Basic Connections
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’ channels’.
