OPERATION / GETTING STARTED
NOTE
Unless the front and surround speakers are full frequency
response types, you must use a sub-woofer for satisfactory
digital surround sound.
Working without a Centre speaker is also possible: in this case
the Centre speaker's sound is distributed between the Front Left
and Right speakers. This configuration is not recommended
because most of the dialogue that locks the sound into the
picture is carried by the centre channel.
If you wish to use external amplifiers to produce extra sound
power, you can connect them to the Front L/R, Surround L/R
and Center preamplifier outputs. In this case, the power
handling capacity of the speakers should match the output
power of the external amplifiers to which they are connected.
In this configuration, no connections should be made to the
Front L/R, Center, and Surround L/R speaker terminals.
These configurations are also suitable for Dolby Pro Logic™ and
the other analogue surround sound modes, as well as stereo.
In some cases some speakers will be inactive.
AM tuning step
Set this switch to 9 kHz to receive AM radio broadcasts in Europe,
10 kHz to receive them in the USA and Asia.
Antenna
© FM antenna terminal (75Q).
For connecting an external FM antenna with a coaxial cable,
or for connecting a cable network FM source.
© AM antenna and ground terminals.
For connecting the supplied AM loop antenna. Use the terminals
marked AM and GND.
The supplied AM loop antenna will provide good AM reception
in most areas. Position the loop antenna to the best reception.
Multisystem remote control
The remote control is programmed to operate Philips and related
brand equipment using RC5 or RC6 remote control codes. But it
also has a learning facility which allows it to be re-programmed
for other equipment brands using other control codes,
The learning procedure is explained on page 12 of this manual.
Unless codes have been changed using the the learning
procedure, the slider switch should be set to RC-5 (or User).
When codes have been changed using the the leaming procedure,
the SLIDER SWITCH [€] should be set to User.
