Connect the supplied AM loop antenna and FM antenna to the respective terminals. Adjust the position of the antenna for optimal reception. AM Antenna

Rear connections

The type plate is located at the rear of the system.

A Power

Before connecting the AC power cord to the wall outlet, ensure that all other connections have been made. WARNING! For optimal performance, use only the original power cable. Never make or change any connections with the power switched on. To avoid overheating of the system, a safety circuit has been built in. Therefore, your system may switch to Standby mode automatically under extreme conditions. If this happens, let the system cool down before reusing it (not available for all versions).
q Position the antenna as far as possible from a TV, VCR or other radiation source.
The optional equipment and connecting cords are not supplied. Refer to the operating instructions of the connected equipment for details. Connecting other equipment to your system Use a cinch cable to connect AUX/CDR IN to the analogue audio out terminals of an external equipment (TV, VCR, Laser Disc player, DVD player or CD Recorder). Note: If you are connecting equipment with a mono output (a single audio out terminal), connect it to the AUX/CDR IN left terminal. Alternatively, you can use a single to double cinch cable (the output sound still remain mono).
q For better FM stereo reception, connect an outdoor FM antenna to the FM ANTENNA terminal.

C Speakers Connection

Front Speakers Connect the speaker wires to the SPEAKERS terminals, right speaker to "R" and left speaker to "L", coloured (marked) wire to "+" and black (unmarked) wire to "-".
Inserting batteries into the remote control
q Fully insert the stripped portion of the speaker wire into the terminal as shown. Notes: For optimal sound performance, use the supplied speakers. Do not connect more than one speaker to any one pair of +/- speaker terminals. Do not connect speakers with an impedance lower than the speakers supplied. Please refer to the SPECIFICATIONS section of this manual.
Insert two batteries type R03 or AAA into the remote control with the correct polarity as indicated by the "+" and "-" symbols inside the battery compartment.

CAUTION! Remove batteries if they are exhausted or will not be used for a long time. Do not use old and new or different types of batteries in combination. Batteries contain chemical substances, so they should be disposed off properly.

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 solve a problem by following these hints, consult your dealer or service centre.

Problem

CD OPERATION UNREADABLE DISC is displayed.

Solution

Check if the disc is inserted upside down. Wait until the moisture condensation at the lens has cleared. Replace or clean the disc, see Maintenance. Use a finalised CD-RW or a correct MP3-CD format disc. Insert a disc.

DICHIARAZIONE DI CONFORMITA Si dichiara che lapparecchio FW-M355 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).
Typeskilt finnes p apparatens underside. Observer: Nettbryteren er sekundert innkoplet. Den innebygde netdelen er derfor ikke frakoplet nettet s lenge apparatet er tilsluttet nettkontakten. For redusere faren for brann eller elektrisk stt, skal apparatet ikke utsettes for regn eller fuktighet.
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.

Rear connections

The type plate is located at the rear of the system. For users in the U.K.: please follow the instructions on page 2.

A Power

Before connecting the AC power cord to the wall outlet, ensure that all other connections have been made. WARNING! For optimal performance, use only the original power cable. Never make or change any connections with the power switched on. To avoid overheating of the system, a safety circuit has been built in. Therefore, your system may switch to Standby mode automatically under extreme conditions. If this happens, let the system cool down before reusing it (not available for all versions).
q Position the antenna as far as possible from a TV, VCR or other radiation source.

FM Antenna

Optional connection
The optional equipment and connecting cords are not supplied. Refer to the operating instructions of the connected equipment for details. Connecting other equipment to your system Use a cinch cable to connect AUX/CDR to the analogue audio out terminals of an external equipment (TV, VCR, Laser Disc player, DVD player or CD Recorder). Note: If you are connecting equipment with a mono output (a single audio out terminal), connect it to the AUX/CDR left terminal. Alternatively, you can use a single to double cinch cable (the output sound still remain mono).
q For better FM stereo reception, connect an outdoor FM antenna to the FM ANTENNA terminal.

C Speakers Connection

Front Speakers Connect the speaker wires to the SPEAKERS terminals, right speaker to "R" and left speaker to "L", coloured (marked) wire to "+" and black (unmarked) wire to "-".
Inserting batteries into the remote control
Insert two batteries type R06 or AA into the remote control with the correct polarity as indicated by the "+" and "-" symbols inside the battery compartment.
q Fully insert the stripped portion of the speaker wire into the terminal as shown. Notes: For optimal sound performance, use the supplied speakers. Do not connect more than one speaker to any one pair of +/- speaker terminals. Do not connect speakers with an impedance lower than the speakers supplied. Please refer to the SPECIFICATIONS section of this manual.

CAUTION! Remove batteries if they are exhausted or will not be used for a long time. Do not use old and new or different types of batteries in combination. Batteries contain chemical substances, so they should be disposed off properly.
