complete Home Cinema, with full connection, selection,
and remote control facilities for all the digital and analogue video

at a time, one cable at a time. Observe colour or other polarity
codes on cables.
Connecting the power supply
© Set the Power Voltage Selector(s) to correspond to your local
A.C. power supply.
* The installed 3.15A line fuse is correct for 220 or 230V AC
supply. For a 110 or 115V AC supply, unscrew the line fuse
holder cap, and fit the 6.3A line fuse supplied.
© Plug the receiver’s power cable connector into a suitable
AC outlet.
NOTE
When the receiver is plugged in, it always consumes some power,
even in Standby. To remove the power completely, disconnect
the power cable connector from the AC outlet.

Philips audio and video equipment fitted with Remote Control
In/Out connections can be controlled via the FR980.
Connect the receiver’s Remote Control Out socket to the Remote
Control In socket of the first equipment to be controlled.
Connect the Remote Control Out socket of the first equipment
to be controlled to the Remote Control In socket of the second
equipment to be controlled. Continue until all equipments to be
controlled are linked together.
If you want to use a Philips Remote Control Extender, connect it
to the receiver's Remote Control In socket.
Digita! inputs
For digital surround sound, you must connect a digital output
from your DVD-Video player to one of the digital inputs of the
receiver. Use other digital inputs from e.g. CD and Laser Disc
audio wherever possible.
Do not connect both optical and coaxial digital inputs from the
same device.
Unless you are using the optical digital input, leave the protective
cap in place over the coupling.
Digital Home Cinema speaker configurations
For the most realistic MPEG2 Digital Multichannel or Dolby
Digital™ surround sound:
Lar (Ly Center aughe
Surround (L)
® Speaker configuration with sub-woofer (as shown above).
© Connect five identical high-quality multiway speakers
(with Power Handling Capacity of at least 60W) to the Centre,
Surround L/R and Front L/R speaker terminals.
These speakers need not cover the lower bass range
(below about 100 Hz), which is supplied by the subwoofer.
© Connect an active subwoofer (e.g. Philips FB201 or 202),
or a separate amplifier and sub-woofer, to the Subwoofer
pre-out socket. The Power Handling Capacity of the sub-woofer
should be at least 60W.
Good results can also be obtained without a subwoofer
(as shown below).
© Connect five identical high-quality multiway speakers
(with Power Handling Capacity of at least 60W) to the Centre,
Surround L/R and Front L/R speaker terminals. These speakers
all need to be identical, full-frequency response types.
¢ The bass response of the five speakers creates a ‘virtual
subwoofer’ centred on your seating area.
