Connections
Step 1: Placing the speakers and
subwoofer
For best possible surround sound, all speakers
(except subwoofer) should be placed at the
same distance from the listening position.
Place the front left and right speakers at equal
distances from the TV set and at an angle of
approximately 45 degrees from the listening
position.
Place the center speaker above the TV set or the
system so the center channel’s sound is localized.
Place the surround speakers at normal listening
ear level facing each other or mounted on the
set.
Place the subwoofer on the floor near theTV
set.
Notes:
–To avoid magnetic interference, do not position
the front speakers too close to your TV set.
– Allow adequate ventilation around the DVD Mini
Hi-Fi System.
IMPORTANT!
The type plate is located on the rear of
the system.
To avoid overheating of the system, a
safety circuit has been built in. Therefore,
your system may switch to Standby
mode automatically under extreme
conditions. If this happens, let the system
cool down before reusing it.

subwoofer

speaker to “L”, coloured (marked) wire to “+”
and black (unmarked) wire to “–”. Fully insert
the stripped portion of the speaker wire into the
terminal as shown.
Connect the Surround Speakers and Center
Speaker system using the supplied speaker cables
to the speaker jacks on the SUBWOOFER by
matching the colours of the jacks and speaker
plugs.
Connect the Subwoofer using the supplied
speaker cable to the DIN OUT jack on the DVD
Mini Hi-Fi System.
Connect the AC MAINS.
Notes:
–For optimal sound performance, use the
supplied speakers.
–Do not connect more than one speaker to any
one pair of +/- speaker terminals.
–Do not connect speakers with an impedance
lower than the speakers supplied. Please refer to
the SPECIFICATIONS section of this manual.

Step 3: Connecting TV set
IMPORTANT!
–You only need to make one video
connection from the following options,
according to the capabilities of your TV
system.
–S-Video or Component Video
connection provides higher picture
quality.These options must be available
on yourTV set.
–Connect the system directly to the TV
set.
Using Video In jack (CVBS)
Use the composite video cable (yellow) to
connect the system’s CVBS jack to the video
input jack (or labeled as A/V In,Video In,
Composite or Baseband) on the TV set.
To listen to TV channels through this system, use
the audio cables (white/red) to connect AUX/

the corresponding Component video input jacks
(or labeled as Pr/Cr Pb/Cb Y or YUV) on the TV
set.
To listen to TV channels through this system, use

order to view the DVD playback viaTV.
See your electronics retailer or contact
Philips for details on RF modulator
availability and operations.
Using an accessory RF modulator
Use the composite cable (yellow) to connect the
system’s CVBS jack to the video input jack on
