The Philips HTL1190B is a soundbar designed to enhance your audio experience, particularly for television and other media devices. Its primary function is to deliver improved sound quality compared to standard TV speakers, offering a more immersive listening experience for movies, music, and games. The soundbar can be positioned on a flat surface in front of your TV or optionally wall-mounted, providing flexibility in placement to suit your home entertainment setup.
The soundbar offers multiple connectivity options to ensure compatibility with a wide range of devices. For connecting to a television, you can choose between an optical digital input, a coaxial digital input, or an analog audio L/R input. This versatility allows you to select the best audio connection available on your TV for optimal sound transmission. When connecting to your TV, it is recommended to mute your TV's internal speakers to fully appreciate the soundbar's audio output.
Beyond TV connectivity, the HTL1190B allows you to enjoy audio from other devices. It features an AUX input, enabling connection to devices such as DVD players, Blu-ray disc players, or gaming consoles using analog audio cables (RCA red/white). Additionally, a 3.5mm stereo audio-in jack is available for connecting portable media players like MP3 players, offering a convenient way to play music directly through the soundbar.
For wireless audio streaming, the soundbar incorporates Bluetooth technology. This feature allows you to effortlessly play audio from Bluetooth-enabled devices such as smartphones, tablets, or computers. The pairing process is straightforward: activate Bluetooth on your device, select the Philips HTL1190B from the list of available devices, and once connected, you can stream your music wirelessly. The effective range for Bluetooth connectivity is approximately 10 meters (32.8 feet), providing freedom of movement within your listening area.
Operating the soundbar is made easy with the included remote control. The remote allows you to switch the product on/off, select the desired audio source (Optical, Coaxial, AUX, Audio In, USB, or Bluetooth), and control volume levels. The soundbar also features on-device controls for basic functions, ensuring operation even if the remote is not immediately available.
Maintaining the Philips HTL1190B is simple and requires minimal effort. For cleaning the product, it is recommended to use only a microfiber cloth. This gentle approach helps to remove dust and smudges without scratching or damaging the surface of the soundbar. Avoid using harsh cleaning agents, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can cause discoloration or damage to the product's finish.
The guide also provides important safety information that indirectly contributes to the longevity and proper functioning of the device. It advises against exposing the product to rain or water and warns against placing liquid containers near it, preventing potential internal damage from spills. Similarly, keeping the product away from naked flames or direct heat sources helps protect its internal components and external casing from heat-related damage.
Regarding battery maintenance for the remote control, the guide advises against mixing old and new batteries or different types (carbon and alkaline). It also recommends removing exhausted batteries or batteries if the remote control will not be used for a long time. This practice prevents potential battery leakage, which could damage the remote control. The guide also highlights the importance of proper disposal of batteries, emphasizing environmental responsibility.
The product is designed with high-quality materials and components that are recyclable and reusable. At the end of its life, the soundbar should not be disposed of with normal household waste but should be handed in at an official collection point or recycling facility. This ensures environmentally sound disposal and contributes to the preservation of the environment.
The HTL1190B is a CLASS II apparatus with double insulation, meaning it does not require a protective earth connection, simplifying installation and enhancing safety. This design choice also reduces the risk of electrical shock.
