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.

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.

LEFT or REAR RIGHT.
