The Philips Home Theater System is
simple to install. However, proper
system placement is critical to ensure an
optimum sound experience.
APlace the front left and right speakers at
equal distances from the TV and at an
angle of approximately 45 degrees from
the listening position.
BPlace the center speaker above the TV or
the main unit so that the center channel’s
sound is localized.
CPlace the rear speakers at normal
listening ear level facing each other or
hang on the wall.
DPlace the subwoofer at the corner of the
room. Otherwise, keep it at least one
meter away from the TV.
Helpful Hints:
– The placement diagram shown here is only
a guideline that provides great system
performance. You may nd other placement
choices that are more suitable for your room
layout that provide the sound experience you
enjoy.
– To avoid magnetic interference, never
position the front speakers too close to your
TV.
– The rear speakers are labeled as REAR
LEFT or REAR RIGHT.
– The front speakers are labeled as
FRONT LEFT or FRONT RIGHT.
– For speaker setting, see ‘Getting Started -
Setting the speakers’ channels.’
