DICHIARAZIONE DI CONFORMITa
Si dichiara che lapparecchio HTR5000 PHILIPS risponde alle prescrizioni dellart. 2 comma 1 del D.M. 28 Agosto 1995 n. 548. Fatto a Eindhoven Philips Consumer Electronics Philips, Glaslaan JB Eindhoven, The Netherlands
Remove fuse cover and fuse. Fix new fuse which should be a BSAmp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type. Refit the fuse cover. If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place. If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp. Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L). As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black. Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red. Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green and yellow). Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

CAUTION

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure or other unsafe operation.

You can choose to hang the speakers on the wall. Attach the supplied bracket firmly to the rear of speakers using the supplied screws. Then mount a screw (not supplied) on the wall where the speaker is to be hung and hook the speaker securely onto the mounted screw. CAUTION! You should get a qualified person to attach the brackets to the wall. DO NOT do it by yourself to avoid unexpected damage to the equipment or injury to personnel. Helpful Hints: The rear speakers are labelled as REAR L (left) or REAR R (right). The front speakers are labelled as FRONT L (left) or FRONT R (right).
For best possible surround sound, all the speakers (except subwoofer) should be placed at the same distance from the listening position.
1 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.
2 Place the centre speaker above the TV or
the AV receiver so that the centre channels sound is localised.
3 Place the rear speakers at normal
listening ear level facing each other or mounted on the wall.
4 Place the subwoofer on the floor near
the TV. Helpful Hints: To avoid magnetic interference, do not position the front speakers too close to your TV. Allow adequate ventilation around the AV receiver.

Troubleshooting

WARNING Under no circumstances should you try to repair the system yourself, as this will invalidate the warranty. Do not open the system as there is a risk of electric shock. If a fault occurs, first check the points listed below before taking the system for repair. If you are unable to remedy a problem by following these hints, consult your dealer or Philips for help.

Problem

No power. No sound or distorted sound.

Solution

Check if the AC power cord is properly connected. Adjust the volume. Check the speaker connections and settings. Disconnect the headphones. Press the correct source button on the remote (TV or AUX, for example) to choose the equipment that you want to hear through the AV receiver. Press CENTER +- or REAR +- to adjust the volume level. Make sure the centre and rear speakers are connected correctly. Press SURROUND button to select a correct surround sound setting. Make sure the source you are playing is recorded or broadcast in surround sound (DTS, Dolby Digital, etc.). If the signal is too weak, adjust the antenna or connect an external antenna for better reception. Increase the distance between the system and your TV or VCR. Tune in to the correct frequency. Place the antenna farther away from any equipment that may be causing the noise. Select the source (DISC or TUNER, for example) before pressing the function button (S, T). Reduce the distance between the remote control and the system. Replace the batteries with new ones. Point the remote control directly toward the IR sensor. Check that the batteries are loaded correctly. Place the AV receiver as far away as possible from electrical devices that may be causing interference.

There is no sound from the centre and rear speakers.

Radio reception is poor.

The remote control does not function properly.

Low hum or buzz sound.

Glossary

Analogue: Sound that has not been turned into numbers. Analogue sound varies, while digital sound has specific numerical values. These jacks send audio through two channels, the left and right. AUDIO OUT Jacks: Jacks on the back of the AV receiver that send audio to another system (TV, Stereo, etc.). Digital: Sound that has been converted into numerical values. Digital sound is available when you use the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT COAXIAL or OPTICAL jacks. These jacks send audio through multiple channels, instead of just two channels as analogue does. Dolby Digital: A surround sound system developed by Dolby Laboratories capable of delivering up to 5.1 discrete channels of audio (front left and right, rear left and right, centre, and LFE). Dolby Pro Logic II: It creates five fullbandwidth output channels from two-channel sources. Decode only systems that derive 5.1 channels instead of the conventional 4 channels of Dolby Pro Logic surround sound. Dolby Pro Logic Surround: It is a specially encoded two-channel analogue format that will produce sound through four speaker channels (front left, centre, front right, mono surround) when a Dolby Pro Logic Decoder is used. It is also compatible with stereo systems but the user will only have two-channel (front left & right) of sound. DTS: Digital Theatre Systems. This is a surround sound system, but it is different from Dolby Digital. The formats were developed by different companies. Multichannel: DVD is specified to have each sound track constitute one sound field. Multichannel refers to a structure of sound tracks having three or more channels. Super Audio CD (SACD): This audio format is based upon the current CD standards but includes a greater amount of information that provides higher quality sound. There are three types of discs: single layer, double layer and hybrid discs. The hybrid disc contains both standard audio CD and Super Audio CD information. Surround: A system for creating realistic three-dimensional sound fields full of realism by arranging multiple speakers around the listener. RDS: Radio Data System, is a broadcasting srvice that allows FM radio stations to send additional information along with the regular FM Radio signal. This additional information including: Frequency and Station Name.
