Step 1: Placing the speakers
The Philips Home Theatre System is
simple to install. However, proper system
placement is critical to ensure an
optimum sound experience.
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.
B
Place the centre speaker above the TV or
the main unit such 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. Otherwise, keep it at least one
metre away from the TV.
Helpful Hints:
– The placement diagram shown here is
only a guideline that provides great system
performance. You may fi 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 labelled as REAR
LEFT or REAR RIGHT.
– The front speakers are labelled as
FRONT LEFT or FRONT RIGHT.
– For speaker setting, see ‘Getting Started -
Setting the speakers’ channel’.
