General Information
• The type plate (which contains the
serial number) is located at the rear
of the system.
• Recording is permissible if
copyright or other rights of third
parties are not infringed.
Environmental Information
All unnecessary packaging has been
omitted. We have tried to make the
packaging easy to separate into three
materials: cardboard (box), polystyrene
foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags,
protective foam sheet).
Your system consists of materials which
can be recycled and reused if disassembled
by a specialized company. Please observe
the local regulations regarding the disposal
of packaging materials, exhausted
batteries and old equipment.
Energy Star (for model FW-P78 only)
As an ENERGY STARRPartner; Philips has
determined that this product meets the
ENERGY STARRguidelines for energy
efficiency.
Safety Information
• Before operating the system, check that
the operating voltage indicated on the
typeplate (or the voltage indication
beside the voltage selector) of your
system is identical with the voltage of
your local power supply. If not, please
consult your dealer. The typeplate is
located at the rear of your system.
• When the system is switched on, do not
move it around.
• Place the system on a solid base (e.g. a
cabinet).
• Place the system in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent internal
heat build-up in your system. Allow at
least 10 cm clearance from the rear and
the top of the unit and 5 cm from the
each side.
• The system incorporates a built-in
safety feature that prevents overheating
(for model FW-P78 only) .
• Do not expose the system to excessive
moisture, rain, sand or heat sources.
• Under no circumstances should you
repair the system yourself, as this will
invalidate the warranty!
GENERAL INFORMATION SAFETY INFORMATION
• If the system is brought directly from a
cold to a warm location, or is placed in a
very damp room, moisture may
condense on the lens of the CD unit
inside the system. Should this occur, the
CD player will not operate normally.
Leave the power on for about one hour
with no disc in the system until normal
playback is possible.
• Electrostatic discharge may cause
unexpected problems. See whether
these problems disappear if you unplug
the AC power cord and plug it in again
after a few seconds.
• To disconnect the system from the
power supply completely, remove
the AC power plug from the wall
socket.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC
Dolby Pro Logic
This state of the art Dolby Pro Logic mini
system enables you to experience and
enjoy a Home Cinema sound ambience. The
Pro Logic system allows more accurate
definition of the individual sound sources.
It produces greater sound separation
between channels and provides pinpoint
sound localization. Pro Logic provides four
sound outputs: Left, Center, Right and
Surround (Rear). Front sounds are produced
from the pair of Left and Right speakers
and a Center speaker. The surround sound
is reproduced by two speakers placed at
the rear of the listening area. Although the
surround sound is monaural (single-source),
a pair of speakers is necessary to produce
the correct diffused sound.
This Pro Logic decoder enables you to
decode the following modes: Dolby
Surround, Center Phantom, Dolby 3
Stereo or normal Stereo .
Setting up the Dolby Pro Logic
system
You must set up the system properly in
order to enjoy the Home Cinema sound to
the fullest. First, connect the speakers.
5-Speaker Connection
• Front speakers: Connect the front
speakers.
• Center speaker: Connect the center
speaker.
• Rear (surround) speakers: Connect
either the wired rear surround speakers
or a pair of wireless rear speakers (not
supplied) to the SURROUND OUT
terminals.
