Positioning for best effect
The Philips HTS8000S Home Theater
System, with its proprietary 2-speaker
SonoWave system, is simple to install
compared to other regular home theater
systems. However, proper system
placement is critical to ensure the most
immersive sound experience.
The placement diagrams shown here are
only guidelines that provide great system
performance, you may find other
placement choices that are more suitable
for your room layout and provide the
sound you enjoy.

Helpful Hints:
– To avoid magnetic interference, do not
position the SonoWave speakers too close to
your TV.
– Allow adequate ventilation around the AV
subwoofer and DVD system.
Placing the SonoWave speakers
When placing the SonoWave speakers,
ensure that:
– It should be placed at the same height
and at the normal listening ear level for
the best sound performance.
– It should be placed at equal distance from
the TV, the FRONT R at the right hand
side and FRONT L at the left hand side
(as shown below.)
FRONT L

– It should be faced straight ahead towards
the listening area. Do not place at an
angle as it would reduce the system
performance.
