Other connections: Composite video (CVBS) out, FM Antenna, MW Antenna PC Link: USB 2.0 USB PC Link USB PC Link lets you playback your MP3 music through the powerful speakers of Philips sound systems instead of your PC speakers. By connecting a PC directly to your audio system with a USB cable, you can stream MP3 music directly to your sound system, transforming your PC into a 'massive MP3 music jukebox'. The control buttons on the sound system and remote control provide easy navigation and control of the MP3 music stored in the MusicMatch Playlist.

Song title display Gameport connection Game Sound modes MIX-IT for mixing game sound 50 hours of MP3-CD music Animated dashboard display Class D Amplifier Class D Digital Amplifier takes an analog signal, converts it into a digital signal and then amplifies the signal digitally. The signal then enters a demodulation filter to give the final output. The amplified digital output delivers all the advantages of digital audio, including improved sound quality. In addition, Class D Digital Amplifier has greater than 90% efficiency compared to traditional AB amplifiers. This high efficiency translates into a powerful amplifier with a small footprint. MAX Sound MAX Sound technology produces an instant boost in bass, maximizing volume performance and instantly creating the most impressive listening experience with just the touch of a button. Its sophisticated electronic circuitry calibrates existing sound and volume settings, instantly boosting bass and volume to maximum levels without distortion. The end result is a noticeable amplifying of both sound spectrum and volume and a potent audio boost that will add mileage to any music. 2x200W RMS/2x400W music power

DICHIARAZIONE DI CONFORMITA Si dichiara che lapparecchio FWM589, 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.

I want the minimum effect from the Philips Sound Agent 2 sound mode when listening to MP3 music streaming via USB PC Link. Radio reception is poor.
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. Insert a disc. Load in the disc with the labeled side facing up. Replace or clean the disc, see Care and safety information. Use a finalised CD-R(W) or a correct format disc. Remove and reconnect the AC power cord and switch on the system again. Adjust the volume. Disconnect the headphones. Check that the speakers are connected correctly. Check that the AC power cord is connected properly. When in USB PC LINK mode, check that the PCs volume is not muted. When playing CD from PCs CD drive, refer to USB PC Link - Enable digital CD audio output. Select the source (CD or TUNER, for example) before pressing the function button ( S , T). , Reduce the distance between the remote control and the system. Replace the battery. Point the remote control directly toward the IR sensor.
NO DISC is displayed or the disc cannot be played.
The system does not react when buttons are pressed. Sound cannot be heard or is of poor quality.

The remote control does not function properly.
